Abstract:

A beverage container includes a lid assembly having a chamber for storing and subsequently releasing a component of a mixture into a liquid stored within the container. The lid assembly includes an upper housing attached to a lower housing. The upper housing includes a button movable between a locked position and a released position. The upper housing also includes a spout that provides access to the contents of the container. A disk snaps into a snap groove within the lower housing and includes the chamber for storing one component of the mixture separate from liquid within the container. The chamber is initially placed in a storage position where contents of the chamber are isolated from the container. Aligning the chamber with an inlet in the lower housing to the container provides for the component mixture to fall freely into the liquid within the container.
