The embodiments provide a container (40) of the type to hold fresh food or produce. Container (40) has a base (42) and a lid (44) moveable with respect to the base (42) between an open position and a closed position. The lid (44) has a planar area (54). The base has a second planar area (56). In the closed position, the first planar (54) and the second planar area (56) include a substantially flat area suitable for receipt of an adhesive membrane, such as a self-adhesive label. The substantially flat area includes an edge (55) of the first planar area (54) and at least part of the second planar area (56).

A tank includes a tank main body configured to house liquid and a lid configured to cover an upper side of the tank main body. The tank main body includes an atmosphere communication hole having an opening opened on an upper surface of the tank main body and a lowered step portion dug down from a periphery of the opening. The lid includes a recess formed on a lower surface of the lid and facing the opening.

A multi-compartment container system includes a plurality of compartments. Each compartment includes a cup portion comprising a volume adapted to hold a food or liquid, and a frame portion joined to the cup portion. The frame portion surrounds a top portion or edge of the cup portion, and includes a connector element disposed on a side of the frame and one or more first mating elements. The compartment also includes a lid having one or more second mating elements adapted to engage with the one or more first mating elements of the frame to form a seal, and a chamber adapted to hold a utensil. The connector element of the frame is joined to an adjacent connector element of an adjacent frame of an adjacent compartment. The cup portion includes a first section and a second section, and the cup portion is adapted to move between an expanded state in which no part of the second section is inside the first section and a collapsed state in which at least a portion of the second section is inside the first section.

A child-resistant container including a container body, a lid, and at least one resilient tab is provided. The lid is pivotable about an axis through a hinge joining the lid to the container body to open and close the container. The resilient tab has a proximal portion fixed to the lid, a distal portion projecting from the lid, and at least one abutment on the distal portion. The abutment on the distal portion of the tab is normally biased into engagement with an abutment on the container body when the lid is in its closed position. The distal portion of the tab is displaceable against the bias to disengage the abutment of the tab from the abutment of the container. Displacement of the tab releases the lid so that it can be pivoted about the hinge to open the container.

A container closure device includes a closure unit with a closure part for opening and re-closing the container opening multiple times, and an operating device with an operating part for actuating the closure part, wherein the operating part is rotatably disposed on the closure part and can be rotated from a locked position into an unlocked position. The operating part includes a first and a second locking portion configured such that, in the locked position, the two locking portions extend beyond the container opening up to an opening limiting region delimiting the container opening, and that, in the unlocked position, at least one of the two locking portions does not extend beyond the container opening up to the opening limiting region delimiting the container opening.

The present invention relates to a wall-lid reinforcement system for the reinforcement of a box for storing and/or transporting goods wherein the box comprises a base body formed by side walls and a bottom wall, each one comprising inner and outer faces wherein the inner faces define an inner space with an opening; and a lid with an inner face, an outer face and a peripheral edge to close the opening of the base body and to define a closed configuration of the box. The wall-lid reinforcement system comprises at least one wall reinforcement body arranged on at least one face of at least one side wall of the base body of the box wherein said wall reinforcement body comprises a wall support area arranged towards the opening of the base body; and at least one lid reinforcement body arranged on the inner face of the lid, wherein the lid reinforcement body comprises a lid support area that faces the wall support area when the box is closed; wherein the wall reinforcement body and the lid reinforcement body define at least one reinforcement assembly. Furthermore, the invention relates to a box for storage and/or transport of goods.

Container assemblies and methods suitable for cooking, transporting, and storing the contents of the container assemblies while maintaining the contents therein at a desired temperature. Such a container assembly includes a container having a lower wall, side walls, and an opening opposite the lower wall that provides access to a cavity within the container. The container assembly further includes a lid configured to releasably attach to the side walls and thereby enclose the cavity to define a storage compartment. A thermal mass is coupled to an interior side of the lid such that at least a portion of the thermal mass faces and is exposed to the storage compartment when the lid is attached to the container. The thermal mass is configured to be heated to an elevated temperature or cooled to a reduced temperature and maintain the elevated or reduced temperature for a period of time.

A system and method for securely storing valuables using a multiple level locking structure. The structure may include two completely separable parts generally termed a lid and a vessel. Both the lid and vessel may employ a lock and key system together with a twist-off mechanism. Complementary matched magnets are placed on the lid and vessel to hold the two pieces together when first coupled and again after twisting together. The lid and vessel may be formed as a rigid, cylindrical or slightly conical container, typically made of metal, glass, ceramic, or plastic, with a wide mouth or opening.

An edible cap for selectively covering an open end of a cup includes an edible flat body, an edible wax layer and an edible film. The edible flat body is in the form of a cap. The edible flat body is a solid body including a top portion and a wall extending around the top portion in a circle of a certain diameter to provide a profile in compliance with the open end of the. The wall includes an opening for receiving the open end of the cup. The edible wax layer is attached to a face of the edible flat body. The edible film is attached to a face of the edible wax layer opposite to the flat body in a detachable manner

A variable volume container, comprising: a lower portion comprising a base and four walls, the four walls extending from the base and comprising a lip at the top of the walls of the lower portion; and an upper portion comprising four walls, wherein opposing walls of the upper portion comprise one or more protrusions configured to abut the lip of the lower portion to allow the upper portion to rest upon the lower portion, to place the container in an extended position; and wherein the opposing walls of the upper portion comprising the one or more protrusions are configured to flex laterally, relative to the lip of the lower portion, to allow the one or more protrusions to be disengaged from the lip to allow the upper portion to be moved downwards relative to the lower portion, to place the container in a retracted position.
