Can lid, can and method for manufacturing a can lid
A can lid for a can includes a lid panel with a pouring opening, an actuating element on an upper side of the lid panel, and a closure element disposed on a lower side of the lid panel which faces an interior of the can with the can lid attached thereto. The closure element is shiftable between a closed position, in which the closure element closes the pouring opening in a liquid-tight and/or gas-tight manner, and an open position, in which the pouring opening is at least partially uncovered, along the lid panel substantially translationally in a guided manner by the actuating element. The closure element and the actuating element are made of a metallic material and are fastened to one another by a riveted connection and/or a welded connection that moves along a guide slot in the lid panel during shifting of the closure element.
Beverage Container Enclosure
A container enclosure for removably enclosing a container, the enclosure including a base component and a cap component configured to be removably coupled to the base component. The base component includes an outer shell having a base wall and a cylindrical sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, and an interior sleeve configured to be inserted within the outer shell. Further, the cap component includes an opening and a sliding tab configured to transition between a rearward position and a forward position to open and close the opening, respectively.
Closure and Lid and Method of Forming Closure and Lid
An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can
be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers an opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container, and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents may be poured from the container. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be formed from upper and lower sled elements 130,136 that are magnetically coupled to one another. In some examples, the lower sled of the slider may include an air vent with rounded entry portions, and the lid assembly may include engaging members with ramped surfaces.
Lid assembly for a drink container
A lid assembly is disclosed for drink containers. An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid includes a sip hole, a first lid flat portion, and a first lid recess portion having a first track on a side wall adjacent to the first lid flat portion. The slider includes a winged extension configured to fit the first lid flat portion, and a central portion configured to fit the first lid recess portion. The central portion includes a first tab on a side of the central portion to engage the first track. The lid further includes a first lid step portion from the first flat portion that restrains the first winged extension from sliding out of the first track and a nose recessed portion at the end of the first lid recessed portion that allows the slider to be inserted.
CONTAINER LID
A container lid is provided. The container lid comprises a lid body and an outlet lid. The lid body is provided with a liquid outlet; and the outlet lid is movably connected to the container lid, and configured to define a closed state, an opened state, and a detachable state of the container lid. When the container lid is in the closed state, the liquid outlet is closed, when the container lid is in the opened state, the liquid outlet is opened, and when the container lid is in the detachable state, the outlet lid is separated from the lid body.
Caps and containers containing the same
One aspect of the invention provides a cap comprising: a plane defining an opening and a slidable closure adapted and configured to seal the opening. The slidable closure includes: a projection extending above an external surface of the plane and a flexible seal coupled to the projection and located on an internal surface of the plane opposite the projection. The flexible seal includes: a connection portion coupled to the projection; a sealing portion having a profile that is complementary to a shape of the opening; and a flexible hinge adapted and configured to bias the sealing portion against the internal surface. Another aspect of the invention provides a container assembly including: a container and the cap as described herein coupled to the container.
CAP CLOSURE UTILIZING AXIALLY SLIDING RAIL SYSTEM
A cap closure having a top portion, a bottom portion having a dispensing orifice and a rail system. The rail system mechanically adheres the top portion to the bottom portion. The rail system includes at least two rail tracks on the bottom portion and at least two individual rails on the top portion. The two individual rails move axially along the two rail tracks to move the cap closure from a closed position to an open position to provide access to the dispensing orifice and vice-versa to close access to the dispensing orifice.
CAP ASSEMBLY FOR DRINK CONTAINERS WITH A SLIDING SWITCH
Drink containers include a liquid container and a cap assembly removably coupled to the liquid container. Cap assemblies include a switch, a trigger and seal bar. Upon actuating the trigger the seal bar slides back to form a drink outlet opening in the cap assembly. To hold the seal bar in an open state without additional external force from the user, the switch is slid from an unlocked position to a locked position, thereby keeping the drink outlet and a vent formed in the cap assembly open in order to cool down a warm beverage in the liquid container.
CAN LID, CAN AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A CAN LID
A can lid includes at least one lid panel having at least one pouring opening, an actuating element disposed on an upper side of the lid panel, and a closure element disposed on a lower side of the lid panel. The closure element is fastened to the actuating element by a connection and is movable by the actuating element between a closed position, in which the closure element closes the pouring opening in a liquid-tight or gas-tight manner, and an open position, in which the pouring opening is at least partially uncovered. At least one protrusion is defined in the lid panel facing the closure element, and an air channel is formed between the closure element and the lid panel by a deflection of at least a section of the closure element at the protrusion, when the closure element is being moved towards or is in the open position.
CLOSURE SYSTEM FOR CONTAINERS
A closure system for a container for liquids or bulk material includes a lid having an upper side, a lower side and a drinking orifice, a closure member for closing the drinking orifice that is positioned at a lower side of the lid and configured to cover an entire surface of the drinking orifice in a closed position, an operating member for manually opening the drinking orifice by a user positioned at the upper side of the lid and connected to the operating member, and at least one recess defined in the lid and disposed relative to the closure member such that, when the closure member is moved from the closed position via the operating member, the at least one recess is at least partially overlapped by the closure member such that a gas exchange occurs between an interior of the container and an environment.
