Drinking and sealing lids for vessels and associated devices and methods

A lid for a vessel, comprising:

• a spout component having a first end region and a second end region opposite to the first end region, wherein—
• the first end region comprises one or more openings configured to allow liquid to be extracted through the spout component;
• and
• a base component having (i) a top portion extending from the second end region of the spout component and surrounding the spout component, and (ii) a side portion extending away from the top portion, wherein the side portion comprises—
• a first inner surface,
• one or more ridges extending radially inward from the first inner surface and configured to concur within threads along a neck of the vessel, and
• a peripheral edge region having a second inner surface with a larger diameter than that of the first inner surface around a circumference of the peripheral edge region, the second inner surface being substantially parallel to the first inner surface, and
• the base component is made from an elastic material configured to allow the base component to stretch over differently sized mouths of drinking vessels to form a liquid-tight seal between the base component and the drinking vessels.

A method of using a sip lid, comprising:

• stretching a base component of the sip lid around threads of a neck of a drinking vessel to form a liquid-tight seal between the base component and the neck without using threads, wherein—
• the base component includes (i) a top portion, and (ii) a side portion extending away from the top portion,
• the side portion has a first inner surface comprising one or more ridges,
• the side portion includes a peripheral edge region having a second inner surface with a larger diameter than that of the first inner surface around a circumference of the peripheral edge region, the second inner surface being substantially parallel to the first inner surface,
• the liquid-tight seal is formed by positioning the one or more ridges around the threads of the neck of the drinking vessel so that the one or more ridges concur within one or more roots of the threads of the neck of the drinking vessel,
• the sip lid comprises a spout component having a first end region with openings configured to allow for liquid extraction therethrough and a second end region coupled to the base component, and
• the base component of the sip lid is configured to be stretched over necks of drinking vessels having diameters ranging from about 30 mm to about 55 mm.

A lid for a baby bottle, comprising:

• a spout component having a first end region and a second end region opposite to the first end region, wherein—
• the spout component is shaped and sized to be received within a mouth of a child, and
• the first end region comprises at least one opening configured to allow liquid to be extracted through the spout component when the child is applying suction to the spout component;
• and
• a base component having:
• (i) a top portion extending from the second end region of the spout component and surrounding the spout component and configured to extend around a neck of the baby bottle, and
• (ii) a side portion extending from the top portion away from the spout component, wherein the side portion comprises—
• a first inner surface,
• one or more ridges extending radially inward from the first inner surface and configured to concur within threads along the neck, and
• a peripheral edge region having a second inner surface with a larger diameter than that of the first inner surface around a circumference of the peripheral edge region, the second inner surface being substantially parallel to the first inner surface,
• wherein the side portion of the base component is configured to stretch around differently sized bottle necks to form a liquid-tight seal between the base component and the bottle necks, and
• wherein the base component and the spout component are made from silicone.
