The invention relates to a container assembly comprising a container part with a circumferential wall and a bottom wall, and a lid part comprising a connection portion for connection to a rim of said circumferential wall and a lid which is pivotably connected to said connection portion, said connection portion comprising an upper wall provided with an access opening which can be sealed with said lid, and said connection portion is provided with stacking provisions which enclose said access opening and which are complementary with stacking provisions at the bottom of said container part.

A container system includes a tub including a front wall, a back wall opposite the front wall and side walls extending between the front wall and the back wall. A bottom extends between the front wall, back wall and side walls. A mouth structure includes a fastening feature configured for connecting to a lid. The mouth structure has an opening therethrough that provides access to a containing volume of the tub. A shoulder extends inwardly from the side walls to the mouth structure. A plurality of unitized doses of a detergent composition is located within the containing volume of the tub. A lid is connected to tub using the fastening feature. The lid has an open position for allowing user access to the containing volume and a closed position for preventing user access to the containing volume.

A personal utensil and container for transporting the utensil in a relatively sanitary fashion includes a first container portion and a second container portion pivotably mounted to the first container portion. The first container portion is pivotable between a closed position defining a storage cavity and an open position exposing a first inner surface of the first container portion and a second inner surface of the second container portion. The utensil is mountable within the storage cavity. A hinge is secured to the first and second container portions and defines a pivot axis. The first and second container portions are pivotable about the pivot axis. A lock mechanism is mounted to the first container portion. The lock mechanism engages the second container portion in the closed position to releasably secure the first container portion to the second container portion.

The invention concerns an apparatus for automatic application of lids to containers, said apparatus comprising a rotatable device unit comprising a plurality of circumferentially distributed lid holding members, a lid feeding unit, a glue application unit and a lid application unit. The lid holding members can be directed to each of the units simultaneously by rotating the rotatable device unit. The rotatable device unit further comprises an item application unit configured to fit an individual additional item onto the lid before the lid is attached to the container. The item application unit comprises an item supply unit and at least one movable gripping device configured to grip an individual additional item from the item supply unit and fit the individual additional item onto the lid. The invention also concerns a method for automatic application of lids to containers.

A lid is provided that includes an access opening in a top wall thereof selectively coverable by a pivotable cover. The lid attaches to a foodstuff container and provides access to an interior of the container. The lid achieves this without requiring removal of the lid while also providing an impeded foodstuff dispense path having greater control. The cover pivots between open and closed positions, and in one form, can be secured in one or both positions. This can be achieved by releasably securing the cover to the top wall to hold the cover in the closed position and/or capturing a tab of the cover within a depression in an edge portion of the lid to hold the cover in the open position. The cover can further be integrally attached to the lid so that the cover is generally coplanar with the top wall when in the closed position.

A lid assembly for a food container is described that may be used to store and transport food items. The container defines an interior to store a food product. The lid assembly includes a lid and a stopper that is sized to close an opening of the container. A biasing member urges the lid to an open position when the lid is unlocked or unlatched.

A lid component for a paperboard packaging container, the lid component comprising a lid part and a connecting part, the lid part comprising a top portion and a side wall portion, the top portion having an outer lid surface, an inner lid surface opposite to the outer lid surface, and a peripheral edge surrounding the outer lid surface; and the connecting part comprising an upper portion and a lower portion and having a lower edge surface. Stacking members are arranged on the outer lid surface and comprise a lid component stacking step and a container stacking step, the lid component stacking step being arranged laterally outboard and below the container stacking step. The lower portion of the connecting part is adapted to be supported by the lid component stacking step. A lid component comprising a locking arrangement and paperboard packaging container comprising a lid component are also disclosed.

A container cover and assembly provide an extremely low profiled edge to the container cover when the container cover is secured or attached to a complementary container. Using such a low profile results in less of an edge being exposed such that its profile works to prevent inadvertent opening of the hinged lid from the container cover and also prevent removal of the container cover from the container. The container cover comprises two halves that are integrally-molded. The two halves are connected by a common pivot point or hinge that is disposed to one side of each half which allows the halves to be folded over and onto one another. The structure of the container cover and integrally-formed hinged lid can be formed using a one-shot plastic injection molding process. This simplifies and speeds up the production process for manufacturing the container cover and hinged lid combination.

A device for inhaling of vapor that includes a water-resistant layer encasing the device to guard against humid environments and/or submersion in liquid. The invention consists of a vaping device, a sleeve fitting over the vaping device, and a cap for closing the sleeve around the vaping device to form a water-resistant layer surrounding the vaping device. The sleeve includes a small aperture through which the vapor produced through the mouthpiece of the vaping device can escape and be inhaled, allowing the vaping device to be used while equipped with the water-resistant sleeve.

Various examples are provided for a nestable cooler and a nestable cooler system. In one embodiment, the nestable cooler includes a hard-shelled body. A lid is coupled to the hard-shelled body and movable between an open position and a closed position. The hard-shelled body includes a first and a second longitudinal sides formed with a shelf on an interior surface of each of the first and second longitudinal sides, each shelf protruding inwardly into a cavity. The nestable cooler system can include the nestable cooler and a second nestable cooler. A base of the second nestable cooler can rest on the shelf when the second nestable cooler is disposed within the cavity.
