An improved beverage container for preventing spills comprising a walled vessel, into which is formed a hingable tab. The tab can obtain closed, narrow-opened, and wide-opened positions through a tab pressing element pivotably mounted on the container. In the opened positions, the tab defines an aperture through which the beverage can flow. One end of a compliant flap is mounted on the inside of the container such that the other end, in a preferred primary position, completely covers the aperture, thereby preventing the beverage from flowing through the aperture. The flap obtains a secondary position when the tab is set in a narrow-open position and thereby forcing the flap away from the aperture, allowing fluid to flow therethrough. A person\s upper lip may also press the flap away from the aperture during the process of drinking from the vesseel, thereby permitting the beverage to flow through the aperture. Should the flap be in the primary position, blocking beverage flow through the aperture, and the container inadvertently tipped onto its side, the beverage will not flow through the aperture.

A beverage container for preventing spills, comprising: a vessel having walls for containing a liquid for drinking, said walls having at least one portion for supporting means for opening said container; a hingable tab forming a part of said one portion, the tab being positionable in at least three alternate positions, namely, a closed positioncontiguous with the walls for sealing said vessel, a tab narrow open position, and atab wide open position, wherein, both of said open positions of said tab define an aperture in said one portion, the tab being partly separated from the one portion; a means for pressing the tab for forcing said tab to assume the tab narrow open or tab wide open position; and a compliant flap, one end of said flap being mounted on the inside surface of said one portion, the flap being positionable in at least two alternate positions, namely, a primary position wherein the flap is in contact with the aperture when the tab is in either the closed position or the wide open position, and a secondary position wherein the flap is not in contact with the aperture, the flap being forced away from the aperture by the tab having assumed the tab narrow open position, whereby with the flap in the secondary position the container may be most easily drained through the aperture, and with the flap in the primary position the liquid is prevented from spilling out of the aperture since the flap blocks direct access of the liquid to the aperture except when the flap is pressed inwardly, thereby forcing the flap away from the aperture and allowing the liquid to flow around the flap to exit the vessel via the aperture.
