In accordance with the invention, thin bodies of plastic, such as sheets
or strands, with substantially different thermal coefficients of
expansion, are laminated together to make plastic bodies that move in
response to temperature change. The thermally movable plastic can be
secured to a suitable base to make a variety of devices. In one
embodiment, the thermally moveable plastic can be used in a beverage
safety lid. The safety lid is particularly useful as a lid for hot
drinks, such as hot coffee, soups and other foods.
