Implementations described and claimed herein involve an easy fill bird feeding system. In one implementation, a depression is received of a release button on a cap assembly connected to a body defining a reservoir. The cap assembly has a cap opening providing access to the reservoir. A lid of the cap assembly is released at a first side upon the depression of the release button. The lid is moved from a closed position to an open position using a bias of a spring assembly upon the release of the lid. The lid moves from the closed position to the open position along a rotation path created by a hinge at a second side. The lid is held in the open position by the spring bias, and the open position provides access to the reservoir through the cap opening. Birdseed is received through the cap opening into the reservoir.

A lid may be sized and configured to be attached to a container and the lid may include a spout and a flip-top closure. The flip-top closure may be movable between open and closed positions relative to the spout. The lid may also include a carrying member with a loop-shaped configuration. The lid may further include one or more flanges and the flanges may include one or more protrusions. The protrusions may form a pivot point about which the flip-top closure pivots between the open and closed positions. The protrusions may also allow the carrying member to pivot independently of the flip-top closure.

A cap assembly for a container, including a base defining a base plane, a drink spout separate from the base and extending away from the base, a closure configured to selectively transition between a closed configuration, in which the closure is engaged with the drink spout and obstructs a passage through the drink spout, and an open configuration, in which the closure is not engaged with the drink spout and does not obstruct the passage through the drink spout, and a closure retention mechanism configured to retain the closure in any one of a plurality of stowed positions against the base.

The invention relates to a transport box (1), in particular for partially prepared meals and food, comprising a lower part (11) having a receiving space (2) limited by lateral walls (12) and at least one base (22). The receiving space (2) can be sealed by a cover (3). The cover (3) has a coolant space (33) for receiving a coolant (200). In addition, the lower part (11) has two receiving spaces (2). The receiving spaces (2) can be sealed by a respective cover (3). The covers (3) can be arranged in two cover positions (13, 23) sealing the receiving space (2). The cover positions (13, 23) differ in terms of a cooling effect that can be achieved by means of the coolant (200), such that the transport box (11) offers at least two different options for temperature control via the selection of the cover positions (13, 23).

A tamper-evident container closure (10) is provided and comprises a base (15) and a lid (20). The base and lid are connected together by a hinge (25) so that the lid can be moved between a closed position and an open position. The base is attachable to a container neck. Generally opposite the hinge the lid includes a retention member (35), the retention member includes or defines a window (39) and includes a retention portion for engagement with a cooperating portion on the closure and/or on a container neck for holding the lid in a closed position. The closure includes a tamper-evident member (40) at least part of which moves into or out of view with respect to the window to indicate opening of the closure.

A drink container including a liquid container having a neck with an opening and having an internal compartment sized to hold a volume of potable drink liquid and a cap assembly removably coupled to the liquid container, the cap assembly including a base removably coupled to the neck of the liquid container and including a through-passage extending through the base, a first catch structure coupled to the base, a mouthpiece assembly including a rigid collar member, a mouthpiece portion extending from the rigid collar member, and second catch structure adapted to be selectively engaged with the first catch structure, and a user release mechanism adapted to automatically disengage the first and second catch structures upon actuation of the user release mechanism.

The present invention relates to a storage container comprising a container body (18), a lid (16) placed on the container body, and an actuation apparatus configured to actuate the lid (16) to move between a closed position where the container is in the closed state and a release position where the container is in the ready to open state. One or more body cam surfaces (1852) are arranged on an outer surface of a side wall of the container body (18), and one or more lid cam surfaces (1642) are arranged on an inner surface of a neck portion of the lid in such a manner that the body cam surfaces (1852) are configured to oppose the corresponding lid cam surfaces (1642). The lid (16) is locked in the closed position by moving the lid in a first direction so as to bring the lid cam surfaces (1642) to abut on and engage with the body cam surfaces (1852), and the lid is moved to the release position by moving the lid in a second direction so as to disengage the lid cam surfaces (1642) from the body cam surfaces (1852). The mechanism for opening and closing the storage container is easy to manufacture, and simple and effortless to operate.

Described herein are methods and systems for containing and releasing insects in a selective manner. An example system may include a container that defines and inner volume, the container open at one end, a lid, and a roosting panel. The lid includes a port defining a load-release pathway that interfaces with an insect sorting device and enables release of insects from within the container. The roosting panel may be coupled to the lid and extend into the inner volume when the lid is secured to the container. The roosting panel includes surface for insects to grasp onto within the inner volume.

An insulated container having a canister can be sealed by a lid structure. The lid structure can be a multi-part insulated lid. The lid can include a vent configured to vent air from inside the canister. In addition, the container may be part of a container kit or container system where one or more inner containers, are nested and secured within the insulated container.

Container assemblies and methods suitable for cooking, transporting, and storing the contents of the container assemblies while maintaining the contents therein at a desired temperature. Such a container assembly includes a container having a lower wall, side walls, and an opening opposite the lower wall that provides access to a cavity within the container. The container assembly further includes a lid configured to releasably attach to the side walls and thereby enclose the cavity to define a storage compartment. A thermal mass is coupled to an interior side of the lid such that at least a portion of the thermal mass faces and is exposed to the storage compartment when the lid is attached to the container. The thermal mass is configured to be heated to an elevated temperature or cooled to a reduced temperature and maintain the elevated or reduced temperature for a period of time.
