An automated cup lid assembly includes a lid that is positionable on a beverage cup for closing the beverage cup. The lid has a drinking aperture extending therethrough for drinking. A closure is slidably coupled to the lid and the closure is positionable between an open position and a closed position. The closure covers the drinking aperture when the closure is in the closed position and the drinking aperture is exposed when the closure is in the open position. A motion unit is integrated into the lid and the motion unit is in mechanical communication with the closure. The motion unit urges the closure into the open position when the motion unit senses that the beverage cup is near a user's mouth. Additionally, the motion unit urges the closure into the closed position when the motion unit no longer senses that the beverage cup is near the user's mouth.

A container for delivering ingredients of a meal kit to a consumer. The container comprises a main container and one or more cups removably locatable within the main container. The one or more cups may vary in size and shape. Various combinations of cups of different sizes and shapes can be located in the main container. In spite of the various sizes and shapes of cups that may be located in the main container, a lid may be provided that seals the main container and each of the one or more cups that are located within the main container for different selections and arrangements of the cups. In some embodiments, each of the one or more cups is supported above a base surface of the main container to create a space between the one or more cups and the base surface of the main container.

Caps for Catheter Packages

A package for a medical device such as an intermittent catheter has a case which is closed at one end and open at the other end. A cap is connected to the case by a hinge to permit selectable movement of the cap between an open position, wherein access is provided to the open end of the case, and a closed position, wherein the cap prevents access to the open end of the case. A seal is connected to one of the cap and case. The seal is engageable with the other of the cap and case when the cap is closed to form a barrier that maintains a sterile environment inside the package. The seal can be repeatedly made and broken whenever the user closes or opens the cap, respectively. One of the case and cap has a latch and the other has a receptacle for receiving the latch to releasably retain the cap in a closed position. The latches fit into the receptacle to prevent lateral forces from distorting the cap when the cap is closed. A locking slide may be used to lock the cap to the case.

Disposable gasket-filter assembly with seal integrity indication for sterilization container with slidable lock handles

Sterilization packaging systems with features for sealing a volume against an ingress of contaminants are provided. Such features include a sealing assembly including a gasket and a sheet of filter material. The sealing assembly seals a lid to a seal rim of a base. The gasket has an upper surface, outer edge, and inner edge. The sheet of filter material extends from an inner edge of the gasket, and the gasket completely surrounds the sheet of filter material. The upper surface of the gasket comprises a plurality of indentations that define channels to facilitate delivery of a sterilization agent through the filter material. A sterilization assembly including a lid having a plurality of protrusions in its upper surface and a sliding-lock system for sealing and locking the lid to a container base is also provided.

LOW PROFILE CONTAINER COVER AND ASSEMBLY
20210039842 · 2021-02-11 · ·

A container cover and assembly provide an extremely low profiled edge to the container cover when the container cover is secured or attached to a complementary container. Using such a low profile results in less of an edge being exposed such that its profile works to prevent inadvertent opening of the hinged lid from the container cover and also prevent removal of the container cover from the container. The container cover comprises two halves that are integrally-molded. The two halves are connected by a common pivot point or hinge that is disposed to one side of each half which allows the halves to be folded over and onto one another. The structure of the container cover and integrally-formed hinged lid can be formed using a one-shot plastic injection molding process. This simplifies and speeds up the production process for manufacturing the container cover and hinged lid combination.

UNIVERSAL STORAGE SECURITY IMPLEMENT FOR CANNABIS CONTAINERS
20210070512 · 2021-03-11 · ·

A universal security implement for cannabis containers includes a security mechanism interface, a rim, and an immobilization implement. A user of the universal security implement for cannabis containers can fully secure a container by situating the universal security implement onto or into the container such that the immobilization implement fully precludes movement relative to the container. Moreover, the universal security implement's user may manipulate a security mechanism, such as a child-resistant cap, such that the security mechanism and the security mechanism interface interact to fully close and secure the contents within the container.

TAMPER-EVIDENT PACKAGING STRUCTURE INCORPORATED INTO A CONTAINER COVER AND AN ASSEMBLY

A container cover comprises two halves that are integrally-molded. The two halves are connected by a common pivot point or hinge that is disposed to one side of each half which allows the halves to be folded over and onto one another. One half is a solid cover or lid structure (the lid) and one half is a ring-like base structure (the base), both of which are intended to be disposed atop a container, with the base in direct contact with the container although the lid and base could be modified the include other engaging structure. The lid is configured to fit with and engage the base via the common hinge or pivot point. Opposite the hinge point of each structure is part of a lock structure that provides the tamper-evident functionality when the lid is folded over and attached to the base.

Child resistant and senior friendly can lid

The present invention is directed to a can lid that is child resistant, and at the same time senior friendly, and can be initially installed on a can to be removed by an adult, especially a senior adult, and be put back on the can in the same condition where a child could still not be able to easily remove it. The child resistant and senior friendly can lid provided has a replaceable can lid and a locking member, such that when a can is initially opened, it may be readily resealed. The child resistant and senior friendly can lid has tapered, smooth sides to make the lid difficult to grasp and a sealing ledge on the inside surface to grab the seam roll of the upper edge of the can. The lid sealing ledge is relieved in two areas ninety degrees apart leaving a ridge to maintain a seal when the lid is attached to a can. The can lid will be flexible enough to bend for removal by seniors but resistant to removal by children.
