AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a lid for a container that enhances the smell of the contents while preventing spills and splashes. The lid has a ridge with a projection that has a slit. The slit can be opened and closed to control the release of the aroma. The projection has a flat top surface that can be pushed to open the slit. This design allows for easier use and control of the lid.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, many consumers on the go are deprived of this olfactory experience because a majority of containers (e.g., beverage containers, soup containers, etc.) have lids that fail to provide an adequate means of smelling the aroma of the beverage.
Unfortunately, this approach appears to increase the risk of spilling by having a scent aperture.
Other problems with lid designs have led to additional lid designs.
Such motion causes a rupture of the material adjacent to corners of the protrusion.

Embodiment Construction

[0028]The following discussion provides example embodiments of the inventive subject matter. Although each embodiment represents a single combination of inventive elements, the inventive subject matter is considered to include all possible combinations of the disclosed elements. Thus if one embodiment comprises elements A, B, and C, and a second embodiment comprises elements B and D, then the inventive subject matter is also considered to include other remaining combinations of A, B, C, or D, even if not explicitly disclosed.

[0029]Also, as used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term “coupled to” is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms “coupled to” and “coupled with” are used synonymously.

[0030]FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a lid 100 that can be coupled to a contain...

Abstract

A lid that enhances the olfactory experience of a user while providing safeguards against accidental spills and splashes is contemplated. The lid comprises a projection having at least one slit. The projection can extend above a valley of the lid in a first configuration, and extend below the valley in a second configuration. It is contemplated that at least one slit of the projection widens in the second configuration to create a larger opening for aroma to be received by the user.
