DRINKING CUP

A drink bottle 10 comprising a container 12 for containing a liquid and a removable lid 11. The lid 11 being removably connected to an open end of the container 12. A resiliently flexible drinking spout or straw assembly 14 being mounted in the lid 5 11 for extraction of liquid from within the container. An actuator 26 for actuating a function of the drink bottle 10, being slidably mounted to the lid for sliding movement between a home position and an actuation position. The actuator 26 having a push face 27 accessible from outside the lid 11 for receiving finger pressure for displacing the actuator 26 from the home position toward the 10 actuation position for performing a function of the drink bottle 10. The actuator 26 having a bearing surface 35 in bearing engagement with the spout or straw assembly 14 such that movement of the actuator 26 from the home position towards the actuation position resiliently deforms the spout or straw assembly 14 and by the resilient deformation the actuator 26 is biased towards the home 15 position.
