Abstract

A container including a vessel, a top plate, a first hole, and one or more second holes is provided. The vessel is for storing liquid, and includes open top and closed bottom portions. The first hole on the top plate has a first open state and a second close state, and the first hole allows the liquid to flow through the first hole in the first open state. Each of the second holes on the top plate includes a first open state and a second close state. When at least one of the second holes in the first open state allows air traffics between inside and outside. At least one of the second holes allows air flow through the second hole so as to equalize air pressure of the inside and outside of the container when the liquid flows through the first hole.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A container for storing and suckling liquid comprising:
 a vessel configured to store liquid, the vessel portion comprising an open top portion and a closed bottom portion;   a top plate configured to close and seal the open top portion of the vessel;   a first hole provided on the top plate, wherein the first hole comprises a first open state and a second close state, and wherein the first hole is configured to allow the liquid to flow through the first hole in the first open state, and wherein the first hole is configured to keep the liquid from leaking through the first hole in the second close state; and   one or more second holes provided on the top plate, each of the one or more holes comprises a first open state and a second close state, wherein when at least one of the one more second holes is in the first open state the opened second hole is configured to allow air traffics between inside and outside of the container, and wherein when all of the one or more second holes are in the second close state the second holes block flowing of the air through the second holes,   wherein at least one of the one or more second holes allows air flow through the second hole so as to equalize air pressure of the inside and outside of the container when the liquid flows through the first hole.   
   
   
       2 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the top plate is integrated with the vessel. 
   
   
       3 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the first hole is covered by a pokable membrane. 
   
   
       4 . The container of  claim 3 , wherein the pokable membrane is configured to be broken by poking with a straw, and wherein the size of the first hole is determined by the size of the straw. 
   
   
       5 . The container of  claim 3 , wherein the first hole is substantially circular in cross-section. 
   
   
       6 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more second holes is covered by a pokable membrane, and wherein the pokable membrane is configured to be broken by poking with a straw. 
   
   
       7 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the size of the second hole is smaller than the size of the first hole. 
   
   
       8 . The container of  claim 7 , wherein the second hole is small enough to keep the liquid from flowing with surface tension of the liquid at the second hole. 
   
   
       9 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more second holes is blocked with a plug. 
   
   
       10 . The container of  claim 9 , wherein the plug is connected to the top plate. 
   
   
       11 . The container of  claim 9 , wherein the plug is configured to close the second hole when pushed in and open when plucked out. 
   
   
       12 . The container of  claim 11 , wherein the plug comprises a head and a stem extended from the head, and wherein the stem comprises a leaking hole leading from a bottom of the stem to a side wall of the stem such that the leaking hole is exposed and opens to the outside when plucked out by a predetermined length. 
   
   
       13 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the second hole is blocked by a sticky membrane, and wherein the sticky membrane is configured to be opened and closed repeatedly. 
   
   
       14 . The container of  claim 13 , wherein an edge of the sticky membrane is fixed to the top plate.
