Drink containers include a liquid container and a cap assembly removably coupled to the liquid container. Cap assemblies include a switch, a trigger and seal bar. Upon actuating the trigger the seal bar slides back to form a drink outlet opening in the cap assembly. To hold the seal bar in an open state without additional external force from the user, the switch is slid from an unlocked position to a locked positon, thereby keeping the drink outlet and a vent formed in the cap assembly open in order to cool down a warm beverage in the liquid container.

A zipper includes two rows of zipper teeth, in which at least one of the zipper teeth includes a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) foam material having a Poisson's ratio of between 0 and −1, and a slider movably attached to one of the rows of the zipper teeth and configured to connect the two rows of zipper teeth when the slider is moved in a first direction and to disconnect the two rows of zipper teeth when the slider is moved in an opposite direction.

Described is one or more embodiments of closures that include a pressure-relieving feature in a third plug. In one embodiment, the pressure-relieving feature is a gap within the third plug. In another embodiment, the pressure-relieving feature includes one or more recesses within inner surface of the third plug, thereby providing fluid communication between an outer surface of the second plug and the ambient air outside the closure.

There is provided a cap assembly for a container according to one aspect. The assembly includes a cap shaped to selectively couple to a container. The cap has an aperture extending through a top thereof. The assembly includes a resilient member coupled to and spanning the aperture of the cap. The resilient member is configured to both seal the container and reversibly expand. The resilient member has a pre-loaded state in which the resilient member is outwardly concave. The resilient member is moveable from the pre-loaded state to an expanded state in which the resilient member is planar or outwardly convex.

A preservation device for preventing oxidation of a contained liquid. The device includes a body having a reservoir portion and a neck portion with an end defining an opening. An extension portion extends from the neck around the opening and defines an overflow volume. A closure element is removably received by the opening forming an airtight seal therebetween.

A bottle cap mechanism comprising a bottle cap body and a label ring that is locked inside the bottle cap body, wherein the bottle cap body includes an outer wall layer and an inner wall layer inside the outer wall layer, wherein the label ring card fits into the inner space formed by the outer wall layer and the inner wall layer; at least one label hole for exposing label information is provided on the outer wall layer.

Drink containers include a liquid container and a cap assembly removably coupled to the liquid container. Cap assemblies include a switch, a trigger and seal bar. Upon actuating the trigger the seal bar slides back to form a drink outlet opening in the cap assembly. To hold the seal bar in an open state without additional external force from the user, the switch is slid from an unlocked position to a locked positon, thereby keeping the drink outlet and a vent formed in the cap assembly open in order to cool down a warm beverage in the liquid container.

The present invention relates in particular to a closure (3) for the fluid-tight closing of a vessel (2) filled with a substance (5), wherein the closure (3) is provided with a fluid-tight pressure-transmission element (9) and wherein the closure (3) is provided with a base body (8) to which the pressure-transmission element (9) can be attached in a fluid-tight manner, wherein the pressure-transmission element (9) is deflectable by pressurisation without incurring damage, for biological inactivation of microorganisms present in the substance (5), wherein the closure is configured in such a way that the pressure-transmission element (9), when the vessel (2) is closed with the closure (3), is held (clamped between the vessel (2) and the base body). The invention also relates to a corresponding container (1) and a corresponding method.

The disclosure describes a zipper including two rows of zipper teeth, in which at least some of the zipper teeth include a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) foam material having a Poisson's ratio of between 0 and −1, and a slider movably attached to one of the rows of the zipper teeth and configured to connect the two rows of zipper teeth when the slider is moved in a first direction and to disconnect the two rows of zipper teeth when the slider is moved in an opposite direction.

A filter baffle assembly, including a filter cap engageable to a mouth of a container, the filter cap including a filter vent operatively attached to a liner situated within an inner space of the filter cap, and a gas permeable baffle disposed between a mouth of the container and the filter vent, covering the filter vent, the baffle including a single perforation to permit gas exchange between an interior of the container and the filter vent, and to protect the filter vent from contact with contents housed in the interior of the container. A gas permeable point baffle for protecting a filter vent from contact with the contents of a container, including a single perforation, the point baffle being welded to a liner and covering a filter vent operatively attached to the liner, housed within a cap engageable to the mouth of the container. A method for protecting a filter vent from the contents of a container.
