Slidz

Abstract

It is well known that people like to enjoy beverages on the go. Most people will make a drink they cannot finish and have to either transfer the beverage to a "to-go" cup, pouring the beverage out or taking the beverage with them, risking spilling it, as they transport themselves to another location. The essence of the invention is that it allows most cups and mugs to be converted to a "to-go" style beverage without the need of transferring the beverage to another drinking device. This is achieved by having a stretchable silicone that fits inside the cup. Slidz means slide-in-lid that fits most cups and mugs of different diameters. It is made of a silicone material and functions to make cups/mugs "to go". It has two holes to allow for sipping and air flow and is flexible to adjust to different sized of cup interiors.

11. A device comprising a disc about 80.5 mm in diameter, a strip of material that encircles and encloses the outer edge of the disc, wherein the strip has a length of about 14 mm and lies at an angle of about 100 to 110 degrees with respect to the plane of the disc, and wherein there are two extrusions on opposite sides of the disc that each have holes, allowing for liquid to pass through the holes so that the disc may be placed in a standard cup, allowing the encircling strip of material to rest against the side of the cup and support the device, wherein the angles and lengths of the edges enable the disc to securely fit into apparatuses that accept the diameter of the disc, while liquid from the cup can pass through one of the holes if the cup is tilted.
