A lid for covering the open end of a beverage container (e.g. a container of coffee) having: an annular base adapted to detachably and sealably engage with the circumference of a drinking edge of a container; an elevated portion projecting upwardly from the annular base; and a spout; the lid arranged and formed such that when in use with a container containing liquid and wherein the lid is securely fitted to the container a user is able to move the spout between a closed configuration which closes the open end of a container such that liquid is substantially prevented from escaping from the container and a drinking configuration which allows a user to drink the liquid contained within the container and also wherein in use the lid is adapted such that a user can squeeze the container or the elevated portion which results in the spout moving from a closed configuration to a drinking configuration.

Disclosed is a stackable ring replacement (known as the bucket stacking ring) for commercially purchased buckets. The bucket stacking ring facilitates stacking of buckets in a stable and structured manner The bucket stacking ring may be designed for a circular bucket and is comprised of entirely plastic materials. Through an effective seal, the bucket (with the ring placed atop) has its contents contained with the assistance of a bucket stacking ring insert. Further, a bucket (which is concurrently stacked atop the bucket maintaining the bucket stacking ring) is approximately two inches down into the lower bucket. Thus, the upper bucket is locked into place and supported by the walls of the lower bucket. The interior walls of the upper portion of the lower bucket surround the outer bottom portion of the upper bucket which is lowered into the lower bucket through the facilitation of the stacking ring.

A storage container includes a container body, a lid, and a dividing member. The container body defines an accommodating space that has a top opening. The lid is removably disposed on the container body, and has two covering sections that cooperatively cover the opening. Each one of the covering sections is independently operable to uncover a part of the opening. The dividing member is removably disposed in the accommodating space for dividing the accommodating space into two compartments.

A combination bucket lid and seat permits a user to access contents of the bucket while the user is seated. The lid has a lip for engaging the bucket, and an opening configured to receive a hand of a user for removing the bucket contents. The opening may be selectively covered by a door that is attached to the lid. The door is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The door is configured to cover the opening of the lid in the closed position and uncover the opening of the lid in the open position. The door also may have a pad that allows the user to be comfortable while sitting. More specifically, the door may be attached to the lid by a hinge, or rotatable about an axis of rotation, to selectively cover and uncover the opening.

A polymeric article includes a body and encoded visual indicia formed on the body. The encoded visual indicia may be scanned to generate instructions. A method of providing the polymeric article includes applying polymeric materials to a mold to provide an article-blank web having formed therein an article preform of a desired shape with encoded visual indicia formed in the article preform.

A kit for sealing an open container includes a utensil and a lid. The lid includes a lid body, a sealing mechanism, and at least one holding lug. The sealing mechanism is positioned on an inner face of the lid body, and is configured to sealingly engage an opening of a container to enable the lid to seal the opening of the container. The at least one holding lug extends radially outward from the lid body, and has a through hole extending along a direction perpendicular to the inner face. The through hole is configured to mount the utensil on the lid when the lid is engaged with a container.

A sealing lid. The sealing lid includes a lid top portion having an upper surface and a lower surface. An outer concentric ring protrudes from the lower surface of the lid top portion. An inner concentric ring protrudes from the lower surface of the lid top portion. A channel is defined between the outer concentric ring and the inner concentric ring. The sealing lid is configured to releasably secure to a top rim of a beverage can by the top rim friction fitting within the channel.

A drinking cup lid, comprising: a center cover portion; a rib ring formed at the external circumferential edge of the center cover portion, the rib ring having a drinking recess, the external edge of the drinking recess being open while an insertion opening is disposed at the internal edge thereof, the bottom surface of the drinking recess being provided with a drinking opening; a vent hole formed in the center cover portion or in the rib ring; a snap ring portion formed at the external circumferential edge of the rib ring for a snap fit to the drinking cup; and a plug connected by a flexible strip in a hanging way to the external circumferential edge of the snap ring portion, the plug having a plug portion, a hand-held portion and an insert portion. Before use, the insert portion of the plug is fitted first into the insertion opening. Thereafter, the plug portion is fitted to the drinking opening. In this way, the laborious plug-and-pull problem of the conventional splash proof plug is resolved. As a result, the splash proof plug according to the invention can achieve an effort-saving plug-and-pull effect.

A hermetically sealed container includes a container body having a bottomed cylindrical shape that opens upward, a lid having a cylindrical portion that is fitted into an end portion on an upper opening side of the container body, the lid openably closing an upper opening of the container body, and a sealing member having an annular shape, the sealing member being provided on the cylindrical portion and hermetically sealing a gap between the cylindrical portion and the container body. The container body having a contact surface that the sealing member contacts, the contact surface being a tapered surface.

A culture dish includes a base and a lid. The base includes a side wall and a concave floor that define a first interior volume open at a top end of the base. The base further includes an annular rim between the floor and a bottom end thereof. The lid includes a side wall and a ceiling that define a second interior volume open at a bottom end of the lid. The lid further includes an annular rim extending radially outwardly therefrom. An inner surface of the side wall of the lid is configured for slidable receipt about an outer surface of the side wall of the base to engage the lid about the base with the first and second interior volumes overlapping one another to define a sealed, combined internal volume bounded by the side walls of the base and the lid, the floor, and the ceiling.
