Beverage container lid with magnetic sealing mechanism

A lid for a container, the lid comprising:

• a lid body defining a drinking opening and a venting opening therethrough;
• a movable arm coupled to the lid body and located in an interior of the lid body, the movable arm movable between a sealing position, a venting position, and an open position;
• a first magnet unit coupled to the movable arm;
• an actuator accessible from an exterior of the lid body, the actuator movable between a first position and a second position;
• and
• a second magnet unit coupled to the actuator,
• wherein when the movable arm is in the sealing position, the venting opening and the drinking opening are sealed,
• wherein when the movable arm is in the venting position, the venting opening is not sealed and the drinking opening is sealed,
• wherein when the movable arm is in the open position, the venting opening and the drinking opening are not sealed, and
• wherein in response to the actuator moving from the first position to the second position, a magnetic force between the first magnet unit and the second magnet unit moves the movable arm from the sealing position to the venting position and then to the open position.

A lid for a container, the lid comprising:

• a lid body defining a drinking opening therethrough;
• a movable arm coupled to the lid body and located in an interior of the lid body, the movable arm movable between a sealing position, in which the drinking opening is sealed, and an open position, in which the drinking opening is not sealed;
• a first magnet unit coupled to the movable arm;
• an actuator accessible from an exterior of the lid body, the actuator linearly slidable along a travel axis from a first position to a second position;
• and
• a second magnet unit coupled to the actuator,
• wherein when the actuator is moved toward the second position, a force between the first magnet unit and the second magnet unit causes the movable arm to move away from the sealing position, and
• wherein at least one of the first magnet unit and the second magnet unit is angled at an oblique angle relative to the travel axis when the movable arm is in the sealing position.
