A reclosable cup lid that can include an upper surface having at least one recess formed therein, that is arcuate in shape. The reclosable cup lid can also include a tab configured to fit within the recess. The tab having an arcuate shape corresponding to the arcuate shape of the recess. The reclosable cup lid can also include an opening disposed within the recess to allow fluid flow therethrough. The tab can be adapted to move within the recess from a first position to a second position so that the opening is at least partially blocked when the tab is located in the first position and the opening is at least partially unobstructed when the tab is located in the second position.

A container includes a body and an upper head and a lower bottom. The container includes a first opening in the upper head, the first opening having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the body. The first opening can include a rim extending from the upper head. The container further includes a second opening in the upper head, the second opening including a vent.

A beverage-packaging container is provided that includes a container body for receiving the liquid and a cork stopper for sealing the liquid contents within the container body. The sidewalls and bottom wall of the container body are formed of paperboard and are preferably formed of a layered, recycled paperboard. The top wall of the container body is formed of a cork material with a cork-receiving hole disposed within the top wall. The cork stopper has a truncated cone-shaped portion that is configured to engage frictionally with the edges of the cork-receiving hole. The cork stopper may also have a wooden crown to aid the user in grasping and removing the cork stopper from the top hole of the container body.

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.

A closure device includes a stopper assembly that provides swing-top closure of a vessel, plus an adaptor so the device can be used with screw-top vessels. The stopper assembly is connected to the adaptor by two connected wires: a bail wire that connects to the stopper assembly, and a lever wire that connects to the adaptor. The inner circumference of the adaptor defines a plurality of vessel threads that engage with the threads defined by the neck of a screw-top vessel. The lever wire is readily removable from the adaptor in order to secure the protruding portions of the lever wire beneath the stop ring of the vessel.

A device for the transport, storage, opening and closing of a cartridge capable of receiving a liquid, the cartridge being closed by a valve, includes a shell, a base, and a cap including a tubular body, a neck, a stopper, a safety system and a locking ring. The cartridge is intended to be mounted in such a device. A method for mounting such a cartridge in such a device is also included.

A parenteral vial, stopper and cap assembly comprises a vial having a body defining an interior, and an opening leading to the interior. The assembly further comprises a stopper configured to sealingly engage the opening, a cap configured to cover the opening and the stopper. The stopper and the cap fit together to form an integral unit configured to cap the vial. The cap moves with respect to the vial between a partially engaged position that permits gas flow out from the vial interior, and a fully engaged position in which the stopper sealingly engages the opening.

A present application relates to a valve assembly for use with a liquid container. The valve assembly includes a spout containing an opening to the liquid container, the spout being configured to form a liquid-tight seal with a housing. A sleeve extends through the housing toward the liquid container through the opening. A valve is secured to the housing and extending into the opening through the sleeve and forming a liquid-tight seal with the sleeve. The valve includes a body portion with a cutaway section and a leg fixed to the valve by a hinge, wherein the leg is configured to flex outwards against the sleeve upon insertion of a tube into the valve causing the cutaway section to open a flow channel to allow liquid to flow through the valve assembly.

A device and system for temporarily sealing an orifice in a beverage container lid comprising a plug (10, 110, 210, 310) having an upper surface (14, 114, 214), a body portion (12, 112), and a lower surface (16, 116, 216), said body portion adapted to be inserted and releasably retained in the orifice to provide a temporary seal thereof, and an external member (20, 120, 220) located on the upper surface of the plug configured to allow a user to grip the plug for ease of removal from the orifice.
