Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is a CIP of application Ser. No. 13/419,568, filed Mar. 14, 2012, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Conventional lid is prepared with annular inner protruding portion at lower periphery thereof. The protruding portion is able to abut against annular rim flange of a cup.
- However, the cup or the rim flange may be deformed when the cup is grabbed by someone. As a result, the cup is probably dropped out from the protruding portion. Moreover, each batch of cups has its own particular specifications established by the suppliers. The standards for the size, the thickness, the height, and the diameter of the rim flanges of cups are different from provider to provider. If the lid is not fit well with the cup, the cup can be dropped out from the lid easily.
- To enhance engagement of the lid and the cup, lid, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,154, is provided with inwardly extending panels which functions as barbs. The panel is able to engage the rim flange of the cup automatically when the lid covers on the cup.
- However, engagement of the lid provided in U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,154 is so firm that user can hardly remove the lid when he/she wants to. For removing the lid, cutting lines or projecting tab is provided together with the panel. Consequently, the projecting tab would complicate the lid making the lid difficult to be produced, and the cutting line would damage structure of the lid making the lid fractured once the lid is removed.
- Besides, U.S. Pat. No. 4,731,113 disclosed a lid having a similar structure to U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,154. Each of the two disclosures has a tongue which has been protruded above the plane of the side plate inward. The tongue tends to protrude inward. Besides, the tongue has a same thickness to the thickness of the side plate. Thus, the tongue is quite difficult to be deformed or bent. As a result, installing or removing the lid becomes difficult.
- The present invention is, therefore, arisen to obviate or at least mitigate the above mentioned disadvantages.
- The main object of the present invention is to provide a lid which is able to cover and engage a cup stably.
- To achieve the above and other objects, a lid of the present invention includes a top portion, an annular side plate, and at least an engagement portion.
- The annular side plate extends downwardly from a periphery of the top portion. An axial direction and a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction are defined by the side plate. The side plate is formed with at least a hole.
- The engagement portion is disposed on the side plate. The engagement portion comprises an engagement plate. The engagement plate has a bottom edge and a top edge. The bottom edge extends from and is connected to the side plate. The engagement plate extends from the bottom edge upwardly along the hole so that the engagement plate is received in the hole. The engagement plate is bendable. An engagement space is defined in middle of the top portion, the side plate, and the top edge of the engagement plate when the engagement plate is bent inwardly along the radial direction.
- The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment(s) in accordance with the present invention.

FIG. 1 toFIG. 3 for a first embodiment of the present invention. The lid of the present embodiment is provided for covering and engaging acup 10. Thecup 10 has abody 11 and arim flange 12. Thebody 11 is formed cylindrically with an upper opening. Therim flange 12 is disposed on the body and surrounds the upper opening annularly. Thecup 10 may be made of paper, plastic, or other suitable material. - In the present embodiment, the lid includes a
top portion 20, anannular side plate 30, and three engagement portions. Thetop portion 20 is adapted for covering upon therim flange 12 and covering the upper opening of thecup 10. Thetop portion 20 may be formed with suitable grooves, protrusions, or openings for user to drink directly or to drink with a straw. Preferably, thetop portion 20 is formed with an additional annularinner plate 21 extending downwardly therefrom. Theinner plate 21 is adapted for abutting against inner surface of thecup 10 or inner periphery of therim flange 12. In other possible embodiments of the present invention, the function of theinner plate 21 may be provided directly by grooved or curvedtop portion 20. - The
annular side plate 30 stretches and extends downwardly from periphery of thetop portion 20. Theinner plate 21 is then located in theside plate 30. An axial direction and a radial direction are defined by theannular side plate 30. The radial direction is perpendicular to the axial direction. Theside plate 30 is further formed with three holes. Preferably, theside plate 30 is further formed with threeextension portions 31 protruding downwardly from where the holes are. Additionally, the side plate may be formed with a protrudingportion 32 protruding inwardly therefrom. The protrudingportion 32 is utilized for abutting against lower periphery of therim flange 12. - The engagement portions are equidistantly disposed on the
side plate 30. Each engagement portion includes anengagement plate 41 which has a bottom edge and a top edge. The bottom edge extends from and is connected to theside plate 30. Theengagement plate 41 extends from the bottom edge upwardly along the hole. Theengagement plate 41 is then received in the hole. Thus, a U-shaped gap is defined by theengagement plate 41 and theside plate 30. Consequently, theside plate 30, the hole, and theengagement plate 41 may be prepared by cutting an intact annular plate so that theside plate 30 and theengagement plate 41 are located at a same plane. That is, theengagement plate 41 does not protrude above the plane of theside plate 30 before being pressed. Moreover, a thickness of theside plate 30 is larger than a thickness of theengagement plate 41 so that theengagement plate 41 is properly deformable for pressing. In the present embodiment, theengagement plate 41 is formed with aprotrusion 411 and anotch 412. Theprotrusion 411 protrudes radially outwardly from the top edge of theengagement plate 41, so that theprotrusion 411 is located at the top edge. Preferably, theprotrusion 411 is formed as a rib extending along the top edge. Alternatively, theprotrusion 411 may protrude radially inwardly from the top edge. Thenotch 412 is recessed downwardly from the top edge of theengagement plate 41. Thenotch 412 may be formed in V-shaped notch, as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , or in semicircular notch. Theengagement plate 41 and theside plate 30 are bendable. Theengagement plate 41 can be bent inwardly along the radial direction. Thus, anengagement space 43 is defined in middle of thetop portion 20, theside plate 30, and the top edge of theengagement plate 41, as shown inFIG. 4 . - In the present embodiment, there are three groups of
extension portion 31, hole, and engagement portion. In other possible embodiments of the present invention, one ormore extension portions 31, holes, and engagement portions can be prepared for the similar function. - Please refer to
FIG. 5 . Accordingly, the lid is adapted for covering acup 10. Theinner plate 21, thetop portion 20, theside plate 30, and the protrudingportion 32 engage and clutch at therim flange 12. Preliminary engagement of the lid and thecup 10 is achieved, as shown inFIG. 6 . Please refer toFIGS. 7 and 8 . Theengagement plate 41 is then pressed inwardly so that theengagement plate 41 is slightly deformed and bent. Theengagement plate 41 would finally abut against both of therim flange 12 and thebody 11. Thus, therim flange 12 is firmly engaged by the lid. Practically, theengagement plate 41 may be curved or bent to firmly abut against therim flange 12. - In engaging and clutching the
rim flange 12, theengagement plate 41 is bent inwardly. Thenotch 412 is provided for increasing flexibility of theengagement plate 41, so that theengagement plate 41 can be bent to engage therim flange 12 easily. In addition, theprotrusion 411 is provided for thickening the top edge of theengagement plate 41. Insertion of the top edge into the seam between therim flange 12 and thebody 11 is prevented, so that the top edge is kept dismountable from thebody 11 or from thecup 10. - In the present invention, the lid engages the
cup 10 by clutching therim flange 12. The engagement plate functions as claw to firmly clutch the rim flange. Even specifications of the rim flange are slightly changed, the lid can still engage with the cup well. - Please refer to
FIG. 9 . Additionally, when theengagement plate 41 engages therim flange 12, only the central portion of theengagement plate 41 abuts against thebody 11 since curvature of the top edge is greater than curvature of the bottom edge. User can pull theengagement plate 41 from two sides of theengagement plate 41 for removing the lid. Thus, lid removing can be achieved easily without destroying the lid. - The
extension portions 31 of theside plate 30 are provided for user to facilitating lid removing. User can hold the extension portion and pull the extension portion outwardly. Thus, the engagement plate would be drawn back away from thebody 11 so as to break the engagement relationship. Lid removing is then facilitated.
