Abstract
A drinking vessel may include a tumbler having an inner surface dimension, a first portion, and a second portion. The first portion may include a proximal surface having a first dimension and a first rim coupled to the proximal surface and having a second dimension, the first dimension being larger than the second dimension. The second portion may include a collar having an outer dimension substantially similar to the first dimension, an inner dimension substantially similar to the second dimension, and a second rim connected to the collar and having an outer dimension substantially similar to the second dimension and the inner surface dimension.
Claims8
A lid for a container comprising:
- a first portion, including, a proximal surface having a first-dimension value;
- a first rim coupled to the proximal surface and having a second-dimension value, the first-dimension value being larger than the second-dimension value;
- and
- a second portion configured to receive the first portion in a nested relationship, the second portion including,
- a collar having an outer dimension value substantially similar to the first-dimension value and an inner dimension value substantially similar to the second-dimension value;
- a second rim connected to the collar and having an outer dimension value substantially similar to the second-dimension value;
- a baffle at least partially in contact with the collar at an edge of the baffle and at least partially surrounded by the collar, wherein the baffle defines a first through-hole at a central region of the baffle and a second through-hole at the edge of the baffle;
- and
- a flap connected to the baffle at the second through-hole, the flap configured to at least partially impede fluid flow through the second through-hole;
- wherein the flap is connected at a connection point to the baffle at a first angle defined by the connection point as a first vertex, the edge of the baffle, and the flap;
- wherein the first angle is smaller than a second angle that is defined by the connection point as a second vertex, the edge of the baffle, and a proximal rim of the second portion.
