Abstract
A lid assembly for use with a beverage container which retains and dispenses beverages therefrom. The container includes a body having a reservoir chamber and a mouth communicating with the reservoir chamber. The lid assembly is cooperatively attachable to the body of the container for selectively closing the mouth. The lid assembly includes an exterior segment and an interior segment which are spaced apart and define a lid chamber therebetween. A breathing vent is provided in the exterior segment for communication between the outside atmosphere and the lid chamber. An anti-spill vent is provided with the vent for preventing leakage of liquid therethrough when the container is tipped. A second vent extends between the interior segment and communicates with the lid chamber for passing atmosphere between the reservoir chamber and the lid chamber.
