Blow-through cooling vented beverage lid

Abstract

A removable vented lid comprising a top, a base, and a convex annular side wall. An annular mounting portion with an inner lip and an overlapping outer lip engage a rim of a cup. An outer lip flares outward from the cup extending from than the inner lip for assisting the user in aligning the lid with the cup. A removable vented lid including an annular side wall extends upwardly from amounting portion of the lid. A top wall extends across a top of the vented lid having a generally circular periphery. An opening is formed in the lid adjacent to a periphery of the top wall. A first baffle extends downward from an underside of the top wall centered with the opening and inset from the annular side wall having a base disposed radially inward of a far side of the opening. A first baffle and opposing second baffle are arced concentrically with the annular side wall and flares radially outward at an angle overlapping a selected effective area of the opening and extends a distance no greater than the length of the annular side wall.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A removable vented lid, comprising
 a top, a base, and a convex annular side wall;   an annular mounting portion with an inner lip and an overlapping outer lip engaging a rim of a cup;   an outer lip flaring outward from said cup extending from than the inner lip for assisting the user in aligning the lid with said cup;   a vented lid including an annular side wall extending upwardly from amounting portion of said lid;   a top wall extending across a top of said vented lid having a generally circular periphery;   a drink opening adjacent to a periphery of said top wall;   a first baffle extending downward from an underside of said top wall centered with said drinking opening and inset from said annular side wall having a base disposed radially inward of a far side of said drink opening, said first baffle is arced concentrically with said annular side wall and flaring radially outward at an angle sufficient to overlap a selected effective area of a projected area of said drinking opening and extending a distance no greater than the length of said annular side wall, most preferably no greater than 50 percent of the length of the annular side wall; and   a second baffle opposing said first baffle, said second baffle extending downward from an underside of said top wall centered with said drinking opening and inset from said annular side wall having a base disposed radially inward of a far side of said drink opening, said first baffle is arced concentrically with said annular side wall and flaring radially outward at an angle sufficient to overlap a selected effective area of a projected area of said drinking opening and extending a distance no greater than the length of said annular side wall, most preferably no greater than 50 percent of the length of the annular side wall.   
     
     
         2 . The removable vented lid of  claim 1 , further including a recessed circular region of a top face concentric with an annular side wall recessed inwardly forming a concave region with respect to an outer portion of said lid.
