Abstract

A container lid assembly is provided with a press button opening capability. The lid assembly includes a lid having a first outlet opening and a second air opening. A valve member in the lid has a press button actuator and is moveable between a pushed down open position and a pulled up closed position. A biasing member biases the actuator to an extended closed position and the actuator is pressed against the bias of the biasing member. A lock assembly controls movement of the actuator such that one press of the actuator causes the actuator to adopt one of the open or closed positions and a second press of the actuator causes the actuator to adopt the other of the open or closed positions.
