A device for preventing or minimizing spillage of liquid from an inverted container of liquid, and containers with such a device the device, in one embodiment, having a body for securement to the container, the body having a fluid channel therethrough through which the liquid can flow and a movable closure member which, if not held against the body, moves away from the fluid channel so that fluid flow is not impeded and which, if pressure is placed against it, is held against the body to prevent fluid flow. In one embodiment, an air vent is provided through the body to facilitate flow. Another embodiment provides a frangible cover for an opening of a container of liquid and a container with such a cover. Another embodiment provides a container with a closure adhesively attached sealingly across its opening, the cover secured in one area by adhesive so that it will separate from the container in that area upon the application of force to the cover permitting fluid flow from the container. Methods for using such items. In another aspect a device according to this invention includes a channel for receiving a straw or other similar item which, when the device is closed, prevents the straw from exiting from or rising in a container of liquid, but which, when the device is opened allows the straw to rise in the container for use by a person, and a container with such a device and with such a straw.

A device for controlling the flow of liquid from a container of the liquid, the container having a container opening therein from which liquid flows upon inverting the container, the device comprising a body member, a first channel extending through the body member from a top opening to a bottom opening therein, the body member having a portion through which an air channel extends, the air channel for facilitating the flow of liquid from the container, the body member securable to the container with its first channel in communication with the container opening so that liquid may flow from the container, through the bottom opening of the body member, through the first channel of the body member, and thence out through the top opening of the body member, and a lid hingedly connected to the body member, the lid having a first closure member and a second closure member, the first closure member for sealing the top opening, the first closure member preventing flow of the liquid while manual pressure is applied to the first closure member to hold it sealingly across the top opening, the first closure member movable when pressure ceases to be applied to it permitting the flow of liquid from the device, the second closure member for sealing off the air channel while manual pressure is applied to the second closure member holding it sealingly across the air channel, the second closure member movable when said manual pressure ceases to be applied to it permitting air to flow from the device, the first closure member having an extension for coacting with a snap recess on the body member to hold the first closure member in sealing contact over the top opening, coaction between the extension and the snap recess defeatable by pressing inwardly on the lid, thereby freeing the first closure member so that upon a cessation of said manual pressure on the first closure member flow from the device is permitted, and a top ridge member on the lid, the top ridge member on the lid contactable by a container cap to enhance maintenance of a seal between the lid and the body member.
