Abstract

Lid for beverage container. A lid of the present disclosure can include a lid body configured to threadably couple to a container, and a tab assembly hingedly coupled to the lid body, the tab assembly comprising a flip component and a tab component, wherein the flip component is configured to flip from a closed configuration to an open configuration relative to the lid body, and wherein the slide component is configured to slide relative to the flip component so to lock and unlock the slide component upon the lid body.

Claims (37)

1. A lid for a beverage container, comprising:

a lid body configured to threadably couple to a container;

a tab assembly comprising a flip component and a slide component, the flip component being hingedly coupled to the lid body, the slide component being positioned upon the flip component and configured to slide over a surface of the flip component so as to lock and unlock the slide component upon the lid body.

2. The lid of claim 1 , wherein the flip component is configured to flip from a closed configuration to an open configuration relative to the lid body.

3. The lid of claim 1 , wherein when the lid is threadably coupled to the container and wherein when the slide component is locked relative to the flip component, the container having the lid coupled thereto is leakproof.

4. The lid of claim 1 , wherein when the tab assembly is in a closed configuration and when the slide component is in an unlocked configuration relative to the flip component, the flip component is permitted to flip from a closed configuration to an open configuration and back to the closed configuration.

5. The lid of claim 1 , wherein when the tab assembly is in a closed configuration and when the slide component is in a locked configuration relative to the flip component, the flip component is prevented from flipping relative to the lid body because the slide component locks the tab in place relative to the lid body.

6. The lid of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first magnetically attractive element coupled to or otherwise embedded in the flip component and a second magnetically attractive element coupled to or otherwise embedded in the lid body,

wherein one of the first magnetically attractive element or the second magnetically attractive element comprises a first magnet; and

wherein the other of the first magnetically attractive element or the second magnetically attractive element not comprising the first magnet can comprise either a metal or a second magnet.

7. The lid of claim 6 , wherein when the flip component is in an open configuration relative to the lid body, the first magnetically attractive element would be positioned close to, or even touching, the second magnetically attractive element, so that the flip component would remain open when drinking a beverage from the container having the lid coupled thereto.

8. The lid of claim 6 , wherein at least one of first magnetically attractive element and the second magnetically attractive element comprises has indicia positioned thereon or engraved therein.

9. The lid of claim 1 , wherein the lid body comprises one or more flanges defined therein or otherwise coupled thereto, the one or more flanges located at a relative top of the lid body and configured to aid or otherwise assist a user with securing and removing the lid relative to the container.

10. The lid of claim 1 , further comprising a threaded portion comprising threads, the threaded portion configured to engage a threaded section of the container.

11. The lid of claim 10 , wherein the threads have a spiral configuration.

12. The lid of claim 10 , wherein the threads are configured so to be able to engage the threaded section of the container, so to tighten the lid upon the container when the lid is rotated clockwise relative to the container and loosen the lid upon the container when the lid is rotated counterclockwise relative to the container.

13. The lid of claim 1 , wherein the flip component comprises a flip lock with a lock tab configured to engage an indention defined within the lid body when the flip component is in a closed configuration relative to the lid body.

14. The lid of claim 1 , further comprising:

a drink stopper coupled to or formed as part of the flip component, the drink stopper configured to fit within a drink opening so to seal the drink opening when the flip component is in a closed configuration.

15. The lid of claim 1 , further comprising:

a vent opening defined therein, the vent opening configured to allow an interior of the container to vent while a user is drinking from the container having the lid coupled thereto.

16. The lid of claim 1 , further comprising:

a vent stopper coupled to or formed as part of the flip component, the vent stopper configured to fit within a vent opening so to seal the vent opening when the flip component is in a closed configuration.

17. A lid for a beverage container, comprising:

a lid body configured to threadably couple to a container;

a tab assembly comprising a flip component and a slide component;

wherein the flip component is hingedly coupled to the lid body and configured to flip from a closed configuration to an open configuration relative to the lid body;

wherein the slide component is positioned upon the flip component and configured to slide over a surface of the flip component so as to lock and unlock the slide component upon the lid body;

wherein when the tab assembly is in a closed configuration and when the slide component is in an unlocked configuration, the flip component is permitted to flip from a closed configuration to an open configuration and back to the closed configuration;

wherein when the tab assembly is in a closed configuration and when the slide component is in a locked configuration, the flip component is prevented from flipping relative to the lid body because the slide component locks the flip component in place relative to the lid body; and

wherein when the lid is threadably coupled to the container and when the slide component is locked relative to the flip component, the container having the lid coupled thereto is leakproof.

18. The lid of claim 17 , further comprising:

a first magnetically attractive element coupled to or otherwise embedded in the flip component and a second magnetically attractive element coupled to or otherwise embedded in the lid body,

wherein one of the first magnetically attractive element or the second magnetically attractive element comprises a first magnet,

wherein the other of the first magnetically attractive element or the second magnetically attractive element not comprising the first magnet can comprise either a metal or a second magnet, and

wherein when the flip component is in an open configuration relative to the lid body, the first magnetically attractive element would be positioned close to, or even touching, the second magnetically attractive element, so that the flip component would remain open when drinking a beverage from the container having the lid coupled thereto.
