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.

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.

A drinking cup having a receptacle with an open end and a lid assembly configured for releasable engagement with the receptacle over the open end. A lid assembly wall has an inner surface and an inner ring extending radially inward therefrom. The inner ring defines a plurality of fluid passages. A seal assembly is configured to be retained by the inner ring, with the seal assembly being resiliently deformable between a sealed configuration and an unsealed configuration. In the sealed configuration, the upper lip sealingly engages the inner surface and fluid is prevented from flowing through a lid assembly volume defined between the lid assembly and the seal assembly. In the open configuration fluid is permitted to flow from the receptacle, through the plurality of fluid passages, and between a gap defined by a portion of the seal lip and a corresponding portion of the sealing surface.

A removable lid for selectively sealing a storage vessel is provided, the storage vessel including a base and a continuous sidewall. The removable lid comprises a main body having a bottom surface and a top surface. A tab is movably secured to the main body and the tab is selectively movable between a first position and a second position. A gasket is secured to the bottom surface, and a vent is formed in the gasket. The vent includes an aperture extending from an outer gasket side to an inner gasket side and the vent further includes a vent seal. A sealing protrusion is disposed on the tab. The sealing protrusion includes a sealing face disposed on a distal end of the sealing protrusion, wherein when the tab is disposed in the first position, the sealing face contacts the vent seal and forms a seal with the vent seal to retard fluid flow across the gasket.

An openable and closeable lid assembly is provided for a beverage container. The lid assembly comprises a lid housing, an actuator and a seal. The lid housing has an upper surface with a drink aperture and an actuator aperture extending therethrough. The actuator extends through the actuator aperture and is positionable in an open position, where liquid can pass through the drink aperture, and a closed position, where the drink aperture is closed. A seal is provided adjacent the actuator aperture. The seal seals against the actuator and the lid housing to prevent liquid from escaping out the actuator aperture.

A multifunctional pot with cap and valve, having a body portion, a cap portion and a multifunction valve provided in the body of the pot, that prevents splashes and promotes additional safety and protection to the pot. The pot has a multifunction valve that has the function of relieving eventual internal pressures and also to act in the full closing of the pot, consequently protecting the product contained inside, for which it features the body of the pot comprising an upper surrounding border being turned over, and therefrom extends and articulates, centrally in its front portion, the pressure relief valve, which is formed by an oblong and laminar tongue provided with an extreme circular salience for fitting in the hole on the cap.

Disclosed is a container capable of being quickly opened. The container comprises a container body and a container cover, wherein a sealing structure used for sealing the container body and the container cover is arranged on the container cover; the sealing structure comprises a base on the lower side of the container cover; an elastic sealing sleeve capable of being bent and deformed is arranged between the base and the container cover; a pulling plate penetrating the container cover is arranged on the upper side of the base; a gland is arranged on the upper side of the container cover; a rotating pin is arranged between the gland and the pulling plate.

A beverage container having a fragrant component, and related materials and methods of manufacturing the beverage container, are described. The beverage container may be a bottle assembly including the fragrant component between a finish of the bottle and a cap. The fragrant component may be encased and protected between the cap and the finish, and upon removal of the cap, the fragrant component may remain on the finish and be exposed to release a fragrance. The fragrance can contribute to an experience of a consumer when the consumer drinks a beverage from the bottle. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

The invention relates to a lid for a container, in particular for a can, comprising: a lid surface (110) with a first opening (115) passing through the lid surface; an inner element (120), which is arranged on an inner side of the lid surface and has a ventilating opening (125), which passes through the inner element and is aligned with the first opening; an actuating element (130), which is arranged on an outer side of the lid surface and is formed preferably from plastics material, wherein the actuating element has a first (141) and a second (142) articulation region, said regions subdividing the actuating element into a first (131), a second (132) and a third (133) portion, and the second portion is arranged between the first and the third portions; wherein the first portion of the actuating element is arranged in abutment against the lid surface; the second portion of the actuating element can be pivoted relative to the first portion about the first articulation region and the second portion has a closing element, in particular a bung (135), for closing the ventilating opening; the third portion of the actuating element can be pivoted relative to the second portion about the second articulation region and the third portion has a first coupling element (161); and the inner element has a second coupling element (162), which can be coupled to the first coupling element.

Closure for a container mouth, the closure comprising: a cover portion (18) for covering at least a portion of the container mouth; a fastener portion (20) for engaging the container for fastening the closure to the container; and a peelable bracing portion (22) extending generally in a circumferential direction of or around an axis of the closure, the bracing portion overlapping at least partly the cover portion and the fastener portion, and configured to reinforce the closure by bearing, as shear stress at an interface between the bracing portion and at least one of the cover portion and fastener portion, support force in or between one or both of the cover portion and the fastener portion.
