A food jar is described that may be used to store and transport food items. The food jar includes a container, a lid, and a vent. As the lid is unscrewed from the container, the vent opens to equilibrate air pressure within the container with the atmosphere. The vent relieves high and low pressure within the container. The food jar may also include stopper with a vent. The stopper may include an upper and a lower stopper that form the vent.

A food jar is described that may be used to store and transport food items. The food jar includes a container. The container defines an interior to store a food product. A stopper is sized to close an opening of the container. A base removably engages to a lower portion of the container.

A container assembly for holding a beverage includes a walled container having an interior surface and an exterior surface. An expandable grip accessory is operatively coupled to the walled container and includes a grip accessory body movable between an extended configuration and a collapsed configuration. The grip accessory body includes a first end and a second end. A hub is operatively coupled to the walled container and includes an opening sized to receive at least a portion of the second end of the grip accessory body. The first end of the grip accessory body is spaced away from the exterior surface of the walled container when the grip accessory body is in the extended configuration.

A drink container and three position plug lid for use therewith. The lid includes a tubular seal with a flexible perimeter seal wall attached between upper and lower seal carriers, a lifter member attached to the lower seal carrier and a cam member to control movement of the lower seal carrier relative to the upper seal carrier and thereby laterally flex and axially move the perimeter seal wall and move the lid between closed and opened positions where the lid is retained within the drink container against removal, and a removal position permitting removal of the lid for washing the lid and drink container.

A container for storing a liquid for consumption. The container may comprise temperature and volume sensors, processors, energy source and a communication device to transmit the recorded temperature and volume data to a remote human interface. The container may also provide for various notifications and alerts to the user if the data falls outside predetermined variable ranges.

A container may include a neck including an external surface and at least one handle retention feature with axially lower and upper handle retention surfaces. A handle for a container may include a collar including spaced apart container retention features having axially lower and upper container retention surfaces to cooperate with the corresponding handle retention feature of the container to prevent axial movement of the collar with respect to the container.

Provided is a handle including an annular part configured to fit in a neck part of a container, a first extension part provided so as to be continuous with the annular part, and a first holding part provided so as to be continuous with the first extension part, in which the annular part includes a second contact part capable of coming into contact with a first contact part provided to the neck part, and the first extension part is configured to be positioned with respect to the container by the contact between the first contact part and the second contact part.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for holding and pouring wine from a wine bottle. The apparatus comprises a body strap with a ring at one end of the body strap. The other end of the body strap passes through the ring forming a loop. The apparatus further comprises a base strap configured to fit around the body of the bottle. The base strap coupled to a thumb ring through a hook. The other open end of the body strap coupled to the thumb ring.

An articulated handle for a container is described. The articulated handle comprises a collar, a grip, and a securing means. The collar is configured for surrounding a container and comprises an articulated joint for positioning the collar between an open state for receiving the container and a close state for surrounding the container. The articulated joint divides the collar in a first portion and a second portion. The grip projects outwardly from the collar and comprises a first grip portion integrally formed to the first portion of the collar and a second grip portion integrally formed to the second portion of the collar. The first and second grip portions are each configured for comprising a complementary portion. The complementary portions comprise a securing means which connects together the first and second grip portions when the collar is in the close state, thereby securing the articulated handle to the container.

A label with improved physical properties comprising: a base layer having a microstructured area; a composite microstructure having a first, second and third set of microstructures disposed on the microstructured area; a dry lift force attributable to the composite microstructure greater than 7 pounds according to lift testing; a wet lift force attributable to the composite microstructure greater than 7 pounds according to lift testing; an adhesive layer affixed to the base layer for affixing the label to a container; and, thereby providing a microstructured label having improved gripping physical properties that can be affixed to a container.
