Description

ABSTRACT:
An improved drinking lid for a disposable coffee cup having an open top comprising a dome shaped cover having an air vent hole and conforming to the open top of the coffee cup. A peripheral rim is on the cover to engage in a seating manner, a lip on the open top of the coffee cup. A flexible drinking spout is formed in the cover, to allow coffee in the coffee cup to exit therefrom into a mouth of a person. A structure is for shielding the air vent hole in the cover, when the flexible drinking spout is not being used. An element is for coupling the flexible drinking spout to the shielding structure. When the flexible drinking spout is bent over to be used, the shielding structure will open to expose the air vent hole, to enable the coffee in the cup to better exit the flexible drinking spout.
