TODAY'S PATENT - NON-SPILL DRINKING CONTAINER

 The invention addresses the challenge of transitioning infants from conventional bottles to open cups by introducing a spill-proof container design. During this developmental phase, children struggle with holding and using open cups, leading to spills. Existing spill-proof container covers often involve complex mechanisms and restrict drinking areas. The spill-proof container consists of a collar and seal assembly, allowing drinking from any point along the rim. The collar includes an open upper end, a closed lower end, and a sidewall with a tapered shape extending inward. The closed lower end features a projection with at least one passage for fluid flow.

The sidewall’s inner surface near the open upper end provides a support surface with radial protrusions, defining channels. A fastener assembly is positioned externally on the collar. The seal matches the open upper end’s shape and includes an aperture for securing the projection. This design facilitates spill-free drinking from various positions around the collar. Unlike conventional spill-proof covers, the proposed design avoids complex components and valve structures, offering a simpler solution to the spillage issue. Therefore, the innovation introduces a spill-proof container with a collar and seal assembly, allowing fluid consumption from any location along the rim.
