First Embodiment
[0041] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, which are a perspective view
and a top view of a cup lid, and a side view of the cup lid on a
cup according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.
The present disclosure provides a cup lid, which not only has a
function of sealing an opening of a cup, but also an additional
function of retaining a communication device, such as mobile phone,
or tablet computer, in a propped-up state, so as to increase the
value and the usable frequency of the cup lid. Therefore, the
amount of disposed cup lid can be reduced to benefit the
environment. As shown in FIG. 1, the cup lid includes a main body
10, a spout section 20, a first leaning seat 30 and a second
leaning seat 40. The main body 10 of this embodiment has a top wall
and a rim engaging portion to engage with a cup. The spout section
20 is disposed between the first leaning seat 30 and the second
leaning seat 40. The first leaning seat 30, the second leaning seat
40, and the spout section 20 are spaced away from each other. It is
preferable that the first leaning seat 30 and the second leaning
seat 40 are symmetrical to each other. In addition, the first
leaning seat 30 the second leaning seat 40 are symmetrical to each
other about a center of the spout section 20. The spout section 20
is preferably disposed at a center of the top wall of the main body
10. The spout section 20 is protrudedly formed on the top wall of
the main body 10 and has a supporting portion 22. The first leaning
seat 30 is protrudedly formed on the top wall of the main body 10.
Two ends of the first leaning seat 30 respectively have a first

first leaning line L1. A first clamping interval A1 is formed
between the first leaning line L1 and the supporting portion 22.
The second leaning seat 40 is protrudedly formed on the top wall of
the main body 10. Two ends of the second leaning seat 40
respectively have a second leaning end 41, and the two second
leaning ends 41 are aligned in a second leaning line L2. A second
clamping interval A2 is formed between the second leaning line L2
and the supporting portion 22. The first clamping interval A1 or
the second clamping interval A2 allows a user to put a
communication device 300, such as a smartphone, to be retained in a
prop-up state, as shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, the cup lid of the
present disclosure allows the user to put a smartphone in a
propped-up state in two different directions selectively, so as to
show another user the screen of the smartphone, without rotating
the cup lid or cup, to avoid spilling the cup. Preferably, the main
body 10, the spout section 20, the first leaning seat 30 and the
second leaning seat 40 are integrally formed in one piece. In
addition, the spout section 20 is disposed between the first
leaning line L1 and the second leaning line L2. The spout section
20 is formed with a drink-through hole 21, as shown in FIG. 4, to
allow a suction tube inserted therein.
[0042] An additional note is that, the first clamping interval A1
and the second clamping interval A2 are varied according to the
shapes and sizes of the spout section 20, the first leaning seat 30
and the second leaning seat 40, or varied according to the
configurated positions of the spout section 20 on the main body 10.
For example, when the first leaning seat 30 and the second leaning
seat 40 have identical shape and size arranged annularly in an
equidistant manner, and the spout section 20 of column-shaped is
disposed on a center defined annularly by the first leaning seat 30
and the second leaning seat 40, the first clamping interval A1 and
the second clamping interval A2 are identical.
[0043] The top wall of the main body 10 further has a protruded
circumferential skirt 11. The spout section 20 is disposed in an
inner region surrounded by the circumferential skirt 11. The first
leaning seat 30 and the second leaning seat 40 are disposed on the
circumferential skirt 11. The first leaning seat 30 and the second
leaning seat 40 are arc-shaped. The two first leaning ends 31 of
the arc-shaped first leaning seat 30 respectively are formed with a
first chamfer surface 311, and an acute angle is defined between
the first chamfer surface 311 and an inner edge of the
circumferential skirt 11. The two second leaning ends 41 of the
second leaning seat 40 respectively are formed with a second
chamfer surface 411, and an acute angle is defined between the
second chamfer surface 411 and an inner edge of the circumferential
skirt 11. In addition, the spout section 20 can be designed as a
cone with a planar top surface. An arc length of the first leaning
seat 30 is the same as an arc length of the second leaning seat 40.
The spout section 20 is disposed at a central position between the
first leaning seat 30 and the second leaning seat 40. An
supplementary note it that, the first chamfer surface 311 and the
second chamfer surface 411 are provided to clamp a smartphone
firmly.
[0044] Reference is made to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The communication
device 300 can be clamped in the first clamping interval A1 or the
second clamping interval A2 in different directions. A height of
the spout section 20 is higher than a height of the first leaning
seat 30, and is higher than a height of the second leaning seat 40,
so that the communication device 300 is propped up in an
inclination angle .theta.1 when being disposed in the first
clamping interval A1 or the second clamping interval A2. Therefore,
it is more conveniently for a user to watch the smartphone, when
the cup lid is covered on a cup 200. The supporting portion 22 has
an outer periphery 222. When the communication device 300 is
disposed in the first clamping interval A1 or the second clamping
interval A2, the outer periphery 222 provides the communication
device 300 a supporting force, so that the communication device 300
can be propped up in the first clamping interval A1 or the second
clamping interval A2. A length of the first clamping interval A1 is
substantially equal to a length of the second clamping interval A2.
In this condition, the communication device 300 can be arranged in
the inclination angle .theta.1 identically, in the first clamping
interval A1 and the second clamping interval A2. Specifically, the
first clamping interval A1 is formed between the first leaning line
L1 and the outer periphery 222, and the second clamping interval A2
is formed between the second leaning line L2 and the outer
periphery 222. When the spout section 20 is a cone with a planar
top surface, the outer periphery 222 is annular wall connected the
planar top surface.
Second Embodiment
[0045] Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 5, which are a top view of a cup
lid and a side view of the cup lid on a cup according to a second
embodiment of the present disclosure. In the second embodiment, the
spout section 20 is a cone with a planar top surface. The first
leaning seat 30 and the second leaning seat 40 are arc-shaped with
identical size, and are all disposed on the main body 10. The first
leaning seat 30 and the second leaning seat 40 are formed on the
circumferential skirt 11 and spaced away from each other. The spout
section 20 is disposed on a non-central position of an inner region
surrounded by the first leaning seat 30 and the second leaning seat
40. In addition, the spout section 20 is close to the second
leaning seat 40, so that a length of the first clamping interval A1
is larger than a length of the second clamping interval A2.
Accordingly, the communication device 300 can be propped up in
different inclination angle, when the communication device 300 is
respectively disposed in the first clamping interval A1 and the
second clamping interval A2. For example, the communication device
300 is suitable for being watched, when the communication device
300 is disposed in the first clamping interval A1; or the
communication device 300 is suitable for selfie photographing or
video calling, when the communication device 300 is disposed in the
second clamping interval A2. The cup lid of this embodiment can
result in two different inclination angles, so that it increases
the functionality of the cup lid and the additional value of the
cup lid.
Third Embodiment
[0046] Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, which are a perspective view
and a top view of the cup lid according to a third embodiment of
the present disclosure. In the third embodiment, the spout section
20 is a cone with a planner top surface. The main body 10 has three

of the second clamping interval A2 is larger than a length of the
third clamping interval A3. The cup lid of this embodiment allows a
user to dispose the communication device 300 in the first clamping
interval A1, the second clamping interval A2, or the third clamping
interval A3 in three different inclination angles, respectively.
Therefore, it increases the functionalities and the additional
value of the cup lid. A special explanation is that, the third
clamping interval A3 is formed between the third leaning line L3
and the outer periphery 222.
Fifth Embodiment
[0048] Referring to FIG. 9, which is a perspective view of the cup
lid according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure. In
the fifth embodiment, the spout section 20 is a polygon pyramid
having a plurality of slanted lateral surfaces 221. The main body
10 has three arc-shaped leaning seats of identical size, which are
the first leaning seat 30, the second leaning seat 40 and the third
leaning seat 50. The first leaning seat 30, the second leaning seat
40 and the third leaning seat 50 are arranged annularly in an
equidistant manner. The spout section 20 is disposed in a central
position of a region surrounded by the first leaning seat 30, the
second leaning seat 40 and the third leaning seat 50. The first
leaning seat 30, the second leaning seat 40 and the third leaning
seat 50 respectively face one of the slanted lateral surfaces 221.
In addition, the slanted lateral surfaces 221 have different
inclinations, so as to form different lengths of the first clamping
interval A1, the second clamping interval A2 and the third clamping
interval A3, respectively, between the spout section 20 and the
first leaning seat 30, the second leaning seat 40, and the third
leaning seat 50. Accordingly, the smartphone can be propped up in
three different inclination angles. It therefore increases the
functionalities and the additional value of the cup lid.
[0049] In conclusion, the cup lid of the present disclosure has the
spout section and a plurality of leaning seats which are formed on
the top wall of the main body and spacing away from each other, and
forms a plurality of clamping intervals between the spout section
and the leaning seats for retaining a communication device in a
propped-up state, so as to shown a user the screen of the
communication device. In addition, the present disclosure can
provide different clamping intervals between the spout section and
the leaning seats, respectively, so as to retain the mobile phone
in different propped-up angles, to increase the convenience of
use.
