Non-spill drinking container assembly

1. A drinking container assembly, comprising:

a container having an upper portion and a lower portion;

a collar removably attached to the upper portion of the container;

a seal removably attached to the collar that covers a contour of an upper surface of the collar; and

an upwardly facing projection having a concentric shoulder and disposed in a bottom surface of the collar that mates with a downwardly facing complementary recess disposed in a lower surface of the seal, wherein a concentric flange extends inwardly at the recess to seal and lock with the concentric shoulder to attach the seal to the collar.

2. The drinking container assembly of claim 1 , wherein the collar has a lower end having a first diameter and an upper end adjacent to a rim having a second diameter.

3. The drinking container assembly of claim 2 , wherein the second diameter is larger than the first diameter.

4. The drinking container assembly of claim 3 , wherein an outer surface of the collar flares upwardly and outward from the first diameter of the lower end to the second diameter of the upper end.

5. The drinking container assembly of claim 2 , wherein the collar includes a concentric inner surface descending from the rim to a radial ledge that descends along an angled intermediate wall to a lower wall.

6. The drinking container assembly of claim 5 , wherein the projection is disposed substantially at a midpoint of the lower wall.

7. The drinking container assembly of claim 6 , wherein the projection is received by an interior cavity disposed in the seal to attach the seal to the collar.

8. The drinking container assembly of claim 7 , further comprising at least one row of apertures disposed concentrically on at least the surface of the radial ledge, the intermediate wall or the lower wall.

9. The drinking container assembly of claim 1 , wherein the area surrounding the recess of the seal is thickened in a raised portion having a concentric flange to rigidly receive and lock the projection in place.

10. The drinking container assembly of claim 9 , further comprising a gripping feature disposed on the uppermost peripheral end of the raised portion for applying a pulling force to detach the seal from the collar.

11. The drinking container assembly of claim 1 , wherein the contour of the upper surface is substantially frustoconical.

12. The drinking container assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of raised protrusions and adjacent gaps disposed on the upper surface of the collar that channel a fluid from inside the container.

13. The drinking container assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a resilient sealing ring disposed between the upper portion of the container and the collar.

14. The drinking container assembly of claim 13 , further comprising a one-way air valve aperture disposed on the seal.

15. A drinking container assembly, comprising:

a container body having an open upper portion and a closed lower portion;

a collar removably attached to the container comprising:

an upper surface having a substantially frustoconical shape;

a bottom surface;

a rim disposed at a peripheral edge of the upper surface; and

at least one row of apertures in fluid communication with the inside of the container;

a seal removably attached to the collar; and

an upwardly facing projection having a concentric shoulder and disposed in a bottom surface of the collar that mates with a downwardly facing complementary recess disposed in a lower surface of the seal, wherein a concentric flange extends inwardly at the recess to seal and lock with the concentric shoulder to attach the seal to the collar;

wherein the seal has a bottom portion which covers and has a shape that is substantially similar to the upper surface of the collar.

16. The drinking container assembly of claim 15 , further comprising at least one handle attached to the collar or the container body.

17. A drinking container assembly, comprising:

a container having an upper portion and a lower portion;

a collar removably attached to the upper portion of the container comprising:

an upper surface having a frustoconical contour;

a bottom surface;

a rim disposed on a peripheral edge of the upper surface;

a seal that attaches to the upper surface of the collar; and

an upwardly facing projection having a concentric shoulder and disposed in a bottom surface of the collar that mates with a downwardly facing complementary recess disposed in a lower surface of the seal, wherein a concentric flange extends inwardly at the recess to seal and lock with the concentric shoulder to attach the seal to the collar;

wherein the seal has a bottom portion which covers and has a shape that substantially mirrors the upper surface of the collar.

18. The drinking container assembly of claim 17 , wherein the application of a suction force by a user from any location on the rim draws a fluid from within the container and past the seal.
