The stopper for a container having a container opening, in which opening the stopper, having an olive that is molded onto a head segment of the stopper, engages in a force fit, wherein a slide element is arranged in the head segment in a recess leading through the center of the head segment and is guided in lateral grooves such that said slide element may be advanced beyond the lateral edge of the head segment as a grip for removing the stopper from the container, is characterized in that a tension band is attached on the top of the head segment and connects the two longitudinal sides of the recess and covers the slide element with little clearance.

A sealing cover for covering an opening of a barrel body includes an outer cover body, an inner cover body, an airtight ring and an operating member. The outer cover body includes two pivot connecting portions. The airtight ring is sleeved on an outer peripheral surface of the inner cover body. The operating member is pivotally connected to the pivot connecting portions and the inner cover body. The operating member is operable to pivot so as to drive movement of the inner cover body between a sealed position and an unsealed position. When at the sealed position, the airtight ring is deformed and airtightly pressed between the barrel body and the outer cover body. When at the unsealed position, the airtight ring restores to its original shape and is configured not to be pressed between the barrel body and the outer cover body.

A bottle stopper includes an elongated band formed of a thin paper, plastic, or similar material. The band is tightly wound into a compact cylinder that is dimensioned and configured to firmly seat within a bottle neck opening. Preferably, the cylinder includes an outer liner of food-grade material that prevents the cork from contaminating the enclosed wine. A cord is attached to the central core of the resulting compact cylinder and extends a predetermined distance above the bottle neck. When the cord is pulled, the band unwinds into a helical configuration that easily separates from the bottle neck.

There is provided a plug member that is detachably mounted to a liquid inlet to close the liquid inlet. The plug member comprises a sealing part configured to close the liquid inlet, such that at least part of the sealing part is inserted in the liquid inlet; and a cover part arranged around at least part of circumference of the sealing part.

A closure for a bottle includes a wooden head portion and a stopper portion. The wooden head portion has a recess formed therein. The stopper portion has a polymer inner member and a polymer outer member. The polymer inner member includes a first part embedded in the recess in the wooden head and a second part extending away from the wooden head and substantially covered by the polymer outer member.

A tube plug insertable in one end of a heat exchange tube, the tube plug formed as an shaft having a distal part and an opposite proximal part which terminates in a proximal end with an threaded hole extending axially in the proximal end in the distal direction, and a plug removal tool having a proximal handle part and a distal stem part which has external threads that match threads in the threaded hole in the plug's shaft, the stem part being threadedly insertable into the threaded hole in the proximal end of the tube plug, whereby rotation of the stem will urge the tube plug to rotate relative to the heat exchange tube and break free from being lodged in the bore thereof.
