Abstract
A mug and lid combination comprises a lid having a cylindrical wall and a plurality of retaining means. Each retaining means comprises two longitudinal slits provided along the cylindrical wall and extending from a bottom edge of the cylindrical wall to a mid-section of the cylindrical wall, the two slits defining a portion of the cylindrical wall therebetween. The retaining means further comprises a protrusion provided on the external surface of the portion of the cylindrical wall between the slits. The combination further comprises a mug comprising a hollow section for holding liquids, and a lip section at the mouth of the mug. The mug further includes a concave ring section connected to the lip section of the mug at a neck, the concave ring section having a central diameter greater than the diameter of the neck. The concave ring section is adapted to receive the protrusions. The portions of the cylindrical wall between the slits may be flexed to allow the protrusions to be passed through the neck and to be removably fitted in the concave ring section.
