ABSTRACT:
The lid with re-closable spout invention can be used with a hot and/or cold beverage container or other fluid container. The lid fits onto the container as is known in the art. The lid includes a spout formed on the lid and extending from the lid which allows one to access the contents of the fluid container. The spout can be positioned in a closed position wherein it is folded in to prevent the contents of the fluid container from exiting the spout. The spout may be locked into a closed position. In a second, open position, the spout is folded out to allow the fluid within the fluid container to be poured out of the fluid container through the spout. After use and/or between uses, the spout can be re-closed and re-sealed. The spout can be any desired configuration including generally square or rectangular, or generally cylindrical. The sealing means can be a zipper-type engagement formed on the upper edge of the spout.
