A lid for a beverage container having a first drinking opening, a second drinking opening, and a selector. The selector is configured to linearly slide between a first position in which the first drinking opening is accessible and the second drinking opening is inaccessible, and a second position in which the second drinking opening is accessible and the first drinking opening is inaccessible.

A recyclable or reusable assembly is described. The assembly includes a lid having a first side disposed opposite a second side that engages an opening of a container and a hole extending through a width of the lid. The assembly also includes at least a straw having a first portion and a second portion. The assembly further includes a first sealing plug affixed to a first side of the first portion of the straw and a second sealing plug affixed to a first side of the second portion of the straw. The assembly also includes at least one mechanism to secure the first sealing plug and the second sealing plug to the lid or the straw.

A lid, a container with a lid, a combination of the lid and the container, and a method for manufacturing the lid, which are capable of suppressing moisture permeation into fibers constituting the lid and capable of bonding the container and the lid by a sealing method even when the types of resin forming a resin coating layer formed on the surface of the container are varied. The lid is formed so as to be in contact with a container having an edge, and is formed of a blank material, the blank material includes a fiber sheet including fibers formed of a paper-based material, and a resin material is attached to at least some of the fibers forming an inside of the fiber sheet.

A lid, container with a lid, and a combination of a lid and container for suppressing spurts of content wherein the lid includes a main body in contact with a container including an opening and edge, the main body including an insertion part forming an insertion hole including a hole lid covering the insertion hole and a weakened part forming at least part of an outer circumferential edge of the hole lid, the weakened part includes several cuts penetrating the main body and a non-penetrating part, the insertion hole is formed by applying stress to the insertion part from outside, and when the insertion hole is formed, the non-penetrating part breaks, the broken non-penetrating part forms a fracture surface, the hole lid is displaced together with the fracture surface, and at least part of the fracture surface is located at the hole lid tip.

A method for penetrating a pierceable cap (11) on a vessel (21). The pierceable cap (11) prevents escape of sample specimens from the vessel (21) before transfer with a transfer device (43). The pierceable cap (11) may fit over a vessel (21). An access port in the shell of the pierceable cap (11) may allow passage of a transfer device (43) through the pierceable cap (11). At least one frangible layer (215, 216) may be configured with cross slits (506) in a particular cross slit geometry. The cross slits (506) may contain an openable portion (644) or be covered by a thin membrane (645). The shell (610) and frangible layer(s) (215, 216) may be integrated into a one piece cap (601), or be separate components (634). The membrane on which the cross slits 506 are placed can be flat or contoured to guide the transfer device (43) to the cross slits (506). The flat surfaces are supported by rib structures (620, 621) that extend radially inward and downward into the vessel (21).
