If the direction of the discharge groove does not become dischargeable, the contents of the container are not discharged smoothly, and this is also configured to open and close the container by turning the lid. In the separation, the coupling operation was very inconvenient, and since the lid is used in a state in which the lid is detached, there is a problem such that the contents are not kept warm as well as the contents are leaked when the lid is not combined.

본 고안은 상기와 같은 종래의 불편함과 제반 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출된 것으로 배출구를 가진 뚜껑체를 액체용기의 상부에 형성된 개구부에 설치하고, 상기 개구부에 설치되는 ㄱ에는 액체의 배출을 제어하는 마개와 이를 개폐시키는 액체인출용 버튼을 설치하여 간편한 동작으로 액체의 배출통로를 개폐시키도록 하며 이로써 불필요한 액체의 유출없이 액체용기 내의 내용물을 용이하게 인출할 수 있도록 하는 액체용기용 뚜껑을 제공하려는 것이다.The present invention is designed to solve the conventional inconveniences and problems as described above to install a lid having an outlet in the opening formed in the upper portion of the liquid container, the a is installed in the opening to control the discharge of the liquid By installing a stopper and a liquid withdrawal button to open and close it, the liquid passage can be easily opened and closed with a simple operation, thereby providing a lid for a liquid container so that the contents in the liquid container can be easily withdrawn without unnecessary liquid leakage. .
