`
`
`
`- 26 -
`
`rotating a handle of a beverage container lid in a first rotational direction about a handle axis,
`
`wherein rotating the handle in the first rotational direction causes a closure of the lid to open and
`
`thereby unseal the drinking opening; and
`
`releasing the handle, wherein releasing the handle causes the handle to rotate about the
`
`handle axis in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction while the closure
`
`remains in an open position.
`
`28.
`
`The method of claim 27, wherein the closure of the lid opens by rotating in thefirst rotational
`
`direction about a closure axis.
