ABSTRACT:
A reusable lid for a beverage cup or can [10] includes a round flat cover plate [20] which covers the rim of the cup to prevent dirt and insects from entering. The cover plate is held in place by a rubber torsion rod [30] which attaches perpendicularly to the plate near the edge. The other end of the rod is attached to a suction cup [40] which holds to the side of the cup. The plate is normally in a position to close the cup; it is shown displaced to one side in the drawing, as when drinking. The plate is pushed to one side with a finger. The rubber rod returns the plate to the closed position upon release. A strap with VELCRO buckle, or an elastic band around the cup, may substitute for the suction cup. The torsion rod may also be permanently attached to the cup.
