The present invention discloses a cup lid structure covering on an external cup and including: a lid having a body portion; a first joint portion provided on a bottom end of the body portion for connecting with the external cup; a straw insertion hole penetrating through the body portion; and a flexible positioning element provided on the body portion and normally closing the straw insertion hole, wherein the positioning element is recoverably deformable to allow an external straw to pass through the straw insertion hole, so that the straw is positioned, users can directly access the beverage in the cup without opening the cup lid conveniently, and the convenience in usage is improved.

A container cap with a body having a lower portion with internal threads for connecting to a container, and an upper portion defining a main opening. The upper cap portion having a first surface defining a partial opening and a stem protruding through the main opening. The lower cap portion having a second surface defining a partial opening. The upper and lower cap portions configured to rotate with respect to one another such that the partial openings align between a closed position and an open position to selectively permit fluid flow therethrough. A method for capping a container.

A mug lid apparatus comprises a base cylindrical body having a primary base hallow opening in the center and a secondary base hallow opening situated along the perimeter of the cylindrical body opposite to the primary base hallow opening. The top cylindrical body is attached to the base cylindrical body. The top secondary hallow opening is situated along the perimeter of said top cylindrical body. The top cylindrical body is rotational against the base cylindrical body. When the primary base hallow opening is aligned to the primary top hallow opening, the secondary base hallow opening is not aligned to the top secondary hallow opening.

A drink protector lid capable of being snapped onto a standard disposable cup in a standard way. A slidable aperture cover includes an extension tab that can be snapped onto a post in the center of the lid. The lid includes a centrally disposed depressed portion allowing space for a user's nose during use. The lid also includes a portion having widened top surface that has a plurality of small holes for allowing a beverage to pass through but restricting the introduction of foreign matter such as a mind-altering drug pill, powder or liquid. The widened top surface also has a raised portion on one side creating a stop for the slidable aperture cover.

Disclosed is a dual container device comprising a bottom container comprising a first base, a top member comprising one or more first openings, and a first wall extending between the first base and the top member, a top container comprising a second base comprising one or more second openings, and a second wall extending from the second base, an intermediate wall extending either upwardly from the upper rim of the first wall or downwardly from the lower rim of the second wall, the intermediate wall for slidably receiving the container that is not attached thereto therethrough, and guides and tracks disposed on the interior surface of the intermediate wall and the exterior surface of the wall of the container received within the intermediate wall such that motion of the top container with respect to the bottom container is restricted to between an open position and a closed position.

A cap assembly is used in a container. A food product to be dispensed from the container is in an inner volume of the container, and the inner volume of the container is closed by a lid. An identifier is arranged on the cap assembly and/or on a surface of the container. The cap assembly includes two parts relatively moveable with respect to each other in a relative movement. The relative movement and/or a solidary movement of these two parts allows displacement of the identifier according to a certain path and allows opening and/or closing a communication between the cap assembly and the inner volume of the container.

A liquid container lid assembly enables a user to more effectively control liquid egression from a liquid container as outfitted with the lid assembly. The lid assembly includes a lower lid construction and an upper lid construction. The lower lid construction includes an upper-receiving depression having at least one liquid-letting aperture. The lower lid construction is removably attachable to an upper container rim of a liquid container and the upper-receiving depression includes concave upper portion surfacing. The upper lid construction is nestable in superior adjacency to the upper-receiving depression and includes a lower-opposing portion and a primary liquid outlet. The lower-opposing portion includes convex lower portion surfacing, which convex lower portion surfacing mimics the concave upper portion surfacing for eliminating gaps therebetween. The primary liquid outlet is orientable in superior adjacency to the lower lid construction for selectively outletting liquid received in an assembly-outfitted liquid container.

A pressurised headspace beverage closure 1 that may be opened and reclosed in at least substantially a one-handed manner; comprising a drinking aperture, at least one headspace pressure lock mechanism 5, at least one controlled-rate headspace pressure equalisation valve arrangement 6 and a sealing system 7 suitable for multiple re-use, and whereby when the headspace pressure 10 is at least substantially above or below atmospheric pressure the headspace pressure lock mechanism 5 may employ the use of the headspace pressure 10 itself to ensure that the closure cannot freely be opened by a user, whereby the headspace pressure equalisation valve arrangement 6 may freely enable the headspace pressure 10 to be vented such that it may at least substantially equalise with atmospheric pressure at a pre-set and controlled rate preferably independent of a user thereby allowing safe and controlled venting of the headspace pressure 10, and whereby once the headspace pressure 10 has at least substantially equalised with atmospheric pressure the headspace pressure interlock system 5 may release its headspace pressure lock sufficiently to enable the one-handed closure to be fully and freely opened and reclosed as required.

Systems and methods have demonstrated the capability of rapidly cooling the contents of pods containing the ingredients for food and drinks.
