Abstract: An amusement device for enabling a colorful display of one's allegiance to a particular team or entity includes a generally circular hoop member which is provided with a generally cylindrical handle portion, an air-extendable, flexible, fabric sleeve which is hollow throughout having a large opening at one end and a smaller opening at the opposite end and which is securely attached to the hoop member such that the larger opening remains in an open condition. The hoop member further includes a rotational joint which receives the generally cylindrical handle member and which is anchored in place by top and bottom retaining rings securely attached to the handle member, one on each side of the rotational joint of the hoop member. As a circular motion is imparted to the handle member, this motion results in a circular path of the hoop and fabric sleeve, and the interaction of air flow into the hollow sleeve through the hoop results in the hoop and sleeve rotating so as to always receive the incoming air flow.

Abstract: A closure lid for beverage containers and the like includes a raised boss portion which is integral with the lid and arranged into a generally curved area and a generally rectangular area. This closure lid further includes a flexible spout member arranged with a base portion and a resilient drinking spout and it is secured within the boss portion of the lid. The base portion of the flexible spout member includes a smaller peripheral edge portion and a larger, upper peripheral edge portion combining to form a lip. The enclosing boss portion is cooperatively contoured so as to rigidly clamp this lip thereby holding the flexible spout member in a fixed orientation relative to the boss portion. The boss portion comprises a closure strip defined by score lines and which is separable from the boss portion by means of a pull ring. Disposed beneath this closure strip is the folded resilient drinking spout portion of the spout member.
