A drink bottle with a removable lid includes an inner lid attached to the mouth of the bottle and an outer lid pivotably mounted on the inner lid. A drink spout extends from the inner lid. The outer lid may be locked into a closed position covering the drink spout. A push button on the inner lid can be operated to release the locked outer lid, permitting the outer lid to open to permit drinking from the drink spout. The push button moves a lid slide that extends opposite to the hinge and contains an extension that engages with a notch in the upper lid to hold the upper lid closed. On actuating the push button, the lid slide is pulled toward the push button and the extension at the other end of the lid slide moves out of engagement of the outer lid, thereby opening the outer lid.

1. A drink bottle and lid, comprising: a bottle having a mouth with a lid engaging structure;a removable lid having a cooperating engaging structure for selective engagement with the lid engaging structure of the bottle;the removable lid including an inner lid and an outer lid, the inner lid including the cooperating engaging structure, the inner lid defining a spout opening, the inner lid including a first hinge portion;the outer lid including a catch notch and a second hinge portion for pivoting engagement with said first hinge portion so that said outer lid is pivotable relative to said inner lid between an open position and a closed position;a push button having a pivot such that actuating one end of the push button radially inward towards a center line of the bottle causes a second end of the push button to move radially away from the center line of the bottle;a lid slide moveable between an outer lid-locking position and an outer lid-releasing position, the lid slide having one end coupled to the second end of the push button through a push button opening and a second end having a catch extension for engagement with the catch notch of the outer lid;a biasing element coupled between the lid slide and inner lid to bias the lid slide into the lid-locking position, wherein actuating the push button causes the lid slide to move to the lid-releasing position in opposition to a biasing action of the biasing element; anda drink spout mounted in said spout opening of said inner lid, said drink spout extending from said inner lid at a position to permit a user to drink fluid contained within the bottle from the drinking tube when said outer lid is in the open position, said outer lid covering said drink spout when said outer lid is in said closed position; anda second biasing element coupled between the inner lid and the outer lid to bias the outer lid into the open position. 2. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second biasing element is an O-ring. 3. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 1, wherein the biasing element is a silicone spring that stretches when the lid slide is moved from the lid-locking position to the lid-releasing position. 4. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 1, wherein the drink spout passes through a spout clearance opening in the lid slide. 5. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a handle coupled to the inner lid. 6. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a drinking tube bending flange on an interior face of the outer lid; anda drinking tube center ridge on the inner lid, wherein when the outer lid is in the closed position, the bending flange and center ridge cooperate to substantially seal the drinking tube. 7. A drink bottle and lid, comprising: a bottle with a mouth;a removable lid attached to the bottle over the mouth, the removable lid having, an outer lid with a catch notch on a circumferential edge,an inner lid with an upper inner lid cover and a lower inner lid cover, with the inner lid being pivotally coupled to the outer lid at a location opposite the catch notch,a drinking tube passing through the upper and lower inner lid covers,a push button pivotally connected to the inner lid between an upper end and lower end of the push button,a lid slide coupled to the upper end of the push button and located between the upper and lower inner lid covers, the lid slide extending substantially across the diameter of the upper and lower inner lid covers and terminating in a catch extension such that when the outer lid is closed over the inner lid, the catch extension engages the catch notch to keep the outer lid closed over the inner lid,a slide biasing element coupled between the inner lid and either the lid slide or push button that biases the lid slide outwardly in the direction of the catch extension, wherein actuating the lower end of the push button causes the upper end of the push button to move the lid slide against the biasing of the slide biasing element and disengages the catch extension from the catch notch; anda lid biasing element extending between the outer lid and inner lid at a location proximate to the ends of the pivotal couple between the outer and inner lids to bias the outer lid into the open position. 8. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 7, wherein said lid biasing element is an O-ring. 9. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 7, wherein the biasing element is a silicone spring. 10. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 7, wherein the drink spout passes through a spout clearance opening in the lid slide. 11. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 7, further comprising: a handle coupled to the inner lid. 12. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 7, further comprising: a drinking tube bending flange on an interior face of the outer lid; anda drinking tube center ridge on the inner lid, wherein when the outer lid is in the closed position, the bending flange and center ridge cooperate to substantially seal the drinking tube. 13. A drink bottle and lid, comprising: a bottle having a mouth with a lid engaging structure;a removable lid having a cooperating engaging structure for selective engagement with the lid engaging structure of said bottle;said removable lid including an inner lid and an outer lid, said inner lid including said cooperating engaging structure for engagement with said bottle, said inner lid and said outer lid being selectively securable to one another in a closed position, said inner lid defining a spout opening;a drink spout mounted in said spout opening of said inner lid, said drink spout extending from said inner lid at a position to permit a user to drink fluid contained within the bottle from the drinking tube when said outer lid is in an open position, said outer lid covering said drink spout when said outer lid is in said closed position;said inner lid including a first hinge portion, said outer lid including a second hinge portion for pivoting engagement with said first hinge portion so that said outer lid is pivotable relative to said inner lid between said open position and said closed position; anda retractable outer lid locking mechanism located within an upper and lower inner lid cover;the retractable outer lid locking mechanism actuatable by a push button coupled to a proximal end of a lid slide with a locking feature located on a distal end of the lid slide, the locking feature being biased by a biasing element in a direction towards the distal end of the lid slide,wherein in the locked position the locking feature engages a mating locking feature of the upper lid to keep the lid closed and the lid slide being actuable by the push button to move towards the proximate end of the lid slide against the biasing of the biasing element to disengage the locking feature from the mating locking feature. 14. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 13, further comprising: a lid biasing element coupled between the inner lid and the outer lid and extending radially outward on each side of a pin that couples the first and second hinge portions, where the lid biasing element biases the outer lid into the open position. 15. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 13, wherein the biasing element is a silicone spring that increases bias when the lid slide is moved from the lid-locking position to the lid-releasing position. 16. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 13, wherein the drink spout passes through a spout clearance opening in the lid slide. 17. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 13, further comprising: a handle coupled to the inner lid. 18. A drink bottle and lid as claimed in claim 13, further comprising: a drinking tube bending flange on an interior face of the outer lid; anda drinking tube center ridge on the inner lid, wherein when the outer lid is in the closed position, the bending flange and center ridge cooperate to substantially seal the drinking tube.
