The Utility Model discloses a barrel with reinforced barrel rim, comprising a barrel body, and a barrel rim upwards extending along the barrel body, wherein a clamping strip extruded from the barrel rim is set around the barrel rim on four sides, the four sides of the barrel rim above the clamping strip are inclined towards the center of the barrel rim, and when the angle between the clamping strip and the four sides of the barrel rim is defined to be A, A is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 135°. The barrel rim in this patent application is reinforced, the inclination design provides the barrel rim the guiding function that when the barrel cover is hung at the barrel rim on the production line, the barrel cover can fall towards the barrel rim along the inclination in a correct way so as to be convenient for the following press; besides, the inclination of the barrel rim can separate the stress of the barrel rim so that the barrel rim can bear more pressure and hardly be deformed when being pressed.

Systems and methods for a single serving beverage preparation cup are provided. The single serving beverage preparation cup may include a plurality of reverse teardrop ribs that may channel water combined with dried ingredients, for example coffee grounds, through the single serving beverage preparation cup. By channeling the combined water and dried ingredients through the single serving beverage preparation cup, the pressure within the single serving beverage preparation cup is reduced, an avenue for extraction is created, varying amounts of dried ingredients can be added, and water may be exposed to a greater proportion of dried ingredients than in conventional systems.

In an embodiment, the invention comprises a container apparatus with a lateral stability rail system. At least one rail extends within the lid portion and at least one track extends through the base portion. The rail terminates in a tooth and the track terminates in a pocket. When the container is in a hingedly closed position, the at least one rail nests within the at least one track and the at least one tooth nests within the at least one pocket.

The present invention relates to a bottom chime for a beverage keg. The bottom chime is configured to be push fitted onto the keg, and to subsequently be removable from the keg, for example to enable recycling of the bottom chime separately to the keg. The bottom chime comprises a plurality of inwardly extending engagement elements that are configured to form a snap fit engagement with a corresponding plurality of recesses provided in the body of the keg.
