A disposable, non-toxic, biodegradable, flexible cover fitting on beverage containers to protect from unwanted contamination or spillage is described. In one embodiment, the flexible cover includes a system comprising a tamper-evident package and a cover sealed within the tamper-evident package, the cover including a flexible body having a substantially flat, circular shape and a first thickness and a bead having a second thickness disposed about a circumference of the flexible body, wherein the second thickness is greater than the first thickness.

A container includes an external receptacle including glass and has a bottom and a side wall to define an inner cavity. An internal receptacle includes glass, is housed within the inner cavity of the external receptacle, and has a bottom and a side wall. An intermediate element, including plastic or elastomeric material, is interposed between the internal receptacle and the external receptacle. The side wall of the internal receptacle includes a ring having a free upper face and a lower contact surface. The intermediate element is interposed between the lower contact surface of the ring and a support surface on a collar at the upper end of the side wall of the external receptacle. The collar has a step-like seat open upwards and toward the inner cavity of the external receptacle and extending between an upper free face of an upper edge of the collar and the support surface.

Disclosed is a molded pulp cup lid made of a material which is a mixture of paper pulp and/or plant fibers. The molded pulp cup lid is manufactured by a mold with pulp suction molding and hot pressing technologies, and has a binding edge capable of covering the cup securely, an offset cup top, and a drinking opening formed on a high platform to achieve the effects of preventing a liquid contained in the cup from spilling to the outside, facilitating users to carry or move the stacked takeout paper cups, and retarding the flow of the beverage at the drinking opening.

A container for containing cosmetic products comprises an external glass receptacle (100), an internal glass receptacle (200), designed to be housed within the inner cavity (110) of said external receptacle (100) and in turn provided with its own inner cavity (210) for containing the product, and an intermediate element (300) made up of plastic material, destined to be interposed between respective mutual contact portions of the internal receptacle (200) and of the external receptacle (100). The side wall (212) of the internal receptacle (200) is provided, at its upper end, with a ring (213) having a free upper face (214) and a lower contact surface (215), and the intermediate element (300) is interposed between said lower contact surface (215) of the ring (213) of the internal receptacle (200) and a support surface on a collar (113) provided at the upper end of the side wall (112) of the external receptacle (100). The collar (113) is provided, in correspondence of its upper edge (114), with a step-like seat (115) open upwards and toward the inner cavity (110) and extending between an upper free face (117) of said upper edge (114) and a lower rest surface (116) realizing said support surface of the intermediate element (300) on the collar (113).

A locking beverage container includes a container and a complementary removably securable lid. The lid includes a drinking aperture, a flap, and a lock. The drinking aperture is in fluid communication with the container when the lid is secured to the container and can be utilized by an individual to drink the contents of the container. The flap can be moved to a closed position to cover the drinking aperture to prevent access to the drinking aperture and contents of the container. The lock is operably connected to the flap and can selectively lock the flap in a closed position such that the flap cannot be moved by an unauthorized individual. The lock can also be unlocked thereby enabling the flap to move and enabling the individual to access and utilize the drinking aperture again.

A container configured to hold one or more units of a product is provided. The container may comprise a lid and a base. The lid and/or the base may be constructed from a pulp derived from a plant material. For example, the pulp derived from the plant material may be a wood pulp material. A related method is also provided.

In some implementations a closable container includes at least (a) a semi-rigid tub that is composed at least partly of silicone and that includes at least (1) a base wall, including a floor of the tub; (2) one or more side walls defining a junction with the base wall and extending from the junction to a rim, the one or more side walls including one or more interior surfaces that together with the floor define an interior chamber of the tub; and (3) at least one window formed in at least one side wall of the one or more side walls that is at least one of at least partially transparent or translucent. The closable container also includes at least a semi-rigid lid composed at least partially of silicone and configured to sealingly mate with the one or more side walls via the rim.

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. The first shell and second shell may be configured to be releasably secured by the first frame component and second frame component, respectively. When the first shell is secured by the first frame component, the second shell is secured by the second frame component, and the storage container is 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.

A single-walled disposable cooler can include: a body including a base and a plurality of support walls coupled to the base, the plurality of support walls and the base defining an interior cavity of the body, and the plurality of support walls extending upwardly from the base to form an opening at an upper terminus of the body in fluid communication with the interior cavity; and a lid configured to reversibly couple with the body, the lid shaped to cover the opening of the body. The body can be made entirely of a pulp-based material.

A storage container includes a bin portion configured to hold items. The storage container also includes a first lid portion configured to close the top of the bin with a substantially airtight seal. The first lid portion has a substantially planar region and a raised rim extending at least most of the way around the periphery of the substantially planar region. Further, the storage container includes a sub-bin portion disposed within the bin portion and coupled to the bin portion.
