A abutting-typed paper cover includes a cover body, a reinforced guide portion, and a buckling portion. The cover body includes a flat face and a cover rim. The reinforced guide portion is disposed on the cover rim and wraps on three outer side walls of the cover rim. The buckling portion extends from the reinforced guide portion and an extending direction of the buckling portion is opposite to that of the cover rim. On a section taken along a vertical line perpendicular to a plane where the flat face is located the buckling portion includes an arc-shaped section. One end of the arc-shaped section is abutted against the flat face. When the abutting-typed paper cover is covered on a container, a curling rim of the container will abutt against the flat face and the arc-shaped section. The abutting-typed paper cover can be fixed on the container 20 and it will not fall off without external force, and it can form a better seal with the container so that the liquid in the container will not leak out.

A container, preferably in the form of a bucket, includes a closure for closing the container. The closure includes a closed lid plate that is placeable on a container rim bounding a container opening in order to cover the container opening. A lock ring is placeable over the lid plate and screwable to the container. The lid plate is fixable to the container with the lock ring. A seal ring is arranged between the container rim and lid plate for sealing the container opening. The lid plate has a rim portion with a receiving portion, in particular U-shaped, that receives the container rim and encompasses the container rim radially from the inside and outside.

A container lid assembly outfits a container includes a lower lid construction and a slider element. The slider element is received in the lower lid construction and is linearly displaceable in a back and forth manner relative to the lower lid construction for opening and closing the container lid. The lower lid construction includes concave surfacing and the slider element includes convex surfacing. The slider element seats atop the lower lid construction such that the convex surfacing and concave surfacing form a spherical surface-to-surface seal and enabling slidable open-close functionality. The slider element is resiliently actuable when seated atop the lower lid construction for enhancing seated engagement therebetween. The slider element includes a step-down formation cooperable with resilient actuation thereof for further enhancing seated engagement between the slider element and the lower lid construction. The container lid further locks to the container when in an actuated lower lid configuration.

A package for retaining a food item includes a tray with a base connected to at least one sidewall. The sidewall extends away from the base to a rim to define an inner chamber. The tray is made of a fluid impermeable material to retain fluids in the inner chamber. The package also includes a shelf made of the fluid impermeable material that is removably supported in the inner chamber such that the shelf is spaced apart from the base of the tray to permit an absorbent pad to be positioned therebetween. The shelf is configured to support the food item in the inner chamber separated from the absorbent pad.

There is disclosed a magnetic tray having a first tray and a second tray connected to each other and which are the same or substantially the same. The first and second trays are collapsible and expandable. The first and second trays each include a body member adapted to be collapsible and expandable; a base member adapted to fit in the bottom of the body member and having a magnet on a first side of the base member and one or more magnets on a second side of the base member; and a collar member having a hinge member and a lock member. The first tray and the second tray are connected to each other by the hinge members. The first tray and the second trays are adapted to be separable by the hinge members.

A lid that closes a mouth of a container is made of a material principally including a paper material. The lid includes a side wall that is fitted into the mouth of the container, and a top lid that is surrounded by the side wall. The top lid includes an inlet/outlet formation part that forms an inlet/outlet for an article stored in the container, and a temporary fixing part that temporarily fixes the inlet/outlet formation part to the top lid. This can achieve a lid that has satisfactory thermal insulation, can reduce leakage, is user-friendly, can reduce a manufacturing cost, and is conscious of environmental issues.

The semirigid plastic content of a fresh produce container is reduced by omitting or removing a central portion of a semirigid plastic lid to form a central opening therein. The central opening is covered and sealed by a plastic film, which can be applied before, during, or after packaging. The film can include visible indicia. The plastic film can be attached to an inner flange of the lid that surrounds the central opening, and can be by a resealable adhesive. During a packaging step, the tray is filled with the fresh produce, and then the lid can be sonically spotwelded to the tray. The sonic spotwelding can be of an outer lid flange to a corresponding outer tray flange. In embodiments where the central portion of the lid is removed, the removed plastic can be combined with precursor plastic and used to form additional semirigid plastic lids.

A bottle assembly is provided including a bottle having an end portion with a first detent formation, and a collar having a second complementary detent formation. The collar is arranged to snap fit to the end portion by engagement of the detent formations by application of force only in a direction towards the bottle. In addition, a valve assembly for use with a drinking vessel is provided including a base member and a sealing member. The sealing member is movable, dependent on a pressure difference across it, between a sealed position, wherein the sealing member is sealed against the base member, and an unsealed position, wherein the sealing member is unsealed from the base member. One or more channels are formed between the base member and the sealing member and are arranged to allow air to enter the drinking vessel when the sealing member is in the unsealed position.

A container for receiving animal feed, in particular wet feed, including a base surface and a lateral surface protruding from the circumference of the base surface such that animal feed is received in the receiving area formed by the base surface and the lateral surface and can be emptied through an opening formed by the lateral surface circumference facing away from the base surface. The base surface is operatively connected to an opening element for opening a hole in the base surface. Also provided is animal feed being received in the receiving area of a container, to a method for producing a container, and to a method for filling a container with animal feed and/or food.
