A button-type airtight container lid having an upper lid, a lower lid, a dish seal ring, a button, a rotary toothed member, a vertical shaft, and a lever spring mechanism; the rotary toothed member includes a sleeve and N spline teeth provided at the top and bottom with a helicoid, respectively; the rotary toothed member is rotatably mounted at the vertical shaft fixed on the button; the upper lid being provided at the bottom plate with an N-groove spline hole, the bottom plate has an end gear at the bottom, which includes 2N end teeth; the tooth groove of the N-groove spline hole being located at the tooth groove section of the end tooth; the lower lid includes a 2N tooth end ratchet, whose ratchet tooth is adapted to the lower helicoid of the spline tooth, with N greater than or equal to 3.

A beverage container closure or lid that is adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is selectively couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be selectively opened by a user by the user pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the user releases the button. Thus, a user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container.

A container provided with a sealing lid comprises a jar (11), a lid (12) for closing the jar, a rubber sealing ring (13), adapted to be interposed between an upper edge (17) of the jar (11) and a lower flange (18) of the lid (12), and a wire-shaped hooking element (14) of the lid (12) to the jar (11) for closing the container. The jar (11) is provided, in the proximity of its upper edge (17), with a collar (21) radially projecting from the jar side surface (22) so as to define below a circumferential step-like seat (23). The wire-shaped hooking element (14) is shaped with a pair of pivoting ends (20) rotatably received inside respective holes (19) in the lid (12) and with at least one curvilinear locking portion (24), in an intermediate position with respect to said pivoting ends (20).

A system for enabling the efficient evacuation of air within a food container. A bellows-enabled lid fits into a respective container in an air-tight relationship. A bellows mechanism having plural resilient members and dual one-way valves provides efficient manual operation and resulting air evacuation from the container interior. A lid-mounted release valve with associated resilient member enables efficient release of vacuum conditions within the container. Plural ornamental configurations of the container with associated bellows-enabled lid are illustrated.

Interchangeable inserts are provided for a storage container configured to receive a plurality of vertically oriented items, where the inserts include a body having a base, an upper surface having an upper opening, and an upstanding tubular sidewall extending between the base and the upper surface. The base and the tubular sidewall together define an interior space of the insert. The tubular sidewall has an inner surface and an outer surface, where a pair of resilient securing tabs extend laterally from the outer surface of the tubular sidewall. The securing tabs frictionally engage the storage container for releasably coupling the insert to the storage container. Further, the insert has a first vent opening extending through the tubular sidewall through which air can enter the interior space of the body.
