ABSTRACT:
A container lid can be used for open-mouthed containers having a peripheral curl about the rim of the container. This peripheral curl defines a rim receiving cavity which may be snap fit over the rim of the container to attach the lid to the container. The container may thereafter be effectively closed by the lid. This lid may additionally have a well having an upwardly sloped portion and a well portion. The well portion has a raised element therein, which can form openings in the lid. In particular, by applying a downward force to a top surface of the raised element, eye-shaped slits may be formed at frangible areas adjacent the corners of this element. These eye-shaped slits permit contents within the container to be discharged therethrough. For instance, a beverage may be held in the container. After applying a downward force to the raised element to form slits in the container lid, the beverage may be discharged through the slits, passed over the sloped portion and then poured and/or ingested therefrom. The sloped portion has a central trough running the length thereof, to aid channelling of the beverage. This lid arrangement may be easily handled and the pressure applied to the element may be applied without extra care and great force. The shape and size of the raised element may be varied in order to vary the size the slits formed and to therefore vary the rate at which the contents of the container may be discharged therethrough.
