ABSTRACT:
A drinking receptacle provided with a generally cup-like body and an enclosing cover removably coupled to the top portion and upper open end of the cup-like body; the cover having a drinking or outlet opening near the peripheral rim thereof; and a finger operated valve adapted to open and close said drinking or outlet opening whereby the receptacle may contain hot or cold beverages therein and the valve prevents spillage of said beverages at times when beverages are not being poured or drunk from said drinking or outlet opening. The finger operated valve having an actuator portion reciprocally mounted in the side of the cover or in the side of the drinking receptacle and being coupled directly to and integral with the valve whereby pressure on the actuator by a persons finger may directly open the valve in such a manner as to allow liquid to pass through said drinking or outlet opening. Resilient means tend to hold the valve closed and in accordance with various species of the invention, the finger operated valve may be a poppet type valve openable in a direction against pressure in the receptacle or in the opposite direction whereby pressure may be automatically relieved by force on the poppet against spring pressure which normally tends to hold it closed. The spring force being capable of holding the valve closed to prevent escape of liquid when the contents thereof are under safe pressure conditions.
