Benefits of technology

[0005]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a cup lid, which can allow the user to put additives therethrough into a cup without uncovering the cup lid for fewer chances of overspill of beverage.
[0006]The secondary objective of the present invention is to provide a cup lid, which can limit the flow of the beverage for fewer chances of burning the user's mouth.
[0008]In light of the above, the user can put additives, like creamer or sugar, through the drinking hole straight into the beverage. The additives can be guided by the guiding portion to fall into the cup body through the through hole. When the user drinks got beverage, the hot beverage is blocked by the guiding portion to flow out of the relatively smaller through hole other than the relatively bigger opening for the purpose of limitation to the flow of the beverage to prevent it from burning the user's mouth, such that the present invention is operational convenient and safe.

Problems solved by technology

Because the drinking hole is small, it is very difficult for the user to put additives, like creamer or sugar, straight into the cup through the drinking hole.
However, it is still inconvenient for the user to do so and it is subject to accidental overset of the beverage to either stain clothes or interior furnishing of the car or even burn the user to be very annoying.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]Referring to FIGS. 1-4, a cup lid 10 constructed according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of a lid body 11. The lid body 11 includes a fastening portion 12 extending downward from a peripheral edge thereof for fastening the cup lid 10 onto a cup body 20. The lid body 11 includes a drinking hole 13, a vent hole 14, and a drinking portion 15 formed by that the drinking hole 13 protrudes upward from a top side of the lid body 11. The drinking portion 15 is provided with an opening 151 formed on a top side thereof, a through hole 152 formed at an internal lower side thereof, and an inclined guiding portion 153 formed between the opening 151 and the through hole 152. The opening 151 is bigger than the through hole 152 in diameter.

[0024]The drinking portion 15 protrudes upward from where is close to an external edge of the lid body 11. The opening 151 is provided with two sides, one of which is close to the external edge of the lid body 11 to be...

Abstract

A cup lid is composed of a lid body. The lid body includes a fastening portion extending downward from a peripheral edge thereof for fastening the cup lid onto a cup body. The lid body includes a drinking hole and a vent hole. The drinking hole protrudes upward from a top side of the lid body to form a drinking portion. The drinking portion is provided with an opening formed on a top side thereof and with a through hole formed at an internal lower side thereof. The opening is bigger than the through hole in diameter. A guiding portion is mounted between the opening and the through hole. Additionally, a plug can pluggably jam the drinking hole.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a disposable cup lid, and more particularly, to a cup lid, which conveniently allows a user to put additives therethrough into a cup.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]The drinking hoe of a conventional disposable cup, like paper cup or plastic cup, is usually small for the purpose of limiting the flow of the hot beverage to prevent the hot beverage from burning the user's mouth and to lessen the chances of accidental overspill of the hot beverage while the user is walking and holding the cup containing the hot beverage. Because the drinking hole is small, it is very difficult for the user to put additives, like creamer or sugar, straight into the cup through the drinking hole. Otherwise, the user may have to uncover the cup lid, then put the additives into the cup, and finally put the cover back to the cup. However, it is still inconvenient for the user to do so and ...
