A food storage container includes two or more thermally insulated compartments that can facilitate storage of hot and cold items in a single container. The container includes sidewalls and interior walls that provide thermally insulated barriers. The container further includes a cover that also provides a thermally insulated barrier and securely complements each of the compartments within the container. The cover also includes a gasket or seal along its perimeter.

The closure adapted to cover a container aperture defines a retention projection dimensioned to be received in a retention aperture in a wall of the container. An insertion surface on the projection avoids the closure being impeded by an edge of the wall. The projection defines a disengagement surface to remove the projection from the retention aperture and defines a registering surface opposite the registering surface. The closure may be fitted agnostic to the rotational alignment of the closure relative to wall and then twisted relative to the container until resistance is provided by the registering surfaces engaging Automated closure requires only two degrees of movement and only two force sensors.

A sealable container system contains a body and a lid assembly. The body includes an internal volume defined by bottom and side wall(s), bump(s) on the inside surface of the side wall and projecting toward the internal volume, and a lid with outer and inner walls at its bottom side with a channel in-between. A gasket couples to the lid with a wall portion residing within the channel and a lip outside the channel. When the lid assembly is pressed into the body, the lip of the gasket engages the bumps and deforms, and a gap forms between the lip and the side wall, where air in the internal volume exits through the gap. When the lip of the gasket travels past the bumps, the lip fully seats against the inside surface of the side wall, where negative air pressure is imparted to the internal volume of the body.

A sealing structure for a lid and a container includes: the container including a hard material structure, a soft material structure connected to the hard material structure, and an opening at the top, the soft material structure includes a limiting portion, the limiting portion includes a container convex arc section and a container concave arc section connected to the container convex arc section; and the lid covering the opening to form an interference fit with the container, and including a locking portion capable of interlocking with the limiting portion, the locking portion includes a lid concave arc section abutting against the container convex arc section, and a lid convex arc section connected to the lid concave arc section and abutting against the container concave arc section. The sealing structure improves the sealing of the container, preventing leakage of liquid from the container, and making the container easy to carry.

A container set includes a cover, a base, the cover having a cover sealing member which is made of elastic material and protrudes from a cover peripheral edge of the cover to allow the cover to engage the base, and a first container received between the cover and the base and having a container edge to allow the first container to engage an inner surface of the cover. In addition, the inner surface of the base has a base groove to allow the cover sealing member to engage the base groove when the cover engages the base, wherein the container edge, the cover sealing member and the base groove constitute an interlocking structure. With this interlocking structure, the cover, the base and the container(s) located therebetween can form a tightly engaged container set.

A safety cover box is used to prevent unauthorized access to an electrical device stored within to vulnerable users such as children or pets. The safety cover box prevents harmful accidents by restricting access to the electrical connections of the electrical device. To do so, the safety cover box may include a safety lid, a box body, and a safety lock mechanism. The box body is designed to completely enclose the electrical device so that all electrical connections are safely protected. The box body also enables the normal operation of the electrical device without obstructing the connection of external electrical devices to the electrical device stored within the box body. The safety lid is designed to seal the box body to prevent access to the electrical device stored within. The safety lock mechanism is designed so that only authorized users can remove the safety lid from the box body.

A container employs an access tool in child-resistant packaging. The container includes a seamless container body having a sidewall and a base formed of a single piece of metal. In an embodiment, the container body is drawn to shape from the single piece of sheet metal via deep drawing. The container includes a lid that covers an aperture at an upper end of the container body when the container is closed, and a lever ring attached to the container body adjacent to an upper edge of the sidewall. The lever ring receives and grips a plug portion of the lid to cover the aperture. When not in use, the access tool is magnetically attached to the base, hidden from view. The access tool is a lever configured pry the lid away from the lever ring. The container may include a removably coupled secondary cover to cover the lever ring and lid.

A sealing device for a container and a container system that includes the sealing device is provided. The sealing device includes a substantially rigid center body and an elastically deformable seal member attached to the center body. The substantially rigid center body has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral edge extending between the top surface and the bottom surface. At least a portion of the elastically deformable seal member extending outwardly past the peripheral edge of the center body. The container system includes a container with an interior cavity defined by at least one side wall and a base wall. One or more grooves is disposed in an interior surface of the at least one side wall.

A bottle assembly is provided including a bottle having an end portion with a first detent formation, and a collar having a second complementary detent formation. The collar is arranged to snap fit to the end portion by engagement of the detent formations by application of force only in a direction towards the bottle. In addition, a valve assembly for use with a drinking vessel is provided including a base member and a sealing member. The sealing member is movable, dependent on a pressure difference across it, between a sealed position, wherein the sealing member is sealed against the base member, and an unsealed position, wherein the sealing member is unsealed from the base member. One or more channels are formed between the base member and the sealing member and are arranged to allow air to enter the drinking vessel when the sealing member is in the unsealed position.

Systems and methods for providing compostable food containers that preserve the quality of a food product for an extended duration of time, and which optionally allow for cooking of the food product therein. In some implementations, the food containers are sturdy, stackable, insulating, and require minimal or no manual labor to assemble. In some implementations, the food container includes a base and a cover which cooperate to form a closed chamber for supporting, protecting, insulating and optionally cooking a food product, such as a pizza. The base and cover may each be formed of a single layer of material including, but not limited to, molded sugarcane fiber (“bagasse”), molded wood fiber, molded bamboo fiber, molded paper or plastic.
