A sip lid for a children's drinking vessel includes a spout component having a first end region and a second end region opposite to the first end region. The spout component is shaped and sized to be received within a child's mouth. The first end region comprises one or more openings configured to allow liquid to be extracted through the spout component when the child is applying suction to the spout component. The sip lid also includes a base component extending from the second end region of the spout component and surrounding the spout component. The base component is made from an elastic material configured to allow the base component to stretch over differently sized mouths of drinking vessels to form a liquid-tight seal between the base component and the drinking vessels.

The invention relates to a lid for releasable attachment to a container for containment of fluid, the container having an opening defined by a first rim, the lid comprising a body having a second rim adapted for abutment onto the first rim, and a flange comprising a body having an outer periphery for abutment to an inner surface of the container, wherein the body of the flange is adapted to permit fluid flow through the flange to exit the container between the first and second rim. There is also provided an abutment assembly of the container being adapted to receive the second rim of the lid for selectively displacing at least one portion of the second rim of the lid to allow fluid to exit the container. In an arrangement, the abutment assembly may be of the second rim.

An ashtray according to the principles of the invention includes a container portion having two internal sections where the container is configured to receive a first lid. The first lid includes topical features for use as an ash tray and defines holes to allow ashes to drop into section of the container. In one embodiment, the first lid also includes a second section covered with a hinged cover. This section defines an aperture to another portion of the container which is preferable configured to store accessories. A second lid is configured to cover the first lid. When the second lid covers the first lid, the ashtray is substantially odor free.

A moulded packaging component is made with a material which contains a quantity of cellulose equal to at least 80% by weight. The moulded package component has an average density greater than or equal to 0.8 g/cm.sup.3.

A pulp-molded cup lid with a leakproof structure is introduced in accordance to the present invention. The leakproof structure is constructed jointly by both of an annular hook and a bulger of an annularly peaked saddle, and an upward-bent bottom of an annularly caved channel, all of which are located respectively at different standard position angles to jointly clamp an annular roll side of a cup body in a manner of making the annular roll side being tightly snapped-on, water-sealed and movement-restricted within a movement-restricting space of the annularly peaked saddle, thereby effectively preventing a fluid, stored within the cup body, from spillover, wherein the standard position angle where the bulger is located is an acute angle.

A container comprising: a container body that includes a wall portion separating inside and outside and is formed of a long-fiber-reinforced silicon-carbide composite material obtained by combining monofilaments of silicon carbide with a silicon carbide matrix, the wall portion having a thickness equal to a specific dimension; and a lid configured to close an opening of the container body, formed of a material containing at least silicon carbide, and equipped with such a wall portion separating inside and outside that thickness is within a range of 1 to 3 times the specific dimension.

A food containment assembly includes a first cup with a first sealing flange and a second cup with a second sealing flange. The second cup is separate from and disposed adjacent to the first cup. A seal sheet is adhered to the first sealing flange and the second sealing flange, and the seal sheet forms a hinge to allow rotation of the second cup with respect to the first cup. The seal sheet includes a first slit disposed proximate the hinge and a second slit proximate the hinge, wherein tearing the seal sheet along the first slit allows access to contents of the first cup and tearing the seal sheet along the second slit allows access to contents of the second cup and the hinge remains intact.

A storage container may include a frame structure having a hinge with a pivot axis, a first frame component, and a second frame component coupled to the first frame component by a hinge; a first shell and a second shell; and one or more securing structures configured to facilitate isolation of an interior volume from the space exterior to the interior volume and maintenance of the storage container in a closed configuration. When the storage container is in a closed configuration, an interior volume bounded by the frame structure, first shell and second shell may be isolated from a space exterior to the interior volume.
