Abstract

An apparatus may comprise a lid, a first passage, a second passage, and a diverter. The lid may comprise a first passage configured to align above a first chamber of a vessel. The lid may comprise a second passage configured to align above a second chamber of the vessel. The second chamber may be substantially concentric to the first chamber. The diverter may be movable between at least a first position and a second position. The first position may align at least one opening with the first passage. The second position may align the at least one opening with the second passage.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a) a lid comprising:
 i) a first passage configured to align above a first chamber of a vessel; and 
 ii) a second passage configured to align above a second chamber of the vessel, the second chamber being substantially concentric to the first chamber; and 
   b) a diverter movable between at least:
 i) a first position that aligns at least one opening with the first passage; and 
 ii) a second position that aligns the at least one opening with the second passage. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the diverter comprises a closed position that aligns the at least one opening with neither the first passage nor the second passage. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the diverter comprises a spout. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the vessel comprises struts configured to be attached to the first chamber. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid further comprises a connector configured to fasten the lid to the vessel. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one seal configured to separate the first chamber from the second chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the vessel comprises a handle. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one opening comprises a closing mechanism. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the diverter comprises a closing mechanism configured to seal the at least one opening. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the diverter is configured to connect to the lid at a pivot point. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid comprises:
 a) an outer lid portion; and   b) an inner lid portion.   
     
     
         12 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the inner lid portion is configured to face the vessel. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the outer lid portion is configured to face away from the vessel. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the diverter is substantially located between the outer lid face and the inner lid face. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first chamber comprises an insulating material. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the second chamber comprises a non-insulating material. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid is configured to connect to the vessel. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the diverter comprises a pathway configured to connect:
 a) the at least one opening; and   b) one of the first passage and the second passage.   
     
     
         19 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first chamber is configured to hold a first substance.
