Benefits of technology

[0008]Another object of the present invention is to provide a disposable cup lid, which is formed with a heightened hump portion to allow the content inside of a cup to be drunk after flowing out of the lid, and to make the fragrance of the drinks, such as coffee, diffuse completely.
[0010]In other words, said hump portion and said vertical distance allow users to have hot drinks without touching the connection opening by their lips. In this way, hot drinks will be drunk after flowing out of the connection opening. Thereby, unlike drinking with a straw, the users won't scald when having hot drinks with the cup lid on the cup. Moreover, the fragrance of the drinks can diffuse completely, so that the drinks are much more flavorful.

Problems solved by technology

However, a problem is often found when using the disposable cup lid.
The problem is that a user may scald when having hot drinks with the cup lid on the cup.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 showing a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The disposable cup lid includes an engaging portion 10, a hump portion 20, a lid surface 30, and a connection opening 40.

[0018]The engaging portion is used for engaging with a cup 1. Perfectly, the engaging portion 10 has an upper wall 11 and an outer sidewall 12. The upper wall 11 and the outer sidewall 12 respectively abut against the upper rim and the outer rim of an engaging lip 2 of the cup 1.

[0019]At least part of the hump portion 20 is formed annularly inside of the engaging portion 10. In present embodiment, the hump portion 20 is generally formed as inverse V-shape with two sidewalls 21 and 22. However, in other possible embodiments of the present invention, the hump portion can be formed as a flange with only one single sidewall.

[0020]The lid surface 30 is connected with the hump portion 20 so as to cover the cup. In present embodiment, the lid surface 30 is step-like. More spe...

Abstract

A disposable cup lid of the present invention includes an engaging portion, a hump portion, a lid surface, and a connection opening. The engaging portion is used for engaging with a cup. At least part of the hump portion is formed annularly inside of the engaging portion. The lid surface is connected to the hump portion. The connection opening is defined on the lid surface, and said connection opening is used to communicate with an interior of the cup. The hump portion is adjacent to the hump portion. A top of the hump portion is higher than the connection opening, and a vertical distance from the top of the hump portion to the connection opening is between 4 to 30 millimeters.

Description
