RELIEF VALVES AND METHODS FOR INSTALLING THE SAME
A relief valve can include a valve body, a valve member, a valve stem, and a magnetic member. The valve body can define a flow path that extends between a first port and a second port. The valve body can include a valve seat disposed between the first port and the second port. The valve member can be disposed between the valve seat and the second port of the valve body. The valve member can move along an actuation axis. The valve stem can be coupled to the valve member. The valve stem can extend from the valve member towards the first port. The magnetic member can be coupled to the valve member and can generate a magnetic force that urges the valve member to seal with the valve seat of the valve body.
CONTAINER LID
A container lid includes a base defining (1) a base receiver centrally disposed in the base, and (2) a drinking opening off-center in the base. A cover, defining a straw opening, includes a catch rotatably disposed in the receiver. A gasket defines a slit aligned with the straw opening for receiving a straw. The cover is rotatably positionable in a first position where the slit is aligned with the drinking opening. The cover is rotatably positionable in a second position where the slit is mis-aligned with the drinking opening.

END CLOSURE WITH A RING PULL ACTUATED SECONDARY VENT
The present invention relates to a container end closure that generally comprises a pour opening and a secondary vent opening which improves venting during emptying of contents from the container. In particular, the present invention relates to an end closure for a container having scores defining a secondary vent opening which may optionally be opened. The secondary vent opening has a significantly larger area then vents of prior art designs and thereby improves pour rate and smoothness of pour. After the pour opening is opened using a pull tab interconnected to the end closure, a consumer may selectively open the secondary vent opening by pulling back on the tab.
Container for Providing Aromatic Sampling and Visualization of Contents
Aspects of the present invention disclose and describe embodiment containers for displaying, visualizing, and aroma sampling botanical materialssuch as tea, cannabis, and the like including a container body, lid, and lenswhich may have various shapes. In a preferred embodiment, lid is shaped to define a recessed area with scent openings permitting aroma sampling of a sample contained within. A removable plug is shaped to fit within the recessed area of the lid. The container body and lid, with removable plug fit within the lid, form an airtight chamber within. A botanical sample may be visualized through the lens.

The secondary vent opening has a significantly larger area then vents of prior art designs and thereby improves pour rate and smoothness of pour. After the pour opening is opened using a pull tab interconnected to the end closure, a consumer may selectively open the secondary vent opening by pulling back on the tab.
PRESSURISED CONTAINER WITH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
A stretch blow moulded container such as a keg has a neck 3 fitted with a cap 4 to retain pressurised contents within the container. A miniature pressure relief valve (PRV) 30-33 is contained within the wall thickness of the neck to release gases on the occurrence of an overpressure event. The PRV may incorporate a bursting element, which renders the containers unusable, or a spring-loaded seal 30 which re-seals after the release of excess pressure. The PRV may also be permanently changed to an open condition by removal of the cap, preventing re-use of the container.
Connector, Socket, and Liquid Storing Container
Provided is a connector including a plug to be fixed to an inner peripheral surface of an opening of a liquid storing container, and a socket to be detachably attached to the plug. The plug includes a plug body including, formed therein, a first liquid outflow passage, a first liquid inflow passage, and a first gas passage. The socket includes: a socket body including, formed therein, a second liquid outflow passage, a second liquid inflow passage, and a second gas passage; and a ball lock mechanism that allows lock balls to be engaged with engagement grooves formed along a circumferential direction about an axial line in an outer peripheral surface of the opening of the liquid storing container and fixes the lock balls to the engagement grooves.
Protective cap for a dispenser, and discharge device for discharging pharmaceutical and/or cosmetical liquids
A protective cap for a dispenser for discharging liquids, wherein the dispenser has a liquid reservoir and an outlet opening through which the liquid is discharged into a surrounding atmosphere. The protective cap has an inner cap and an outer cap, the inner cap having a ventilation opening for communication between an interior of the protective cap and an external environment. Before use, the outer cap is mounted on the inner cap in a first position with the inner cap and the outer cap in sealing contact with each other and the ventilation opening is separated in an airtight and germproof manner from the environment, and the outer cap is movable relative to the inner cap from the first position to a second position in which the inner and outer caps are out of sealing contact with each other and the ventilation opening communicates with the environment.
Protective cap for a dispenser, and discharge device for discharging pharmaceutical and/or cosmetical liquids
The invention relates to a protective cap for a dispenser, and to a dispenser for discharging pharmaceutical and/or cosmetical liquids, wherein the dispenser has a liquid reservoir and an outlet opening through which the liquid can be discharged into a surrounding atmosphere. The protective cap comprises an outer cap and an inner element inserted therein, wherein either at least one ventilation channel, which can be closed by means of a shut-off element and provides communication between an interior of the protective cap and an external environment, is formed between the outer cap and the inner element, or the inner element closes a ventilation opening of the outer cap.
