Claim Text:
1. A lid comprising: 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; a tube defining a conduit housed in the channel and coupled to the base, at least a portion of the tube being resiliently collapsible so as to bias the cover away from the top of the channel; and a nipple coupled to the tube, the nipple configured to restrictively allow fluid flow through the conduit, wherein when the cover is moved from an open position to a closed position in which the cover engages the lid-latch, the nipple moves in a perpendicular direction relative to the lid, thereby collapsing inner walls of the tube to prevent fluid flow.
