Methods for manufacturing a crown for a bottle or other container has a top portion and an annular skirt that descends contiguously from the top portion. An opener assembly and an arrangement of frangible scoring lines on the crown allow for ease of opening the bottle or container. Corrugated embodiments provide material strengthening for a reduced gauge crown.

A composite closure including a panel and an outer portion defining a recess into which the panel is received. The composite closure may be coupled with a container. The panel deflects downward toward the container when the composite closure is sealed with the container and the interior of the container is under vacuum.

A canister includes a container and a closure. The container is formed to include a product-storage region and an open mouth that opens into the product-storage region. The closure is configured to couple to the container to close the open mouth.

A packaged roast and ground coffee product comprising a lightweight, thin-walled reclosable container comprising a moisture barrier and an oxygen barrier, and a quantity of roast and ground coffee disposed within the container. The container comprises a finish having a top surface and one or more snap beads positioned below the top surface. A sealing member may be sealed to the top surface and may include a one-way valve permitting venting of CO.sub.2 resulting from off-gassing of the roast and ground coffee while preventing ingress of air. A removable overcap comprising a top wall and a depending skirt may be affixed to the finish. The skirt may include an inner surface with at least one locking member dimensioned to engage the snap beads in an interference fit. The packaged roast and ground coffee is preferably capable of withstanding stacking loads and loads associated with decreased interior pressure.

The invention relates to lids for cans for receiving foodstuff which are to be subjected to a thermal treatment above 50 C. as sterilization or at least pasteurization. The lid (1) has an annular ring (2) seamable to the can body which ring can be firmly and sealingly connected with the can body rim portion and a cover panel (3) which is sealingly disposed (13) to said ring. The annular ring comprises a flat web (6) that points towards a vertical central axis (8) of the lid and is axially outwardly inclined (11) with respect to a horizontal plane (15). The cover panel (3) is sealed to the flat inclined web by means of a radially outer ring band (3a). A central area (3b) that is surrounded by the ring band is axially inwardly preformed towards an interior in a dome or bowl-shaped fashion and thereby stabilized. After closing of the can, it is subjected to the thermal treatment. Upon a change in pressure (in the closed can) occurring during this thermal treatment the cover panel changes from the preformed position (3b) to an axially outwardly directed bowl/dome-shaped position (3b). After cooling the closed can, the cover panel (3) returnsat least substantially exactlyinto its preformed position.

The invention relates to a method of packaging wine in a container essentially consisting of a plastics material glass closed by a lid, wherein a lid is sealed to the rim of the glass and, while sealing the lid, the container is deformed to reduce the volume of the head space.

A container with a reusable cap, including a glass receptacle (10) with a receptacle opening (11) surrounded by an annular mouth (12) and by a cylindrical neck (13) including a retention configuration; a cap (20) including a closing portion (30) completely covering the receptacle opening (11) and an engagement portion (40) made of a metal sheet; a releasable closure mechanism connecting the engagement portion (40) with the retention configurations and a sealing ring (50), the engagement portion including radial protrusions (41), directed inwards and determining a local narrowing, the sealing ring (50) being not adhered to the cap and being retained within the cap (20).

A drum for transporting and/or storing batteries, the drum having an internal storage space having a volume, and the drum being provided with a lid to close off the storage space The lid is provided with one or more openings for venting gas from the storage space to the atmosphere. One or more openings have a total surface area of at least 1.0 square centimeter per liter volume of the storage space. On an outside of the lid is at least one sheet of foil which covers a first group of two or more of said openings, in which the sheet of foil is connected to the lid completely around the first group of openings.

The present invention relates to a push button made from one selected from soft synthetic resin and soft silicone, comprising: a protruding annular rim protruding downward from the circumferential direction of the perimeter of a support part; a guide groove for the linear movement of a pressing part, which is recessed downward from a portion at which the outer circumferential end portion of the pressing part and the upper end of a height-varying part are in contact with each other; and a cylindrical airtightness-maintaining rod for vertically moving downward by the pressing of the pressing part.
