摘要

A portable beverage container includes a base adapted to contain a liquid and a lid assembly that is removably coupled to the base. The lid assembly is reconfigurable between an open position, whereby a user can drink the liquid from the base at any portion along the circumference of the top of the lid assembly, and a closed position, whereby the liquid is substantially prevented from exiting the base, such that the lid assembly prevents accidental spilling or splashing.
