A beverage can end includes a filling port in the end itself. An activating gas that interacts with the beverage may be charged through the filling port. If the end has a vent opening, such as sometimes used in a recloseable end, the vent opening may be used for charging the activating gas.

A container has an opening and an automatic closure. A closure flap is secured to a pivot arm, the other end of which has a weighted portion. The closure flap and pivot arm are located within the container. When the container is in a normal upright position, the weighted portion biases the closure flap into a closed position. When the container is rotated in a first direction, the weighted portion causes the pivot arm and closure flap to rotate in a second, opposite direction so that the opening is exposed.

A can end (2) is described for a metal beverage can, the can end comprising a cap top (3), arranged in connection to a pull tab (4) configured to remove the cap top from the can end to thereby create a drinking or pouring aperture; a shut-off valve (6), configured to close the drinking or pouring aperture after drinking or pouring; an elastic resilient element (10) for operating the shut-off valve (6); fixing means (50) for attaching the pull tab to the can end; holding means (21) for holding the shut-off valve (6) in an opened position for the drinking or pouring; wherein the cap top (3) is configured to remain located, after the removal, on top of the shut-off valve (6); and wherein the holding means (21) is configured to release the shut-off valve (6), when in the opened position, by exertion of a force by a user of the can, in a direction of the interior of the can, on the fixing means (50), so as to close the drinking or pouring aperture.

Further, a can including such a can end and a method for opening such a can are described, as well as a method for producing such a can.

A tamper evident food container is provided. The container comprises a base hingedly connected to a lid. The lid includes an outer raised portion having an integrally connected inner recessed portion formed therein, wherein the inner recessed portion includes a peelable flap portion partially detachable from the inner recessed portion for lifting the peelable flap upwardly from the inner recessed portion; an upper flange extending perpendicularly outward from a perimeter of the lid and having a connecting member located between extending latching portions extending outwardly from the upper flange and adapted for being received in the two latch receiving openings; and a tab connected to the peelable flap portion on a first end and detachably connected to the connecting member on a second end, where the tab is configured for pushing inward to detach the second end from the connecting member allowing the peelable flap portion to be lifted upwardly.

A container closure device comprises a closure unit (10) with a closure part (40) for opening and re-closing the container opening (23) multiple times, and an operating device (50) with an operating part (60) for actuating the closure part, wherein the operating part is rotatably disposed on the closure part and can be rotated from a locked position into an unlocked position. According to a first aspect, the operating part further comprises a first and a second locking portion (61, 62), which are configured in such a way that, in the locked position, the two locking portions extend beyond the container opening up to an opening limiting region (24) delimiting the container opening, and that, in the unlocked position, at least one of the two locking portions does not extend beyond the container opening up to the opening limiting region delimiting the container opening. Alternatively, a displacement mechanism is provided with which, by rotating the operating part relative to the closure part, one of the closure part or the operating part can be moved towards or away from the container wall in a direction substantially extending perpendicularly to the container wall, whereby the operating part and/or the closure part can be pressed against the container wall or detached from it. Alternatively, the closure unit comprises a fixing device (80) by means of which, in a fixed position, the closure part can be detachably fixed in the open position and by means of which, in a released position, the closure part can be pivoted between the closed and the open position.

A can end for a metal beverage can, the can end including a cap top, arranged in connection to a pull tab configured to remove the cap top from the can end along a pre-defined groove, to thereby create a drinking or pouring aperture; and a shut-off valve, configured to seal the drinking or pouring aperture after drinking or pouring. The cap top is configured to remain located, after the removal, on top of the shut-off valve; and the pre-defined groove includes a stop for arresting, in a pre-defined location of the pre-defined groove, propagation of a tear along the pre-defined groove during the removal, where the stop includes an abrupt change of direction or an endpoint of the pre-defined groove. The can may be configured for containing a carbonated drink.

An intermediate element for a metal beverage can, for carbonated drinks, where the intermediate element has a shut-off valve and is to be attached to the can end of the can shielding the can end from the interior of the can.

A container assembly includes a jar and a lid assembly. The jar includes a body portion defining an interior space for holding items and an upper neck portion disposed about a jar opening leading to the interior space. The lid assembly is connected to the upper neck portion of the jar and includes an inner lid component and an outer lid component. The outer lid component is rotatable relative to the inner lid component while the inner lid component remains stationary relative to the upper neck portion of the jar.

The object of the invention is a can lid comprising a base (1) having a weakened contour (10) defining a tear portion, wherein the base (1) comprises a flange (7), with a rivet structure (2) being arranged at the centre of the base (1), and with an opening tab (3) being attached to the rivet structure (2). The can lid according to the invention is characterised in that a bottom rotatable lid (4) and a top rotatable lid (5) are secured to the rivet structure (2), where an external curved guide rim of the bottom rotatable lid (4) is fitted slidably in a circumferential bottom groove (8) of the flange (7) of the base (1), and where an external curved guide rim of the top rotatable lid (5) is fitted slidably in a circumferential top groove (9) of the flange (7) of the base (1), with the bottom rotatable lid (4) and the top rotatable lid (5) being adapted to be rotated about the rivet structure independent of each other, and in that the bottom rotatable lid (4) comprises a protrusion (12) disposed in a direction opposite its side facing the base, with the top rotatable lid (5) comprising another protrusion (13) at its side facing the base, where the protrusion (12) of the bottom rotatable lid (4) and the protrusion (13) of the top rotatable lid (5) fitting tightly against each other when the rotatable lids (12, 13) are in an identical position.

A beverage container that includes a main body portion having an open top and a closed bottom, an interior, a circular rim and a first set of threads on an inside surface thereof that are positioned adjacent the rim at a first height. The rim includes a downwardly depending portion that extends below the first set of threads. The container also includes a removable cover with a bottom, a generally cylindrical side wall, an annular flange extending outwardly from the generally cylindrical side wall and an annular collar. The collar, the annular flange and the side wall define a first channel that receives the rim, and the bottom and the generally cylindrical side wall cooperate to define a cover cavity. The side wall includes a second set of threads on an outside surface thereof that are matingly engaged with the first set of threads.
