Lid

A thermoformed lid for a beverage container, the lid comprising:

• a mounting portion having a circular outer periphery;
• a top wall having a circular inner periphery, the top wall having a segment with a an upwardly extending protrusion and a rupturable seam positioned about the protrusion, the segment further having a hinge extending between opposed ends of the seam;
• a side wall extending vertically between the mounting portion and the top wall;
• a central portion positioned radially inward of the top wall, the central portion having a circular outer periphery;
• and,
• wherein the protrusion is pivotable about the hinge between a closed position and an open position to define a drink open residing entirely within the top wall, and wherein the protrusion is retained in the open position below a plane in which the top wall resides.

A thermoformed lid for a beverage container, the lid comprising:

• a mounting portion having a circular outer periphery and configured to connect the lid to the container;
• a side wall extending upward from the mounting portion;
• a top wall extending radially inward from the side wall, the top wall having a segment with a rupturable seam and a hinge, the top wall further having a protrusion extending upwardly from the segment, the protrusion having an apex defined by a first pair of opposed walls that converge;
• a central portion positioned radially inward of the top wall and having a circular outer periphery, and,
• wherein the protrusion has a first sealed position, and a second position where upon rupture of the seam, the protrusion is pivotable about the hinge to define a drink opening in the top wall.

• a top wall having a circular inner periphery and a segment positioned radially outward of the inner periphery, the segment having a rupturable seam, a hinge and an upwardly extending protrusion, the protrusion having a first pair of opposed walls that converge to define a rounded upper end wall;
• an annular side wall extending vertically between the mounting portion and the top wall;
• and,
• wherein the protrusion is pivotable about the hinge between an initial sealed position, and an open position upon rupture of the seam to define a drink opening residing entirely within the top wall.
