ABSTRACT:
A closure lid for beverage containers and the like includes a raised boss portion which is integral with the lid and arranged into a generally curved area and a generally rectangular area. This closure lid further includes a flexible spout member arranged with a base portion and a resilient drinking spout and it is secured within the boss portion of the lid. The base portion of the flexible spout member includes a smaller peripheral edge portion and a larger, upper peripheral edge portion combining to form a lip. The enclosing boss portion is cooperatively contoured so as to rigidly clamp this lip thereby holding the flexible spout member in a fixed orientation relative to the boss portion. The boss portion comprises a closure strip defined by score lines and which is separable from the boss portion by means of a pull ring. Disposed beneath this closure strip is the folded resilient drinking spout portion of the spout member. Upon separating the closure strip from the boss portion, the drinking spout is permitted to freely pivot upwardly and outwardly to a substantially normal orientation relative to the remainder of the closure lid. This upward orientation constitutes an open condition, thus permitting the contents of the container to be withdrawn by the user through this drinking spout.
