  • Publication number: 20070029322
    Abstract: A cup lid comprising a base cup lid having a drink-through opening formed therein in a planar top portion thereof, and a rotatable stopper associated therewith so as to selectively provide a sealed and unsealed relationship between said drink-through opening and a opening in said rotatable stopper. The base cup lid and the rotatable stopper are mated to one another by the use of convoluted portions on each part which form a sliding tongue and groove relationship. The rotatable stopper has an actuator that can be used to move the rotatable stopper from a closed position wherein the opening in the rotatable stopper and the drink-through opening in the base cup lid, are not aligned, to an open position where the opening in the rotatable stopper and the drink-through opening in the base cup lid, are aligned. An easily operated resealable cup lid is provided.

  • Publication number: 20070012698
    Abstract: A resealable cup lid comprising a base cup lid having a drink-through opening formed therein in a planar top portion thereof, and a sliding stopper associated therewith so as to selectively provide a sealed and unsealed relationship between said drink-through opening and said sliding stopper. The sliding stopper is a planar and rigid element preferably having a pair of posts upstanding therefrom near the ends thereof, and having an opening therein so that, when aligned with said drink-through opening, a liquid passage through said opening in said sliding stopper and through said drink-through opening formed in the base cup lid, is provided. The sliding stopper can be moved to a closed position wherein the opening in the sliding stopper and the drink-through opening in the base cup lid, are not aligned. The pair of posts on said sliding stopper limit movement of the sliding stopper by being placed in a pair of arcuate openings on the planar top portion of the base cup lid.

  • Publication number: 20070012709
    Abstract: A combination of a disposable cup lid having a drink-through opening, and a stopper for the drink-through opening. The opening is formed through a planar top portion of the cup lid, and has predetermined dimensions of width and length. The stopper has a planar base portion and a bung portion depending substantially downwardly therefrom so that, when in position, the bung portion extends downwardly through said drink-through opening to seal the opening. The cup lid additionally comprises a well which is dimensioned so as to receive at least a portion of the bung portion of the stopper and to retain the bung portion by interference fit when in place in the well. A storage area for the stopper is thereby provided.
