The invention relates to a lid for a container, in particular for a can, which comprises: a lid surface with a first opening passing through the lid surface; an internal element arranged on an inner side of the lid surface and having a ventilation opening passing through the internal element and being aligned with the first opening; and an actuation element arranged on an outer side of the lid surface, the actuation element having a joint region which subdivides the actuation element into a first and second portion; wherein the first portion of the actuation element is arranged so as to bear on the lid surface; the second portion of the actuation element is pivotable about the joint region relative to the first portion and the second portion comprises a peg for closing the ventilation opening, wherein the peg comprises a latching element, in particular a latching bead extending preferably around the peg, which is able to be releasably latched in a recess of the internal element. The lid according to the invention is characterized by a locking element for locking the latching element in the recess, wherein the locking element locks the latched latching element in a locking position and in an unlocking position of the locking element, the latching element is able to be unlatched from the recess in order to disengage the peg in the ventilation opening so as to open the ventilation opening.

A cooling element includes a container, the container defining an internal volume within one or more walls of the container. The volume is air-tight sealed, and the container is configured for containing dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), releasing carbon dioxide gas from the volume and blocking ingress of ambient gas into the volume. Additionally, a shipping box includes a thermally insulated volume therein, and is configured for holding a receptacle and one or more cooling elements, wherein the one or more cooling elements are arranged to enclose the receptacle. Further, a method is disclosed for thermal stabilisation of such a receptacle by using the cooling element or shipping box. The receptacle is arranged for holding a product such as a (bio)pharmaceutical substance and/or advanced therapy medicinal product(s).

Provided is a microwavable pouch including an automatic steam venting mechanism, which includes a steam venting sealing portion, a slit, and a flap piece. The steam venting sealing portion includes a seal peeling start portion. The slit includes a pair of slit end portions and a slit intermediate portion formed toward a region closer to the seal peeling start portion than the pair of slit end portions, and the automatic steam venting mechanism further includes an unsealed portion formed to cover the entire periphery of the slit and a control sealing portion formed by heat-welding a part of the flap piece to a second film.

A pouring spout includes a spout main body which includes a tubular pouring part and an attached part. The tubular pouring part has a channel which is formed on an inner side of the tubular pouring part. The channel allows contents to pass therethrough. The attached part is positioned on one end side in an extending direction of the tubular pouring part. The attached part is attachable to a container. The tubular pouring part includes a guide that protrudes from an inner wall of the channel toward a center of the channel, and extends in an extending direction of the tubular pouring part.

To provide a container including an inner container that is deformed as content decreases, the container being a dispensing container reusable and excellent in an aroma retaining property. To implement such container, a dispensing container (10) includes a container body (13) including a flexible inner container configured to be filled with content and to deflate as the content decreases, and an outer container encompassing the inner container and having an intake hole through which external air is taken into a space between the inner container and the outer container, a discharge cap (15) including a top surface part having a discharge port through which the content is discharged, the discharge cap (15) being mounted on a mouth portion (13a) of the container body (13), and an external air introduction hole that provides communication between the outside and the intake hole. The inner container and the outer container are made of a polyethylene terephthalate resin.

A lid for use with a beverage container. The lid has a body with a drink opening, a drink opening stopper operable to transition between a closed position and an opened position, and a lock actuator manually rotatable between a locking position preventing the drink opening stopper from transitioning from the closed position to the opened position when the lock actuator is in the locking position and an unlocking position permitting the drink opening stopper to transition from the closed position to the opened position when the lock actuator is in the unlocking position.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods provided herein are useful for dispensing a fluid, such as a thixotropic fluid. In some embodiments, a bottle having a closure cap includes a flip top, a base, and a disk, where the base and disk define a mixing chamber configured to facilitate mixing of any serum or liquid separated from the fluid back therein. In some configurations, the base has a central opening through which the fluid exits and an internal shaft with a non-planar end surface opposite the central opening. In some configurations, the non-planar end surface and the disk define channels between the mixing chamber and the internal shaft. In some embodiments, the disk includes a central opening, a plurality of partial annular openings through a planar surface of the disk, and projections extending into the mixing chamber.
