A lid for a container, with a lid body includes a handling body having a lid outer edge and an eating utensil part. The eating utensil part hinge has a hinge spacing from the lid outer edge of the handling body. An eating utensil part engagement-behind support body of the first handling part is formed between the eating utensil part hinge or the eating utensil part hinge pivot axis and the lid outer edge of the handling body. The eating utensil part engagement-behind support body is opposite the eating utensil part in the eating use setting on a first eating utensil part side of the eating utensil part so that for acceptance of use forces acting in a first force direction the eating utensil part is or can be directly or indirectly supported on the eating utensil part engagement-behind support body.

An article for extracting various viscous fluids and granular materials from a jar comprising a long shaft handle with a bowl at one end; the shaft passes through an annular grommet in the center of the container lid. When the shaft is lifted, the neck of the spoon moves through the grommet freely and the shoulder of the spoon lifts the container lid off the container. Contents of the container are then spooned out and when the bowl of the spoon is reinserted into the container, the lid slides down the shaft and back onto the container.

A disposable food container is configured with a lid that enables similar containers to be securely stacked and enables easy verification that loaded and stacked containers contain utensils and/or condiments.

Embodiments relate to a food container assembly having a removable internal dispensing bag or enclosure. Food product(s) such as baby food, liquids or other product(s) or material can be loaded and/or stored in the internal enclosure, which is then enclosed within an external protective enclosure, with an opening for access to product(s) stored in the internal enclosure. Straws, spoons, or other utensils can be used. The external enclosure can include snap fits or other connections to enclose the external enclosure around the internal enclosure, so that the internal enclosure can be accessed and removed for washing, reloading of food, or other handling. The external enclosure or other bag or enclosure can include a pocket for an ice pack or insulation. The external enclosure can protect against mold, fungus, or other spoilage or contamination, and can be used repeatedly to enclose bags storing various food products.

A lid assembly and a knife adapted to be attached to a jar, the lid assembly including: a cylindrical jar sleeve adapted to be secured to the open end of the jar and having a jar sleeve circumferential portion at the upper end thereof. The lid assembly also includes a lid adapted to be removably attached to the jar sleeve and having a lid circumferential portion, one of the lid and jar sleeve having a groove adapted to receive the circumferential portion of the other of the lid and jar sleeve.

A closure for a system that has an opening and an outwardly projecting flange. The closure includes a base for being installed at the system opening and a closing element for occluding the closure. The base has a skirt for attaching the closure to the system, the skirt has a lower end portion for being located adjacent the system flange when the base is installed at the system opening. The skirt lower end portion has (a) a first portion defining (i) an outer side, (ii) an inner side, and (iii) a bottom end, (b) a second portion having (i) a proximal end, and (ii) a distal end, and (c) a connecting portion connecting the first portion bottom end and the second portion proximal end to accommodate initial deflection of the second portion by the system flange toward the first portion inner side during installation of the base on the system.

A closure (100, 100A, 100B, 100C, 100D, 100F, 100G, 100H, 100I) having a base (112, 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D, 112F, 112G, 112H, 112I), a lid (116, 116A, 116B, 116D, 116F, 116I), and a utensil (124, 124A, 124B, 124E, 124F, 124G, 124I) is provided for a container (104). One of the base (112, 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D, 112F, 112G, 112H, 112I) and the lid (116, 116A, 116B, 116D, 116F, 116I) includes a raised platform region (198, 198A) for releasably holding the utensil (124, 124A, 124B, 124E, 124F, 124G, 124I) and includes a recessed region (194, 194A) such that a handle portion (172, 172B, 172E, 172F, 172G, 172I) of the utensil (124, 124A, 124B, 124E, 124F, 124G, 124I) projects beyond the platform region (198, 198A) over the recessed region (194, 194A).

A container (100) is provided comprising a junction member (200). A first compartment (300) has a silicone first compartment storage portion (302), and a first compartment band (304) positioned around a mouth end (306) of the first compartment storage portion (302), wherein the mouth end (306) comprises a mouth lip (310) configured to be sealingly retained between a junction member planar portion (202) and the first compartment band (304). The first compartment storage portion (302) is configured to be folded about one or more thin sections of silicone (316) to fit within a volume of the junction member band portion (204) when the first compartment (300) is coupled to the junction member (200). A second compartment (400) has a lid (402) and a base (404), wherein the second compartment (400) is slidingly couplable to the junction member (200), and wherein the second compartment (400) is couplable to the junction member rail (222).

The present invention discloses a food serving apparatus such as scoop designed to be magnetically mounted on top or underneath of a metallic lid of containers. The scoop comprises a bowl and a handle. The handle comprises a cavity, which includes at least two magnets separated by a small distance. The magnets are mounted within the cavity to hold the scoop on out side or in side of the metallic lid of the container. During the molding process, the molten plastic flows over and under the magnets to hold them in place in the cavity of the handle. The plastic encapsulated magnets in the handle avoids trapping of germs and other harmful biological microorganisms, thereby making the scoop very safe for storage on top surface or inside of the product container lids. Further, the scoop is made from food grade plastic material.
