Container with combination lid and handle

Abstract

Described herein are embodiments of an apparatus that include and/or consist of a spill-proof lid for a drinking container. In an embodiment, the apparatus may include a lid, where the lid is configured to include a straw having a leak-proof engagement with the lid and may also include a one-way valve disposed in a portion of the straw that only allows liquid to exit the container (through the straw) when the pressure inside the container is sufficiently greater than the pressure outside the container. In another embodiment, the apparatus may include a handle attached to the spill-proof lid that moves between an open and a closed position and that makes carrying the apparatus easier.
