A closure system (3) for closing an opening (25) of a container (2) comprises a stopper member (31), a cage member (32) and a lock activation formation (34). The stopper member (31) is made of an elastic material and has a plug portion (311) configured to fit into the opening (25) of the container (2) and a cover portion (312) configured to abut a boundary surface (24) adjacent to the opening (25) of the container (2). The cage member (32) is made of a shape-retentive material. The closure system (3) is configured to be in an assembled state in which the plug portion (311) of the stopper member (31) is fitted into the opening (25) of the container (2), the cover portion (312) of the stopper member (31) abuts the boundary surface (24) of the container (2) and the cage member (32) is mounted to the container (2). The cage member (32) has a locking structure (322), wherein the locking structure (322) of the cage member (32) is configured, in the assembled state of the closure system (3), to be in a detached position in which the locking structure (322) of the cage member (32) is disengaged from the container (2), and in a fixed position in which the locking structure (322) engages a corresponding structure of the container (2). The lock activation formation (341, 342) is configured to interact with the cage member (32) such that the cage member (32) changes from the detached position to the fixed position.

The safety lid can be used on cups. The lid has an outer wall and a flat roof near the outer wall. A red line is placed on the lower outer wall and on the outer edge of the roof. The outer wall and a safety ring thereon will have at least one or more complementary dents/indents. The safety ring is L-shaped and fits closely about the outer wall and roof. In order to secure the safety lid, the ring is pressed downward onto the lid on the cup. The red line on the roof of the lid is covered by the short leg of the L-shaped safety ring and the red line on the lower outer wall is covered by a lower wall section of the safety ring. Locking flaps or triangles may also be included to engage the cup.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses to optimize all stages of sparkling wine production using the Champagne method. For instance, there is a specially configured apparatus utilized for a method for producing sparkling wine within the wine bottle through a secondary fermentation. The apparatus is attached to the wine bottle to seal in pressure. Specifically, a neck collar of the apparatus is positioned upon a neck section and a sealing cap is pressed onto a mouth opening wine bottle above the neck collar and coupled to the neck collar of the apparatus. A tensioner of the apparatus induces a clamping force between the neck collar and the sealing cap to seal the pressure generated from fermentation. A pressure indicator measures and displays pressure which is retained and limited to a maximum pressure within the bottle via a Pressure Reduction Valve (PRV) of the apparatus. Sediment from fermentation is removed without freezing via a riddling operations and evacuation of sediment from an inverted bottle through a ball valve configured within the apparatus. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

The invention described herein relates to a threadless cap for a threadless bottle, the threadless cap comprising a threadless outer cap and a threadless inner cap, wherein the threadless inner cap is received in the threadless outer cap so as to define an annulus between them. When assembled, a bottle is received in the annulus with a portion of the threadless inner cap creating a plug that seals the bottle and a portion of the threadless outer cap over hanging the bottle. Both the outer cap and the inner sealingly engage the bottle using a threadless friction fit. To remove the cap from the bottle, one simply slides the cap off the bottle.

A toilet seat package includes a toilet seat, a cover, and a band. The cover encloses the toilet seat. The cover includes a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side, a fifth side, a sixth side, a first slot, and a second slot. The third side is contiguous with the first side and the second side. The fourth side is contiguous with the first side. The fifth side is contiguous with the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side. The sixth side is contiguous with the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side. The first slot extends from the first side through the fifth side. The second slot extends from the second side through the fifth side. An interaction between the band and the toilet seat biases the toilet seat against the sixth side.

The present invention is a heat-resistant receptacle cap comprising: an inner cap 100 having an insertion pipe 120 configured to be fitted onto an inlet of a receptacle with a locking hook, a discharge gate 140 connected to the insertion pipe 120 with a small-diameter pipe 145 and formed so that contents in the receptacle is discharged at the small-diameter pipe 145, and a container 200 which is installed at the bottom of the small-diameter pipe 145 and has an open upper part to hold additives therein; a heat-resistant sealing plate 220 configured to heat-seal the insertion pipe 120 and upper wall of the container 200; a sealing plate holder 300 which is provided with a fitting ring 310 that fits the sealing plate 220 to a corresponding part for coupling the heat-resistant sealing plate 220, and which is fitted at an upper end of an inner side wall of an outer cap 400; and the outer cap 400 having a sealing plate holder fixing step 420 which is formed on a side wall 401 and configured to separate the sealing plate holder 300 as the receptacle is opened.

The invention discloses a container stopper capable of being rapidly opened and closed, comprising a columnar plug body, the plunger body includes a stopper rod, the bottom portion of the stopper rod is provided with a base, the shape and size of the base correspond to the shape and size of the straight section of the container mouth or the minimum cross section of the container, the upper part of the base is provided with an annular plug body, a foldable and deformable elastic seal cartridge is arranged between the annular plug body and the base, the annular plug body and the base can both move mutually along the axial direction of the container in the container mouth under the effect of an external force to press the elastic seal cartridge, and the seal ring and the base together form a sealing layer which realizes the rapid closing of the container.

A pronged clamp apparatus for attaching a soda bottle to a home use carbonation machine, the apparatus includes a pronged clamp to receive the bottle, at a non-upright position prior to carbonation, the bottle having a neck ring, to attach the bottle to the carbonation machine when a user moves said bottle towards an upright position; a locking mechanism to lock the bottle to the carbonation machine via the neck ring in the upright position during carbonation; and an interlock operative within the locking mechanism utilizing the downward movement of the bottle under pressure to prevent the unlocking of the locking mechanism when there is excess pressure in the bottle.
