Abstract
An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container can be consumed. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be configured to lock into place on the recess in both the closed position and the opened position.
Claims25
A lid assembly comprising:
- a lid comprising a rim for engaging an opening of a container, the rim defining a top wall and a side wall;
- a slider comprising a slider tab, a first clamping magnet, and a first positioning magnet;
- the lid further comprising a middle wall extending below the rim, the middle wall having a first opening and at least one air vent, a second clamping magnet, a second positioning magnet, and a third positioning magnet;
- and
- wherein the slider is configured to selectively provide a closed position by covering the first opening and an opened position by uncovering the first opening and the at least one air vent;
- wherein the first clamping magnet on the slider is configured to interact with the second clamping magnet on the middle wall to maintain the slider on the lid and the first positioning magnet is configured to interact with the second positioning magnet to maintain the slider in the closed position and the first positioning magnet is configured to interact with the third positioning magnet to maintain the slider in the opened position.
A container assembly comprising:
- a container;
- a lid having an opening for receiving liquid from the container;
- a slider having a handle;
- and
- wherein the slider is configured to slide along the lid;
- wherein the slider is configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container can be consumed;
- wherein the slider is configured to lock into place on a recess in both the closed position and the opened position,
- wherein the slider is configured to be secured on the lid and is configured to be removable from the lid, wherein the slider comprises a first clamping magnet, and a first positioning magnet and wherein the lid further comprises a second clamping magnet, a second positioning magnet, and a third positioning magnet;
- and
- wherein the first clamping magnet on the slider is configured to interact with the second clamping magnet on the lid to maintain the slider on the lid and the first positioning magnet is configured to interact with the second positioning magnet to maintain the slider in the closed position and the first positioning magnet is configured to interact with the third positioning magnet to maintain the slider in the opened position.
A container assembly comprising:
- a container;
- a lid having an opening for receiving liquid from the container;
- a slider having a handle;
- and
- wherein the slider is configured to slide along the lid;
- wherein the slider is configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container can be consumed;
- wherein the slider is configured to lock into place on a recess in both the closed position and the opened position,
