1 to 6 , the flavor cup lid 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a lid body 110 and a confectionery hole 120 .

The lid body 110 is mounted at the mouth of the cup 200 so as to cover the mouth of the semi-permanent cup 200 such as a multi-use cup, for example, a mug. In addition, the confectionery hole 120 is formed in the lid body 110 , and the confectionery 1 can be disposed so that the confectionery can be heated with the heat of the beverage 10 contained in the cup 200 .

In other words, the confectionery hole 120 penetrates the lid body 110 to radiate the heat of the beverage 10 such as hot coffee or tea contained in the semi-permanent cup 200 to the outside. For reference, the Ministry of Environment uses the term “reusable cup” as the opposite concept to disposable cup.

The lid body 110 may be made of various materials such as wood (wood material) and ceramic materials such as ceramics, metal materials, synthetic resin materials, and glass materials. More specifically, the lid body 110 may be implemented as a configuration that does not change shape by external force, that is, a configuration having rigidity, and may be implemented as a multi-use cup lid, that is, a cup lid that can be used multiple times.

For example, a specific example of the thickness of the lid body 110 having rigidity may be made of a thickness of 0.5 cm or more, or may be made of a material having rigidity, for example, wood or ceramic material. In consideration of the risk of damage or burns, a material having low thermal conductivity, such as wood, may be applied as the material of the lid body 110 , but is not necessarily limited thereto, and the lid body may include a handle. And the above-mentioned synthetic resin material also includes a silicone material.

The edge of the lid body 110 may have a stepped shape to be seated on the inlet edge of the semi-permanent cup 200 . More specifically, the lid body 110 has a protrusion 111 fitted into the inlet of the semi-permanent cup 200 . And a step portion 112 is formed on the edge of the protrusion 111 .

And a sealing member 130 (a sealing member) for filling a gap between the inlet of the lid body 110 and the semi-permanent cup 200 may be provided around the protrusion 111 .

In this embodiment, the sealing member 130 has an annular structure surrounding the protrusion 111 , that is, a ring structure. In addition, the sealing member 130 may be made of a material having heat resistance and surface elasticity, for example, a silicon material.

The lid body 110 may be mounted on the semi-permanent cup non-constraint so as to be naturally detachable from the semi-permanent cup by the weight of the cup lid in a state in which the semi-permanent cup 200 is turned over. That is, the cup lid 100 is not firmly fixed to the mouth of the cup like a disposable cup lid, but may be implemented in a structure that is placed on the entrance of the semi-permanent cup so that it can be easily separated, and the user can easily remove the cup lid. can be opened and closed.

The rim 121 of the confectionery hole 120 may be formed in an annular shape such as a circle or an oval, but is not limited thereto and may have an rim outline of various shapes such as a polygonal shape, a star shape, or various character shapes. And to prevent the confectionery disposed on the cup lid from sliding or rolling, the confectionery hole 120 is formed to have a predetermined size or more. For example, the confectionery hole 120 may have a size that can fit less than 1/2 of a walnut cookie, more specifically, a size that can fit about 1/4 to 1/2 of a round walnut cookie.

As a more specific example, the confectionery hole 120 may be formed in an annular structure having a narrowest portion of 1.5 cm to 4 cm, particularly 1.5 cm to 3.5 cm, or a polygonal shape, for example, a square shape. In this embodiment, the confectionery hole 120 is formed in the central portion of the lid body 110 , but the location is not limited thereto. may be formed as

When the confectionery hole 120 has a round shape suitable for a round confectionary, for example, a walnut confectionery, the outer surface of the walnut confectionery is in close contact with the rim of the confectionery hole 120 as a whole, and the flavor and steam of the beverage do not leak and walnuts Can focus on sweets. And a step may be formed on the upper edge of the lid body 110 .

This embodiment is a cup lid having a confectionery hole that is always open, and the above-described cup lid 100 is a multi-use cup containing a hot beverage such as coffee, more specifically, a semi-permanent cup called a mug ( 200), and when a confectionery, for example, a round walnut confectionery 1 is disposed in the confectionery hole 120 of the cup lid, a person (user) who wants to drink coffee takes approximately 1 to 5 minutes. You can enjoy warm and moist cookies with the aroma of coffee as it is heated by the evaporated moisture of the coffee within time, and you can drink coffee that has been cooled to a suitable temperature while the walnut cookies are warming up, so you can enjoy the flavor of coffee and sweets together. .

In addition, while the walnut cookie 1 is heated by the coffee aroma and moisture (steam) emitted from the hot coffee, a time for conversation, that is, a time for communication, can be given between people, and even when drinking alone, the hot coffee You can enjoy psychological stability and leisure, organize your thoughts or have time to contemplate, and as a result of having a brief leisure time while waiting while the walnut cookie absorbs the aroma and moisture of the coffee, the coffee reaches a suitable temperature for drinking. Therefore, the risk of burns due to hot coffee can be avoided. In the case of coffee, the initial temperature is usually provided as hot as about 97 ° C, and it is known that the most delicious state is at a temperature of about 75 to 76 ° C, more specifically, about 75.9 ° C. Heat the walnut cookies so that you can enjoy the flavor of coffee and walnut cookies together. And since the temperature of the walnut cookie made instantly by the walnut cookie machine is very hot at about 147°C, you can put it on the cup lid according to the present invention and wait for the temperature to be reduced to enjoy the walnut cookie with the aroma of coffee.

Next, another embodiment (second embodiment) of the cup lid according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10 . Of the drawings for explaining the second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of a cup lid according to the present invention, FIG. 8 is a plan view of the cup lid shown in FIG. 6 , and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 6 , and FIG. 10 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which walnut cookies are disposed on the cup lid shown in FIG. 7 .
