Abstract

A lid assembly of the present invention is used for clipping a rim flange of a cup. The lid assembly includes a lower member and an upper member. The lower member has a top clipping surface. The upper member has a bottom clipping surface. The upper member is detachably disposed on the lower member. The rim flange is clipped between the top clipping surface and the bottom clipping surface.
Therefore, the lid assembly can be firmly assembled on a cup, even though the specification of the cup is slightly changed. Moreover, the lid assembly can not be detached unpredictably.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a lid assembly, more particularly to a lid assembly which is used for clipping a rim flange of a cup.
  • 2. Description of the Prior Art
  • Conventional lids are used for covering cups. Some lids are able to engage with rim flanges of the cups so as to be fixed on the cups.
  • However, producer who produces lids may meet a problem that huge quantity of specifications must be followed. Each producer of the cups has his own specification. The standards for the size, the thickness, the height and the diameter of the rim flanges of cups are different from provider to provider. To fit the specific specifications of the suppliers, large quantity of products and molds must be prepared. As a result, the cost of producing and storing are inevitably raised.
  • In addition, lids are sometimes not well secured with cups, so that lids may be detached from cups unpredictably. For instance, cups are softened when hot drink is contained therein. As a result, hot drinks may be splashed on people around since lids or cups fall out.
  • The present invention is, therefore, arisen to obviate or at least mitigate the above mentioned disadvantages.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The main object of the present invention is to provide a lid which is able to be firmly engaged with a cup.
  • To achieve the above and other objects, a lid assembly is disclosed. The lid assembly of the present is used for clipping a rim flange of a cup. The lid assembly includes a lower member and an upper member.
  • The lower member includes an annular clipping portion and a holding portion. The holding portion stretches from the clipping portion. The clipping portion has a top clipping surface. An outer contour of the top clipping surface is not smaller than an outer contour of the rim flange.
  • The upper member includes a bottom clipping surface. An outer contour of the bottom clipping surface is not smaller than an inner contour of the rim flange. The upper member is selectively fixed on the lower member, so that the top clipping surface and the bottom clipping surface are able to clip the rim flange therebetween.
  • The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment(s) in accordance with the present invention.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a breakdown drawing showing an embodiment of the present invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a combination drawing showing an embodiment of the present invention;
  • FIG. 3 is a profile showing an embodiment of the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 for a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The lid assembly for a cup of the present embodiment is used for clipping a rim flange 2 of the cup 1. The lid assembly includes a lower member 10 and a upper member 20.
  • The lower member 10 includes an annular clipping portion 11, a holding portion 12 and plurality of upper pressing protrusions 13. The holding portion 12 stretches from the clipping portion 11. Preferably, the holding portion 12 is ring shaped. The holding portion 12 stretches downwardly from the clipping portion 11. In other possible embodiments of the present invention, the holding portion 12 may be formed in other suitable shapes for uses to grab. The clipping portion 11 has a top clipping surface 111, an outer side surface 112 and an inner side surface 113. An outer contour of the top clipping surface 111 is not smaller than an outer contour of the rim flange 2. The outer side surface 112 is threaded. The inner side surface 113 is adapted for an outer surface of a cup body of the cup 1 to smoothly fit therewith. The upper pressing protrusions 13 are disposed upwardly on the top clipping surface 111. The upper pressing protrusions 13 are able to insert in a slit defined between the rim flange 2 and a cup body of the cup 1 when the top clipping surface 111 abuts against the rim flange 2. As such, the cup 1 can be further engaged with the lower member 10.
  • The upper member 20 includes a threaded portion 21, a bottom clipping surface 22 and a lid layer 23. An outer contour of the bottom clipping surface 22 is not smaller than an inner contour of the rim flange 2. The threaded portion 21 is able to be screwed on the outer side surface 112, so that the upper member 20 is selectively fixed on the lower member 10. The top clipping surface 111 and the bottom clipping surface 22 are able to clip the rim flange 2 therebetween. In other possible embodiments of the present invention, the upper member 20 may be fixed on the lower member 10 by other means without threads. The lid layer 23 substantially covers an opening of the cup 1. A hole 24 is defined by the lid layer 23. The hole 24 communicates with an inner space of the cup 1. In the present embodiment, a protruding portion 25 is disposed on an annular edge of the lid layer 23. The bottom clipping surface 22 is located on a bottom surface of the lid layer 23. However, the protruding portion 25 may be omitted in other possible embodiments. Moreover, the upper member 20 may further include several lower pressing protrusions 26. The lower pressing protrusions 26 are disposed on the bottom clipping surface 22. The lower pressing protrusions 26 are used for clamping an inner edge of the rim flange 2.
  • Accordingly, the lid assembly is assembled from two parts, the lower member and the upper member. By means of screwing, the upper member can be gradually fixed on the lower member. As such, the strength of the engagement between the lid assembly and the cup is improved. Moreover, the rim flange is clutched as a gasket. Drinks can be hardly dropped out. Furthermore, the lid assembly can still be firmly engaged with the cup when the specification of the cup is slightly changed. Small tolerance of cups caused by manufacturing is also allowed.
  • In addition, the lid assembly can be provided for users to grab. Users may escape from scalding when hot drink is contained in the cup.
