A container that includes: a body; a first opening at a first end of the body and a second opening at a second end of the body, where the second end of the body additionally includes a plurality of threads on an exterior surface of the body; a lid assembly capable of being affixed to the second opening, where the lid assembly includes a band, a lid, and a sealant; a cover to conceal the lid assembly.

A system and method for securely storing valuables using a multiple level locking structure. The structure may include two completely separable parts generally termed a lid and a vessel. Both the lid and vessel may employ a lock and key system together with a twist-off mechanism. Complementary matched magnets are placed on the lid and vessel to hold the two pieces together when first coupled and again after twisting together. The lid and vessel may be formed as a rigid, cylindrical or slightly conical container, typically made of metal, glass, ceramic, or plastic, with a wide mouth or opening.

A container including a lid, a first body, a second body and a latch is provided. The first body connects to the lid by a first hinge for pivoting between a lid closed position and a lid open position. The first body defines a storage cavity. The second body connects to the first body by a second hinge for pivoting the first body relative to the second body between a first body closed position and a first body open position. The second body defines a storage cavity. The latch is attached to the second body. The latch is transitionable between a latched position in which the latch engages the lid and prevents transitioning either the lid or the first body to the corresponding open positions.

The present invention relates to a container with multiple compartments arranged in a linear pattern between four container walls. A lid may be configured at a container top. The lid may be closed to conceal all the compartments. The lid may be opened to expose the compartments. The lid may be partially opened to expose some of the compartments and conceal some of the compartments. The lid may slide along the container top parallel to a container bottom. The container may have a ball detent wherein a spring biases a ball towards the container top whereby a protruding ball portion of the ball is received by a ball detent receiver configured in a lid bottom. As the lid slides along the container top, the protruding ball portion may enter divots of the ball detent receiver, thereby stopping the lid at multiple partially closed positions.

A container closure includes a generally planar body having a product side and a customer side. The container closure body defines a limited container opening and an actuation location. Further, the container body includes a force concentrating construction disposed adjacent the limited container opening.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are presented for a wrapper for foodstuffs. An elastomeric layer is flexible and substantially planar. A metallic layer is malleable and substantially planar. An adhesive couples the metallic layer to at least a perimeter of the elastomeric layer so that the elastomeric layer, the metallic layer, and the adhesive comprise a food covering for a container and the metallic layer is configured to conform around an edge of the container.

A portable deployable container system has structural elements, including a base, a cover, and a set of panels, which can be manipulated into at least two container configurations. In one configuration, a container is formed by releasably securing the cover to the base to define a first volume. Some or all of the panels may be enclosed within such first volume, defining an undeployed configuration for the system. A second configuration involves removably securing some or all of the set of panels to the base and enclosing the panels with the cover, thereby deploying the system and forming a second, deployed configuration enclosing a volume larger than the first volume. Interconnections between the structural elements benefit from duckbill connections which add strength to the configurations by receiving flanges of first elements into corresponding channels of second elements formed by flared walls on such structural elements.

A self-drilling, self-tapping bone screw is described in which the bone screw has a drill tip free of threads and having a length at least as great as about the thickness of a proximal cortical bone layer, with the drill tip having opposed lands and a helical flute between each of the lands with each of the lands having a cutting edge configured to cut bone as the drill tip is rotated into the bone with the flutes conveying the bone debris away from the drill tip, where a lead thread begins to self-tap internal threads in the proximal cortical bone layer after the drill tip has drilled through the proximal cortical bone layer so as to avoid stripping the threads formed in the bone layer. A method of installation is also disclosed.

The invention relates to a method for producing a sealed vessel, in which vessel it should be possible to store moisture-sensitive contents, and the vessel closure associated with which vessel should have improved recyclability. A vessel closure having a sealing element is provided. The sealing element comprises a polymer composition containing at least one polymer. The Shore A hardness of the polymer composition, determined in accordance with DIN ISO 7619 with a hold time of 15 s and a temperature of 23 C., is at most 80. A vessel having an opening is provided, the opening of the vessel being surrounding by a vessel mouth. The vessel closure is applied to the vessel mouth such that the opening of the vessel is sealed, the sealing element having a temperature of at most 80 C. during the application of the vessel closure to the vessel mouth, and/or an inert gas is introduced into a head space of the vessel and the vessel closure is applied to the vessel mouth such that the opening of the vessel is sealed by the vessel closure.

A shipping container includes an insulated base, an upper perimeter portion including one or more securing mechanisms, insulated side panels, and an insulated lid. Each of the insulated side panels is movable between a respective first position and a respective second position, wherein the shipping container is in the first configuration when all of the insulated side panels are in the first positions and collapses into the second configuration when all of the side panels are in the second positions. The insulated lid is removably attachable for selectively closing and accessing an internal storage volume. Each of the securing mechanisms is configured to removably secure the upper perimeter portion to the insulated base when the shipping container is in the second configuration. Each of the securing mechanisms is also configured to removably secure the insulated lid to the upper perimeter portion in both the first and the second configurations.
