FIG. 1 is a rear, top, left side, perspective view of a lid for a beverage container.
FIG. 2 is a front elevation view of the lid in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a rear elevation view of the lid in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a right side elevation view of the lid in FIG. 1, the left side elevation view being a mirror image.
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the lid in FIG. 1.
FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view of the lid in FIG. 1; and,
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 7-7 of FIG. 2, shown at an enlarged scale.
The dominant features of my design reside in the lid's basin, which comprises a valley surrounded by angled walls. The basin ridge slopes downward from the front to the rear of the basin.
