It is desired to make an improved lid suitable for pails, overcoming the problem of existing complexities and leaks. The invention is achieved by a lid (300) having a lid skirt (320) provided with an inner collar (328) that engages an outer collar (222) of a sidewall (220) of a pail (200), the lid skirt (320) being provided with a fastening mechanism (330) for tightening the inner collar (328) around the sidewall (220) below the outer collar (222). Corresponding to the lid (300) a pail (200) is provided having a simplified structure that is supported mechanically by the lid (300). Furthermore, a thermally insulated compound pail is disclosed, the compound pail comprising a first inner pail (200) that is inserted into a second outer pail (200) such that a space (404) is formed between said pails (200).

A lid may include first and second openings disposed within a spout. The first opening may provide a first fluid pathway to a fluid disposed in an attached container and the second opening may provide a second fluid pathway to a fluid disposed in the container. The lid may also include a spout at least partially defined by an outer wall. First and second openings may be disposed within the spout and the openings may be at least partially defined by the outer wall of the spout. A conduit, such as a straw, may be coupled to an opening. If desired, a closure may be connected to the lid and the closure may selectively close one or more of the openings.

A disposable waterproof paper covers for plates and cups. The disposable waterproof paper covers have a corrugated circumferential rim that is designed to wrap the rim of the plate or the cup from its underside.

At least some example embodiments relate to a container including a body and a lid. The body includes a base, a side wall, and an interior region at least partially defined by the base and the side wall. The lid includes a lid wall and a skirt that extends from a periphery of the lid wall. The skirt engages the body to retain the lid on the body. The skirt cooperates with the lid wall to define a cavity. The lid is formed from a laminate including a metal layer and a polymer layer coupled to the metal layer. The polymer layer is disposed inside of the metal layer with respect to the cavity. A portion of the body is disposed inside the cavity when the container is in a closed configuration. At least some example embodiments relate to a forming of manufacturing the lid.

A container system having a base and a lid. The base has a bottom and one or more sidewalls extending from the bottom to define an interior volume, the base having a rim at a peripheral edge of the one or more sidewalls, the rim defining a first engagement region. The system also has a lid having a peripheral outer rim defining a second engagement region, the first and second engagement regions dimensioned to releasably engage with each other. The lid has a hinged region having a first hinge about which the lid folds as a first part of the lid is lifted from the base to disengage portions of the first and second engagement regions from one another, to provide access to the interior volume of the base while a second part of the lid on an opposite side of the hinge remains secured and attached to the base.

A cover structure is disclosed. When an annular sealing portion of a cover body is engaged with a container, a sealing section of the annular sealing portion abuts against an annular inner surface of the container, and then, a folding section of the annular sealing portion is folded to a sealing state, so that part of the folding section abuts against the annular outer surface of the container to form a dual leak-proof sealing structure. The folding section of the annular sealing portion is an annular elastic and full-peripheral tightening structure. Therefore, the sealing between the container and the cover may be strengthened for a good sealing effect, and preventing liquid in the container from being splashed on surrounding articles. When the folding section is in the unsealing state, the cover can be separated from the container, which is convenient to carry and use.

The current invention relates to a lid for a cup which protects the contents of the cup and the drinking hole from contaminants. In some embodiments the lid for a cup includes a base and a cover connected to the base which rotates around the base. In this way the cover protects the drinking hole when closed, but can rotate open to allow the user to access the drinking hole and the contents of the cup. In some embodiments the cover is further equipped with a stopper which fits into the drinking hole and helps secure the cover in a closed position. In other embodiments the base is further equipped with a ramp leading up to the drinking hole which guides the cover to the drinking hole and locks the stopper within the hole. In other embodiments a protective layer is provided over the base which is removed before use.

Examples include a consumer product comprising a box comprising a detergent product, a lid and a lock. The lid comprises flanks covering a specific portion of a specific sidewall of the box. The lock comprises a specific actuator moveable by pressure, the actuator being connected to the specific portion, the flanks comprising an actuation area facing the actuator and permitting displacing it by applying the pressure. A top panel of the box comprises an opening and a top panel section joining at least a part of the specific sidewall to at least a part of an opposite sidewall, the opposite sidewall being opposite to the specific sidewall. The specific actuation area defines a specific centroid separated from the top of the lid by less than 5 cm and by more than 0.5 cm, and from a distal end of the specific flank by more than 0.5 cm.

The invention disclosed is an intermediate-volume, dimensionally scalable container having a large transmural aperture providing easy access to contents and a resealable lid providing quick and repeated access to the contents. In one embodiment the invention provides a clear visible indication as to the locked or unlocked state of the lid and is adapted to readily incorporate different forms of tamper proof and tamper evident seals. The invention includes an assembly of similar containers of the same or different volumes having recessed bottom portions to receive the upper portion and lid of a vertically adjacent container when stacked and at least two opposing sides having complementary surface deformations to facilitate side-to-side mating of such containers when shipped, displayed for sale or stored.

Molded pulp containers with fused junctions and methods of making of same are provided. The present invention provides a pulp container, comprising a molded pulp body, wherein the body comprising a bottom and at least one side wall forming a wherein the at least one side wall comprising a upper rim, a neck, wherein the neck comprising a upper closure part and a lower rim, a fused junction, wherein a part of the upper rim of the at least one sidewall of the body and a part of the lower rim of the neck are aligned and fused together. The fused junction may be formed by ultrasonic welding.
