Cup lid

A reusable lid, comprising:

• a main body having a first surface;
• a spout portion extending outwardly from the first surface of the main body and having a second surface that is substantially parallel to the first surface and has an opening formed therein;
• and
• a sealing member having a base portion, a cap portion with a third surface, and an intermediate portion disposed between the base portion and the cap portion,
• wherein the sealing member is movable relative to the main body and the spout portion between a first orientation and a second orientation, wherein in the first orientation the cap portion engages the second surface to seal the opening and the third surface is substantially parallel to the first and second surfaces, and in the second orientation the opening is unobstructed by the cap portion and the third surface is non-parallel to the first and second surfaces,
• wherein the main body comprises a first recess and a second recess extending from the first recess to the spout portion, wherein the first recess is configured to receive at least a portion of the cap portion when the sealing member is in the second orientation, wherein the second recess is configured to receive the base portion of the sealing member when the sealing member is in the first orientation, and
• wherein the main body further comprises a vent disposed in the second recess, wherein the base portion of the sealing member engages the vent to seal the vent when the sealing member is in the first orientation, and wherein the vent comprises a central opening with one or more arcuate slits spaced outwardly from the central opening.

A reusable lid for a beverage container, comprising:

• a main body having a raised nipple and a central recess;
• and
• a sealing member pivotally connected to the main body for pivoting about a pivot axis located substantially within the central recess,
• wherein the raised nipple includes a first surface having a drink-through opening and the sealing member has a second surface sealingly compatible with the first surface,
• wherein the sealing member is pivotable between a first orientation in which the first and second surfaces are in substantially parallel engagement to one another and the drink-through opening is sealed and a second orientation in which the first and second surfaces are not parallel to one another and the drink-through opening is exposed,
• wherein the central recess includes a deeper recess portion on a side of the lid opposite the nipple to receive the second surface of the sealing member in the second orientation, and
• wherein the deeper recess portion has a geometry compatible with the second surface such that at least a portion of the second surface rests within the deeper recess when the sealing member is in the second orientation.
