Expandable container, made up of a cylindrical container (1), of the type of a soda can, closed at the bottom and open at the top comprising on its outer upper part a thread (2) that will serve to seal the container hermetically by means of a cap (4) and towards the inside a small flange (3) along its entire perimeter, where the screw cap (4) has an internal thread (5) inside, to screw with the external thread of the container (2), and an elastic seal (6) on the upper part of the inner part that will confer tightness to the assembly when the cap is properly tightened; the extensible part is made up of a mobile inner cylinder (7), with a diameter slightly smaller than that of the container, which has a straight perimeter outer flange (8) on its upper edge, which will rest on the top of the container (1), and another flange (9) on its lower edge curved towards the outside that supports the interior wall of the container (1) and that said curved flange (9) carries an elastic joint (10) inside; and when the mobile inner cylinder (7) slides upwards, it does so until the elastic joint (10) located inside the lower flange (9) abuts the lower part of the circular flange (3), the assembly being watertight in that area; and when the mobile inner cylinder (7) is unfolded, the volume of the assembly is increased, so that to the liquid (11) contained in the container another complementary liquid and even some ice can be added, increasing the volumetric level from level (13) to level (14).

A re-closable vent for a container closure which requires no pre-formed holes in the closure deck, provides a tamper-evident feature, and provides simple rotation of a cap structure to open and a vent after punching out a frangible deck section.

A funnel system for attachment to a fluid reservoir. The funnel is telescopically expandable and include an adaptor that provides for attachment to a variety of different fluid reservoir openings. A snap cap is also provided that seals the fluid path when the fluid is not in use. In one embodiment, the funnel system is attached to the fluid reservoir for a prolonged period of time and functions to replace the stock cap on the reservoir.

Methods of manufacturing shelf stable pods containing food or drink to be rapidly cooled, include inserting a mixing paddle into an aluminum can through an open end of a body of the can and sterilizing the can and mixing paddle at temperatures below a stress relief temperature of the can in a first aseptic chamber. The method also includes filling the can with a sterilized food or drink in the aseptic chamber, sealing a sterilized base of the can to the open end of the body of the can with a food-safe adhesive to create a hermetic seal, removing the can from the first aseptic chamber while maintaining the hermetic seal outside the first aseptic chamber, and mechanically seaming the base to the can.

A method of post mold manufacturing a container having an integral collapsible spout molded in an extended position with flashing surrounding the integral collapsible spout. An outflow transporting means is moving the container from a blow molding machine to a trimming finishing station where flashing is removed and the container trimmed to specifications. The container is then transported to a spout collapsing station with integral collapsible spout in the molded extended position where it is compressed to a fully collapsed position. This process is completed while the material used in molding the integral collapsible spout is thermally pliable, permitting the integral collapsible spout to be transformed from the molded extended position, to the fully collapsed position.
