A lid assembly for a beverage container having a lid housing, a seal assembly and a trigger member. The seal assembly has a drink seal to close the drink aperture. The seal assembly is rotatedly connected to the lid housing and movable between a use position and a cleaning position to allow the drink aperture to be open for cleaning. The trigger member is connected to the lid housing and is capable of engaging the seal assembly in the use position, but it cannot engage the seal assembly in the cleaning position. Additionally, a trigger lock is connected to the lid housing to prevent engagement of the seal assembly by the trigger member when the trigger lock is locked. The trigger lock may also contain a visual indicator to indicate that the lock is in the locked position.

1. A lid assembly for a beverage container comprising: a lid housing;a seal assembly connected to the lid housing and having a seal arm and a drink seal to close a drink opening in the lid housing;a trigger assembly connected to the lid housing to operate the seal assembly, the trigger assembly having a trigger member that engages the seal arm; and,a trigger lock adjacent a side of the lid housing, the trigger lock moveable from a first position to a second position, wherein the trigger lock engages the trigger member in the first position to prevent the trigger member from moving the seal arm, and wherein the trigger lock does not prevent the trigger member from moving the seal arm in the second position,wherein the trigger member has a cutout and the trigger lock has a stopper, the stopper being received in the cutout when the trigger lock is in the first position, and the stopper being positioned outside of the cutout when the trigger lock is in the second position. 2. The lid assembly of claim 1, wherein the lid housing has a first aperture at one side of the housing and a second aperture at an opposing side of the housing, and wherein the trigger lock comprises a locking shaft that partially extends out of the second aperture when the trigger lock is in the first position, and partially extends out of the first aperture when the trigger lock is in the second position. 3. The lid assembly of claim 2, wherein the stopper is connected to the locking shaft. 4. The lid assembly of claim 1, wherein the trigger lock comprises a locking shaft and the stopper is connected to the locking shaft. 5. The lid assembly of claim 1, further comprising a detent to alternately maintain the trigger lock in the first position and in the second position until a sufficient force is applied to the trigger lock to overcome a resistance of the detent. 6. The lid assembly of claim 1, further comprising a leaf spring to alternately maintain the trigger lock in the first position and in the second position until a sufficient force is applied to the trigger lock to overcome a resistance of the leaf spring. 7. The lid assembly of claim 1, wherein the trigger lock contains a visual indicator to indicate that the trigger lock is in the first position. 8. A lid assembly for a beverage container comprising: a lid housing having a first aperture at one side of the housing and a second aperture at an opposing side of the housing;a trigger member connected to the lid housing to operate a drink seal to close a drink opening in the lid housing; and,a trigger lock moveable from a first locked position to a second unlocked position, wherein the trigger lock engages the trigger member in the first locked position to prevent the trigger member from operating the drink seal to open the drink opening, and wherein the trigger lock does not prevent the trigger member from moving the seal arm in the second unlocked position, a portion of the trigger lock partially extending out of the second aperture when the trigger lock is in the first locked position, and a portion of the trigger lock partially extending out of the first aperture when the trigger lock is in the second unlocked position. 9. The lid assembly of claim 8, further comprising a seal assembly connected to the lid housing, the seal assembly having a seal arm and the drink seal being connected to the seal arm. 10. The lid assembly of claim 8, wherein the trigger lock comprises a locking shaft that extends from the first aperture in the housing to the second aperture in the housing. 11. The lid assembly of claim 10, further comprising a stopper connected to the locking shaft, the stopper engaging the trigger member when the trigger lock is in the first locked position. 12. The lid assembly of claim 8, wherein the trigger member has a cutout for receiving the trigger lock. 13. The lid assembly of claim 12, wherein the trigger lock comprises a locking shaft and a stopper connected to the locking shaft, the stopper being received in the cutout when the trigger lock is in the first position. 14. The lid assembly of claim 8, further comprising a leaf spring to alternately maintain the trigger lock in the first position and in the second position until a sufficient force is applied to the trigger lock to overcome a resistance of the leaf spring. 15. The lid assembly of claim 8, wherein the trigger member moves radially inward in the lid housing and transverse to a longitudinal axis of the beverage container. 16. The lid assembly of claim 8, wherein the seal assembly is pivotally connected to the lid housing and movable between a first or operable position where the drink seal of the seal assembly engages the drink opening to close the drink opening, and a second or cleaning position where the seal assembly is rotated away from a drink surface of the lid housing and where the drink opening is open for cleaning the lid assembly. 17. A lid assembly for a drinking container comprising: a lid housing having a drink opening;a seal assembly pivotally connected to the lid housing and movable between a first or operable position, wherein a drink seal of the seal assembly engages a drink opening to close the drink opening, and a second or cleaning position, wherein the seal assembly is rotated away from a drink surface of the lid housing and wherein the drink opening is open for cleaning the lid assembly;a trigger assembly connected to the lid housing to operate the seal assembly, the trigger assembly having a trigger member that engages the seal assembly; and,a trigger lock extending from the lid housing, the trigger lock moveable from a first locked position to a second unlocked position, wherein the trigger lock engages the trigger member in the first locked position to prevent the trigger member from moving the seal arm, and wherein the trigger lock does not prevent the trigger member from moving the seal arm in the second unlocked position,wherein the lid housing has a first aperture at one side of the housing and a second aperture at an opposing side of the housing, wherein the trigger lock comprises a locking shaft that extends from the first aperture in the housing to the second aperture in the housing, and wherein the trigger member has a cutout to receive a portion of the trigger lock to prevent the trigger member from operating the seal assembly when the trigger lock is moved to the first locked position. 18. A lid assembly for a beverage container comprising: a lid housing;a seal assembly connected to the lid housing and having a seal arm and a drink seal to close a drink opening in the lid housing;a trigger assembly connected to the lid housing to operate the seal assembly, the trigger assembly having a trigger member that engages the seal arm;a trigger lock adjacent a side of the lid housing, the trigger lock moveable from a first position to a second position, wherein the trigger lock engages the trigger member in the first position to prevent the trigger member from moving the seal arm, and wherein the trigger lock does not prevent the trigger member from moving the seal arm in the second position; anda leaf spring to alternately maintain the trigger lock in the first position and in the second position until a sufficient force is applied to the trigger lock to overcome a resistance of the leaf spring.
