Claim 0:
1. A low-profile liquid container lid assembly for enabling liquid collection and heat transfer from lid-collected liquid prior to liquid egression, the low-profile liquid container lid assembly comprising:
a lower lid construction, the lower lid construction comprising a lower rim-receiving groove, an upper edge-receiving groove, and a liquid-collecting pan portion, the liquid-collecting pan portion comprising at least one liquid-letting aperture, the lower rim-receiving groove for removably fastening the lower lid construction to an upper container rim of a liquid container, the liquid-collecting pan portion comprising upper portion surfacing; and
an upper lid construction, the upper lid construction being receivable by the lower lid construction and comprising a pan-opposing portion, an outer peripheral edge, and a primary liquid outlet, the pan-opposing portion comprising lower portion surfacing, the upper and lower portion surfacing together defining a liquid-receiving cavity when the upper lid construction is received by the lower lid construction, the liquid-receiving cavity for receiving and shaping a liquid volume receivable therein via the at least one liquid-letting aperture;
the upper lid construction being rotatably nestable atop the lower lid construction for enabling a user to rotate the upper lid construction about a lid axis of rotation relative to the lower lid construction for selectively orienting the primary liquid outlet in superior adjacency to the at least one liquid-letting aperture, the primary liquid outlet being orientable in superior adjacency to the lower lid construction for outletting a portion of the liquid volume via the primary liquid outlet;
the outer peripheral edge being rotatably received in the upper edge-receiving groove for rotatably attaching the upper lid construction to the lower lid construction, the upper edge-receiving groove radially and outwardly engaging a container wall of the liquid container via a wall-engaging ridge for reducing leakage.
