Abstract

A tumbler (10) with vent shield (10, 34). A tumbler body (12) mounts a cover (14) to prevent spilling. The cover (14) includes a spout opening (22) and a vent opening (32). A spout cap (24) selectively closes the spout opening (22), and the spout cap (24) includes a frame (28) mounting a vent shield (10, 34) which overlies the vent opening (32). The upper surface of the cover (14) includes a funnel depression (36) to direct liquid flow toward the vent opening (32).
