Abstract
This invention is directed to a combination air vent and ice screen for liquid containers. The invention comprises an insert which fits into a liquid beverage container through the opening of the lid and is positioned on the inside of the lid. The insert prevents ice cubes from blocking the flow of liquid by means of a screen at the bottom of the insert. The insert also introduces air into the container by means of a channel which extends along the container opening and laterally along the side of the container lid. When pouring liquid from the container, only liquid passes through the screen while at the same time air is allowed to enter the container through the aforedescribed opening.
