Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a drink cup lid showing my new design;



FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view thereof;



FIG. 3 is another bottom perspective view thereof;



FIG. 4 is a side view thereof;



FIG. 5 is a top plan view thereof;



FIG. 6 is a bottom view thereof;



FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view thereof taken along line 7-7 of FIG. 5;



FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view thereof taken along line 8-8 of FIG. 5; and,



FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view thereof taken along line 9-9 of FIG. 5.


The broken lines are shown for the purpose of illustrating both parts of the article as well as the designation of partially enlarged cross sectional views. None of the broken lines form part of the claimed design. Each cross sectional view shows a single beverage selector of the drink cup lid; however, it should be appreciated that all of the beverage selectors have the same shape.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for a drink cup lid, as shown and described.
