Patent attributes
A container lid with a food compartment is provided. The lid may be constructed in three parts: an outer food container shell, an inner food container shell and a food compartment cover. The outer food container shell is constructed to fit tightly on a beverage container and has at least one beverage transfer hole that allows the beverage to travel into the outer food container shell. When the inner food container shell is nested into the outer food container shell, a beverage conduit is formed that allows the beverage to travel from the beverage container, through the at least one beverage transfer hole, into the beverage conduit and to a sip hole. Thermoforming may be used to create each of the three parts, and the parts may snap-fit together. Different materials may be used for the parts including black opaque plastic, white opaque plastic and clear plastic.
