A lid structure, which is used for covering an opening of a container, includes a mainbody, an elastic annular element, and a covering assembly. The mainbody includes a through hole. The elastic annular element is integrally disposed on a peripheral region of the mainbody, wherein the elastic annular element is used for positioning the lid structure on the opening. The covering assembly is disposed on the mainbody and includes a spacer element and a covering element. The spacer element is disposed on and covers the through hole. The spacer element includes a plurality of drain holes and a central connecting portion. The covering element is deformably disposed on the central connecting portion.

The present invention concerns a multi-flow cap which comprises: a main body with means for connecting to the neck of a recipient two flow outlet openings of unequal sizes, such that they define a large opening and a small opening.

To provide an improved multi-flow cap which also reduces or minimizes spurting of the fluid contained in the recipient, it is proposed according to the invention that the two openings of the multi-flow cap are comprised in an insert connected to the main body and in that the insert additionally comprises a plurality of baffles distributed along an inner perimeter and arranged such that each opening is partially coincident with at least one baffle in the outlet direction of the flow.

A resealable, tamper-evident, low cost plug for an edible oil (or other foodstuffs) container is contemplated. The plug includes a single-piece, hinged construction with the base panel having a removable diaphragm revealing an opening that is sealed by structure provided on the hinged panel. Smooth pouring features may also be incorporated within and/or beneath the opening.

A device that assists with equalizing air pressure within a bottle with the atmospheric air pressure as liquid is being poured from the bottle and includes one or more relatively short air tubes. The air tubes are situated with an upper inlet rim of the air tubes located flush with or relatively near the bottle rim. Whether an insert or integrated into the manufacture of a container, the one or more air tubes that extend partially into the container allow air to pass into the container as the liquid exits the container. The pressure equalizer not only minimizes or prevents the common glugging effect, but it allows liquid from a bottle to be poured smoothly at any angle and orientation. A cap incorporating a detachable pressure equalizer is also described.

A flow selector configured for selectively or optionally regulating flow of liquid from a container is disclosed.

Fitment and container for powdered products, especially powdered products prone to clumping behavior, comprising a stopper that closes the passageway between the interior chamber and the mouth of the container, a pour spout in the stopper that permits the powdered product to flow through the passageway during a pouring operation, and one or more baffles connected to the stopper and extending into the interior chamber of the container, the baffles being configured to break apart clumps of the powdered product before the clumps can flow through the pour spout. The pour spout further includes a restriction element, associated with the pour spout, configured to break apart clumps that reach the pour spout without being broken apart by the baffles. The invention promotes a consistent and predictable rate of flow in the stream of powdered product flowing out of the container during the pouring operation.

Systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed for transferring a substance into an open top container. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems, apparatus, and methods to reduce splashing, splattering, and/or spillage while transferring a fluid from one container to another. Even more specifically, the present disclosure relates to a kitchen utensil including a body member for positioning within the container, the body member having a surface for receiving the substance and guiding the substance into the container; and an attachment mechanism for removably securing the utensil to a wall of the container.

A bottle body and bottle neck member for producing a liquid flow standing wave aesthetic effect when liquid is poured from the bottle. The bottle has at least a first continuously formed liquid flow band member extending around an inner neck member circumferential surface of the bottle body and at least one discontinuously formed band member extending at least partially around an internal neck member surface of the bottle neck member with the at least first continuously formed liquid flow band member being displaced from the at least discontinuously formed band member along an axis line of the bottle body and bottle neck member.

A composite container lid comprising an inner plug 1 with a flow-out port and an upper lid 3 detachably attached to a container mouth portion 80, wherein the inner plug 1 includes an upper lid engaging cylinder 5, a container mouth portion-securing member 7 having a circumferential wall 9 that surrounds the upper lid engaging cylinder 5, and linking pieces 11 that link the inner surface of the circumferential wall 9 to the upper lid engaging cylinder 5 so as to form a flow-out port 13; the upper lid engaging cylinder 5 is provided, on the upper end portion of the outer surface thereof, with a circumferential protuberance 5a for temporary engagement; engaging pieces 37 are formed on the inner surface of a top plate 31 of the upper lid 3, the engaging pieces 37 having an undercut 37a for temporarily engaging with the circumferential protuberance 5a that temporary engages with the upper lid engaging cylinder; and a sound-suppressing protrusion 50 is provided in a region surrounded by the engaging pieces 37.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to caps, closures, seals, and containers, and control of flow of fluids. Certain embodiments can be used with fluids related to machinery, for instance, engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure effectively hold and transfer a fluid or a fluid substance, further being able to open, close, and regulate fluid flow. Embodiments include a single piece tubular component that includes a cap interiorly attached to such tubular component with ribs, and a container having a tapered end. In certain embodiments, a tube is attached to the cap. In certain embodiments, a nozzle collar having a tapered end is adapted to attach to a container.
