An automatic opening and closing device for a container comprises a closure flap within the container and a pivot arm with a weighted portion. When the container is in a first position, the centre of mass of the weighted portion is offset horizontally and vertically from the pivot point of the pivot arm and acts to bias the closure flap to close an opening in the container. When the container is rotated in a first direction to a second position, the weighted portion causes the pivot arm and closure flap to rotate relative to the container in a second direction opposite to the first direction, to bias the closure flap away from the opening. In the first position, the weighted portion is offset vertically by a greater distance than it is offset horizontally. A locking mechanism may also be provided, which is operable to the user to keep the container closed even when tilted.

A cover for a beverage can includes a circular disc, an opening within the circular disc, and a raised lip fixedly attached to a circumference of the circular disc. The cover for a beverage can is useful for providing a means for covering a beverage can when in an opened condition, so as to prevent insects and debris from entering the beverage, to prevent release of carbonated gas from the beverage and to prevent premature warming of the beverage.

Lid caps outfit lid assemblies thereby providing lid-cap combinations for beverage cans. The lid assemblies include a lid rim portion, a lid capping plate, and a can opener element and are attached to a lower can body for forming a beverage can. The lid caps include a cap plate centrally located relative to an outer cap periphery. A cap groove is configured to firstly attach the lid cap to the lid assembly by mated engagement, and may include a pivot structure for providing a can-opening access aperture and closing the can-opening access aperture. In certain embodiments, the cap plate includes a fastener-letting aperture. The can opener element is attached to the lid capping plate via a fastener as extended through the fastener-letting aperture thereby sandwiching the cap plate intermediate the can opener element and the lid capping plate for secondly attaching the lid cap to the lid assembly.

A lid for container that can be open manually but closes itself automatically, The lid can he made out of plastic, paper or metal but preferably it should be made out of plastic. Along the lid lateral side, there is an item attached firmly on the lid and acting like a spring. This spring features an extension on the end not connected to the lid that acts as a button. Additionally, for usage, the lid is manually equipped with a flexible moving piece of material that can be made out of various material but preferably out of paper. This flexible piece of material will have a cut on one end that will be used to insert the button through in such a way that after insertion, the spring, the button, and the moving tongue move simultaneously. In order to use the assembly, the user needs to exert a pressure on the button with a finger, so that the spring gets under pressure and the moving piece of material moves along the surface of the lid to reveal the opening. As soon as the pressure on the button is removed, the spring gets back to its resting position along with the moving piece of material that covers the opening once again.

A closure for containers providing a seal when closed. A pull tab lifted to open provides a venting action, and a pour opening. A sanitary platform covers a drinking area around the pour opening. Closure contains electronic device components triggered to engage a user in games of chance through the use of a cellular phone.

The invention relates to a protector for containers that include a rivet that protrudes in the upper portion of the container, comprising an upper lid and a lower ring that can be coupled to the side wall of the container, the upper lid and the lower ring being attached to each other. The lower ring includes a plurality of locking tabs, which protrude from an interior face of the lower ring in an upwards direction and along the entire perimeter of the lower ring, said locking tabs having an angle of inclination with respect to a vertical portion of the lower ring, said locking tabs being designed to hold the side wall of the container and abut under the rivet present in the container, the upper lid including at least a negative portion that protrudes from an interior face of a perimeter flange, which is attached to the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring.

Beverages such as beer and soda which contain carbon dioxide or other gases may degrade in quality when subjected to atmospheric pressure, oxygen, and/or light. It may be desirable to store such beverages in containers which prevent exposure to these conditions. An aluminum can is one such container but is associated with the problem of resealing the can after breaking the seal. The described utilities provide for resealing, pressurizing, and/or dispensing from an aluminum can or similar beverage container.

A sealing lid. The sealing lid includes a lid top portion having an upper surface and a lower surface. An outer concentric ring protrudes from the lower surface of the lid top portion. An inner concentric ring protrudes from the lower surface of the lid top portion. A channel is defined between the outer concentric ring and the inner concentric ring. The sealing lid is configured to releasably secure to a top rim of a beverage can by the top rim friction fitting within the channel.

The invention relates to a lid (100) of a container, especially a beverage can, comprising a substantially flat lid surface (101) and a preferably folded edge area (102), as well as at least one pouring opening (103) provided on the lid surface (101), which can be closed in a gas- and/or liquid-tight manner by means of at least one closure element (120), with the closure element (120) being movable from a closed position into an open position by means of an actuating element (110), the actuating element (110) comprises a fixing element (111) and a sliding element (113), and the fixing element (111) is connected to at least one connecting element (115) via at least one predetermined breaking point before opening for the first time and the fixing element (111) has a handle (114) which, upon movement of the fixing element (111) from the closed position into the open position, acts on the at least one predetermined breaking point via at least one edge (114a).
