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 container latching system has an open container with a container lid with extended lip sections. Two slide lock latches are located over the lip sections on opposite sides of the lid. With the lid covering the container, the lip sections overlay the top edges of the container, the slide lock latches overlay a portion of the lip sections, and track slider members in each slide lock latch move along the lip sections to lock and seal the lid to the container.

The present invention is directed to containers for holding non-food items having a living hinge and a quad or multi seal structure on the lid such that the seal created by the contact of the lid with the inside of the cup or container ensures a secure, friction fit orientation to prevent spillage or leakage of the contents therein. The quad or multi directional seal is created by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within the base of the container and indentations oriented in the bases, or by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within a channel structure in the top of the base of the container, the channel structure having the indentations in order to create a secure fit.

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.

An assembly comprises a container, a primary container cover, and a secondary flip up cover. The primary container cover comprises a two-shot injection molded component and includes an integrally-formed seal. The integrally-formed seal is designed to reduce or eliminate evaporation occurring between the container and the primary cover. The integrally-formed seal is further designed to reduce or eliminate evaporation occurring between the primary cover and the secondary flip up cover.

A freshness plug includes a solid round body having an internally depressed section, a protrusion extending from the internally depressed section, a shoulder extending from an exterior of the internally depressed section, and malleable flanges below the shoulder.

A container lid has a top panel defining a top side and an underside opposite the top side; a channel extending annularly around a periphery of the top panel, the channel open toward an underside direction on the lid; and a first wiper seal and a second wiper seal protruding downward from within the channel The first and second wiper seals are spaced apart from one another in a radial direction. When the lid is attached to a container to close off a top opening, the first and second wiper seals contact a surface of a container rim such that the first wiper seal bends radially inward relative to the container rim and the second wiper seal bends radially outward relative to the container rim.

A cover includes a bistable flap mechanism made of a plastic with at least two material components. The cover can be produced in one piece in a multi-component injection molding technique. At a transitional area between a front wall and an edge portion, the plastic is sufficiently stiff (preferably due to greater material thickness) to ensure that an angle enclosed in the transitional area from the side wall to the edge portion remains constant in both bistable states. Expansion portions provided in the edge portion ensure that the outer circumference of the edge portion can increase/decrease from one bistable state to the other bistable state. A closing system including the cover is also provided.

A lockable tray device is provided including a housing with compartments to receive and securely store smoking articles. The housing defines a jam passage, and a lid is operably connected to the housing with a jam configured for insertion into the jam passage. A locking mechanism is fitted within the housing and includes a latch disposed within the jam passage. The latch is movable between a first locked position and a second unlocked position. A fixed magnet attracts the latch into the first position. The jam is secured to the locking mechanism by inserting the jam into the jam passage toward the locked position by advancing the jam through the jam passage such that the jam contacts and moves the latch to the second position to clear the jam passage. A key is magnetically attracted to the latch and moves the latch into the second position clearing the jam passage and unlocking the locking mechanism when the key is connected to or in close proximity to the housing.
