Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2432361A] The invention employs a cup (1) having a spill protection cover (2), defining an outlet (2A) and a venting means (2B). Both outlet (2A) and venting means (2B) are of a size and positioned such that, when the cup (1) is tipped to a drinking position, liquid can flow out freely but will be prevented by surface tension when the cup is tipped beyond a drinking position. The cover (2) is received on the lower edge of a rim (3) which conceals the cover (2) and enables the user to drink from the cup (1) in a conventional manner. The venting means may be provided by on or more holes which may be flared.
