The open ended container with resealable lid combination has a seal ring which cooperates with a seal engagement surface to provide a resealable construction to provide at least one of an airtight and watertight configuration after the lid has initially been removed from the container and re-applied. The seal engagement surface preferably provides at least two ramps and the seal ring deforms along at least one, if not both of the ramps.

Described is a containment device for holding a container that defines a container interior volume. The containment device can include a base portion enclosing a base portion interior volume, the base portion including: a plurality of base walls, a trough extending from at least one of the base walls, and a substantially horizontal support surface adapted to support the container above the base portion interior volume. The base portion interior volume can be equal to or greater than the container interior volume. An enclosure can extend above the base portion, the enclosure including a plurality of enclosure walls adapted to surround the container. The enclosure walls can define an opening above the trough, the opening adapted for insertion of the container into the enclosure.

A coated metal sheet further covered with an organic resin obtained by forming, on at least one surface of a metal sheet, a coating film and further forming thereon an organic resin layer. The coating film contains a polyester resin having a glass transition temperature of 20 to 55° C., a phenol resin and an acid catalyst, in order to be able to provide the coated metal sheet further covered with the organic resin that is suited for producing cans and can lids having excellent applicability for producing cans and excellent dent resistance.

An apparatus includes a drinking container and a lid. The lid encircles a portion of the drinking container, and includes a body and a rim. The body is formed of an elastomeric material and defines a hollow pocket with an open end and an aperture or scored region. The rim is formed of the elastomeric material and defines a ring running about the open end. Lids in accordance with aspects of the invention are capable of capturing and suspending straws, and preventing spills.

A resin-coated metal sheet for can lids includes a metal sheet coated with thermoplastic resin films on both surfaces and formed into a can lid. A thermoplastic resin film A based on polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is heat-fused on a surface of the metal sheet serving as an exterior surface of the can lid, and a thermoplastic resin film B based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is heat-fused on a surface of the metal sheet serving as an interior surface of the can lid. A composition ratio (wt %) of PBT/PET in the thermoplastic resin film A on the exterior surface is (PBT/PET)=(40/60) to (80/20), and the thermoplastic resin film B on the interior surface includes 95 mol % or more of PET.
