lid 10 has alid body 12 including askirt portion 14. Thelid body 12 has astraw opening 16 provided at a central portion of thelid body 12, as shown in the drawings, or at any other suitable position. Adrinking straw 18 extends through the straw opening 16 of thelid body 12. - The
lid 10 may be made of plastic or other suitable material. Thestraw 18 may be made of silicone, thermoplastic elastomer, or other flexible materials, and possesses resilience characteristic. Thestraw opening 16 may be circular in shape and is dimensioned to permit thestraw 18 of circular cross section to snugly and sealingly fitted therethrough. - The
lid 10 has acover 20 adapted to flip over the opening 16. Thecover 20 has aproximal end 22, adistal end 24, and two oppositelateral sides proximal end 22 of thecover 20 is adapted to abut against thelid body 12. - According to the illustrated embodiment, the
proximal end 22 of thecover 20 may include aprojection 30 having a generally tail-shaped cross section, and two generally horn-shaped projections 32, as depicted inFIG. 3 . - The
projection 30 is configured to abut against arecess 40 provided on thelid body 12 at one side of the opening 16. The surfaces of theprojection 30 and therecess 40 defineabutment 50 along which thecover 20 flips between an opening position as shown inFIG. 4 a and an intermediate position as shown inFIG. 4 b. - The two
projections 32 are configured to abut against tworecesses 42 provided on thelid body 12 at two opposite sides of theopening 16 respectively. The surfaces of the twoprojections 32 andrespective recesses 42 define twoabutments 52 along which thecover 20 flips between the intermediate position as shown inFIG. 4 b and a closed position as shown inFIG. 4 d.FIG. 3 c shows thecover 20 in an opening/closing position. - The
projections recesses projections respective recesses cover 20 is flipping between the open position and the closed positions. - As used herein, the term “abut” means that the
projections respective recesses - Although it has been described that projections are provided on the cover and recesses are provided on the lid body, it is contemplated that the arrangement can be reversed, i.e. projections can be formed on the lid body and recesses can be formed on the lid body.
- The
lid body 12 includes a firstengaging portion 70, and the cover includes a secondengaging portion 60. The secondengaging portion 60 is slidably engaged with the firstengaging portion 70. The firstengaging portion 70 can be a sliding channel, and the secondengaging portion 60 can be a guiding member. The firstengaging portion 70 can be arcuate. According to the illustrated embodiment, the second engaging portion may be in the form of twoguide rods 60 provided on the two oppositelateral sides 26 of thecover 20, respectively, and the first engaging portion of thelid body 12 may be in the form of two oppositely facingarcuate grooves 70 provided on twooppositely facing walls 72 extending from thelid body 12 for receiving the twoguide rods 60, respectively. In another embodiment, the first engaging portion of thelid body 12 may be in the form of two opposite elongated guide projections provided on twooppositely facing walls 72 extending from thelid body 12, and the second engaging portion may be in the form of two notches or indentations provided on the two oppositelateral sides 26 of thecover 20, respectively. The two notches or indentations are adapted to receive a portion of the two elongated guide projections, respectively. - The two oppositely facing
walls 72, the part of thelid body 12 extending between the two oppositely facingwalls 72, and thecover 20, when closed, define acompartment 90 for storing the part of thestraw 18 bent underneath thecover 20. - The construction of the
lid 10 renders the twoarcuate grooves 70 and hence the two oppositely facingwalls 72 to have a shallow curvature. This gives the lid 10 a relatively low profile, as compared to conventional high-profile dome-shaped lid. - Although it has been shown and described that there are two sets of
projections abutments cover 20 flips, it is understood by one skilled in the art that there may be only one set of projections and recesses to define only one abutment along which thecover 20 flips between the open and the closed positions. - The
distal end 24 of thecover 20 may be provided with alocking mechanism cover 20 onto thelid body 12 in the closed position, as shown inFIGS. 4 d and 5 d. - According to the illustrated embodiment, the locking mechanism may include a
recess 80 formed at thedistal end 24 of thecover 20, and aprotrusion 82 formed on theskirt portion 14 of thelid body 12. Thedistal end 24 of thecover 20 is adapted to deflect outwards when it is pressed against thelid body 12 such that therecess 80 rides over theprotrusion 82 thereby snapping and holding thecover 20 onto thelid body 12 in the closed position. - The
lid 10 may further include anair balancing valve 92 provided on avalve seat 94 of thelid body 12. Theair balancing valve 92 may be located underneath thestraw 18 when it is bent underneath thecover 20 as shown inFIG. 5 d. Theair balancing valve 92 allows air to enter the beverage container when the beverage is sucked from the beverage container through thestraw 18. - The
air balancing valve 92 may also be made of silicone, thermoplastic elastomer, or other flexible materials, and may be formed integrally with thestraw 18. - The
straw 18 may have a lower flaredend 96 disposed at the underside of thelid body 12, as best illustrated inFIG. 2 , to facilitate the insertion of a straw extension (not shown) adapted to extend into the beverage container. -
FIGS. 5 a-5 d are cross sectional views of thelid 10, which show the flipping action of thecover 20 from an open position to a closed position and the bending of thestraw 18 by the flippingcover 20. -
FIG. 5 a shows thelid 10 with thecover 20 in an open position. In this open position, thecover 20 is flipped towards one side of theopening 16 allowing thestraw 18 to extend freely upwards from theopening 16. -
FIG. 5 b shows thelid 10 with thecover 20 in an intermediate position. Thecover 20 is flipped, in the direction shown by the arrow, from the open position to this intermediate position by flipping thecover 20 alongabutment 50 while theguide rods 60 slide along the respectivearcuate grooves 70. In this intermediate position, thecover 20 is disposed at a substantially vertical position parallel and adjacent to the upwardly extendingstraw 18. -
FIG. 5 c shows thelid 10 with thecover 20 in a closing position. Thecover 20 is flipped, in the direction shown by the arrow, from the intermediate position to this closing position by flipping thecover 20 alongabutment 52 while theguide rods 60 slide along the respectivearcuate grooves 70. In this closing position, thestraw 18 is biased by thecover 20 towards one side. -
FIG. 5 d shows thelid 10 with thecover 20 in a closed position. Thecover 20 is flipped, in the direction shown by the arrow, from the closing position to this closed position by continuously flipping thecover 20 alongabutment 52 while theguide rods 60 continuously slide along the respectivearcuate grooves 70 until reaching the ends thereof. In this closed position, thestraw 18 is bent underneath thecover 20 and pressed against thelid body 12. - The
cover 20 may include a pressingmember 28 at the lower side thereof proximate to theproximal end 22 of thecover 20. According to the illustrated embodiment, the pressingmember 28 may be disposed between the twoguide rods 60. Thecover 20 acts as a lever arm to provide leverage for pressing thestraw 18 by the pressingmember 28 against thelid body 12 and blocking the flow of beverage through thestraw 18. This makes closing thecover 20 and pressing thestraw 18 against thelid body 12 easy for children and the elderly users. - The pressing
member 28 may have a curved surface adapted to press against thestraw 18 in a slightly rolling manner. This may reduce the likelihood of damaging thestraw 18 when flipping thecover 20 between the open and closed positions thereby prolonging the life of thestraw 18 and thelid 10. - To open the
cover 20, thedistal end 24 of thecover 20 is pushed upwards so that it deflects outwards until therecess 80 rides over theprotrusion 82. When therecess 80 of thecover 20 is disengaged from theprojection 82 of thelid body 12, thestraw 18 underneath thecover 20 acts as a spring adapted to spring back by its resilience from a biased bending position to a free upright position. This automatically flips thecover 20 from the closed position as shown inFIG. 5 d to the open position as shown inFIG. 5 a under the influence of the spring back force exerted on the underside of thecover 20. This makes opening of thecover 20 easy for children and the elderly users. - While the present invention has been shown and described with particular references to preferred embodiments thereof, it should be noted that various other changes or modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
