BEVERAGE SYSTEM
A beverage system is provided that includes a cup having a frustoconical wall extending from a first end to a second end. The first end is coupled to a bottom wall and the second end defines a rim. Inner surfaces of the walls define a cavity. The rim defines an opening that is in communication with the cavity. A lid is coupled to the rim such that the lid covers at least a portion of the opening. A sleeve includes a collar that surrounds a portion of the frustoconical wall. The sleeve includes first and second arms. The arms each include a first end coupled to the collar and an opposite second end. The second end of the first arm directly engages the lid. The second end of the second arm directly engages the second end of the first arm when the second end of the first arm directly engages the lid to prevent the lid from being removed from the cup.
CHILD RESISTANT DOUBLE SEAM CONTAINER LID
The present invention is directed to a child resistant double seam container lid including an adapter ring for securely affixing to the double seam top rim of conventional double seamed containers that will be difficult for children to open, yet readily openable by adults. More particularly, a one-piece, two-piece, and three-piece child resistant double seam affixable container lid is provided having a first piece lid portion first, a second piece adapter ring locking member second piece and optionally a third piece securing unit piece, with rotational alignment indicators, and optional additional integral features such as a liquid measuring cup feature, a liquid tight lid feature, a threaded lid portion, a replaceable double seam container lid portion and a double seam container lid locking member adapter ring securely affixable to the double seam container.
TEMPERATURE-BASED RELIEF MECHANISM FOR A CONTAINER
A re-sealable vessel includes a body with an open end and a lid assembly. The lid assembly includes a cap with a seal sized to seal against the open end of the body and the cap is at least partially formed from a fusible metal with a melting point less than a threshold temperature comprising a boiling point or a temperature associated with a threshold vapor pressure of a liquid contained within the body, such that when a temperature of the fusible metal exceeds the melting point, the fusible metal melts, leaving an aperture through the cap.

LOCKING TOP FOR VESSEL HAVING A NECK
A locking top for blocking a stopper in the neck of a vessel comprises an outer body and a cage that is configured to fit into and lock axially in the outer body. The cage comprises an upper ring, a plurality n of branches connected to the upper ring, n/2 median bridges and n/2 lower bridges arranged in alternation on the periphery of the cage, each connecting together two adjacent branches. When the top is in an intermediate holding position in which the stopper is partially pushed into the neck, the lower bridges surround, at least in part, a collar of the neck; the median bridges located, in an axial direction, between the upper ring and the lower bridges are designed to form an open space between them and the collar.
