A container assembly including a container member having a first cavity for holding a substance therein and a second cavity formed adjacent its bottom edge portion and extending upwardly therefrom, the second cavity having a top wall portion, a lid member engageable with the container member for closing access to the first cavity, the lid member having a raised wall portion configured to be receivable within the second cavity of the container member so as to form a pedestal for the container member, and at least one bumper member associated with the top wall portion of the second cavity for abutting the raised wall portion of the lid member when the lid member is inserted into the second cavity, the at least one bumper member increasing the coefficient of friction between the lid member and the container member when the lid member is received within the second cavity.

A pulp-molded paper lid for a beverage cup and a method for fabricating the same is introduced. While said pulp-molded paper lid bears an external pressure to accommodate the convex-ridge ring of the cup body therein, by preloading of an insertion force of said convex-ridge ring, a generating-elasticity device of said pulp-molded paper lid is pre-compressed to compressively deform, along inward directions respectively opposite to radial directions of said pulp-molded paper lid. By removal of said external pressure, a movable bearing wall and an outermost sidewall of said generating-elasticity device exert two reversed elastically-rebound forces by a stretched deformation occurring therebetween, for clamp-retaining two opposed sides of said convex-ridge ring. Said generating-elasticity device is released from the pre-compression to exert preloaded elastic forces along said radial directions, for strengthening the clamp-retention and avoiding the technical problems of the prior arts.

An apparatus and methods of sealing a metallic container with a metallic end closure are disclosed. The apparatus includes a tool operable to releasably join the closure to the container. In one embodiment, the tool is configured to form a thread in the closure and the container. The tool may optionally crimp the closure to the container. Once sealed, the container can be opened by rotating the closure in an opening direction. The closure can subsequently re-close the container by rotating the closure in a closing direction.

A container lid is configured such that repeated movement of a grip piece and a connecting piece of the lid will not break the connecting piece so that the lid can be removed easily. An extension section extends upwardly from an upper end of the connecting section along an inner peripheral surface of a skirt wall of the lid. When the container lid is on the mouth-neck section of a container, an upper end part of the extension section is sandwiched between an inner peripheral surface of the lid skirt wall and an outer peripheral surface of a locking projection on the container mouth-neck section.

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 for storage is provided which includes, as principle components, a base member (1) and a lid (100) therefor, with the lid (100) in use overlaying said base member (1) in a sealing relationship, with both the base member (1) and lid (100) having associated therewith a strip or base (5.104) of a color different to the remainder of the base member (1) and lid (100) respectively, the strip or band (5) of the base member (1) being of the same color as the strip of band (104) of the lid (100), thereby to allow for ready matching of the lid (100) with container base (1).

A device for holding a container having a bead around an opening is provided. The device includes a handle and at least two curved elements extending from the handle, with each curved element including an upper section sized to be positionable adjacent to the container bead. A clamping apparatus is located on a portion of the handle, with the clamping apparatus having a moveable clamping element structured to contact the container bead.

The open ended container with resealable lid combination has a seal ring which cooperates with a seal engagement surface to provide a resealable construction to provide at least one of an airtight and watertight configuration after the lid has initially been removed from the container and re-applied. The seal engagement surface preferably provides at least two ramps and the seal ring deforms along at least one, if not both of the ramps.
