Abstract
A lid that, in order to keep the sip hole area sanitary when the lid is removed from the cup and is placed top-side down on a potentially contaminated surface, has raised locations on the top surface that lift the sip hole area at a distance from the potentially contaminated surface when the lid is placed on a surface.
Claims4
A lid, comprising:
- a circular body configured to engage a top of a beverage container;
- an orifice defined in a front portion of a top surface of the circular body;
- and
- two raised locations on the top surface of the circular body between the orifice and a center of gravity of the lid, the two raised locations being the highest locations on the lid so that the lid tilts on the two raised locations to lift the front portion when the top surface of the lid is placed on a horizontal surface.
