Swivel opening lid

A swivel opening lid configured for use with a separate portable beverage container, the swivel opening lid comprising:

• a stationary plate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first outer circumference, a longitudinal axis extending through the top and bottom surfaces, a recess in the top surface at the longitudinal axis, and a beverage opening offset from the longitudinal axis and extending through the top and bottom surfaces, wherein the stationary plate is configured to restrict the passage of a beverage from the separate portable beverage container at its bottom surface;
• a swiveling component located atop the stationary plate and having a protrusion that extends into the recess and further having a second outer circumference that is smaller than the first outer circumference, wherein the swiveling component is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis relative to the stationary plate to multiple discrete rotational positions that include at least one closed position where the swiveling component blocks the beverage opening and at least one open position where the swiveling component does not block the beverage opening;
• a recess magnetic component located at the stationary plate recess;
• a protrusion magnetic component located at the swiveling component protrusion, wherein the protrusion magnetic component and recess magnetic component are configured to generate enough attractive magnetic force between them to keep the protrusion in the recess until a sufficient manual pulling force is applied to pull them apart;
• a rotating magnetic component located at the swiveling component;
• and
• multiple stationary magnetic components located at the stationary plate, wherein the rotating magnetic component is configured to interact with each of the multiple stationary magnetic components separately as the rotating magnetic component rotates with the swiveling component to a discrete rotational position that corresponds to a stationary magnetic component.

A portable beverage container, comprising:

• a main reservoir configured to hold a beverage therein;
• and
• a swivel opening lid removably coupled to the main reservoir, the swivel opening lid including:
• a stationary plate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first outer circumference, a longitudinal axis extending through the top and bottom surfaces, a recess in its top surface, a recess magnetic component at the recess, and a beverage opening offset from the longitudinal axis and extending through the top and bottom surfaces, wherein the stationary plate is configured to restrict the passage of a beverage from the main reservoir at its bottom surface,
• a swiveling component located proximate the stationary plate and having a second outer circumference that is smaller than the first outer circumference, the swiveling component including a protrusion configured to extend into the recess and a protrusion magnetic component located at the protrusion, the protrusion magnetic component being configured to interact with the recess magnetic component to hold the swiveling component against the stationary plate, wherein the swiveling component is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis relative to the stationary plate to multiple discrete rotational positions that include at least one closed position where the swiveling component blocks the beverage opening and at least one open position where the swiveling component does not block the beverage opening, and
• multiple position biasing components including multiple stationary magnetic components located at the stationary plate and a rotating magnetic component located at the swiveling component, wherein the multiple position biasing components are configured to bias the swiveling component to stop its rotation and stay at one of the discrete rotational positions by the rotating magnetic component being configured to interact with each of the multiple stationary magnetic components to hold the swiveling component at one of the discrete rotational positions.
