Abstract

A recloseable lid (10) for a drinking cup (12) comprising a base (16) and a cap (18) in mating relationship which can rotate relative to each other. Both the base (16) and cap (18) are provided with an aperture (49, 79) for delivery of liquid therethrough. When the apertures (49, 79) are aligned, liquid may be removed from the cup (12). When the cap (18) is rotated relative to the base (16) so that the apertures (49, 79) are offset, removal and spillage of liquid will be prevented.
