Definitions

  • the present application relates to a travel mug and more particularly to a travel mug that is easy to clean.
  • Travel mugs are known and used by people who wish to drink a beverage while on the move, with the beverage being kept at its appropriate temperature, i.e. hot or cold. Many different types of travel mugs are known, some including buttons and/or levers located on the outside of the travel mug for opening and closing the lid portion of the mug.
  • the travel mugs include a cap or top portion that includes an opening that may be opened and closed by a user when they want to drink the beverage inside the mug.
  • These cap or top portions generally include fixed internal mechanisms that assist in the opening and closing of the opening on the mug. The inclusion of such internal mechanisms can provide for an intricate cap or top portion that may be difficult to clean.
  • Some travel mugs include a top opening that is only located on one side or one portion of the cap or top portion. Such a configuration may restrict a user in their ability to drink from the travel mug since the orientation of the mug must be correct to allow for the liquid to pour out of the opening and be received by the user's mouth.
  • the present invention provides a travel mug that is easy to disassemble and clean.
  • the present invention also provides a travel mug that may be filled from the top without the necessity of removing the top cap.
  • the present invention further provides a travel mug that includes a central button that allows a user to open and close the fluid path for the liquid using one hand.

  • the part of the peripheral wall 18 that extends above the button 20 forms a cavity, defined by the upper surface of the button 20 and the wall 18 , within which fluid can be received either for drinking by a user or for filling the main body 12 , described in further detail below.
  • the button 20 is dome shaped and fits within the cap portion 16 to substantially fill the diameter of the cap but without abutting the internal portion of the peripheral wall 18 of the cap portion 16 .
  • the size and placement of the button 20 within the cap portion 16 can be clearly seen in FIGS. 7 and 8 .
  • a channel is located around the periphery of the button 20 that will allow fluid to pass by the button and through and into the internal part of the cap portion 16 .
  • the ability of fluid to flow around any portion of the periphery of the button allows a user to be able to drink from any side of the travel mug 10 since fluid is not limited to a single path.
  • the dome shape of the button 20 in combination with the peripheral wall 18 allows a user to pour fluid into the cap portion 16 and on top of the button 20 to fill the travel mug 10 , when the plunger is in the open configuration, described further below.
  • the dome shape of the button 20 will assist the fluid in flowing towards the opening or channel that surrounds the button 20 and down through the cap portion 16 .
  • lower peripheral wall 24 which, in the illustrated embodiment, includes the threads 17 that allow cap portion 16 to be connected to the main body 12 .
  • the button 20 and the plunger 22 are connected in such a way that allows them to be moved simultaneously.
  • the button 20 and plunger 22 are configured to move between two positions, an open position, which allows liquid to flow through the cap portion 16 , illustrated in FIG. 8 , and a closed position which prevents liquid from flowing through the cap portion 16 , illustrated in FIG. 7 .
  • the plunger 22 In the closed position the plunger 22 abuts the bottom of the lower peripheral wall 24 and forms a seal with the bottom of the wall 24 , which may also be referred to as valve seat 25 .
  • the plunger 22 In the open position, the plunger 22 is lowered away from valve seat 25 and the lower peripheral wall 24 and liquid is able to flow around the plunger 22 and through the cap portion 16 , as indicated by arrow A in FIG. 8 .
  • the open and closed positions will be described in further detail below.
  • the connection of the button 20 to the plunger 22 may be any connection that allows for the plunger 22 to be removed from the button 20 by a user, i.e. a releasable connection.
  • the plunger 22 is connected to the button 20 through mating threads, located at the top part of the plunger and in the central portion of the button. This connection is illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 .
  • the threads on the button, indicated generally at 21 mate with corresponding threads 23 on the plunger 22 . It will be understood that other means of connection may be used that allow for the plunger 22 to be easily removed from the button 20 and cap portion 16 by a user. The easy removal of the plunger 22 allows for the user to thoroughly clean the cap portion 16 .
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the components of the travel mug that may be separated by a user for easy cleaning.
  • the plunger 22 includes a plunger seal 26 that fits around the lower portion of the plunger 22 .
  • the plunger seal 26 is made of a deformable material, such as silicone, and in use the plunger seal 26 connects with the lower peripheral wall 24 to form a seal when the cap portion 16 is in the closed configuration.
  • the cap portion 16 also includes a cap seal 28 , shown in FIG. 6 , that fits on the external surface of the cap portion at the point at which the lower and upper peripheral walls meet, seen clearly in FIGS. 7 and 8 .
  • the cap seal 28 is used to maintain a seal, and prevent liquid leaks, between the cap portion 16 and the main body 12 when the cap portion 16 is received on the main body 12 and the travel mug 10 is in use.
  • the cap portion 16 includes a button collar 30 that is located within the cap portion 16 .
  • Button collar 30 is connected to the cap portion 16 by arms 32 that extend outwardly from the bottom of the button collar 30 to the internal peripheral wall of the cap portion 16 .
  • the arms 32 are spaced around the button collar 30 and define apertures therebetween that allow fluid to pass between adjacent arms 32 .
  • the internal gear mechanism 34 Located within the button collar 30 is internal gear mechanism 34 that allows the button 20 and plunger 22 to move up and down between the open and closed positions.
  • the internal gear mechanism 34 includes an upper gear member 36 , a lower gear member 38 and a spring 40 .
  • the button 20 is connected to the top end of the internal gear mechanism 34 , and specifically to the upper gear member 36 .
  • the connection of the button 20 to the upper gear member 36 may be by any means that provides a secure fit between the two components.
  • the button 20 is connected to the upper gear member 36 using a snap fit.
  • the internal gear mechanism 34 operates between a closed position in which the plunger 22 engages the lower end of the peripheral wall 24 , and an open position in which the plunger 22 is displaced away from the lower end of the peripheral wall 24 and fluid is able to flow between the two components.
  • the internal gear mechanism 34 operates as per known gear mechanisms in the art. The following description of the internal gear mechanism 34 is provided as an example of the type of gear that may be used, however, it will be understood that the travel mug of the present invention is not limited to the use of the specific gear mechanism described below.
  • the lower gear member 38 of internal gear mechanism 34 includes a plurality of spaced apart upwardly projecting teeth 42 that are spaced around the periphery of the lower portion of the lower gear member 38 . Extending upwardly from the teeth 42 is cylindrical body portion 46 .
  • the upper gear member 36 also includes a cylindrical body portion 48 that is sized to be received on the cylindrical body portion 46 of the lower gear member 38 . Extending downwardly from cylindrical body 48 are downwardly projecting teeth 50 that are configured to engage the upwardly projecting teeth 42 on the lower gear member 38 .
  • the upper gear member 36 includes a plurality of spaced apart projections 44 located around the periphery of the lower end of the upper gear member 36 .
  • Spring 40 is positioned below the lower gear member 38 such that the lower gear member 38 is biased upwardly towards the upper gear member 36 .
  • the button collar 30 includes a series of spaced apart internal slots, partly shown in FIG. 6 at numeral 31 , that have alternating lengths, the shorter slots are not shown in the Figure. Each slot is sized to be able to receive the projections 44 of the upper gear member 38 and the upwardly projecting teeth 42 of the lower gear member 38 .
  • the lower gear member 38 is biased upwardly by the spring 40 .
  • downward motion, or pressure, on the upper gear member 36 through downward motion on the button by a user, translates to a downward force on the lower gear member 38 .
  • the teeth 50 of the upper gear member 36 connect with the teeth 42 of the lower gear member 38 which translates the downward motion to the lower gear member 38 pushing it downwards against the biasing force of the spring 40 .
  • the force and angle of the downwardly projecting teeth 50 on the upwardly projecting teeth 42 causes the lower gear member 38 to move downwards, releasing the teeth 50 from the slot in the button collar 30 , allowing for rotation of the lower gear member 38 .
  • Rotation of the lower gear member 38 will be restricted by the interaction of the downwardly projecting teeth 50 with the upwardly projecting teeth 42 as they fit together.
  • the spring 40 will force the lower gear member 38 upwardly and the upwardly extending teeth 42 will be received in the next slot on the button collar 30 .
  • the button 20 In use, in the closed position, the button 20 is in a raised position, as shown in FIG. 7 , and the plunger 22 engages the lower end, or valve seat 25 , of the lower peripheral wall 24 to form a seal with the valve seat 25 /lower end of wall 24 . In this position, fluid is not able to flow from the main body 12 through the cap portion 16 or vice versa.
  • the user presses down on the button 20 .
  • the downward movement of the button 20 translates via the internal gear mechanism 34 to a downward movement of the plunger 22 forcing the plunger away from the lower end of the wall 24 into the open position.
  • the plunger 22 is spaced from the lower end of the wall 24 and a passage is available for fluid to flow through the cap portion 16 , shown by arrow A in FIG. 8 .
  • the button is pressed again and the internal mechanism 34 translates the downward movement to close the cap and return the plunger 22 to the initial position in which it engages the valve seat 25 /lower end of the wall 24 .
  • the button 20 is dome shaped and extends across the diameter of the cap portion 16 . As seen in FIGS. 7 and 8 a space is maintained around the periphery of the button 20 so that fluid may flow past the button 20 . Therefore, when a user wishes to fill the travel mug, the button 20 is pressed to move the plunger 22 and disengage it from the lower end of the wall 24 to open up a channel through which fluid can flow. Once a fluid passage is opened the user can pour fluid into the top of the cap portion 16 .
  • the liquid flows off the surface of the button 20 downwards towards the peripheral channel and down through the cap portion 16 into the travel mug. Liquid can also be held in the cap portion 16 as it flows through into the travel mug since a cavity is defined by the peripheral wall 18 and the button 20 so excess fluid will not spill out of the travel mug while it is being filled.
  • FIG. 11 is an exploded perspective view 50 of cap 16 and plunger 22 in accordance with a further embodiment.
  • plunger 22 may be removably attached to button 20 (e.g. see FIG. 6 ).
  • Plunger 22 comprises a collar 52 defining a central channel 53 along longitudinal axis 54 .
  • Plunger 22 defines an aperture 55 in communication with the channel 53 .
  • a central post 60 extends from a bottom of cap 20 . When in place in the cap 16 , post 60 extends through gear mechanism 34 and button collar 30 .
  • button 20 comprises an interior threaded surface 21 to mate with exterior threaded surface 23 of plunger 22 .
  • post 60 of the button 20 has an exterior threaded surface 62 to mate with an interior threaded surface (not shown) of a nut 56 .
  • Collar 52 , channel 53 and aperture 5 5 define a fitting for receiving the post.
  • the fitting accepts post 60 through channel 53 such that surface 62 extends through aperture 55 to meet nut 56 .
  • Nut 56 may have a corrugated-like friction surface 58 to assist with rotating the nut on and off the post 60 .
  • the plunger may be easily removed for cleaning cap 16 .
  • collar 52 may comprise an interior threaded surface in channel 53 . Aperture 55 and nut 56 may not be required.
