A bottle stopper adapted for self-opening and self-plugging a bottle, comprising a cylindrical cover having a bottom end and a top end. The cylindrical cover is sized and shaped to plug a bottle. A cartridge is encompassed by the cylindrical cover and has a fluid chamber; the cartridge also has at least one lateral protrusion thereon to form between the cartridge and the cylindrical cover. There is at least one fluid channel for fluidly connecting between a space below the bottom end and above the top end. A conduit having at least one inlet and at least one outlet is for fluidly connecting transferring the fluid of the fluid chamber to outside of the bottle stopper. An activation cap is mounted to push the conduit along a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical cover from a closed state to an open state.

Disclosed are embodiments of containers, caps, sealing assemblies, and associated components. In one embodiments, a sealing assembly can include an expander actuator operatively coupled to an expander, which expander is operatively coupled to a seal. In a locking state, the expander actuator is configured to cause the expander to expand horizontally against the seal. The expansion of the seal against a shoulder and/or a neck of a container provides a locking, leak-proof seal. In an opening state, the expander is configured to provide an upward movement of the expander actuator, allowing the expander to return to its unexpanded form, which in turn causes the seal to return to its unexpanded form. When the seal is in its unexpanded form, the sealing assembly (along with an associated cap) can be pulled away from the container body.

This invention discloses a separable beverage freshness preserver including a gas outlet assembly and a sealing assembly connected with the gas outlet assembly. The separable beverage freshness preserver is characterized in that the sealing assembly includes a liquid guiding assembly and a bottle stopper assembly connected with the liquid guiding assembly; the liquid guiding assembly includes a cock and a liquid dispensing pipe connected with the cock; and the liquid dispensing pipe is detachably connected with the cock. The liquid dispensing pipe and the like can be separated from a bottle body, and thus, beverages can be placed in a place with a narrow space, such as a refrigerator and the like, and occupy a small space so as to facilitate refrigeration and preservation of beverages.

A system and method for easily operated self-releasing stopper/cork for bottles of compressed liquids. The corks have a gas bladder that is designed to be inserted in a bottle and inflated, the bladder having a ribbed or smooth exterior to complete the sealing of the bottle whereby a gas release mechanism can be activated by depressing a button on a cap or via an on-board micro controller and/or electro-mechanical release solution in the cap. Once the gas is released from the top of the bladder the pressure inside the vessel will collapse the bladder's bottom and eject the cork assembly from the bottle.

A cap includes a housing, a flexible membrane made from a resilient material and disposed over at least a portion of the housing, a first slider at least partially disposed in the housing and movable between a first position and a second position with respect to the housing, and a second slider at least partially disposed in the housing and cooperating with the first slider, when the first slider is in the first position the second slider is in a locked position in which a distal end of the second slider presses against and extends the flexible membrane outwardly from the housing, and when the first slider is in the second position the second slider is in an unlocked position in which the distal end of the second slider does not extend the flexible membrane outwardly from the housing as much as compared to the locked position.
