A closure system for a beverage container includes a lid with upper and lower sides, a drinking orifice, a closure member for closing the drinking orifice, and an operating member for manually closing the drinking orifice by a user. The closure member is positioned at the lower side of the lid and fixedly connected with the operating member on the upper side of the lid, the closure member configured to overlap the drinking orifice in a closed position. A movement of the operating member in a first direction along a first axis substantially parallel to the upper side of the lid causes movement of the closure member from the closed position and opening of the drinking orifice, and a movement of the operating member along the first axis in a second direction causes movement of the closure member into the closed position and reclosure of the drinking orifice.

A gathering and dispensing scoop with agitating gate valve provides a scoop body defining an upper opening, a bottom opening, and a channel extending therebetween. A handle extends radially from an outer peripheral surface of the scoop body. A gate valve transects the channel and has a user operable finger tab adjacent to the handle for a user to move the gate valve from a first position transecting the channel and obstructing the bottom opening to a second position wherein the gate valve no longer obstructs the channel and opens the bottom opening.

A lid of a container, particularly beverage container, comprising an opening for emptying the container, fitted with guides formed on two opposite walls and with a slide piece for opening and reclosing the said opening, where there are two catches formed on the top surface of the slide piece, the catches fitted slidingly in the opening on the said guides, and where the slide piece is fitted with technical means for shifting the slide piece from the closed position to the open position and backwards, is characterised in that the surfaces (2a) of the catches (2) of the slide piece (1) which cooperate with the guides (4) are inclined at an acute angle (α) with respect to the top surface of the slide piece (1) positioned under the said surfaces (2a) of the catches (2).

A connection seal structure includes: a first structure including a connector that is removably connected; and a second structure that includes a connectable portion that allows the connector to be received thereon and connected thereto, the connectable portion allowing an elastic member including an elastic layer to be attached to at least a portion of the connectable portion facing the connector. The elastic member has an end bent in such a direction as not to come into contact with the connector while the connector is inserted or removed, the end being on a side closer to the connector while the connector is inserted, and the connection seal structure further comprises a retainer that keeps the bent end of the elastic member in a bent state.

A fluid device generally comprises a staging reservoir which may receive a volume of fluid flowing from a primary reservoir via a coupler upon operation of an actuator, wherein the staging reservoir is usable to measure fluid within the device in order to dispense a desired amount of fluid.

A portable beverage container lid can include a main outer housing, a slider top assembly coupled thereto, a carrier disposed therewithin, and beverage and vent seals coupled to the carrier. The main outer housing can include a beverage opening and a vent opening. The slider top assembly can slide laterally between open and closed positions. The carrier can move when the slider top assembly slides laterally. The beverage seal can close the beverage opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position and allow the beverage to pass through the beverage opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position. The vent seal can close the vent opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position and allow air to pass through the vent opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position. The beverage and vent seals can be actuated simultaneously.

An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container, and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents may be poured from the container. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be formed from upper and lower sled elements that are magnetically coupled to one another.

A can lid for a can includes a lid panel with a pouring opening, an actuating element on an upper side of the lid panel, and a closure element disposed on a lower side of the lid panel which faces an interior of the can with the can lid attached thereto. The closure element is shiftable between a closed position, in which the closure element closes the pouring opening in a liquid-tight and/or gas-tight manner, and an open position, in which the pouring opening is at least partially uncovered, along the lid panel substantially translationally in a guided manner by the actuating element. The closure element and the actuating element are made of a metallic material and are fastened to one another by a riveted connection and/or a welded connection that moves along a guide slot in the lid panel during shifting of the closure element.
