BOTTLE AND METHOD OF USING
A bottle having a reclosable and resealable lid is disclosed. The bottle can have a removable pedestal base. The base can elevate the remainder of the bottle off of the surface upon which the bottle is resting. The lid can have a seal for a drinking mouthpiece outlet and a pressure equalization port. The lid can have a concave indentation or seat aligned with a hinge connecting a top of the lid to a base or rim of the lid. When opened, the seat can rest against the lid rim, opening the lid to more than a 180 lid opening angle.
Vacuum sealable container with internal pump mechanism
A pump mechanism for vacuum sealing an airtight cavity formed by a container and a lid, including a bore having a first one-way seal allowing air from the airtight cavity to enter the bore and blocking air inside the bore from returning to the airtight cavity and a second one-way seal allowing air inside the bore to leave the bore without returning to the airtight cavity and blocking air outside of the bore from entering the bore, a piston disposed inside the bore, and a chamber of air enclosed by the bore, the first and second one-way seals, and the piston, wherein actuation of the piston in a first direction causes air to evacuate the airtight cavity and enter the chamber through the first one-way seal, and wherein actuation of the piston in a second direction causes air to exit the chamber through the second one-way seal.
Protective bottle enclosure
A protective bottle enclosure for enclosing and sealing a bottle with an open mouth carried within the enclosure. The enclosure includes a container having an upper portion and a base removably coupled to the upper portion, and an external cap applicable to the container in a seated position of the cap. In the seated position of the cap, the cap seals the open mouth of the bottle carried in the enclosure and forms an impermeable inner seal between the cap and the bottle. A stopper carried by the cap forms the impermeable inner seal between the cap and the bottle, and in the seated position of the cap, the cap is fully seated against the upper portion of the container and forms an impermeable outer seal between the cap and the container.
Protective bottle enclosure
A protective bottle enclosure includes a base section with a cylindrical base sidewall secured to a perimeter of a base bottom wall and an open top. The base bottom wall is disposed below the open top. A cylindrical body includes a neck section, a shoulder section, and a waist section. The neck section includes a neck sidewall and an annular lip disposed around a neck opening. The shoulder section includes a tapered shoulder sidewall. The waist section includes a waist sidewall. The body further includes a bottom opening and a first internal volume positioned within the body between the neck opening and the bottom opening. A cylindrical elastomeric insert is secured to the waist section inside the first internal volume of the body. The enclosure can surround the bottle and seal the open mouth when the base section engages the body and a cap engages the neck section.
POUR SPOUT
A pour spout is disclosed having a top wall including a rim adapted to seat in a container, a side wall to assist in securing the pour spout in the container, a cover extending from about the top of the top wall at an angle to about the bottom of the side wall, and a spout in the cover adapted to dispense a material.
Light bulb storage container and display
An apparatus that may be used for the display and storage of decorative lights is disclosed. The apparatus may include a housing that includes a hollow body portion defining an interior and a substantially cylindrical neck portion that defines an axis that extends into the body portion, the neck portion further defining an opening for accessing the interior. The apparatus may further include a lid assembly configured to be removably coupled with the housing. The lid assembly may include a fixed portion configured to be removably coupled with the housing, and a movable portion movably coupled with the fixed portion. The movable portion may move from an open configuration to a closed configuration to alter the size of an opening provided through the lid assembly.
BEVERAGE CONTAINER CLOSURE WITH VENTING
A beverage container closure or lid adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be opened by pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the button is released. Thus, the user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container. The beverage container closure includes an actuating lever configured to press the button when a user applies a force to the lever. By utilizing the mechanical advantage provided by the lever, a user is able to selectively open and close the stopper using a relatively low amount of force.
Package
A container with a selectively openable cover to selectively allow access to one or more compartments is disclosed.
