  • Patent number: 6571981
    Abstract: The present invention 10 is a sipper cup for children composed of a disposable material with a molded hinge 18 that connects the container body 16 and cling lid 14 of the present invention. The hinge 18 serves the user by providing easy opening and closing of the cup 16, for filling or refilling purposes. The cling lid 14 prevents the beverage contained therein from easily spilling and is outfitted with a sipping tip 20 with aperture 26 therein. The cling lid 14 attaches to the container body 16 via a locking flange 22 and locking recessed channel 24 that fit into and mate with one another. The sipping tip 20 minimizes the amount of liquid spilled if spilling conditions such as knocking over or dropping the cup 16 occur, making this device ideal for children. An alternative embodiment discloses a non-slip insulating sleeve 32 for placement round the container body 16.
