The invention comprises a peelable membrane for resealably closing a metal end comprising an outer layer, a tacky layer, and a heat seal layer. The heat seal layer is permanently sealed to the metal end to cover at least one opening in the metal end. The tacky layer causes the peelable membrane to be resealable onto the metal end.

A seamless can having a bottom section and a body section, wherein a thermoplastic resin coating is formed on an outer surface side of the can over a polyester-based paint film. The polyester-based paint film includes a polyester-based paint composition which contains a colorant in an amount of 20 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of a total resin solid content and a curing agent in an amount of 5 to 43 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of a polyester resin, and an entire outer surface of the can including the bottom section is colored. Also disclosed is a resin-coated metal sheet for forming a seamless can including the thermoplastic resin coating that is applied over a polyester-based paint film on a surface of the metal sheet, the polyester-based paint film having a thickness of 7 μm or less.

Removable closure device for metal containers comprising a lid delimited by a peripheral edge; a tab having a connecting end connected to the lid near a first portion of the peripheral edge and extending along a longitudinal direction towards a second portion of the peripheral edge opposite the first portion, and having a grip end opposite the connecting end located between the first and the second portions of the peripheral edge; two stiffening elements placed on the lid on opposite sides with respect to the tab, each of which comprises: an inner wall having a first curved section closely surrounding the grip end of the tab and having the concavity facing the tab, and an outer wall extending along the longitudinal direction between a first and a second tip, respectively facing the first and the second portions of the peripheral edge. The tangents to the outer walls of each stiffening element at the second tip converge near the second portion of the peripheral edge.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for holding a Cannabis product, such as a beverage container having a resealable closure that remains affixed to the beverage container when in both an open position and a closed position, where a cavity within the container comprises at least two servings of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The resealable closure optionally includes a slideable/rotatable element that is slideable/rotatable along a horizontal plane relative to an upper surface of the beverage container, the slideable/rotatable closure element alternatingly closing an opening in the lid when in a first position and allowing access through the opening when in a second position. The resealable container in combination with graphical THC serving size indicators allows a consumer to consume a known amount of THC.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for forming a Cannabis product, comprising the steps of: preparing a tetrahydrocannabinol emulsion comprising particles, the particles comprising: (1) a first peak concentration of the particles, as a function of particle size, less than nine hundred nanometers in diameter; and (2) a second peak concentration of the particles greater than nine hundred nanometers in diameter and adding the tetrahydrocannabinol emulsion to at least one of: an edible, a beverage, an additive for use in a vape cartridge, and a pre-roll, where a mixer is used to form the particles containing tetrahydrocannabinol and where the particles comprise at least one of: a micelle comprising the tetrahydrocannabinol; a droplet of the tetrahydrocannabinol; a lipid bilayer cell comprising the tetrahydrocannabinol; a mixed droplet of both the tetrahydrocannabinol and an oil; and the tetrahydrocannabinol and at least one-tenth of a percent ethanol.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for forming a Cannabis product, comprising the steps of: combining tetrahydrocannabinol and ethanol to form a THC-alcohol compound, the THC-alcohol compound comprising less than fifty percent water by mass and subjecting the THC-alcohol compound to a shear force in excess of 100 or 50,000 sec.sup.−1. Optionally and preferably, formation of the Cannabis product results after successive steps of reducing viscosity of the tetrahydrocannabinol compound, such as by 2000+ cP and 20+ cP, or after reversing a first viscosity reducing step of 2000+ cP with a subsequent viscosity increase of 2000+ cP, such as in the formation of a THC containing drink, edible, vape pen solution, or preroll.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for holding a Cannabis product, such as a soda or a beverage, comprising: a container comprising a cavity at least partially enclosed within a base and at least one side extending upwards from the base; an emulsion in the cavity, the emulsion comprising at least: water and tetrahydrocannabinol; and a label on the at least one side, the label comprising a set of at least three graphical serving size indicators correspondingly positioned at at least three differing vertical locations from the base, where a mean particle size of the beverage is preferably less than one thousand nanometers in diameter.

The invention comprises an apparatus, comprising: (1) a dissolvable tablet, comprising: a support matrix, the support matrix comprising at least two percent by mass a gassing agent, the gassing agent comprising at least one of: a carbonic acid, H.sub.2CO.sub.3; a bicarbonate, HCO.sub.3; a bicarbonate salt; a carbonate, CO.sub.3.sup.2−; and a carbonate salt; and (2) at least one milligram of tetrahydrocannabinol, where the dissolvable tablet optionally includes an acid and a buffer at least partially separating the gassing agent and the acid, where the tetrahydrocannabinol is blended into the support matrix of the dissolvable tablet prior to formation of the dissolvable tablet and/or is infused into a pre-made tablet comprising the support matrix.

The inventive technology includes a novel container dome profile and manufacturing process for improving container and bottle deformation failure resistance and extending material displacement modes through an initial deformation panel coordinated with complimentary geometric paneling and buttressing structures configured to initiate a controlled sequential dome profile deformation mode. Dome reversal, dome growth, and dome drop resistance characteristics are improved with a shallower profile formation depth, reducing pulldown, and lowering material consumption, resulting in lower overall container/bottle weight. Novel geometric contoured shapes enhance container resistance performance, supporting use of softer alloys or lower temper and yield strength to benefit post-processing efficiency and forming processes improvements while being configured to initiate controlled sequential dome profile deformation.
