Reusable magnetic bottle closures, methods, and systems
Drinking bottle closures include a sealing portion, an upper side that may bear indicia, and a retained magnet. The magnet may be retained in a cavity of the closure separated from the sealing portion by a seamless barrier. The sealing portion may include a frictionally retained male tapered plug or a radially compressible, gripping female cap liner to fit one or multiple bottle opening sizes. In a method of use, the cap may be retained on a magnetically attracted surface until used to close and identify a drinking bottle. The magnetically attracted surface may be a plate connected to a mount for connecting the magnetic surface to a non-magnetic surface.
Reusable Magnetic Bottle Closures, Methods, and Systems
Reusable drinking bottle closures, and methods and systems for storing and using the same, are provided. The drinking bottle closures include a sealing portion, an upper side that may bear indicia, and a magnet retained in fixed relation to the sealing portion and the upper side. The magnet may be retained in a cavity of the closure separated from the sealing portion by a seamless barrier, such as a unitary body comprised at least partially in the sealing portion. The sealing portion may fit one or multiple bottle opening sizes. Multiple opening sizes may be accommodated by a frictionally retained tapered plug feature for sealing insertion into a bottle opening, or an end sealing feature operating in conjunction with a separate retention feature, such as a radially compressible cap liner configured to grip bottle threads in an interference fit. The end sealing feature may be a downward-facing compressible ring or disc on a lower side of the closure. In a method of use, the cap may be retained on a magnetically attracted surface until used to close and identify a drinking bottle. The magnetically attracted surface may be part of an existing wall, fixture, or movable article, or it may be a component of a closure storage system according to the invention, such as a plate connected to a mount for connecting the magnetic surface to a non-magnetic surface, such as a pushpin, suction cup, hook-and-loop fastener patch, snap, button, fabric with a button-hole, adhesive, or hole in the surface itself.

Short rotation safety lock for containers and bottle for said lock
A short rotation safety lock for containers has a fixed internal structure (1) linked to locking cap (3) and includes a clamping frame (12) that acts over an annular cordon or protrusion (61,62) of the container (6) of application. This internal structure (1) gives rotating assembly (4) to an external structure (2) which rotation movement, limited by a rotation limiter device (5), determines the movement of some mobile blocking members (24) between an active position behind said grip fingers (13) and a passive position in said intermediate spaces (14). In some variations a safety system of the kind of a seal that links the upper wall (23) of the external structure (2) with the internal structure (1) is incorporated. The detachable sector (70) acts as a safety seal and, even after the detachment, the link member (76) maintains it as cover of the upper part of the lock. The bottle (200) has an annular entrance (204) compatible with the grip position of the safety lock.

CONTAINER CLOSURE WITH RIBS FORMED IN SEALING COMPOUND
A closure for a container. The closure comprises an end panel, a sidewall depending from the end panel and having an inwardly directed curl, and a sealing compound extending down the inner surface of the sidewall. A plurality of ribs are formed in the sealing compound, spaced apart around the circumference of the sidewall, each rib extending down the sidewall and projecting radially inwardly.

Bottle Assembly and Valve Assembly
A bottle assembly is provided. The bottle assembly comprises a bottle having an end portion including a first detent formation, and a collar having a second complementary detent formation. The collar is arranged to snap fit to the end portion by engagement of the detent formations by application of force only in a direction towards the bottle. In addition, a valve assembly for use with a drinking vessel is provided. The valve assembly comprises a base member and a sealing member. The sealing member is moveable, dependent on a pressure difference across it, between a sealed position, wherein the sealing member is sealed against the base member, and an unsealed position, wherein the sealing member is unsealed from the base member. One or more channels are formed between the base member and the sealing member and extend to a periphery of the sealing member. The one or more channels are arranged to allow air to enter the drinking vessel from the periphery of the sealing member when the sealing member is in the unsealed position.
