摘要

A vented drinking vessel in the style of a racecar fueling tank of the types used at pit stops during NASCAR(R) races. The vented drinking vessel includes a vent tube or solid handle that looks similar to the vent tube of a racecar fueling tank. The vented container also includes a curved straw similar to the exit pipe on a racecar fueling tank, which the user may drink from in the usual manner. To prevent spilling, the vented drinking vessel may include one or more valves, such as a one-way valve removable located within the vent tube and/or a check valve removable located within the curved straw, typically at the end of the straw. The vessel may include an internal straw that extends from the bottom of the curved straw into the container.
