A portable drinking device capable of fitting over a typical pressurized beverage can to direct the flow of fluid from the can into a user's mouth. The portable drinking device may be positioned over the open top of a can. The portable drinking device and can are then slightly tilted sideways. A piercing device, which is stored in a storage area formed in a funnel-like cap of the portable drinking device, is used to puncture a whole in the side of the can after the drinking device and can are tilted sideways. Either just before or immediately after the can is pierced, the entire assembly is positioned so that the portable drinking device directs a rapid stream of fluid from the punctured can through the tube of the portable drinking device into a user's mouth.

A liquid dispenser (10) for a container of liquid, comprises a spout (12) and a liquid uptake structure (18) aligned to provide liquid to the spout from a container. The liquid uptake structure has first openings (20) radially distributed at the spout end, second openings radially distributed around the container end and a third opening centrally located at the container end. The liquid uptake structure provides an airflow path through the second openings and a principle liquid flow path separate from the airflow path through the third opening, thus separating the two flow paths and providing a smooth pour.

A beverage container is disclosed including a cylindrical body defining a volume configured to hold a liquid beverage and a neck having at least one slanted sidewall extending inwardly from and about a circumference of a first end of the cylindrical body. The beverage container also includes a lid sealed with one end of the neck. The lid has a top planar portion with one or more score lines that define a primary opening when ruptured to provide a flow of the liquid beverage to a consumer when the beverage container is tilted from vertical. The beverage container also includes a lip relief extending inward and only partially circumventing an area of the neck. The lip relief is aligned with the primary opening and is dimensioned to accept a lower lip of the consumer while drinking the liquid beverage when the beverage container is tilted from vertical.

The invention relates to a can which, after it is filled, is closed by fitting a cover, and also to an apparatus which is intended to be inserted into an initially open can, and to a method for providing a can. The can according to the invention is characterized in that an apparatus is located in the can, the said apparatus being arranged and designed in such a way that it is moved from a first state to a second state when a cover is fitted onto the initially open can.

A modular interchangeable vessel system is disclosed, which comprises a flexible and flat-foldable waterproof vessel having a sealed end and an unsealed end disposed distal from the sealed end, the unsealed end having a kayak shaped endpiece sealingly coupled thereto.

A semi-flexible device configured to act as a spout or funnel for medium to large size containers. When flat, the device is trapezoidal in shape, with the top narrower than the bottom, and the sides angled to connect the top to the bottom. When used as a spout, the device is semi-circular in profile, configured to follow the shape of a container rim. When used as a funnel, the device is circular in profile, configured to fit into a hole such as the opening of a jar. The device includes at least one edge that includes two lips or rims close together but separable, the gap between which is configured to receive the rim of a container. At least one of frictional force of the lips on the container rim and pressing force of the device pushing against the more rigid container holds the device onto the container rim.

A disposable dual beverage receptacle comprising of at least two fluid retentive chambers. A top chamber and a bottom chamber, the top chamber is connected with the bottom chamber using its base connector. The base connector has mechanisms for mounting on and dismounting from the top chamber. The bottom chamber is a beverage can.

The invention relates to a container can that is sealed after being filled, to a holding device for introduction into a container can, and to a method for manufacturing a container can. A container can according to the invention that has a bottom, a peripheral wall that adjoins the bottom, and a narrowed end on one end facing away from the bottom is characterized in that a two-part holding device is located in the container can that has a second part and a first part detachably connected thereto, of which the first part has a connecting section for connecting the second part to the first part as well as a plurality of support arms, at least two upper support arms of which are designed to be supported in the region of the narrowed end on the peripheral wall of the container can and at least two lower support arms of which are designed to be supported on the peripheral wall of the container can in a place that is nearer to the bottom of the container can than the connecting section is.

The removable integrated food strainer is a novel invention designed to simplify the process of draining liquids and rinsing residual materials from canned goods. It consists of a specially designed built-in strainer that is integrated into the pre-manufactured can or container of various canned goods upon purchase. This unique design provides both convenience to the user and cost efficiency as additional household kitchen utensils are not required to drain said canned goods.

A beverage container for a nitrogenated beverage comprises at least two restricted outlet apertures (11, 12) configured to, when pouring therefrom into a secondary vessel, form jets of beverage that impinge downstream. Impingement initiates nucleation of dissolved nitrogen gas in the beverage and, as such, when poured into the vessel a creamy head of fine nitrogen/mixed gas bubbles can be formed. The restricted outlet apertures can be formed in a plate (10) over an openable mouth of the beverage container, or directly upon the container. Preferably a vent (14) or some other feature is included to increase the velocity of the jets.
