A disposable cup lid including a body and a mounting portion extending around the periphery of the body. The body defines a suitably shaped clearance area to accommodate a person's nose when drinking the contents of a cup having the lid positioned thereon. The body also defines an enhanced drinking area which is suitably configured to provide a person with a drinking experience more similar to the drinking experience of drinking from an uncovered cup or glass. In one embodiment, the body includes a raised portion which defines a lip engaging front wall and an enhanced drinking area. The enhanced drinking area includes a closure member having an upwardly extending gripping member and a drink-through opening initially covered by the closure member, wherein the drink-through opening is positioned substantially adjacent to the lip engaging front wall. The closure member is movable about a hinge from an initial closed position to an open position. The closure member of the top wall is also movable into a locking position wherein the gripping member frictionally engages the walls of a locking recess.

The invention is claimed as follows: 1. A disposable cup lid attachable to a drinking cup, said disposable cup lid comprising: a body including a floor extending in a first plane and a raised portion extending from the floor, said raised portion including: an arcuate lip engaging front wall, a rear wall, a plurality of spaced apart side walls connected to the lip engaging front wall and the rear wall, and a top wall connected to the lip engaging front wall, the side walls, and the rear wall, said top wall extending downward from a top of the lip engaging front wall at a first acute angle relative to a plane parallel with the first plane and said top wall extending downward from a top of from said rear wall at a second different angle, wherein said top wall includes a closure member section including a closure member defined by a hinge and first and second spaced apart edges, a first end of the first edge of said closure member which is opposite of the hinge extends from the floor a greater distance along a first line which is perpendicular to the first plane than a distance that a second, opposite end of said first edge of said closure member which is adjacent to the hinge extends from the floor along a second line which is perpendicular to the first plane; and a cup mounting portion extending around a periphery of the body. 2. The disposable cup lid of claim 1, wherein the closure member is also defined by a third edge which joins the first end of the first edge and a first end of the second edge which is opposite of the hinge. 3. The disposable cup lid of claim 2, wherein a drink-through opening is configured to be accessible by tearing back said closure member up to said hinge and folding back said closure member about said hinge. 4. The disposable cup lid of claim 3, wherein the third edge which defines the closure member has a length less than a width between the first and second spaced apart edges which define the closure member. 5. The disposable cup lid of claim 1, wherein the top wall includes a locking recess section that defines a locking recess including two spaced apart side walls and a locking recess floor. 6. The disposable cup lid of claim 5, wherein the spaced apart side walls of the locking recess extend from the top wall toward the locking recess floor and toward each other. 7. The disposable cup lid of claim 1, wherein the closure member section of the top wall and the lip engaging front wall define a steam collection area under the top wall. 8. The disposable cup lid of claim 1, wherein the lip engaging front wall is curved in two different planes. 9.
