Containers featuring improved food integrity and takeout experience
A container lid and base assembly includes lid and base stacking features, as well as base chamfers that align with vents provided in the lid. When a plurality of the container assemblies is stacked, the lid and base stacking features nest with each other, while the chamfers align with corresponding vents in the stacked assemblies so that none of the vents is blocked by a next-higher container assembly. The stacking features can be centrally located, and the vents can be peripherally located. A plurality of the container assemblies can have differing sizes and/or shapes, while including mutually compatible stacking features, thereby enabling container assemblies of differing sizes to be stacked without blocking any of the vents thereof. The vents can be holes or “C” vents. The lid and/or base can be manufacturable by thermoforming. The lid and base can be separate, or joined by a hinge.
Dual-purpose container closure
A dual-access closure for a beverage container has a body having an attachment interface to engage to a top of a beverage container, a sealed, elongated enclosure attached to an underside of the body, a first access element adapted to open and close a first opening passing through the body into the sealed, elongated enclosure, a vapor-producing apparatus within the sealed, elongated enclosure and coupled to the first opening, and a second access element adapted to open and close a second opening passing through the body, outside the sealed, elongated enclosure. With the body engaged to the top of the beverage container, a user is enabled to manipulate the first access interface to draw vapor from the vapor-producing apparatus, and to manipulate the second access element to ingest a beverage from the beverage container.
A BEVERAGE FILTRATION DEVICE
Beverage filtration device including a lid body having an internal housing configured to hold an ion exchange resin-filed cartridge therein having a connection end and a top end having an opening therein, and, stem body having a cap region, collar, beverage conduit and stem air tube. The cap region couples to the connection end of the lid body to form a liquid-tight seal there-between. A collar wall first portion fits inside a beverage mouth container and a second portion located outside of the mouth. The beverage conduit spans the collar, a first conduit opening open to the coupling between the cap region the connection end and a second conduit open to a container interior. The stem body air tube extends through the collar, a proximal opening of the stem body air tube opens to an air vent hole located in the second portion of the collar wall, and, a distil opening of the stem body air tube opens to the container interior.
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.
CONTAINER LID WITH INTEGRATED VENT BLOCKING MECHANISM
Embodiments relate to a container lid with vent holes that are blocked for storage but automatically unblocked when a container attached to the container lid is heated. The heating of the container lid causes the pressure to build in the container, which pushes up an upper portion of the container lid. When the upper portion of the container lid is pushed up, the vent holes are unblocked and enable air or vapor to escape through the vent holes. In this way, the container lid may seal the container during storage but enables automatic venting during the heating of the container to prevent buildup of excessive pressure within the container.
Lid With Automatic Open And Close Retention Mechanism
A beverage container lid comprising a body having drinking hole and an air hole, and a slide-seal automatic Open and Close retention mechanism that comprises a sealing arm pivotally connected to the body, a movement and position retention linkage structured and operable to move the sealing arm between an Opened and a Closed position, a control mechanism slidingly disposed within the body and operably connected to the movement and position retention linkage such that movement of the control mechanism will control movement of the sealing arm between the Opened and Closed positions, and a biasing device structured and operable to exert constant force on the sealing arm, such that force exerted by the biasing device in combination with the structure and operation of the movement and position retention linkage will selectively retain the sealing arm in the Opened position and in the Closed position.
MULTI-USE CHILD PROTECTIVE PACKAGING CONTAINER WITH PURGE AND HUMIDITY CONTROL
Disclosed herein are multi-use child resistant packaging containers that are capable of protecting children from accessing the contents inside while also controlling the environment of the storage compartment wherein the contents reside. The containers are capable of being used to package goods, including perishable goods, and include valves and/or seals that facilitate purging of the oxygen and other gas from the container storage compartment after the contents have been sealed within the container by either the packager and/or end-user thereby extending shelf-life and freshness. Humidity control packet inserts housed within the lid and separated by a physical barrier from the storage compartment to mitigate against contamination and/or adulteration of the contents are disclosed. The humidity control inserts may be employed with or without a lid that includes the valves and/or seals that facilitate purging of the storage compartment. The packaging containers are particularly well suited for small and medium batch packaging of bio-degradable material that may be stored for extended periods of time prior to use and then repeatedly accessed over time by an end-user or consumer.
Container for keeping fermented food
Disclosed is a container for keeping fermented food, including a body configured to contain the fermented food therein, a cover configured to close the body, and a sealing sheet configured to maintain airtightness between the body and the cover. The cover includes a plurality of gas flow channels which extend from a center of a bottom surface to an inner peripheral surface, and a plurality of gas discharge channels which extend from an upper end of the inner peripheral surface to a lower end. In addition, the sealing sheet has a through-hole to allow an interior and an exterior of the body to communicate with each other.
Package for laundry scent additive
A package for a particulate laundry scent additive.
RECLOSURE SYSTEM AND THE USE OF SUCH RECLOSURE SYSTEM
A reclosure system comprising a bottle and a reversible lid. The bottle (100a-100e) comprises a bottle neck (4a-4e) having an axial extension and a mouth (6a-6e) providing access to the interior of the bottle (100a-100e). The bottle neck (4a-4e) comprises a circumferential wall portion (5a-5e) being provided with a first locking means (7a-7e). The reversible lid (200a-200e) is configured to be removably connected to the bottle neck (4a-4e). A first side (21a-21e) of the reversible lid (200a-200f) comprises a collar (23a-23e) comprising a second locking means (27a-27e) configured to selectively allow the reversible lid (200a-200e) to sealingly close off the mouth (6a-6e) of the bottle neck (4a-4e) by the second locking means (27a-27e) engaging the first locking means (7a-7e) of the bottle neck (4a-4e). A second side (22a-22e) of the reversible lid (200a-200e), opposite the first side (21a-21e), comprises a third locking means (30a-30e) configured to selectively engage the bottle neck (4a-4e). In a condition when the third locking means (30a-30e) engages the bottle neck (4a-4e), a through-going venting hole (8a-8e) is defined in an interface between the reversible lid (200a-200e) and the bottle neck (4a-4e), said through-going venting hole (8a-8e) allowing a communication (A; B) between the interior of the bottle (100a-100e) and the ambience.
