Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In a beverage containing topping foods such as ice cream, shaved ice, and fruits, in order to keep the beverage and the topping foods from mixing, it is necessary to prepare a separate container for the topping foods from the beverage container.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] One form disclosed in this specification is a lid for a beverage container. This lid for a beverage container includes a top surface portion that covers the opening of the beverage container, a fitting edge portion that hangs down from the outer peripheral edge of the top surface portion and fits into the outer edge portion of the opening, a straw hole provided in the top surface portion through which a straw passes, and a concave portion that constitutes the central portion of the top surface portion and is recessed downward from the fitting edge portion. According to the lid for a beverage container of this form, it functions as a lid that enables drinking a beverage using a straw, and further functions as an auxiliary container for holding a topping food inside the concave portion. Thereby, the user can hold the beverage and the topping food with one hand and can eat and drink the beverage and the topping food at a desired timing.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] FIG. 1 is a top view showing a lid 100 for a beverage container. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the lid 100 for a beverage container. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the usage state of the lid 100 for a beverage container.

[0008] The lid 100 for a beverage container is a tool for closing the opening 750 of the beverage container 700 so that the beverage does not spill. The beverage container 700 has a cylindrical shape with a circular opening 750. The beverage container 700 may be made of resin or may be made of paper. The beverage container 700 may be transparent or may be opaque.

[0009] The lid 100 for a beverage container is made of a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The lid 100 for a beverage container may be transparent or opaque. The lid 100 for a beverage container includes a top surface portion 110, a fitting edge portion 120, a straw hole 130, and a recess 140.

[0010] The top surface portion 110 of the lid 100 for a beverage container is a portion having a shape that covers the opening of the beverage container. The top surface portion 110 forms a circle corresponding to the opening 750 of the beverage container 700. A recess 140 is provided at the center of the top surface portion 110.

[0011] The fitting edge portion 120 of the lid 100 for a beverage container is a portion that hangs down from the outer peripheral edge of the top surface portion 110. The fitting edge portion 120 forms a shape that fits into the outer edge portion 760 of the opening 750 in the beverage container 700.

[0012] The straw hole 130 of the lid 100 for a beverage container is a through hole provided in the top surface portion 110 through which a straw 800 passes. The number of straw holes 130 may be two or more.

[0013] The recess 140 of the lid 100 for a beverage container is a portion that constitutes the central portion of the top surface portion 110. The recess 140 is recessed downward more than the fitting edge portion 120.

[0014] FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a usage state of the lid 200 for a beverage container in another embodiment. The lid 200 for a beverage container is the same as the lid 100 for a beverage container except that the shapes of the top surface portion 110, the straw hole 130, and the recess 140 are different.

[0015] According to the lids 100 and 200 for a beverage container described above, they function as a lid that enables drinking the beverage 910 using the straw 800, and further function as an auxiliary container for holding the topping food 920 inside the recess 140. As a result, the user can hold the beverage 910 and the topping food 920 with one hand and can eat and drink the beverage 910 and the topping food 920 at a desired timing.

[0016] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be implemented in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features in the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, those corresponding to the technical features in each form described in the column of the outline of the invention can be appropriately replaced and combined in order to solve some or all of the above-described problems, or to achieve some or all of the above-described effects. In addition, technical features not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted.
