US Patent 9380898 Lid having collapsible straw for bottle

A lid connected to a container or body portion of a bottle includes: a base defining a channel; a cover in communication with a top of the channel; a lid-latch configured to releasably engage the cover and hold the cover proximate the top of the channel; and a tube defining a conduit housed in the channel and coupled to the base. At least a portion of the tube is resiliently collapsible so as to bias the cover away from the top of the channel.
