The present invention relates to a container for keeping fermented food, having for example, a main body for accommodating fermented food in an interior space; a pressing plate coming into contact with the surface of the fermented food in the main body; and a cover for blocking the opening of inside of the main body; wherein the main body has a stepped part protruded inwards from the inner circumferential surface of a neck part at an upper end portion, and the pressing plate has a protruded rim provided to the periphery of the upper end portion thereof so as to be placed on the stepped part, a vertical section provided to the lower end of the protruded rim and having an outer circumferential surface coming into contact with the inner circumferential surface of the stepped part, and a round surface provided at the lower end of the vertical section and having a bottom surface part coming into contact with the surface of the fermented food.

A reusable apparatus for storing and delivering a sterile product. The apparatus includes a compressible reservoir adapted to allow for filling, storing, and delivering the sterile product, and a sterile inlet and outlet device including an inlet portion and an outlet portion. The sterile inlet and outlet device is connected to the compressible reservoir and adapted to allow the sterile product to be filled from exterior to the reusable apparatus and into the compressible reservoir through the inlet portion and adapted to allow the sterile product to be delivered from the compressible reservoir through the outlet portion.

Covers for sealing and/or bonding with an exposed surface of an animal feed within a container include a flexible film that conforms to the animal feed and a rigid or semi-rigid layer that allows the cover to be handled by an operator during placement of the cover over the animal feed composition while the composition is at elevated temperatures. The polymer film may include a heat-activated coating that establishes a bond with the animal feed when the feed is at elevated temperatures or when an external heat source is applied to the cover. The heat-activated coating may be flowable at a temperature of at least about 125 F. Upon placement of the cover over the animal feed, the film conforms to the exposed surface of the feed and the cover forms a seal with the animal feed as flowable coating reaches a flowable temperature.

Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to an internal cover/vent handle arrangement, in association with a container, such as a 5 gallon bucket with a slanted sidewall for evacuating air volume above stored material. The disclosure relates to a squeeze-actuated vent valve arrangement arranged and configured to be easily operated even while deeply recessed in the bucket. The disclosure also relates to a deflectable outer seal arrangement configured to seal against a slanted sidewall of a bucket.

Humidity control devices for consumer products and methods for making the same. In particular, a humidity control device may contain a humidity control agent for controlling the relative humidity (RH) within a packaged consumer product, such as a food, pharmaceutical, herb, or any other suitable consumer product. In some embodiments, the humidity control device may be attached to, or integrated with, the product packaging. For example, the device may be fixedly or removably adhered to an inside wall of a product package. In some embodiments, the device may be constructed or formed on the product packaging material, such that the device is an integral part of the product packaging material.

A preservation device are used to preserve liquids and other items, such as foodstuffs, which spoil when exposed to oxygen for a period of time. The preservation devices are configured to form an air tight seal when disposed on a bottle and/or a vessel. The devices include a container, and disposed within the container is an oxygen absorber, which removes oxygen remaining in the bottle or vessel after it is sealed by the preservation device. Either the container or the oxygen absorber has a gas permeable, liquid impermeable membrane. The preservation device may also include a flow control mechanism that enables a liquid to be dispensed from the bottle without requiring the removal of the entire stopper device from the bottle. The preservation device may alternatively include an air channel system to control the flow of the liquid to be dispensed from the bottle without requiring the removal of the entire stopper device from the bottle. Such arrangements enable the liquid to be dispensed while only allowing a minimal amount of oxygen to enter the bottle, thus improving preservation.

The invention relates to a capsule (100) for preparing a beverage in a beverage preparation machine. The capsule (100) comprises a capsule body (110) with a sidewall (111) and a bottom wall (120). The sidewall (111) and the bottom wall (120) delimit a chamber (150) for a substance that is used for the preparation of the beverage. The chamber (150) has an opening (151) opposite to the bottom wall (120) with respect to the chamber (150). The sidewall (111) and/or the bottom wall (120) is/are made from a compostable multilayered sheet material (200), which has a moisture and oxygen barrier function. The sheet material (200) comprises a primary sheet layer (210), which is made of a formable cellulose-based material. The sheet material (200) further comprises one or more secondary layers (220) that comprise at least a moisture barrier layer (221) for the moisture barrier function. The invention also relates to a method for producing said capsule (100).

A closure device for a container to provide a combined protection of inert gas and oxygen scavenger methods. The closure device comprises a body, a fastening member, one or more plurality of protrusions, a blister, a hollow shaft, and a seal member. The closure device is removably coupled to an open end of the container through a fastening assembly. The fastening assembly includes at least one of friction fit, a snap fit, a screw fit, or any of a variety of fastening mechanisms. The closure device provides a combined protection of inert gas and oxygen scavenger methods. This is beneficial because it prevents nutritional and organoleptic degradation processes of wine through oxidation while aids to preserve the fruitier and fresher aromas and flavors of the wine. The closure device is designed to fit snugly over the neck of the bottle and create an airtight seal.

A consumer product having a detergent product and a container, the container having a box, a lid for the box, and a lock to maintain the lid in a closed position, where a transversal wall of the box is connected to a specific sidewall and to another sidewall of the box.
