A gas sampler device has a top plate with a concaved outer wall. The concaved outer wall allows users easily to lift the top plate off of the bottom plate without disturbing the bottom plate because the curved surface permits more positive contact between the outer wall and users' fingers. Moreover, the weight of the top plate is reduced by approximately twenty percent compared to conventional top plates, a feature that also makes it easier for users to lift the top plate off of the bottom plate.

The disclosed embodiments relate to a manufacturing component as a first tool in a forming station at least for endforming a preformed lid made from a material to form an undercut comprising natural fibres. The preformed lid includes a top part and a side part circumferencing the top part, where the manufacturing component is adapted to contact an outer side of the preformed lid to endform the preformed lid by exerting a first movement in axial direction along a center axis of the manufacturing component and a later second movement in a second direction towards the side part of the preformed lid. Multiple side forming elements of the manufacturing component are arranged to exert the second movement by applying an outer pressure onto an outer side of the side part to form an undercut into the side part.

Reclosable cup lids are provided herein. The reclosable cup lid can have a rim portion defining an outer perimeter. A sidewall can extend upwardly from the rim portion, and an upper surface can slope from a first end thereof to a second end thereof. A cavity can be disposed within the sidewall and above the upper surface. A drink aperture can be disposed within the cavity and formed through at least a portion of the upper surface to allow fluid flow therethrough. A slideable tab can be at least partially disposed within the cavity that can have at least two opposing sides that are generally straight, providing a track for the slideable tab.

A recloseable lid for closing an open top of a cup terminating in an annular upper edge includes a cup mount defining an annular channel configured to receive the annular upper edge of the cup and a cap having an annular side wall extending upwardly from the cup mount and terminating in a top having an annular floor spaced above the cup mount. A drink opening is disposed in the top and a plug assembly having a drink opening plug is provided. The drink opening plug can be selectively moveable between a closed position in which the drink opening plug is received within the drink opening for closing the drink opening and an open position in which the drink opening plug is not disposed within the drink opening. The lid can also include a plug retainer disposed in the cap and configured to retain the drink opening plug in the open position.

A cover for a container includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the cover. The plurality of panels includes a central panel, at least one side panel foldably connected to the central panel, and at least one end panel foldably connected to the central panel. At least one of the at least one side panel and the at least one end panel includes an opening configured to receive a portion of the container. The opening includes an engagement edge for engaging the container. The cover also includes a handle foldably connected to the central panel.

A sealable container system contains a body and a lid assembly. The body includes an internal volume defined by bottom and side wall(s), bump(s) on the inside surface of the side wall and projecting toward the internal volume, and a lid with outer and inner walls at its bottom side with a channel in-between. A gasket couples to the lid with a wall portion residing within the channel and a lip outside the channel. When the lid assembly is pressed into the body, the lip of the gasket engages the bumps and deforms, and a gap forms between the lip and the side wall, where air in the internal volume exits through the gap. When the lip of the gasket travels past the bumps, the lip fully seats against the inside surface of the side wall, where negative air pressure is imparted to the internal volume of the body.

A cup lid includes a main body that closely receives a paper cup and a lid connected thereto by a connection section. The lid is arranged to close the paper cup and is attached to the main body. The main body includes a hollow annular body that is provided with a raised ring engagable with a coupling groove of the lid. The main body includes a support section extending from an inner circumference thereof to fix the paper cup therein. The main body is provided, on an outer circumference thereof, with handle sections for holding and lifting by a user and thermal insulation sections positionable on a cup body of the paper cup for thermal isolation and protection against burning when held by the user.
