A lid for a drinking vessel is described. In one embodiment, the lid is an insulated lid configured to engage an opening of a container, where the lid is configured to at least partially retain the liquid within the container. The lid may further include a first opening for exposing the contents of the container to the atmosphere and for drinking from the container if desired. Additionally, the first opening may include an insert designed to reduce the heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the container, while in other embodiments aiding in the equalization of pressure between the interior and exterior of the container. Other aspects and embodiments of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, drawings, and claims.

The present invention provides a leak-proof portable food and beverage storage container (1000) comprising a box body (200) defining a storage cavity, a lid (400), a ring (600), and a locking mechanism (800). The lid (400) has a groove (410) arranged along edges (420) of the lid (400) and the ring (600) is disposed within the groove (410). The locking mechanism (800) is operationally coupled to the box body (200) and includes a plurality of flaps (810) and a band (820). The plurality of flaps (810) are hingedly connected to the edges (420) and the band (820) is arranged around a rim of the box body (200). Further, the plurality of flaps (810) snap-fits with the band (820) such that the lid (400) is securely fixed to the box body (200) and the ring (600) creates an air-tight seal between the lid (400) and the box body (200).

A closure for a lid that has at least one opening may include an activator pivotally coupled to the lid, a cover pivotally coupled to the lid, and a connecting member pivotally coupled to the activator and the cover. The activator, the cover and the connecting member may form an over center latching mechanism. In addition, the activator may be pivotally connected to the lid about a first axis of rotation, the cover may be pivotally connected to the lid about a second axis of rotation, the connecting member may pivotally connected to the activator about a third axis of rotation, and the connecting member may be pivotally connected to the cover about a fourth axis of rotation. The distance between the first and second axes of rotation may be constant, and the distance between the third and fourth axes of rotation may change as the cover is moved.

A tank and closure cap apparatus is disclosed. The tank has an upper end or top with a manhole like larger diameter opening that can be closed with a lid having a smaller diameter opening equipped with an outlet fitting. A specially configured shroud protectively covers the lid clamp and is secured with a closure cap that seals the outlet fitting.

An injection molded lid (100) for use with a container, which includes a lid body (110) and a securing member (150). The lid body (110) includes a cover portion (120) and a flange portion (130). One side wall (134) of the flange portion has one or more notches (138). The securing member (150) includes a frame (152) and at least one tab (154). The tab (154) covers the notch. The securing member (150) provides extra fastening strength that prevents the spillage or leakage of the content within the container.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a closure, the closure having an upper portion with a handle that has a circular curvature equal to the cylindrical portion of the closure. The closure may also have a lower portion that is joined to the upper portion by an injection molded polymer element. The closure may also be in the form of flip type of closure such that the lid can be selectably opened or closed by the user by rotating a flip closure into either the opened or closed position. The closure may also be a two-part lid having a lower cap that may be configured to be removably-coupled to the container and an upper cap that may be configured to be removably-coupled to the lower cap.

A lid for use with a beverage container. The lid has a body with a drink opening, a drink opening stopper operable to transition between a closed position and an opened position, and a lock actuator manually rotatable between a locking position preventing the drink opening stopper from transitioning from the closed position to the opened position when the lock actuator is in the locking position and an unlocking position permitting the drink opening stopper to transition from the closed position to the opened position when the lock actuator is in the unlocking position.

This disclosure provides a sealing cover, belonging to the technical field of sealing containers. The sealing cover comprises: a cover body provided with a through hole; a knob, rotatably arranged on one side of the cover body and provided with protrusion parts; a bottom plate, movably arranged on the other side of the cover body and able to move close to or away from the cover body, the bottom plate being provided with a linkage part, the linkage part passing through the through hole, spiral grooves being formed in a peripheral surface of the linkage part, the protrusion parts being connected to the spiral grooves and able to move along the spiral grooves; and a seal ring arranged between the bottom plate and the cover body. Further provided is a sealing container, comprising a sealing cover and a container body, wherein a cover body of the sealing cover is fitted to cover the container body. This disclosure has the beneficial effects as follows: the knob is rotated to drive the bottom plate to move close to or away from the cover body. When the bottom plate is close to the cover body, the seal ring can be squeezed and deformed to open outward, so that the seal ring pushes against and is connected to the inner wall of the container to achieve the sealing effect, and the operation is simple and convenient.
