Bucket and lid systems and apparatuses
A lid for a bucket comprises a center portion and at least one side portion. In some embodiments, the side portion is removably coupled to the center portion. In some embodiments, the side portion is hingedly connected to the center portion and includes at least one cutout suitable for receiving a bail mount of the bucket. The hinged connection between the center portion and the side portion may be on an axis substantially perpendicular to an axis on which plural bail mounts of the bucket lie.
Multi-compartment rigid tray with recloseable rigid dome lid
Disclosed are rigid multi-compartment recloseable packages. A package may comprise a rigid tray comprising a product surface to hold food products. The tray may comprise a raised lip along a perimeter of the product surface to laterally secure the food products thereon. The tray may have a tray skirt horizontally extending outward from a top edge of the lip, and dividing features upwardly extending from the product surface to form distinct compartments on the product surface for receiving the food products therein. Furthermore, such an exemplary package also comprises a recloseable rigid lid having an upper surface substantially coextensive with the product surface, and at least one sidewall downwardly extending from the upper surface. The lid may also comprise a lid skirt horizontally extending outward from a bottom edge of the at least one sidewall, where the lid skirt is coextensive and complimentary in shape with the tray skirt.
TEMPERATURE-CONSERVING CONTAINERS
A lid may be for a temperature-conserving container and may include a bottom wall, a side wall formed around a perimeter of the bottom wall, and a top wall connected to the side wall. An insulative cavity may be between the top wall and the bottom wall, and the insulative cavity may be configured to reduce heat transfer through the lid. A lip may be formed around at least a portion of an outer surface of the side wall or the top wall. The lid may be configured to be slidably received in an opening of the temperature-conserving container such that at least a portion of the lip engages a top rim of the opening and forms a seal between the outer surface of the side wall and the inner surface of the opening, thereby sealing the temperature-conserving container.
Storage tube and cap assembly
A storage tube assembly, with a cap having a top surface and a sealing member connected to the top surface, the sealing member has a generally cylindrical upper wall and a generally cylindrical lower wall, the sealing member also has a recessed portion between the upper wall and lower wall and a flange cut into the lower wall; a sealing ring, the sealing ring is sized to cooperate with and be received in the recessed portion of the sealing member of the cap; and a tube, the tube has a generally circular inner wall with a cut therein, the cut in the inner wall is positioned to receive the sealing ring when the sealing ring is positioned within the recessed portion of the cap and the cap is placed into an open end of the tube.
VAPOR-TIGHT CONTAINER
Disclosed is a vapor-tight container comprising a container body having a first extension formed to extend outwards along a rim of a sidewall thereof and a locking protrusion bent downwards from an end of the first extension, and a container lid configured to cover an upper portion of the container body so that the inside of the container body is sealed.
Lid featuring ease of use and improved release from a tray or container
A lid and tray assembly includes at least two lift tabs and/or indentations at separated but not directly opposing locations about the lid periphery that can be actuated simultaneously or sequentially to provide two distinct locations from which initial disengagements can extend and merge to enable easy removal of the entire lid. Embodiments further include locations that can be pressed while corresponding tabs are lifted. Some embodiments include a peripheral skirt that is short enough to allow a user's fingers to pass beneath and support the tray sidewalls when lifting the tray-lid assembly from a horizontal surface, avoiding any need for the lid engagement to bear the weight of the tray and its contents. Lid-tray engagement can be by means of inserting a lid peripheral rim into a tray lip groove, or by engaging a lid rim undercut with a tray lip undercut.
Tamper evident and resistant container
A container having tamper evident and resistant features includes a tray, a cover, and a blocking wall that prevents direct access to a peripheral cover lip of the cover when the cover is in a closed position on the tray. The container includes at least one tab that prevents direct access to the peripheral cover lip and which is at least partially separable from the container along at least one line of weakness to provide access to the peripheral cover lip for removing the cover from the tray. The tab further includes an interference element that inhibits replacement of the tab into its original position with respect to the container after the at least one line of weakness have been severed.
RIM FOR A CONTAINER
A rim assembly for a container comprises a frame member (346) having a perimeter corresponding in shape to an opening of a container such that, in use, the frame member is received within the opening and extends around an interior surface of a side wall of the container; a plurality of securing tabs (394) hingedly connected to the frame member (346), each tab (394) including an engagement member (396); sealing means configured for repeated sealing engagement with a lid of the container; and retaining means (399), wherein each of the securing tabs is movable between a first position in which the engagement member is disengaged from an aperture (317) in the container side wall and a second position in which the engagement member (396) is engaged with one of the apertures (317) in the side wall, and wherein the retaining means is configured to retain the securing tabs in the second position such that the rim assembly is secured to the container around a top edge of the side wall.
Tamper Evident Lid and Method of Making Same
A tamper resistant, push-on closure member for a container. The closure has a top cylindrical band portion, a bottom cylindrical band portion and a top cover. The top band has a plurality of continuous annular ridges extending inwardly along the circumference of its inner surface for contacting the side surface of the container. The bottom band has plurality of rigid teeth extending from a lower peripheral margin of the bottom band in an upward and inward direction for locking engagement against the lip of the container. The plurality of teeth are connected to a lower peripheral margin of the top band by a plurality of projections for providing a visual tamper evident indication. A plurality of tooth channels positioned between the lower margin of the top band and the upper margin of the bottom band for facilitating the flow of plastic resin during the production of the plurality of teeth.
Pressurized Beverage Container with a Portion Having a Function Associated with Immersion in a Beverage
A pressurized beverage container comprising a receptacle with an internal area, an opening and a lid covering said opening, in which said lid comprises a releasable section which is manually movable from a sealed position in which it forms a functional covering part of said lid, to an open position in which it is displaced from a remainder of said lid such that an aperture is formed in said lid, in which said lid comprises a tail part, in which said tail position is movably associated with said releasable section such that during at least part of said manual movement of said releasable section from said sealed position to said open position said tail part travels inwardly into said internal area, and in which said tail part comprises a function associated with immersion in a beverage.
