A capped barrel system for aging liquids includes a barrel and a barrel cap removably coupled to the barrel. The barrel includes: a plurality of wooden staves suitable for aging liquids, hoops for holding the staves together, a head coupled to the staves, and a bunghole formed in the head. The barrel cap includes: a lid including a top portion and a rim extending downwardly from the top portion. The rim includes an inner surface and a seal that defines at least a portion of the inner surface. The barrel cap further includes an opening formed in the top portion of the lid that is generally aligned with the bunghole and a closure removably positioned in the opening. When the closure is positioned in the opening, a gas tight coupling between the closure and the lid and a gas tight fit between the seal and the barrel form a gas tight environment between the barrel and the barrel cap.

A lid from paper, paperboard or paper-like material for a container, wherein the lid is produced from an integral planar blank and has a lid plate and a lid collar. The lid collar proceeds from a periphery of the lid plate, and the lid collar is formed from at least two plies of the planar blank. A first ply of the lid collar, proceeding from the periphery of the lid plate, extends to a periphery of the lid collar, and wherein a second ply of the lid collar, from the periphery of the lid collar, on a radially inner side of the lid collar extends to a periphery of the second ply of the lid collar. The periphery of the second ply of the lid collar at least in portions is received in a groove in the region of the periphery of the lid plate.

A thermal pizza slice container apparatus for transporting a pizza slice and maintaining temperature includes a base having a base bottom side, a base sidewall, and an open base top side defining a base cavity. The base bottom side is sector-shaped and configured to accommodate a slice of pizza. A bottom lip is coupled to a perimeter of the open base top side. A lid has a lid top side, a lid sidewall, and an open lid bottom side defining a lid cavity. The lid top side is sector-shaped and conforms to the base bottom side. The lid sidewall has a flared lower portion that is selectively engageable with the bottom lip to seal and alternatively unseal the base cavity and the lid cavity. The base and the lid are each comprised of an outer shell layer and an inner insulation layer.

A bowl assembly has a bowl and a lid. The bowl assembly is adapted to store water or food for a pet. The bowl functions as a container to hold the water or food, while the lid functions in a first configuration to seal the water or food within the bowl. The bowl assembly is convenient to travel with and adapted for use in a vehicle where in the first configuration. The bowl assembly allows for the pet to access the water or food while in a cup holder. The bowl assembly is also stabilized by the lid in a second configuration, where placed on a ground or floor surface.

A fire resistant container assembly for protecting memorabilia from a fire includes a tub that is comprised of a fire impermeable material to withstand temperatures associated with a house fire. The tub has a pair of recesses each integrated into the tub such that each of the recesses defines a grip for gripping and lifting the tub. A divider is positioned within the tub to define a first compartment and a second compartment in the tub to store memorabilia associated with a deceased person. A lid is removably attachable to the tub and a groove is integrated into the lid. The groove insertably engages an upper threshold of the tub to inhibit heat from entering the tub. The lid is comprised of a fire impermeable material to withstand temperatures associated with a house fire.

A disposable, non-toxic, biodegradable, flexible cover fitting on beverage containers to protect from unwanted contamination or spillage is described. In one embodiment, the flexible cover includes a system comprising a tamper-evident package and a cover sealed within the tamper-evident package, the cover including a flexible body having a substantially flat, circular shape and a first thickness and a bead having a second thickness disposed about a circumference of the flexible body, wherein the second thickness is greater than the first thickness.

A heat exchanging thermal liquid container system that comprises a main body at least partially defining a liquid reservoir structured and operable to retain a liquid, and a phase change material (PCM) liner comprising a PCM liner PCM having a selected melting temperature, and/or at least one PCM pod. Each of the at least one PCM pod(s) comprising a respective PCM pod PCM having a respective selected melting temperature. Wherein the PCM liner and/or the at least one PCM pod are disposable within the liquid reservoir such that when a liquid is disposed within the liquid reservoir the liquid will contact at least one of the PCM liner and the at least one PCM pod such that thermal energy can be exchanged between the liquid and the respective at least one of the PCM liner PCM and the at least one PCM pod PCM.

A ventilated container for produce includes a bottom, sidewalls extending upwardly from the bottom, and a rim having a flattened top surface. The sidewalls include at least one ventilation opening located proximate the rim of the container thereby permitting the rim of the container to be generally flat and uninterrupted. The location of ventilation opening(s) proximate the rim of the container allows the flow of rising ethylene gas within the container to exit near the top of the container improving ventilation within the container. A plastic film can be applied over the top of the container and is adhered to the container with an adhesive to form a secure and rigid seal between the film and the container. The flattened surface of the rim improves the adherence between a film and the container to enclose and seal the container, aids the rigidity of the container, and lessens the likelihood of the edges of the rim being bent or folded when pressure is exerted to protect produce provided within the container. Moreover, an aperture on the bottom of the container provides drainage of liquid from the container and allow air to flow.

A container configured to hold one or more units of a product is provided. The container may comprise a lid and a base. The lid and/or the base may be constructed from a pulp derived from a plant material. For example, the pulp derived from the plant material may be a wood pulp material. A related method is also provided.

A one-piece drink-through cup lid with a straw section includes a conic section and a detachable tube section. The conic section is axially protruding at a center of the cup lid and forming a rim at a top surface of the conic section. The detachable tube section is axially protruding from the rim of the conic section with a closed surface at a top thereof and an annular tear line at a bottom periphery thereof. The conic section and the tube section are formed in one-piece to ensure the cup lid is fully closed and sealed for practical use, and when the tube section is removed by manually tearing along the tear line, a through hole is formed at a top of the conic section so as to form a conic straw section for easily consuming the drink.
