Systems and methods for providing compostable food containers which 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.

An ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizer and an electronic cigarette, wherein the ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizer comprises a shell, a tobacco tar storage bottle, an ultrasonic atomization piece and a flaky tobacco tar storage body fit to one side face of the ultrasonic atomization piece are provided in the shell, and a tobacco tar guide body is fixed to an outer wall of at least one side of the tobacco tar storage bottle; one side face of the tobacco tar guide body is communicated with the inner cavity of the tobacco tar storage bottle, and the other side face of the tobacco tar guide body is contacted with the side face of the tobacco tar storage body which is away from the ultrasonic atomization piece; and the ultrasonic atomization piece and the tobacco tar storage body are provided to be parallel to the length direction of an electronic cigarette.

An accessory includes a container band having an inner surface configured to conform to and engage an outer surface of a container, and an arm member connected to and extending from the container band. The arm member selectively engages a lid of the container. The arm member includes an arm body, a spout plug extending from the arm body, where the spout plug is configured to selectively seal a spout opening in the lid of the container, and a vent cover extending from the arm body, where the vent cover is configured to selectively seal a vent opening of the lid of the container.

The present disclosure provides a lid that has a design that is configured to enable drinking from any point along the perimeter of the lid while at the same time preventing liquid to escape from the lid when a user is not drinking (i.e., spill proof). The lid has a plurality of slits around at least a portion of the lid.

A container and methods of manufacturing and operating the same are provided where the container has a cap that is removable yet childproof. The cap is positioned in a tubular body, and the cap has a generally smooth or continuous upper surface to reduce or eliminate surfaces or edges for a child to grasp. To operate the cap, a disc in the center of the cap is pushed below a lip, and a user grasps the lip to pull the cap from the tubular body. The force needed to press the disc away from the lip is low enough for an adult but too high for a child. Moreover, the cap forms an interference fit with the tubular body with enough friction force to prevent the cap from falling out of the tubular body but is low enough that the cap can be pulled from the tubular body.

A lid assembly is provided that is configured to enclose a beverage within a beverage container. The lid assembly includes a lid, a lid cover, and one or more magnetically-interfacing elements that bias the lid and lid cover with respect to each other. To reduce spillage, various embodiments reduce contact between surface(s) of the lid and lid cover, and/or include a gasket the selectively seals a vent.

What is disclosed is a lid for sealing containers containing paint as well as other types of liquids and solids. The lid is flexible and resilient at portions that provide a seal for the container to preserve the contents by reducing off-gas leakage as well as ingress of oxidizing air in order to prevent drying of the contents or other types of deterioration. A handle is provided at a top surface of the lid and which is proximal to the outer structures of the lid. The handle enables a user to utilize thumb and forefinger to squeeze the handle and thereby laterally collapse the lid thereby reducing its lateral dimensions. The central portion of the lid is vertically raised from radially distal portions of the lid to facilitate collapse of the lid when the handle is squeezed. The lateral dimensional reduction enables the lid to more easily fit within the container and furthermore enables its position to be adjusted within the container and thereby enable it to be moved as close to the contents of the container as desired in order to minimize air pockets in the container space directly above the contents. Release of the grip on the handle allows the lid to revert to its original laterally extended position and thereby come into full sealing contact with the interior walls of the container.

An air contact reducer for food storage is described herein. The air contact reducer may be a single piece of plastic. The air contact reducer may be round or rectangular to match the shape of a food container. The air contact reducer may include a knob or handle to help move the air contact reducer up or down (or back and forth in some cases) to reduce the air contact with food while the food is being stored.

A storage box that includes a container, a lid and a circular seal. The lid includes a bottom part, a top part, a bottom cog-wheel part with sloping teeth, a spring, a snap part with stopping members, two lever bodies, a top cog-wheel with sloping pushing teeth, and a push button handle. The bottom part includes an indent for containing the spring and oriented holes for the snap part snaps. The top part includes the top button handle, the top cog-wheel part, the two lever bodies, and the bottom cog-wheel. The spring is positioned inside the indentation, the top part is assembled on the bottom part, the bottom cog-wheel is connected to the top cog-wheel in a way that enables a rotational movement between them and disables a relative vertical movement. The lid is in a retracted close position or in an extended open position.

A cover for sealing a container having an interior chamber that holds a quantity of material therein. A first channel provided on a base of the cover receives a rim on the container's side wall. A first sealing member is provided on the base. A second sealing member provided on the lid is complementary to the first sealing member and is engageable therewith when the lid is moved to a closed position. A flexible bridge extends between the base and the lid. One of the first or second sealing members is a protrusion and the other is a second channel. The protrusion may be received within the second channel when the lid is closed. Pressure may be progressively applied to the lid to zipper the cover into a sealed position. When the lid is in the sealed position material cannot be accidentally or purposefully removed from the interior chamber.
