Abstract
A pop-up straw closure for liquid containers comprising a lid having an upper wall and circular side wall adapted to be threaded on the liquid container. The upper wall includes an upstanding hollow cylinder within which is held a flexible straw extending above and below the lid. A dome is rotatably secured to the lid and includes an elongated orifice. The upper end of the straw extends through the orifice when mated therewith and is folded by the dome when not mated with the orifice. When in use, a further straw is inserted in the lower section of the flexible straw such that it extends into the liquid container.
