Partitioned drinking cup

Claim 1

A partitioned personal drinking cup for simultaneously dispensing two different beverages to first and second persons without co-mingling comprising: an open top container; a partitioned wall dividing said container into a first drinking compartment for containing a first drink, and a second drinking compartment for containing a second drink; a removable lid fitted over said open top of said container; a first personal drink dispensing opening formed in a first part of said removable lid near a rim of said lid, and a second personal dispensing opening formed in a second part of said drinking lid near said rim of said lid; said first and second dispensing openings being formed in said lid so that said first dispensing opening overlies said first drinking compartment in a centralized location and said second dispensing opening overlies said second drinking compartment in a centralized location when fitted over said open top of said container so that said first drink may be consumed directly by a first person and said second drink may be consumed directly by a second person; and seal means for forming a seal between said lid and an upper edge of said partition to prevent liquids from mixing between said first and second drinking compartments which includes a first part carried by said lid and a second part carried by said partition wall, and said first part and said second parts interfit together to provide an alignment means which prevents rotational motion between said lid and said cup so that said lid is secured over said open top of said cup in a correct position properly aligning said first and second dispensing openings over said first and second drinking compartments; a first handle to be held by said first person while drinking from said first compartment of said cup, and a second handle held by said second person while drinking from said second drinking compartment of said cup; and said first dispensing opening being associated with said first handle and said second dispensing opening being associated with said second handle whereby placement of said lid on said cup may be had in a proper position by referencing said first and second dispensing openings to said first and second handles facilitating proper placement of said seal means and said alignment means and centralized location of said dispensing openings relative to said drinking compartments.
