A tank for containing e-liquid in an electronic cigarette assembly is disclosed. The tank comprises a cap and a body. The cap is connectable to the body through a screw thread with a specified handedness, and the body is connected to a battery assembly through a second screw thread with an opposite handedness to the screw thread of the cap. A construction of the tank ensures than when opening the cap, the body is not inadvertently unscrewed from the battery, and likewise when removing the body from the battery the cap is not inadvertently unscrewed from the body, thus preventing unintended e-liquid spillage and improving ease of removal of the cap and the body.

A container having a full perimeter lid pressure or tensioning mechanism. The container can also have a removable temperature sensor to monitor an internal compartment temperature. A pressure regulator is also disclosed to regulate a pressure differential and vacuum of the container in order to control an amount of vacuum sealing of the lid to the container.

A cap device includes a body configured to allow the cap device to be removably coupled to a neck of a body of a container. The cap device further includes a seal mounted to the body and configured to form a watertight seal at an opening of the neck when the cap device is coupled to it, so as to preclude a fluid and/or foodstuff contained within an internal volume of the container from contacting the body.

A closure assembly (20) that includes a cap or overcap (28) and a fitment (24) for a container is provided wherein the fitment (24) has a laterally projecting shear member (40), and the overcap (28) has an aperture (74) for initially receiving the shear member (40) when the overcap (28) and fitment (24) are in an initially assembled orientation or condition. The aperture (74) and the shear member (40) cooperate in the initially assembled orientation such that when subjected to a flow of a sterilizing gas, turbulence is created in the sterilizing gas flow to enhance sterilization of the combination. The closure assembly (20) may, instead, or additionally, be provided wherein the overcap (28) has an elongate, hollow plug (58) for establishing a first seal between the fitment (24) and the overcap (28) in the initially assembled orientation, and the wherein overcap (28) has a skirt (50) for establishing a second seal between the fitment (24) and the overcap (28) in the initially assembled orientation.

A liquid storage tank broadly comprising a drum, a bottom chime, and a top chime. The bottom chime and top chime each include drum engaging geometry for positively connecting the chimes to the drum and retaining the chimes on the drum when the drum is holding liquid and subjected to lifting forces. The top chime also includes forklift openings and alignment and anti-rotation geometry configured to prevent the top chime from rotating relative to the drum when the drum is lifted via a forklift fork extending through the forklift openings so that the forklift fork does not damage a top wall or bung openings of the drum.

A spray gun includes a spray gun main body and an adjustment valve. The spray gun main body has an air intake passage, a first air outlet passage, a second air outlet passage, and a mounting hole defined therein. The mounting hole is in communication with the air intake passage, the first air outlet passage and the second air outlet passage. The adjustment valve is mounted to the spray gun main body and located in the mounting hole. The adjustment valve includes a first operating member and a second operating member. The second operating member is movably mounted on the first operating member.

A container comprising: a container body that includes a wall portion separating inside and outside and is formed of a long-fiber-reinforced silicon-carbide composite material obtained by combining monofilaments of silicon carbide with a silicon carbide matrix, the wall portion having a thickness equal to a specific dimension; and a lid configured to close an opening of the container body, formed of a material containing at least silicon carbide, and equipped with such a wall portion separating inside and outside that thickness is within a range of 1 to 3 times the specific dimension.

A closure device for a container has a lid element for closing the container opening, a chamber which is arranged on the lid element for storing a medium, and an inner housing. The chamber and the inner housing have corresponding closure means and opening means. A discharge opening paired with the chamber can be released by moving the lid element relative to the inner housing such that a medium can exit the chamber into the container. The chamber and the inner housing each have a corresponding first thread which is formed relative to a winding rotational axis. The first thread which is located on the chamber is arranged so as to point radially outwards when seen from the thread rotational axis.
