Abstract
A drinking lid is disclosed herein. Exemplary implementations may include a stationary portion and a spinning portion. The stationary portion includes a drinking opening. The spinning portion is rotatably coupled to the stationary portion. The spinning portion is configured to be positioned in a position in which the drinking opening is covered such that the drinking lid is spill-resistant. The spinning portion is further configured to be positioned in a different position that leaves the drinking opening uncovered or open.

- wherein the first opening has a first shape and a first size, wherein a connective slope is stationary in relation to the container while the stationary portion is coupled to the container,
- wherein the connective slope extends from the first opening to the second opening to form a drinking opening configured to provide a conduit through the stationary portion from the bottom side of the drinking lid to the top side of the drinking lid, and
- wherein the secondary opening has a second shape and a second size;
- and
- a spinning portion configured to be rotatably coupled to the stationary portion, wherein rotation of the spinning portion is relative to a rotational axis, wherein the spinning portion is configured to be positioned in at least one of a covered position and an open position, wherein the spinning portion is configured to transition between the covered position and the open position through the rotation of the spinning portion, wherein the spinning portion includes:
- a cover plate configured to cover the first opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position;
- an assembly barrel configured to couple to the cover plate;
- and
- a sealing plate configured to be coupled to the assembly barrel and further configured to seal the second opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position,
- wherein, responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the open position, the cover plate is configured to leave the first opening uncovered and the sealing plate is configured to leave the second opening uncovered such that the drinking opening provides the conduit through the stationary portion of the drinking lid.
A container with a drinking lid, the drinking lid having a top side and a bottom side, wherein the container is configured to contain a beverage, wherein the drinking lid comprises:
- a stationary portion configured to be removably coupled, via one or more couplings, to the container,
- wherein the stationary portion is further configured to remain stationary in relation to the container upon being coupled to the container, until uncoupled by a user,
- wherein the stationary portion includes a first opening on the top side of the drinking lid and a second opening on the bottom side of the drinking lid,
- wherein the first opening and the second opening are stationary in relation to the container while the stationary portion is coupled to the container,
- wherein the first opening has a first shape and a first size, wherein a connective slope is stationary in relation to the container while the stationary portion is coupled to the container,
- wherein the connective slope extends from the first opening to the second opening to form a drinking opening configured to provide a conduit through the stationary portion from the bottom side of the drinking lid to the top side of the drinking lid, wherein the secondary opening has a second shape and a second size;
- and
- a spinning portion configured to be rotatably coupled to the stationary portion, wherein rotation of the spinning portion is relative to a rotational axis, wherein the spinning portion is configured to be positioned in at least one of a covered position and an open position, wherein the spinning portion is configured to transition between the covered position and the open position through the rotation of the spinning portion, wherein the spinning portion includes:
- a cover plate configured to cover the first opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position;
- an assembly barrel configured to couple to the cover plate;
- and
- a sealing plate configured to be coupled to the assembly barrel and further configured to seal the second opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position,
- wherein, responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the open position, the cover plate is configured to leave the first opening uncovered and the sealing plate is configured to leave the second opening uncovered such that the drinking opening provides the conduit through the stationary portion of the drinking lid.
A portable blender including a drinking lid, the drinking lid having a top side and a bottom side, the portable blender comprising:
- a container configured to contain drinkable liquids;
- and
- the drinking lid, wherein the drinking lid comprises:
- a stationary portion configured to be removably coupled, via one or more couplings, to the container,
- wherein the stationary portion is further configured to remain stationary in relation to the container upon being coupled to the container, until uncoupled by a user,
- wherein the stationary portion includes a first opening on the top side of the drinking lid and a second opening on the bottom side of the drinking lid,
- wherein the first opening and the second opening are stationary in relation to the container while the stationary portion is coupled to the container,
- wherein a connective slope is stationary in relation to the container while the stationary portion is coupled to the container,
- wherein the connective slope extends from the first opening to the second opening to form a drinking opening configured to provide a conduit through the stationary portion, from the bottom side of the drinking lid to the top side of the drinking lid;
- and
- a spinning portion configured to be rotatably coupled to the stationary portion, wherein rotation of the spinning portion is relative to a rotational axis, wherein the spinning portion is configured to be positioned in at least one of a covered position and an open position, wherein the spinning portion is configured to transition between the covered position and the open position through the rotation, wherein the spinning portion includes:
- a cover plate configured to cover the first opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position;
- an assembly barrel configured to couple to the cover plate;
- and
- a sealing plate configured to seal the second opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position,
- wherein, responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the open position, the cover plate is configured to leave the first opening uncovered and the sealing plate is configured to leave the second opening uncovered such that the drinking opening provides the conduit through the stationary portion of the drinking lid.
