An insulating container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching devices, in the closed configuration. In some examples, the insulating container further includes a pressure regulation device. In other examples, the latching devices further include an elastomeric latch upper and a semi-rigid latch lower configured to engage an insulating container keeper when the when the lid is in a closed and a secured position. In still other examples, the latch upper and the latch lower are configured in a recessed position, and flush with a front side of the insulating container lid and flush with a front side of a bottom portion of the insulating container when the latch device secures the lid in a closed position.

The present invention relates to a container assembly for accommodating a beverage. The container assembly comprises a collapsible beverage container having a body part for accommodating the beverage and a cylindrical neck part defining a gas-filled headspace. The container assembly further comprises a closure sealing off an opening of the cylindrical neck part. The closure comprises a closure disc, an inner cylindrical part and an outer cylindrical part. The closure disc comprises a beverage outlet for extracting the beverage. The closure further comprises a pressure-relief device located at the closure disc or the inner cylindrical part. The pressure-relief device is capable of establishing a permanent or reclosable opening through the closure or between the closure and the neck part for allowing a flow of fluid from the headspace to an external space when a pressure difference exceeds a predetermined pressure value being lower than the burst pressure of the container.

The present disclosure is directed to a lid component for use with a jar and a band. The jar and band may be a mason jar and a band for a mason jar. The lid component is made of an air-impermeable material and is dimensioned and configured to be releasably attachable to the jar by the band and to seal a wide mouth opening of the jar in an air-tight manner. The lid component comprises a one-way valve adapted to allow gas to escape from the jar while, at the same time, prevent air from entering the jar, when the lid component is releasably attached to the jar. The one-way valve comprises a bottom opening and a protruding top wall. The lid component further comprises a sealing wall that extends radially outwardly from the bottom opening. The sealing wall is substantially flat.

The present invention relates to a system for processing milk, which comprises a thermal pasteurization device and an autoclaving treatment device. The raw milk is sequentially subjected to thermal pasteurization and autoclaving treatment to obtain milk which can be transported by a long distance. The present invention has the beneficial effects that the method for processing milk of the present invention is used for extending the service life of the pure milk and improving the storage capacity thereof; the short service life reduces the influence on the nutrient composition and flavor of the milk; the obtained milk has a taste closer to the fresh raw milk, and the storage time is longer; after thawing to restore the liquid state, the shelf life can be up to 21 days; the milk processed by the method of the present invention can be used for transporting by a long distance.

A food-storage container includes a container body defining a storage area and a rim. A removable lid is connectable to the rim to seal the storage area. The lid defines a vent hole. A latch assembly of the container has a latch and a vent flap. The latch is pivotally attached to the lid and is configured to engage with the container body to secure the lid to the rim when in a latched position. The vent flap is pivotal relative to the latch between an open position in which the flap is spaced from the vent hole and a sealing position in which the flap seals the vent hole.

A lid component for use with a glass jar and band of a mason jar, and a fermentation kit comprising these components. The lid component is made of an air-impermeable material and is dimensioned and configured to be releasably attachable to the jar by the band and to seal the wide mouth opening of the glass jar in an air-tight manner. The lid component further comprises a one-way valve adapted to allow gas produced by a fermentation process occurring inside the jar to escape from the jar while, at the same time, prevent oxygen-containing air from entering the jar, when the lid component is releasably attached to the jar.

A non-spill drinking cup valve system (10) comprises a lid assembly (12) and a flexible valve member (14). The flexible valve member (14) is removably attachable to the lid assembly (12). The lid assembly (12) comprises a spout (16) having a drinking aperture (18) therein. The flexible valve member (14) comprises a protruding member (26) having a tip (52) and a drinking valve element (28) in the tip (52), which, in use, controls fluid flow into the spout (16) and out of the drinking aperture (18). The protruding member (26) and the spout (16) are of a complementary shape and, when the lid assembly (12) and the flexible valve member (14) are attached together, the protruding member (26) extends substantially into the spout (16).

A valve, such as for feeding appliances, has an inner space and walls partly enclosing the inner space. The inner space has a smaller first end and an opposing larger second end. The first end has a dimension being larger than 0 mm and smaller than or equal to 0.2 mm, and the inner space forms an opening through the valve or is closed at the first end by a closing part of the valve. The closing part of the valve has a thickness which is smaller than or equal to 0.1 mm.
