ABSTRACT:
An improved specialized punch designed to produce, in a single motion, one or more openings through a tough plastic lid of the type used as covers for disposable beverage cups. The punch employs a scissor action and includes a pair of handles having mating jaws one of which has one or more punching dies and the second, an anvil with matching openings arranged in an concave arcuate array. In one embodiment the main jaws include a stop which limits the advance of the jaws onto a lid and properly positions the jaws for piercing the lid. The jaw likewise includes a guide which holds the upstanding rim of the lid for precise positioning during punching. In another embodiment the punch presents the appearance of an office stapler and includes an arcuate shaped male cutting die and a plurality of guide grooves for different size lids.
