360 Degree Non Spill Cup

The design is for a drink cup that can be held upside down or shaken - all while keeping the liquid inside - and yet you can drink from it easily - just like an open cup.

All of this while not looking like it’s been designed for babies - remembering that current no-spill cups tend to have a nib on them and are designed for babies and toddlers.

The idea came from looking at dry storage containers currently available for things like flour, coffee, sugar - and applying it to liquids.

This may seem a really stupid question but how does the water come out? (i.e when you want a drink)

Hi guys,

yes, sorry, should have explained that one better!
The water comes out along the rim of the cup. Essentially a silicon gasket sits on the ridge of the rim preventing liquid from coming out. however a sucking action will lift the silicon and therefore release the liquid!
I hope this helps.

Best, Max
