Abstract
A container lid for use to drink liquid from a drinking container using a hydration tube. The container lid has a cap member that attaches to the container, a coupling aperture through the cap member, a female coupling positioned in the coupling aperture, a male insert that is removably received in the female coupling and a check valve in the cap member. The hydration tube attaches to an upwardly extending barb of the male insert and an internal straw attaches to a downwardly extending barb of the female coupling to extend into the interior of the container. The male insert has a sealing section with a sealing device that is sealably received in a receptacle of the female coupling. The container lid allows the user to easily, quickly and without leaking remove the hydration tube from the lid to replace an empty drinking container with a full drinking container.
