Described herein are embodiments of systems and apparatuses that include a drinking vessel with a lid and locking cover. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a container and a lid, where the lid is configured to engage an opening of a container to retain the liquid within the container. The lid may further include a cover capable of moving between a first and second position, where the contents of the container are accessible in the lid's second position but not the lid's first position. The lid may further include an adjustable lock capable of movement between at least a closed position and an open position. When the adjustable lock is in its closed position, the lid's cover is not able to move between its first and second position. When the adjustable lock is in its open position, the lid's cover is able to move between it first and second position.

A protective bottle enclosure for removably enclosing a bottle having a bottleneck ending in an open mouth. The enclosure includes a base section, a body, and a removable cap. The base section includes a cylindrical base sidewall secured to a perimeter of a base bottom wall and an open top. The body can removably engage the base section to cover the open top thereof. The removable cap includes a cap sidewall and a stopper that can removably engage the open mouth of the bottle. The stopper includes a stopper body and an annular ring extending radially outward from the stopper body. In use, the protective bottle enclosure can surround the bottle and seal the open mouth of the bottle when the base section is engaged with the body and the removable cap is engaged with the neck section.

There is disclosed an apparatus and methods for carbonating water or a water-based liquid from an effervescent composition. The apparatus may include a lid coupled to a container wherein the ratio of a volume capacity of a receptacle for effervescent composition to a volume capacity of the container for water or water-based liquid is greater than 1:986. A delivery device is disclosed to deliver an amount of effervescent composition from the receptacle to the water or water-based liquid when the lid and container are coupled to form a seal, wherein the seal holds pressure when the water or water-based liquid is carbonated. The apparatus further includes a pressure release mechanism coupled to one of the container or lid to release pressure when the container and lid are sealed and when the pressure increases above a seal strength and before the apparatus containing carbonated water or water-based liquid is open, and a headspace between an inside portion of the lid and a height of the water or water-based liquid with a volume capacity for gas to provide sufficient pressure when sealed to force carbon dioxide gas into the water or water-based liquid contents as carbonic acid.

A beverage container closure or lid that is adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is selectively 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 selectively opened by a user by the user pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the user releases the button. Thus, a 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.

An integrated utensil device includes a lid having an interface portion. The lid is configured to connect to an opening of a container. A tool portion is integrated with the interface portion. The tool portion includes a handle, an arm and a utensil portion.

A lip balm receptacle, comprising: a curved, multi-layered upper portion, formed by a single two-step overmolding injection process. The curved, multi-layered upper portion comprising: i) an interior layer having an outer surface that identifies the lip balm flavor contained in the lip balm receptacle; and ii) an exterior layer. The exterior layer may have a) an outer surface with a different texture, material, or visual appearance than the outer surface of the interior layer; and b) a durable cutout design that comprises at least one aperture through said exterior layer exposing the outer surface of the interior layer.

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.

A threaded closure comprises a vent assembly that can be actuated to release pressure from a container on which the closure is located. The vent assembly is made from a flexible material that allows a vent to be uncovered by tearing the material. In one embodiment, the vent assembly allows pressure to be released form a container prior to removal of the closure.

An autonomous anti-pollution liquid container for isotope analysis of earth science area, consisting of an outer protective sleeve (1), a liquid storage main body part (2), a stabilizer storage mechanism (3), a main body base part (4), a control display part (5), a main body inner cover mechanism (6) and a neutralizer storage and releasing mechanism (7). The autonomous anti-pollution liquid container for isotope analyzing of earth science area has multiple functions of heating, refrigerating, heat preservation and the like, can monitor temperature and liquid amount in real time, and can autonomously operate to quickly neutralize and scrap a hazardous chemical agent in an emergency, thereby avoiding leakage of a hazardous article and environmental pollution, and making a logistics process safe and reliable.

A lid device for a beverage cup. The lid is a multi-component annular structure with an outer ring of rigid material that attaches to the cup. Inside the outer ring is an inner flexible material, often with a rigid or flexible central structure with an opening for a drinking straw. In an absence of applied force, this opening (and the straw) will be held substantially perpendicular to the top of the central structure and lid. The inner flexible material is selected to deform easily under mild hand pressure (e.g. 5 Newtons or less), and thus when the user applies force to the straw, the inner flexible material distorts and bends allowing the user to more easily move the straw around and mix the contents of the drink.
