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 (32)

1. A beverage container lid, comprising:

a lid body having a topside opposite an underside;

a cylindrical wall extending away from the underside of the lid body to a bottom edge;

a retaining flange extending radially out from the cylindrical wall at a position intermediate to the underside of the lid body and the bottom edge;

a threading extending radially out from the cylindrical wall between the bottom edge and the retaining flange; and

a circumferential seal coupled to the cylindrical wall between the retaining flange and the underside of the lid body, the circumferential seal having a sleeve portion and a flange portion, wherein the flange portion extends away from the cylindrical wall and towards the underside of the lid body.

2. The beverage container lid of claim 1 , wherein the flange portion of the circumferential seal is configured to move between a first position associated with the lid body being uncoupled from a beverage container and a second position associated with the lid body being coupled to the beverage container.

3. The beverage container lid of claim 2 , wherein the flange portion is configured to deflect towards the cylindrical wall when in the second position.

4. The beverage container lid of claim 2 , wherein the circumferential seal has a first diameter when in the first position and a second diameter when in the second position, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter.

5. The beverage container lid of claim 4 , wherein the first diameter is greater than a diameter of the retaining flange.

6. The beverage container lid of claim 4 , wherein the first diameter is greater than an outer diameter of the threading.

7. The beverage container lid of claim 4 , wherein the first diameter is less than a diameter of the lid body.

8. The beverage container lid of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve portion has a first height and the flange portion has a second height, wherein the first height is greater than the second height.

9. The beverage container lid of claim 8 , wherein the first height is equal to a distance between the underside of the lid body and the retaining flange.

10. The beverage container lid of claim 8 , wherein the flange portion is configured to have a third height when the lid body is coupled to a beverage container.

11. The beverage container lid of claim 1 , wherein an internal diameter of the sleeve portion is equal to an outer diameter of the cylindrical wall.

12. The beverage container lid of claim 11 , wherein the internal diameter of the sleeve portion is less than a diameter of the retaining flange.

13. The beverage container lid of claim 1 further comprising a flip component hingedly coupled to the topside of the lid body, the flip component configured to move between a closed configuration and an open configuration.

14. The beverage container lid of claim 13 further comprising a slide component slidably coupled to the flip component, the slide component configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position.

15. The beverage container lid of claim 14 further comprising a drink opening formed through the lid body.

16. The beverage container lid of claim 15 further comprising a drink stopper extending from the flip component and configured to fit within the drink opening and seal the drink opening when the flip component is in the closed configuration.

17. The beverage container lid of claim 16 further comprising:

a pair of flanges extending away from the topside of the lid body on opposite sides of the drink opening, each flange of the pair of flanges including a locking channel formed therein; and

a pair of lock tabs extending from opposite sides of the slide component, a respective lock tab is configured to be received in a respective locking channel when the flip component is in the closed configuration.

18. The beverage container lid of claim 17 , wherein the locking channel prevents rotation of the flip component when the slide component is in the locked position and permits rotation of the flip component when the slide component is in the unlocked position.

19. The beverage container lid of claim 14 further comprising a first magnetic portion coupled to the slide component and a second magnetic portion coupled to the top side of the lid body, the first and second magnetic portions configured to hold the flip component in the open configuration.

20. A beverage container lid, comprising:

a lid body having a topside opposite an underside;

a cylindrical wall extending away from the underside of the lid body to a bottom edge;

a retaining flange extending radially out from the cylindrical wall at a position intermediate to the underside of the lid body and the bottom edge;

a threading extending radially out from the cylindrical wall between the bottom edge and the retaining flange; and

a circumferential seal coupled to the cylindrical wall between the retaining flange and the underside of the lid body, the circumferential seal having a sleeve portion and a flange portion, wherein the sleeve portion includes a top end positioned adjacent the underside of the lid body and a bottom end opposite the top end, and wherein the flange portion extends from the bottom end of the sleeve portion towards the underside of the lid body, and wherein the top end of the sleeve portion is spaced from the bottom end of the sleeve portion a first distance and the flange portion extends a second distance, the second distance being less than the first distance.
