An integrated lid and measuring apparatus that is configured to be releasably secured to an opening of a container wherein the present invention provides a technique of transferring liquid from the container and provide measuring thereof. The integrated lid and measuring apparatus includes a lid portion and a measuring portion that are integrally formed utilizing a suitable technique. The measuring portion is superposed the lid portion. The lid portion is configured to secure to an opening of a container in two alternate manners. The lid portion includes an inner sealing member that has a siphon member sealably connected therewith that extends into the interior volume of the container. The measuring portion has a body having six walls wherein each wall has a view window formed therein. Adjacent each view window is measuring indicia wherein the present invention has different measuring indicia adjacent each view window.

Seal integrity indicators for sterilization containers are provided. For example, a seal indicator may indicate whether the container is sufficiently sealed to prevent an ingress of contaminants into the container. If the container is sufficiently sealed, the seal indicator is visible, but if not, the seal indicator is not visible. Thus, the seal indicator undergoes a change in state when the sterilization container transitions from unsealed to sealed, or vice versa, such that a user may ascertain whether the container is properly sealed to maintain the container's sterility. An exemplary seal indicator includes an invertible projection formed with the container gasket that is not visible from outside the container until inverted, due to force applied by the lid, to extend through an opening in the container body. Closure mechanisms for sterilization containers also are provided.

A straw bottle includes a straw bottle body and a cover seat, wherein the cover seat is provided with an opening; an end of a cover is hinged with the cover seat, and another end of the cover is connected with the cover seat in a snap-fit manner to open or close the opening; a straw detachably connected with the cover seat, the straw includes a rigid part and a resilient part arranged at a bottom of the rigid part; when the cover is locked with the cover seat, the cover pushes the straw to make the resilient part be in the pressed and bent state, and the straw retracts back into the opening; and when the cover is unlocked with the cover seat, the resilient part is restored by a resilient force, so as to push the straw out of the opening and the straw pushes the cover up.

A beverage container lid can include an audio speaker; a wireless transceiver to transmit and receive wireless signals; and a hardware processor to process wireless signals received by the wireless transceiver and to output audible signals through the audio speaker. The beverage container lid can also include a water-tight housing, the wireless transceiver and hardware processor contained within the water-tight housing; a drinking aperture; and a fluid channel, the fluid channel to allow fluid to pass through the drinking aperture, and the water-tight housing to prevent fluid passing through the fluid channel from contacting the wireless transceiver and hardware processor.

Collapsible reusable watertight carrying cases are provided in sizes varying from small containers without wheels to large sealable container bins on wheels, to provide large quantities of water or other supplies and cargo. The cases are assembled or disassembled from a joined flat space-saving configuration to a functioning case and vice-versa. The sides of the cases are erected progressively by hand by interlocking self sealing reciprocating channel and channel engaging members elements at the corners. The panels also disassemble progressively by being manually pulled apart. Optional foldable locking latches provide stability and aesthetics to the carrying case. When folded into a flat storage or shipping configuration, the panels stay together, resisting unfolding by virtue of snaps which are either molded into the panels or bonded to them. The carrying cases are resistant to water, dirt, bacteria, molds, allergens, and inclement weather.

In some embodiments, a shot carrier includes a bottom, a circumferential sidewall joined to the bottom at one end, and forming an opening at an opposite end, and a lid having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lid being mateable with the circumferential sidewall and configured and arranged to cover the opening, the lid having at least two hooks facing different directions disposed on the upper surface.

An end cap, a collectible card protective assembly, and a storage system generally comprise a cover sized to extend over and close the open end of a collectible card holder, and an engagement member configured to engage the collectible card holder and releasably secure the cover to the collectible card holder. The end cap prevents removal of the collectible card from the pocket when the cover is secured to the collectible card holder by the engagement member.

The invention provides for a dispenser package comprising a generally cylindrical container body and a cap removably mounted to the container body. The cap comprises a generally cylindrical cap body securable to an upper end of the container body. The cap body comprises a generally circular projecting portion having an outer circumferential surface and an upper surface that includes plural dispensing openings. A generally circular flip-up lid is connected to the cap body by a living hinge and being movable between a covering position and an open position.

Disclosed is a foldable cup and a spray cup, comprising: a cup opening, a cup body connected with the cup opening, and a discharge port disposed at the lower portion of the cup body, wherein the cup body is made of a flexible material, which, after being folded, shrinks the overall cup size. The disclosed cup body is made of a foldable, flexible material, such that the cup size can be shrunk to facilitate storage.

A tamper-evident closure for a container includes a straw having an outer edge with an outwardly extending projection. The closure includes a cap with a rib. A tamper-evident tab extends from the rib. The tab has an inwardly extending lug configured to engage with the outwardly extending projection of the straw as the cap rotates relative to the straw. The tab has a hinge coupled with the rib. The hinge is configured to rotate the tab outwardly relative to the rib. The tab also has a foldable portion configured to fold to provide a visual indication when the cap is an unsealed configuration.
