ABSTRACT:
A spill resistant lid is adapted to be removably and securely attached to an open-topped beverage container. The lid is formed with a generally cylindrical wall and floor which define a closure member over the beverage container when the lid is placed thereon. The floor of the closure member includes a liquid dispensing hole located in or adjacent the cylindrical wall, and a pressure equalization hole diagonally opposite the liquid dispensing hole. In order to aid a user in locating the liquid dispensing hole solely by feel, as in total darkness, the lid includes a generally semi-funnel shaped dispensing spout formed in the generally cylindrical wall in radial alignment with, and adjacent, the liquid dispensing hole. The floor defining the closure member of the lid is inclined downwardly toward the liquid dispensing hole, so that any residual liquid left in the reservoir will gravity drain back into the beverage container. The liquid dispensing spout includes a raised semi circular edge which assists the user in locating the dispensing spout, and therefore the liquid dispensing hole.
