Abstract
A cleanable lid assembly is provided for a beverage container. The lid assembly has a lid housing having a drink aperture positioned at least partially radially exterior of the connection member. The lid assembly also has a seal assembly. The seal assembly has a hinge member connected to the lid housing, a seal arm connected to the hinge member, and a drink seal connected to the seal arm. The seal assembly is connected to the lid housing while movable between a first or operable position and a second or cleaning position. The seal arm traverses both generally radially and generally axially to extend the drink seal to the drink aperture as the seal assembly transitions to the first position.
