Abstract
A pump operated lid that pushes liquid through the lid. The pump operated lid includes an enclosure having an interior volume and an outer perimeter, wherein the outer perimeter is designed to removably secure to a cup. An air pump is within the interior volume along with a power source and a control circuit, each operably connected to the air pump. A switch is on the enclosure and operably connected to the air pump, such that the switch is designed to activate the air pump. One or more valves are on the upper surface and designed to allow air into the interior volume, and close when the air pump is activated. An aperture is on the upper surface and extends through the enclosure and is designed to receive a straw therethrough.

1) A pump operated beverage container lid, comprising:
- an enclosure having an interior volume and an outer perimeter, wherein a lower portion of the outer perimeter is configured to removably secure to a beverage container;
- an air pump disposed within the interior volume of the enclosure;
- a power source disposed within the interior volume, wherein the power source is operably connected to the air pump;
- a switch disposed on an exterior surface of the enclosure operably connected to the air pump such that actuating the switch actuates the air pump;
- at least one valve disposed through the pump operated beverage container lid, wherein the valve is configured to allow air to pass through the enclosure;
- the valve further configured to close when the air pump is actuated, thereby preventing air from passing through the enclosure;
- a control circuit disposed within the interior volume of the lid operably connected to the power source;
- and
- an aperture disposed on the upper surface and extending through the enclosure wherein the aperture is configured to receive a straw therethrough.
13) A pump operated beverage container lid, comprising:
- an enclosure having an interior volume and an outer perimeter, wherein a lower portion of the outer perimeter is configured to removably secure to a beverage container;
- an air pump disposed within the interior volume of the enclosure;
- a power source disposed within the interior volume, wherein the power source is operably connected to the air pump;
- a switch disposed on an exterior surface of the enclosure operably connected to the air pump such that actuating the switch actuates the air pump;
- at least one valve disposed through the pump operated beverage container lid, wherein the valve is configured to allow air to pass through the enclosure;
- the valve further configured to close when the air pump is actuated, thereby preventing air from passing through the enclosure;
- a control circuit disposed within the interior volume of the lid operably connected to the power source;
- a charging station operably connected to the control circuit, wherein the charging station includes a USB port;
- and
- an aperture disposed on the upper surface and extending through the enclosure wherein the aperture is configured to receive a straw therethrough.
