Past proposals for non-spill drinking containers have employed methods which force the user to adopt a drinking technique which is different to that used when drinking normally. This can cause inconvenience and embarrassment to the user. The invent ion employs a cup (1) having a spill protection cover (2), defining an outlet (2A) and a venting means (2B). Both outlet (2A) and venting means (2B) are of a size and positioned such that, when the cup (1) is tipped to a drinking position, liquid can flow out freely but will be prevented from escaping when the cup (1) is tipped beyond a drinking position. The cover (2) is received on the lower edge of a rim (3) which conceals the cover (2) and enables the user to drink from the cup (1) in a conventional manner. |
