A lid for securing to the brim of a container, the lid including a container closure having a disk shaped member with a periphery for mating with the brim of the container. The periphery includes annular inner and outer side walls with at least one annular rib disposed on each of the inner and outer side walls. The ribs of the annular walls form a gripping area to secure the lid to the container for preventing leaks and accidental spillage. A top wall interconnects the inner and outer side walls and includes visual cues for viewing the brim of the container when the lid is affixed to the brim. The lid additionally includes a pronounced wedge shaped sipping spout projecting upwards from the container closure. The container closure includes a circular indented channel for stacking one lid covered cup over another with additional stability provided by the sipping spout.

A capped barrel system for aging liquids includes a barrel and a barrel cap removably coupled to the barrel. The barrel includes: a plurality of wooden staves suitable for aging liquids, hoops for holding the staves together, a head coupled to the staves, and a bunghole formed in the head. The barrel cap includes: a lid including a top portion and a rim extending downwardly from the top portion. The rim includes an inner surface and a seal that defines at least a portion of the inner surface. The barrel cap further includes an opening formed in the top portion of the lid that is generally aligned with the bunghole and a closure removably positioned in the opening. When the closure is positioned in the opening, a gas tight coupling between the closure and the lid and a gas tight fit between the seal and the barrel form a gas tight environment between the barrel and the barrel cap.

A method of forming an undercut which is engageable with an edge, on a side wall of a cover intermediate body using a cover intermediate body and a secondary processing die. In the secondary processing die, a moving inner core has, on the outer surface thereof, a concave shape corresponding to a convex shape of the inner surface of the undercut. The moving inner core is made up of a plurality of core segments which are arranged along the circumferential direction. Each core segment is vertically movable along an inclined surface of a core. When the moving inner core is moved upward, the moving inner core transforms smaller than the inner diameter of the side wall of a cover. The slide core has, on the inner surface thereof, a convex shape corresponding to the concave shape of the undercut.

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.

A container includes a container body and a lid, which has an outer lid wall portion surrounding a central portion. The outer lid wall portion provides a lid-side sealing surface, which engage with body-side sealing surface, when the lid is applied to the container body to close the container. The container further includes a securing ring inserted within the outer lid wall portion. The securing ring having a lower portion and an upper flange portion extending from the lower portion at an acute angle (α) of less than 80° from vertical.

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.

A container has a container lid and a container lower section connectible with each other via thread ribs on the lid and the lower section, by twisting the lid and the lower section relative to each other about a screwing axis of rotation. The thread ribs on the lid and the lower section extend over a circumferential angle of 90 degrees or less. A clearance at least equal to the circumferential extension thereof is left in the circumferential direction on the lid and the lower section. At least two thread ribs on the lid and the lower section overlap each other. A complete overrun circumferentially is possible in only one of the two opposing positions when an opposing position of a thread rib in the lower section or the lid is reached during a screwed connection in the direction of the screwing axis of rotation.

A container (100) with a lid lever (132) to disengage a lid present on a rim portion (112) of the container (100) is disclosed. The lid lever (132) is integrated between two cuts and is attached to a primary skirt (114) of the container (100). The lid lever (132) is pulled laterally outward towards a free end to disengage the lid. A secondary skirt (138) in the form of a flange is present behind the lid lever (132). The secondary skirt (138) prevents deformation of the primary skirt (114) and the rim portion (112) of the container (100). The shape of the lid lever (132) extends past the primary skirt (114) thereby making the lid lever (132) more effective and further makes it distinguishable from the primary skirt (114).

A closure and dispensing system for a container storing granulated powder that includes a closure comprising a collar and a lid, and a measuring utensil. An anti-bacterial food-grade additive can be coated on these components of the dispensing system or incorporated into the material of manufacture. The anti-microbial additive can include silver ions incorporated in the plastic resin or incorporated into a lacquer. The lid can be formed with a utensil retainer that can include an anti-microbial agent incorporated into its material of manufacture or coated onto its surface. The measuring utensil can be stored inside the closure and used to dispense granulated powder from the container.
