A packaged assembly of a hermetically sealed container and cigarette, and method of forming the assembly. The container is hermetically sealed for airtight conditions for freshness, whereby an interior space is either filled with an inert gas or is evacuated down to a pressure close to 0 atm to remove substantially all air (oxygen) from within. The container may be clear glass to afford good visibility of the cigarette within an interior space thereof. However, a relatively large label may be affixed to the exterior of the container to occlude most of the light from reaching the cigarette.

A container body has a neck defining an opening with an axis. The neck includes a projection that projects radially away from the axis. A cap includes a wall that defines at least part of an exterior of the cap. The wall includes an aperture extending therethrough. The cap is removably attached to the neck and supported for movement on the neck between a first position and a second position. The wall is resiliently flexible for radial movement between a retained position and an unretained position with respect to the neck. In the retained position the projection retains the cap in the first position. The wall, in the unretained position, allows movement of the cap from the first position toward the second position.

The present invention relates to a cap assembly for converting a container of a carbonated drink into a fire extinguishing device. The present invention also relates to a method for extinguishing a fire using a container of water or carbonated drink producing environmentally friendly and human safe stream.

A closure may have a top wall and a side wall depending from the top wall. A plug seal device may depend from said top wall within the side wall. The plug seal device may have an upper section, a lower section, and a sealing section proximate the boundary between the upper section and the lower section. The sealing section is operable such that when the plug seal device is inserted in an opening to an inner cavity in a container, the sealing section engages with an inner container surface to provide a seal between an inner cavity of the container and the external environment.

The closure cap for a container comprises an internal skirt (16) comprising a bore (16b) provided with at least one helical screw thread (19) for screwing said cap onto the container, an external skirt (18) radially surrounding said internal skirt at least partially, and a front wall (14) from which said internal and external skirts extend. The cap is produced by moulding at least one synthetic material. At least one recess (30) is formed on an outer surface (16a) of the internal skirt, remaining axially away from a front end face (16c) of said skirt.

A closure of a container comprising a capsule (10) in turn comprising: —a cap (2) that can be associated with a container and comprising a frangible mouth (20); —a cutter (3) comprising a cutting edge (30) designed to open said frangible mouth (20); —a covering (4) of the cutter (3); —transmission means (50) for transmitting a rotary component of a movement of the covering (4) to the cutter (3); —guide means (900) which enable a rotation-translation of the covering (4) which draws said cutter (3), determining the passage of the covering (4) and the cutter (3) from a resting configuration in which the frangible mouth (20) is intact to an operating configuration in which the cutter (3) is in a stroke-end position, the frangible mouth (20) is at least partially open and the covering (4) is rotatingly integral with the cap (2). The closure (1) further comprises: i) a capsule cover (11) which surmounts the covering (4); the covering (4) and the capsule cover (11) in a first configuration being axially neared to one another along an axial direction (40), in a second configuration being moved away from one another along the axial direction (40); the axial direction (40) being identified by an axis (300) along which the movement of the cutter (3) from the resting configuration to the operating configuration takes place; ii) disengageable means (6) for transmitting an unscrewing torque from the capsule cover (11) to the covering (4), said disengageable means (6) for the unscrewing of the capsule (10) being mutually engaged in the first configuration and mutually disengaged in the second configuration.

A lid for an insulated container comprises a flexible gasket configured to facilitate a seal between the lid and an inner wall of the insulated container, and further configured to expand into an interior compartment of the insulated container responsive to a vacuum developing in the interior compartment. A diaphragm chamber is situated opposite the flexible gasket from the interior compartment when the lid is fully engaged with the insulated container. One or more air channels couple the diaphragm chamber to an exterior of the lid. The development of a vacuum in the interior compartment of the insulated container draws a force on the flexible gasket, thereby reducing pressure in the diaphragm chamber. The negative pressure in diaphragm chamber is back-filled with external air, which enters the lid via the air channels. The lid may then be removed without excessive vacuum forces.
