Container closure

Abstract

A closure for a container, such as a water bottle, includes a recess in the body of the closure and a hinged lid that can be latched to secure the contents of the recess. A mirror is placed on the interior of the lid and is exposed whenever the lid is open. If cosmetics are stored in the recess, the mirror is useful in the application of such cosmetics.
