ABSTRACT:
A protective device for use with a drinking container is disclosed for protecting a person while drinking from the container. The protective device may be used as a moustache protective device or may be used for preventing ice within the liquid container from contacting the upper lip of the person drinking from the container. The device includes a shield having an aperture with tabs extending from opposed sides of the shield. The tabs are established for contacting the outer circumference of the drinking container when the shield is positioned over the opening. The aperture provides control liquid flow from the drinking container to the person. Resilient means including a first and a second resilient arm grasp the outer circumference of the drinking container for retaining the shield to the container. The device may be an integral plastic member with the first and second arms being resilient within limited excursions of deformation while being simultaneously deformable when subjected to excursions beyond the limited excursions. Accordingly, the integral plastic member may be adjustable for resiliently grasping liquid containers of various sizes. An optional cartridge may be included for introducing a substance such as pills or the like into the controlled liquid flow from the drinking container. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
