Filed:

Oct 25, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/664722

Inventors:

Christopher J. Lyon - Santa Barbara CA

International Classification:

B65D 1744

US Classification:

220278

Abstract:

A liquid container comprises an open topped vessel of generally rectangular cross-section with a handle on one side wall and a lid pivoted to that side wall. The lid has projecting puncture means which pierce the top of a sealed, semi-rigid container of a beverage, such as fruit juice, when the container is located in the vessel and the lid is closed. A slider closure member is mounted in slideway structure on the top of the lid so as to be slidable along a rectangular path over two apertures to either close or open both the apertures, the path being offset relative to the handle so that the slider can be operated by a thumb of a hand by which the handle is gripped. The apertures communicate with the interior of a semi-rigid container in the vessel via passages in the puncture means when the lid is closed. One of the apertures is an outlet through which the liquid is poured and the other is a vent hole.
