Abstract
A lid apparatus includes a multicomponent barrier configured to be detachably secured to a container. The multicomponent barrier includes an inner layer and an outer layer that are interfitted such that the outer layer can be repositioned in relation to the inner layer to select one of multiple different barrier types.
Description
- The invention relates generally to lids for containers and, in particular, to multi-functional lids for containers.
- Lids for containers exist in many different forms. Lids for containers that are designed to hold beverages, soups, shakes, whipped ice drinks, or other dispensable substances often have functional drawbacks that are sometimes related to the purpose for which the lids are designed. For example, some beverage lids for fast-food cups are functionally limited because they only include a straw hole for dispensing a beverage. Moreover, such cups often depend upon the lid (being well secured to the top of the cup) for structural stability. If a person were to remove such a lid and attempt to drink directly from the cup, the sides of the cup may collapse inward creating a situation where the cup slips out of the person's hand and/or the beverage within the cup is spilled. Other lids require that a person pull or peel away a portion of the lid to create an opening which unfortunately compromises the structural integrity and/or seal between the lid and container. Other container/lid combinations are generally susceptible to spillage, particularly when jostled about (e.g., when a person is walking with the container, or when a cup is secured to an accelerating or decelerating motorized vehicle). Still other lids fail to prevent a solid (e.g., a piece of ice) and/or semi-solid (e.g., juice pulp) material from exiting the container. It would be useful to be able to provide a lid for a container that addresses one or more of these deficiencies.

FIG. 7 illustrates example modifications that can be made to the lid apparatus ofFIG. 1 to provide other lid apparatus embodiments. - Embodiments of the present invention pertain to a “universal” lid apparatus that can be used in various configurations. In an example embodiment, a lid apparatus offers multiple drink options that are provided via a free-flow opening, a filter opening, and a straw opening.
FIG. 1 shows an example embodiment of alid apparatus 100 and acontainer 102 to which thelid apparatus 100 can be secured. Thecontainer 102 can be a cold beverage cup, a hot beverage cup, a soup cup, a whipped ice drink cup, or any other type of container. - In this example embodiment, the
lid apparatus 100 includes anupper lid member 104 and alower lid member 106 which are interfitted together such that they provide a multicomponent barrier wherein theupper lid member 104 and thelower lid member 106 serve as an “outer layer” and an “inner layer” of the multicomponent barrier, respectively. By way of example, theupper lid member 104 and thelower lid member 106 are made from a plastic such as polystyrene. Referring toFIG. 2 which shows an exploded view of thelid apparatus 100 ofFIG. 1 , in this example embodiment, thelid apparatus 100 also includes afilter 108 positioned between theupper lid member 104 and thelower lid member 106. By way of example, thefilter 108 is made out of a plastic mesh with holes that are sufficiently small in size to prevent contaminants or other foreign objects, small bits of ice, and/or other particles from being dispensed from thecontainer 102. It should be appreciated however that the filter can be made from other materials and/or the size of the holes provided by the filter can be varied. In this example embodiment, thefilter 108 is sufficiently large to cover an opening 110 in theupper lid member 104. In this example embodiment, thefilter 108 is generally shaped like a “cheese wedge” and includes an indentedside surface 112 shaped as shown to permit a straw to pass through thelid apparatus 100. Thelower lid member 106 includes atop surface 114 which spans across approximately one-half of the top of thelower lid member 106 as shown. In this example embodiment, thetop surface 114 also includes anindented edge 116 shaped as shown to permit a straw to pass through thelid apparatus 100. In this example embodiment, thefilter 108 is secured (e.g., with an adhesive) to thelower lid member 106 such that abottom surface 118 of thefilter 108 is below thetop surface 114 of thelower lid member 106. In this example embodiment, thebottom surface 118 of thefilter 108 is bound by side surfaces 119 a, 119 b and 119 c and by the indentedside surface 112 as shown resulting in a recessed filter mechanism that filters beverage container contents dispensed through the bottom as well as the sides of the filter, while permitting the upper lip of a drinker to enter into the recess defined by theindented side surface 112, thebottom surface 118, and the side surfaces 119 a, 119 b and 119 c. In this example embodiment, thefilter 108 is positioned adjacent to thetop surface 114 and spans across approximately one-fourth of the top of thelower lid member 106 as shown which results in anopening 120 that spans across approximately one-fourth of the top of thelower lid member 106 as shown. In this example embodiment, boundaries of theopening 120 include edges of thetop surface 114 and thefilter 108 and aside portion 122 of thelower lid member 106. In addition to the opening 110, theupper lid member 104 includes astraw hole 124 which is centrally disposed in theupper lid member 104 to permit a straw to pass through thelid apparatus 100. In this example embodiment, thestraw hole 124 is formed in atop surface 126 of theupper lid member 104 inside arecessed area 128 of thetop surface 126. Therecessed area 128 functions as a reservoir for fluid that may escape through thestraw hole 124 and accumulate on thetop surface 126 of thelid apparatus 100. - In an example embodiment, a lid apparatus includes a multicomponent barrier configured to be detachably secured to a container, the multicomponent barrier including an inner layer and an outer layer that are interfitted such that the outer layer can be repositioned in relation to the inner layer to select one of a multiple different barrier types. In this example, the barrier types include a closed barrier and a filtered barrier.
- In an example embodiment, the
upper lid member 104 is mechanically coupled to thelower lid member 106 to permit a person to rotate theupper lid member 104 to different positions: an open position where theopenings opening 110 of theupper lid member 104 with thefilter 108 to catch ice, strain pulp, filter possible contaminants, etc., and a closed position where theopenings upper lid member 104 and thelower lid member 106 are configured such that theupper lid member 104 is repositioned by rotating theupper lid member 104 in relation to thelower lid member 106. - In an example embodiment, a barrier assembly includes components (e.g., layers) that are interfitted with a track mechanism. In an example embodiment, the track mechanism includes multiple tracks. In an example embodiment, the
side portion 122 of the lower lid member 106 (FIGS. 4A and 4B ) includes two substantiallyparallel tracks FIG. 3B ) of theupper lid member 104 includespiping elements upper lid member 104 is snapped onto thelower lid member 106 and, as discussed above, thefilter 108 is positioned between theupper lid member 104 and thelower lid member 106. In this example embodiment, thepiping elements tracks FIG. 1 ) results. Thebottom lid member 106 is configured to be secured to the lip of thecontainer 102. Because of the track mechanism, this allows theupper lid member 104 to rotate atop thebottom lid member 106. Thetrack 132 also serves to prevent spillage out of the side of thecontainer 102. - In an example embodiment, a barrier assembly includes components (e.g., layers) that include complementary interlocking surfaces. In an example embodiment, the
side portion 122 of the lower lid member 106 (FIG. 4A ) includes concavities (or divots) 142, and theupper lid member 104 includescomplementary protrusions 144. In an example embodiment, these complementary interlocking surfaces are configured for securing theupper lid member 104 into one of the open, filtered and closed positions.FIGS. 6A-6C illustrate how the complementary portions of the upper and lower lid members interface when the upper and lower lid members are rotated in relation to each other. As theupper lid member 104 rotates atop thelower lid member 106, it arrives at each of the three positions when theprotrusions 144 from the piping 136 line up with theconcavities 142 of thebottom track 130 and snap into place. The structural design of thepiping elements upper lid member 104 is rotated from one position to another. In an example embodiment, thebottom track 130 does not allow for much give. Consequently, when the protrusion is displaced from a concavity (divot) during rotation, pressure is exerted between the upper and lower portions of the lid, and the protrusion is naturally inclined to snap into a concavity in order to release the tension. - In an example embodiment, a lid apparatus includes a lower lid member, an upper lid member and a filter configured to provide a multifunctional barrier mechanism that is detachably securable to a container, the lower and upper lid members each include an opening and are mechanically coupled together such that a user of the lid apparatus can selectively reposition the upper lid member in relation to the lower lid member to one of: an open position where the openings are substantially aligned, a filtered position where the filter is substantially aligned with the opening of the upper lid member, and a closed position where the openings are not aligned. In an example embodiment, the filter covers the opening of the upper lid member when the upper lid member is in the filtered position.
- Referring to
FIGS. 5A-5C , in an example embodiment, theupper lid member 104 and thelower lid member 106 include visible indicia for guiding a user of thelid apparatus 100 in repositioned theupper lid member 104. As shown in this example, aside portion 146 of theupper lid member 104 includes symbol andtext indicia 148, and thebottom lid member 106 includesalignment indicia 150.FIG. 5A shows thelid apparatus 100 in a closed position with symbol and text indicia 148 (denoted “CLOSED”) aligned with thealignment indicia 150. In this example, both of the symbol andtext indicia 148 and thealignment indicia 150 include “dots” to assist a person in properly positioning theupper lid member 104 in relation to thelower lid member 106. In this example, the symbol andtext indicia 148 also include “icons” indicative of the position that results when thatparticular indicia 148 is aligned with theindicia 150 to assist those who cannot read the text.FIG. 5B shows thelid apparatus 100 in a filtered position with symbol and text indicia 148 (denoted “FILTERED”) aligned with thealignment indicia 150.FIG. 5C shows thelid apparatus 100 in an open position with symbol and text indicia 148 (denoted “OPEN”) aligned with thealignment indicia 150. Thus, in an example embodiment, a multicomponent barrier includes visible indicia for guiding a user in repositioned a component of the multicomponent barrier to select one of multiple different barrier types. - In an example embodiment, a lid apparatus includes a barrier assembly that is detachably securable to a container, the barrier assembly including components that are repositionable in relation to each other to provide different barrier functions, the barrier assembly including visible indicia for guiding a user of the lid apparatus in repositioning one or more of the components. In an example embodiment, the different barrier functions include a filtered barrier function and a closed barrier function.
-
FIG. 7 illustrates example modifications that can be made to thelid apparatus 100. The size, shape and/or positioning of theopening 110 and/or the recessedarea 128 can be changed. In this example,arrows 150 show how the recessedarea 128 can be increased as indicated by dashedline 152 to provide a larger reservoir. In this example,arrows 154 show how theopening 110 can be decreased in size as indicated by dashedlines 156 to provide a smaller area from which the contents of the container can be dispensed. In this example, theside portion 146 can be provided with a gripingsurface 158 to assist a person with manipulating thelid apparatus 100. - Although the present invention has been described in terms of the example embodiments above, numerous modifications and/or additions to the above-described embodiments would be readily apparent to one skilled in the art. It is intended that the scope of the present invention extend to all such modifications and/or additions.
