Disclosed is a lid for a beverage container configured to retain a beverage from a brewer or other source of beverage. The lid is configured to substantially cover or enclose an opening of the beverage container for receiving a beverage into a vessel of the container. The lid further includes a base and a door, the door being slidable with respect to the base from a first closed position that prevents access to the opening to a second opened position that permits access to the opening. The door further including a first and second panel that are connected together each other along a pivot axis. The second panel is pivotable with respect to the first panel when the door is slid from the first closed position.

Network-connected (i.e., “smart”) containers are described herein that include an electronic display on which personalized information can be presented. For example, the electronic display (and other necessary components, such as memory, processors, and communication modules) can be integrated into the cap or the body of a container, which holds a skin care product (e.g., a medication or a personal care product, such as a cosmetic) that is applied by the user as part of a skin care regimen. More specifically, a smart container can include an electronic display that presents relevant information to a user for review. Such information can include the name of the skin care product, textual instructions for complying with a skin care regimen, animations illustrating how to apply the skin care product, user information, messages (e.g., text messages delivered via a cloud service), notifications, and device information (e.g., battery status and network connectivity status).

A bottle with sensors for probing and optimizing bottling line performance is disclosed. According to one embodiment a bottle, comprises an outer layer and a reservoir tube inside the outer layer that connects a reservoir inside the outer layer to a neck of the bottle.

The outer ring configured to rotate around the inner cover. The inner cover and the outer ring may be manipulated relative to each other to be in a number of different configurations, including a locked position, an unlocked position and an open position. The inner cover including a lid pivotably mounted to the inner cover from a closed position to an open position. The lid including a free end. The outer ring including a front tab capable of flexing radially inward towards the inner cover. The dispensing cap configured in the unlocked position capable of flipping up the lid when the free end of the lid aligns with the front tab of the outer ring. When the front tab is pushed radially inward, an underside surface at the free end of the lid is exposed to allow the lid to pivot to the open position.

A housing unit for cigars with the main compartment having a cuboid shape. The cigar box has a rear wall having a height equal to a front wall, a bottom floor, a left-side wall having a height equal to a right-side wall and a two-part lid located on a top of the main compartment. The two-part lid has a rectangular portion hingably connected to a second rectangular portion with a first hinge that hingably connects the first rectangular portion with the second rectangular portion so that the first rectangular portion rotates about 180 degrees with respect to the second rectangular portion. The cigar box also has a second hinge that rotatably connects a rear of the second rectangular portion to a top of the rear wall such that the second rectangular portion rotates about 225 degrees with respect to the rear wall.
