The present invention relates in particular to a closure (3) for the fluid-tight closing of a vessel (2) filled with a substance (5), wherein the closure (3) is provided with a fluid-tight pressure-transmission element (9) and wherein the closure (3) is provided with a base body (8) to which the pressure-transmission element (9) can be attached in a fluid-tight manner, wherein the pressure-transmission element (9) is deflectable by pressurisation without incurring damage, for biological inactivation of microorganisms present in the substance (5), wherein the closure is configured in such a way that the pressure-transmission element (9), when the vessel (2) is closed with the closure (3), is held (clamped between the vessel (2) and the base body). The invention also relates to a corresponding container (1) and a corresponding method.

A holding receptacle for effectively storing contents in a reduced air environment to retard oxidation, drying, and other issues related to air exposure. The holding receptacle comprises a body with a flexible liner integrated to the body such that the flexible liner sits within an interior portion of the body to define an interior body to act as a conduit for a content of the holding receptacle. The holding receptable also comprises of an air valve which adjusts the air within the interior portion of the body by compressing the flexible liner toward an upper end of the body. This expels excess air from an interior portion before a lid is placed over the upper end of the body to allow the contents within to be stored in an air-free environment and improving the shelf life of the contents.

To provide a packaged medical device which is hard to cause a variation in the fixed states of the medical devices. Specifically, provided is a packaged medical device comprising a container having an opening portion, a medical device housed inside the container, and a gas impermeable film sealing the opening portion by heat-sealing, in which the inside of the container is set to a negative pressure to the atmospheric pressure and the medical device is pressed by the gas impermeable film.

A support includes a central portion configured to receive one or more products, a perimeter band which completely surrounds the central portion, a projection defined at the perimeter band and exhibiting at least one raised portion emerging with respect to the perimeter band and extended away from the central portion. The raised portion includes a through channel crossing the projection and having an access opening which is completely extended at a position spaced from the perimeter band and is configured to enable gas to pass into the through channel through the projection. The central portion and the perimeter band are made of sheet material.

Disclosed are improved devices, systems and methods for storing, protecting and/or dispensing/delivering products that are particularly sensitive to pressure changes, alterations in gas distributions and/or partial pressures, physical impacts, temperature changes and/or other variations in the ambient environment.

A valve assembly is provided for use with a food storage container, including an opening formed in its lid member with at least one air channel formed between the container and the lid member. The valve assembly can be operated by a knob that, in a first position, unseats a check ball from a valve seat so that the valve assembly operates as a two-way valve able to work with a vacuum adapter in “marinate” mode or to open the lid member. In a second position, the check ball of the valve assembly unseats from the valve seat so that the valve assembly operates as a one-way valve that is operable to work with a vacuum adapter in “vacuum” mode to preserve the freshness of food contained therein. The valve assembly can be used with a vacuum system as part of a food storage container system.

A single serve beverage container with a tapered/conical design manufactured from metal. The container has a curled top flange that assembles a lid component which is hermetically sealed when under vacuum. The beverage container will allow for a new category of beverages such as shots, mixers and other similar drinks.

A tray for receiving sausages is provided. The tray includes cells which are adapted to substantially match the shape of sausages or other soft materials. The tray may be vacuum sealed to cause a relatively uniform top surface suitable for stacking. The tray may be sealed without pre-freezing the sausages and without causing significant deformation to said sausages upon thawing. The tray may be loaded in an automated manner without the use of robotic arms placing individual sausages into the tray.

A storage box that includes a container and a lid, which includes a bottom plate, a top plate, a top plate anchor and a movable latch. The bottom plate includes an arm that the height of its left section is bigger than the height of its right section, and its inclined middle section inclines from left to right. The movable latch includes a protrusion that its left section is flat and the inclined right section inclines and descends from left to right. The movable latch is designed to be positioned between the top plate and the bottom plate, in a way that the horizontal protrusion is inserted under the horizontal arm of the bottom plate and the movable latch can be moved from right to left and back.

An inventive vacuum storage container for long term storage of perishable and non-perishable items, incorporating a pump, power supply, controller, sensor, top cover, expandable seal, pressure sensor and base plate. The controller activates the pump based on signals from said sensor to maintain a vacuum state within an interior vacuum chamber formed by said top cover, expandable seal, and base plate. The container is configured to effectively maintain vacuum pressure by activating a pump when the lack of vacuum pressure is indicated.
