Claims20
A beverage container lid assembly comprising:
- a lid having a connection port;
- and
- a straw assembly comprising a cylindrical sleeve portion and a straw portion,
- wherein the cylindrical sleeve portion is configured to be inserted into the connection port and rotated relative to the lid from an unlocked state to a locked state,
- wherein the cylindrical sleeve portion comprises at least one engagement projection configured to interact with a corresponding structure of the connection port to secure the straw assembly in the locked state, and
- wherein the locked state resists unintentional axial removal of the straw assembly from the lid during normal use.

A beverage container lid assembly comprising:
- a lid having a connection port;
- and
- a straw assembly including an engagement region,
- wherein the straw assembly is configured to be inserted into the connection port and rotated relative to the lid from an unlocked position to a locked position,
- wherein, in the locked position, the engagement region cooperates with a complementary engagement structure of the connection port to inhibit axial removal of the straw assembly during normal use.
2 more elements
A beverage system comprising:
- a base structure configured to contain a beverage;
- a lid structure configured to be removably secured to the base structure, the lid structure comprising a connection port;
- and
- a straw assembly comprising a straw portion and an engagement region,
- wherein the base structure and the lid structure include complementary mating interfaces configured to secure the lid structure to the base structure in an engaged state,
- wherein the straw assembly is configured to be inserted into the connection port and rotated relative to the lid structure from an unlocked position to a locked position,
- wherein, in the locked position, the engagement region cooperates with a complementary engagement structure of the lid structure to inhibit axial removal of the straw assembly during normal use.
