The current invention relates to a lid for a cup which protects the contents of the cup and the drinking hole from contaminants. In some embodiments the lid for a cup includes a base and a cover connected to the base which rotates around the base. In this way the cover protects the drinking hole when closed, but can rotate open to allow the user to access the drinking hole and the contents of the cup. In some embodiments the cover is further equipped with a stopper which fits into the drinking hole and helps secure the cover in a closed position. In other embodiments the base is further equipped with a ramp leading up to the drinking hole which guides the cover to the drinking hole and locks the stopper within the hole. In other embodiments a protective layer is provided over the base which is removed before use.

The present invention relates to a lid assembly (100) for outfitting a container (102), capable of immediate cooling of liquids discharged from the container (102). The lid assembly (100) comprises a lid (202), a fluid control flow chamber (204) having a discharge opening (206) on an upper surface of the lid (202), and an air tunnel (208) passing through a connection slot (212) to the fluid control flow chamber (204). The air tunnel (208) has a first end (208-1) disposed in the fluid control flow chamber (204) and a second end (208-2) passing through the lid (202) such that the second end (208-2) is disposed outside the lid (202). The second end (208-2) of the air tunnel (208) directs external air to the first end (208-1) of the air tunnel (208). The fluid control flow chamber (204) mixes the external air directed to the first end (208-1) of the air tunnel (208) with a liquid discharged from the container (102) when suction pressure is generated in the discharge opening (206) of the fluid control flow chamber (204).

Portable beverage coolers and methods of using the same. An exemplary cooler described herein comprises an outer shell having a general shape as a container, suitable to receive contents therein, a handle pivotally coupled to the outer shell a removable insert configured to fit within the outer shell, said insert configured to receive a liquid or other items therein, and a hinged lid coupled to the outer shell. Said coolers are configured to retain a beverage therein, maintaining a desired cold temperature, and to dispense beverage directly therefrom via a tap.

A drink container and plug lid for use therewith. The lid has an upper member and a lower member with a ring seal positioned therebetween and radially outwardly stretchable from an initial diameter to a larger sealing diameter in response to an actuator moving the upper and lower members together to place the ring seal in fluid-tight sealing engagement with the container body. Moving the upper and lower members apart allows the radially outward stretched ring seal to move from the sealing diameter to the initial diameter whereat it is out of fluid-tight sealing engagement with the container body.

A collapsible crate or container movable between an erect configuration and a collapsed configuration, has a crate member having an upper peripheral rim, a bottom member, two hinged and collapsible opposing side walls and two hinged end walls that collectively define an interior volume when the crate member is in the erect configuration, and a lid member with first and second lid portions and a hinge that releasably couples the first and second lid portions. The crate member and the lid member also includes latch member to releasably latch the lid member to the crate member in a use/deployed position and a stowed position.

Embodiments described herein relate to a jar and lid combination with a jar body and a threadably-attachable jar lid, where the jar lid has a translucent window. Certain embodiments provide a structure for the windowed jar lid and jar body, so that the jar can contain fine powder without leakage, and without the need for a separate sealing layer adhered to the rim of the jar prior to securing the lid to the jar. Other embodiments relate to structures and methods for use by which a logo can be printed on the jar lid window, and then mechanically secured to the jar body, such that the logo is correctly aligned with the printed information on the front of the jar.

A heat insulating container includes a bottom box and a surrounding wall surrounding the bottom box. A top portion of the bottom box is open and connected with the surrounding wall. An inner space of the surrounding wall is connected with an inner space of the bottom box, an opening is defined by a top edge of the surrounding wall, a handle portion is downward extended from an external surface of a junction between the bottom box and the surrounding wall, the handle portion and the bottom box are arranged at interval and a rubber strip is arranged wrapping the handle portion. Thereby the user is avoided from directly contacting with the bottom box. Therefore, the heat insulating container could be immediately taken out of a microwave oven after heater by the microwave oven.

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.

An insulating container may include an opening, which can be sealed by a closure. The closure may have 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 container includes an external receptacle including glass and has a bottom and a side wall to define an inner cavity. An internal receptacle includes glass, is housed within the inner cavity of the external receptacle, and has a bottom and a side wall. An intermediate element, including plastic or elastomeric material, is interposed between the internal receptacle and the external receptacle. The side wall of the internal receptacle includes a ring having a free upper face and a lower contact surface. The intermediate element is interposed between the lower contact surface of the ring and a support surface on a collar at the upper end of the side wall of the external receptacle. The collar has a step-like seat open upwards and toward the inner cavity of the external receptacle and extending between an upper free face of an upper edge of the collar and the support surface.
