A container for loosely stored products including a container body, a cover for closing an opening end of the container body, the cover being movable between a closed position closing the opening end of the container body and an open position, and an opening part provided on the container body wherein the opening part includes a pushing element with a contact portion, and a lifting portion positioned, in the closed position of a cover, beneath an abutment of the cover, the contact portion of the pushing element being arranged to be pushed away from the opening end of the container body such that the lifting portion displaces the abutment of the cover.

In one example, a lid configured for use with a container includes an upper surface that is generally circular in shape, and further includes a side wall with an annular configuration, the side wall intersecting the upper surface to define an edge of the lid. A grip element is defined in the upper surface and sized and configured to be grasped by one or more fingers of a user, and the grip element includes a grip portion that is set back a distance from the edge of the lid. Finally, a tab is provided that is attached to the side wall of the lid by an elastically deformable standoff element.

A vacuum-drawing lid can include a base frame with a first one-way valve, a piston with a second one-way valve, and a cylindrical cam with a sinusoidal groove formed on an inner surface thereof to drive reciprocation of the piston as the cylindrical cam turns. Turning the cylindrical cam in a first direction can drive the piston to translate in a first direction and actuate the first valve. Turning the cylindrical cam in a second direction can drive the piston to translate in a second direction and actuate the second valve.

An article accommodating container comprises a body portion which includes a first main component and a second main component, which can be connected to each other, wherein the first main component comprises a main body and a projecting portion, which projects from the main body and forms a connecting portion to be connected to the second main component, and a length of the projecting portion in a connecting direction of the first main component and the second main component is or more of a length of a maximum diameter of the body portion in a connected state.

A container includes a lid having a peripheral flange which defines a lifting tab. The container includes a base having an upper peripheral rim. A bend line is formed in a surface of the base to define a bendable portion of the base. The bendable portion of the base receives and limits access to the lifting tab when the container is closed. A container includes a lid having a peripheral flange which defines a lifting tab. The lifting tab has a top surface and a bottom surface. The lid includes a protrusion extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the lifting tab. The container includes a base. The base has an aperture formed in a portion of the base to receive the protrusion of the lid when the container is closed.

A container includes a casing defining an opening and formed with a first abutting edge surrounding the opening. A cover is selectively mounted onto the casing for closing the opening, wherein the cover has a second abutting edge laterally extending therefrom and abutting against the first abutting edge when the cover closes the opening. A puller extends from the second abutting edge of the cover. A snapping device is formed between the casing and the puller. The snapping device includes a plug formed on the puller and a socket defined in the casing for receiving the plug. Two weakened portions are formed on the puller such that the puller is irreversibly curved after being lifted due to the weakened portion and the curved puller is used as a basis for easily identifying whether the container is illegally operated or not.

A tamper-evident container includes a base and a lid. A base extension and a lid extension are connected to a hinge to join the base and the lid together in a closed, pre-use configuration. A tab extends from either the lid extension or the base extension in a direction away from the lid and the base such that the tab extends beyond the hinge. The tab is joined to one of the extensions via weakened regions that can be torn when the tab is pulled to indicate that the container has been tampered with or opened.

A container includes a casing having an opening and a first abutting edge surrounding the opening. A cover is selectively mounted onto the casing for closing the opening, wherein the cover has a second abutting edge laterally extending therefrom and abutting against the first abutting edge when the cover closes the opening. A puller extends from the second abutting edge of the cover. A snapping device is formed between the casing and the puller. The snapping device includes a plug formed on the puller and a socket defined in the casing for temporarily receiving the plug and holding the plug in place. A weakened portion is formed on at least one place of the puller such that the puller is irreversibly curved after being lifted due to the weakened portion and the curved puller is used as a basis for easily identifying whether the container is illegally operated or not.

A hands-free, skin ointment applicator or comestible holder wearable on the wrist area of a user has a wristband; an open-topped container with an ointment or comestible mound upstanding from the open top; a recessed cover integrally joined to the container for hands-free movement between closed and open positions protectively receiving the mound in the recess and exposing the upstanding mound for application to the user's face or mouth; respectively; magnets or Velcro for retaining the cover closed; and, a cover release tab for gripping by the user's mouth to pull the cover open. A web hinge joining the cover and container, guiding the cover to the closed position. A refill cartridge carrying the mound is mounted, releasably, in the container.

A tamper-evident container and method is disclosed. The tamper-evident container includes a base portion and a lid (or cover). In an untampered with state, one edge of the lid is removably connected to one edge of the base portion. Namely, the lid includes a tamper-evident tab, wherein the tamper-evident tab includes a grasping overhanging portion that is flanked by at least one breakable joint and wherein the lid is removably connected to the base portion via the breakable joint of the tamper-evident tab. Further, the tamper-evident container comprises an interlocking interface between the base portion and the lid. A method of using the tamper-evident container is provided.
