A capsule for a can containing liquid includes a lower shell with first locking detent mechanism and first modular attachment threads, and an upper shell with second locking detent mechanism and second modular attachment threads. The second modular attachment threads are configured to engage the first modular attachment threads and the second locking detent mechanism is configured to interlock with the first locking detent mechanism only when the first modular attachment threads and the second modular attachment threads are fully engaged. The upper and the lower shell enclose the can when the first modular attachment threads and the second modular attachment threads are fully engaged. A shell gasket seals between the lower shell and the upper shell, a can gasket disposed within the upper shell seals between the upper shell and an upper surface of the enclosed can, a lid removably attaches to the upper shell, and a lid gasket seals between the lid and an upper surface of the enclosed can.

A beverage can cap is outfitted upon an upper portion of a beverage can for enabling a user to selectively cover the upper portion. The upper can portion has an upper can rim and a can capping plate. The beverage can cap essentially includes an upper cap rim, a cap plate centrally located relative to the cap rim, and a cap opening.

The beverage can cap is attachable to the upper can portion of the beverage can such that the upper cap rim receives the upper can rim and the cap plate extends in parallel relation to the can capping plate. In certain embodiments, the beverage can cap is rotatable about a cap axis of rotation for selectively positioning the cap plate in superior adjacency to a beverage-letting aperture formable in the can capping plate for selectively covering the beverage-letting aperture with a portion of the cap plate.

A dispensing mechanism for carbonated beverage bottles that includes connecting member, perforating mechanism, and opening mechanism.

A resealable cover for a beverage container that holds a carbonated beverage. The cover includes a base engageable with a rim of the container and a lid movable between an open and closed position relative to the base. When in the closed position, a passageway is defined between a portion of the lid and a portion of the base. The passageway permits fluid communication between air surrounding an exterior surface of the cover and a space defined between the lid and an opening in the container. Pressure that builds up under the lid from gas escaping from the liquid may be relieved by outgassing through the passageway. The cover includes latches on the base that engage in notches on the lid to help lock the lid in place. The lid is rotated relative to the base to release the latches and permit the lid to be opened.

A closure for a container has a base and a lid. The base is attachable to the container. The lid is pivotally connected to the base and moveable between open and closed positions. The lid or the base has operating tabs on its periphery. Each operating tab has an actuation portion and an engagement portion. The engagement portion is moveable between engagement and disengagement positions. When the lid is in the closed positioned, the engagement portion engages the other of the lid and the base in the engagement position and disengages from the other of the lid and the base in the disengagement position. The actuation portion of the operating tab is resiliently deflectable radially outward relative to the one of the lid and the base to move the engagement portion to the disengagement position whereupon release of the actuation portion, the engagement portion returns to the engagement position.

A closing unit for closing a throughflow opening provided in a wall of a container, comprising: an inner closing element configured to be mounted on the edge of the wall all around the throughflow opening, wherein the inner closing element is further configured to connect in mounted position against at least the inner side of the wall and is provided with a passage for the content of the container; an outer closing element configured to be coupled releasably to the inner closing element for the purpose of closing the passage provided therein; wherein both the inner closing element and the outer closing element comprise a screw thread coupling for screwing the outer closing element onto the lower closing element; wherein the outer closing element comprises a peripheral press-on edge which is embodied to clamp the outer closing element against the outer side of the wall of the container when screwing.

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 presented herein is a lid for container that can be sealed or unsealed, usually plastic and glass bottles, used for carbohydrate and alcoholic beverages and even food. Other kind of containers that can be used with the inventions are metal cans, disposable cups and many others. The list of type of containers that can benefit from this invention is not limited to the few examples cited in this document. The invention is mostly made out of plastic but other materials can be used to get the same result. The main element of the lid is equipped with a pull tab that has attached to it on one side an extrusion from a slit of the main cover and on the other side the pull tab is firmly attached to the main cover. Through a slit cut into the main cover, a slidable, bendable and moving piece of material acting like a tongue will move back and forth as a springlocated below the moving tongue and attached to it, on the inside of the containeris in used or not. The removable piece of the lid can be separated completely from the rest of the lid and will reveal the open space through which the content can flow out of the container. The removable piece should be attached to the moving tongue to avoid it to become a hazard. The spring is located inside a box that has a built-in opening with the same size and same shape as the opening on the outside. Other designs can allow the spring to be located outside of the container but still needs to be connected to the moving tongue. Also, other designs can allow the box to be located outside of the container. In such a case, the box is referred as the cavity that connect the inside and the outside of the container and also is where the moving tongue ends on one side. The user simply has to exert a pressure on the button for the moving tongue to move and reveal the opening of the container in order for its content to flow outside freely.

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.

In an assembly of a scoop and a closure, the scoop has a bowl and a handle. A closure has: a frame for mounting to a container body; and a cover hinged relative to the frame by a hinge. The scoop handle has at least one rib. The cover has an underside having a first projection and a second projection positioned to engage the scoop with the scoop in a docked position. The second projection is configured to capture the rib in the docked position.
