The invention is directed to a container having a tamper evidence collar integrally formed on the container body, wherein the tamper evidence collar comprises: an annular portion which extends circumferentially outwardly from the container body; a discontinuous skirt portion which extends vertically from the annular portion, extends substantially circumferentially about the container body; a tamper evidence tab disposed in the circumferential location of the skirt discontinuity, wherein the tab comprises: an annularly extending portion aligned with the annular portion of the collar; and a skirt portion aligned with the skirt of the collar, one or more pins that rotatably join the tab to the tamper evidence collar; and at least one frangible web which connects the tab to the tamper evidence collar prior to actuation of the tab.

An airtight container has a lid which is easily opened by the principle of the lever thus preventing broth from splashing out when the lid is opened. The airtight container includes a container body having a latching bump and a bent flange, a rotating knob connected to the flange and having an opening-closing plate and a step portion, and a lid having a latching protrusion, a downwardly bent flange and a lid extension portion, wherein, when the rotating knob is just rotated upward in a state where the lid is coupled to the container body, the opening-closing plate lifts the lid extension portion by the principle of the lever while the step portion prevents the lid extension portion from spreading outwards, thereby allowing the latching protrusion to be released from the latching bump and the lid to be opened from the container body.

A safety closure for or on a container with a media supply line is described. The safety closure comprises: a lid which is actuated in particular mechanically for closing the container; a shut-off device for shutting off the media supply line; a pivoting lever with an actuating arm for pressing on the lid and with an in particular opposite first locking element; and a second locking element which is drive-coupled to the shut-off device and, which as a stop for the first locking element, being selectively operative when the shut-off device is open, is configured such that the lid can not be opened. Accidentally opening the lid when the container is spray rinsed can thereby be prevented in a simple and reliable manner.

A storage container comprising a container base having an upper opening defined by a peripheral top edge of the base; a removable lid with a circumferential seal, wherein the lid sealingly sits across the upper opening of the base; and a clip mounted to the base to rotate between an engaged position whereby the clip engages the lid against removal, and a disengaged position; wherein the clip includes a contact surface that as the clip rotates from the engaged position to the disengaged position, the contact surface is moved to lift the lid.

Container includes a base and a lid. The base has a base rim forming a base channel including a bottom wall, an inner sidewall, and an outer sidewall to define a channel space, a lock projection extending into the channel space from a first portion of the base rim, and a lever projection extending substantially outwardly from a second portion of the base rim. The lid has a lid rim forming a lid channel including a bottom wall, an inner sidewall, and an outer sidewall. The lid has a closed position in which the lid channel is aligned with and disposed at least partially within the channel space. The lever projection is configured to pivot upon application of an external force to cause the lock projection to move out from the channel space and to urge at least a portion of the lid rim out of the base channel.

A beverage container closure or lid adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be opened by pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the button is released. Thus, the user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container. The beverage container closure includes an actuating lever configured to press the button when a user applies a force to the lever. By utilizing the mechanical advantage provided by the lever, a user is able to selectively open and close the stopper using a relatively low amount of force.

Provided is a storage container including a base and a cartridge container attachable to the base. The cartridge container defines a plurality of internal chambers and includes a plurality of individually operable doors, each of the plurality of doors corresponding to one of the internal chambers. The storage container further includes a plurality of individually addressable actuators disposed in at least one of the base and the cartridge container, each of the plurality of actuators corresponding to one of the doors. A microprocessor is programmed or configured to receive at least one instruction from a server computer, and transmit a command, based on the at least one instruction, to actuate one of the plurality of actuators. Actuating one of the plurality of actuators causes the corresponding door to move from a closed position to an opened position. Systems and methods are provided for remote and immediate dispensing of articles.

A lid assembly for attachment to a drinking vessel is provided having a camming lever rotatably attached to an upper portion of a lid main body, and a sealing member rotatably attached to a lower portion of lid main body. Rotation of the camming lever between a forward and rearward position in an elongated recess of the lid main body selectively seals and unseals a drinking aperture in the lid main body. A locking member is operable to selectively secure the rotational position of the camming lever when the sealing member is in a sealing position sealing the drinking aperture. A cam axle of the camming lever is removably attachable to an attachment element of the sealing member to transition the lid assembly between a use configuration for drinking and a cleaning configuration in which the lid assembly may be thoroughly cleaned.

A beverage container having an oval or elliptical cross-sectional shape is provided. The beverage container comprises a beverage receptacle comprising a cavity surrounded by a container wall configured to store a liquid and an open top portion. The beverage container further comprises a lid configured to be attached to the open top portion of the beverage receptacle to cover the open top portion of the beverage receptacle and comprising an opening formed through the lid configured to dispense the liquid. The lid and at least the open top portion of the beverage receptacle comprise an oval or elliptical shape to provide the beverage container with its oval or elliptical cross-sectional shape. The oval or elliptical shape of the beverage container is configured to improve visibility of a user during use of the beverage container.
