In some examples, an apparatus may include a lid and a first storage compartment. In various examples, the lid may include a top end, a bottom end and a bowl stand. In other examples, the bowl stand may include an opening at the bottom end of the lid and a bowl stand well extending from the opening and bowl stand well stand dimensioned to fit a bowl stem of a bowl.

A leak resistant lid assembly for a beverage container where the lid assembly has a straw or similar means for a user to drink liquid is disclosed. The lid assembly may include a base, a straw that extends through the base, a gasket, and a grommet. The base may have a primary opening that receives the straw and a secondary opening in the top of the base, where the secondary opening acts as a vent to prevent a vacuum from occurring when drinking from a straw. The grommet may have a spiral ring may help create a flow path for air from inside the beverage container to the exterior environment.

Described herein is an improved bottle and lid design that eliminates the need for lids on bottles that require unscrewing, snapping, or other exertion to remove and/or replace the lid.

A plastic container comprises a container body having an opening to an interior of the container body; and a lid constructed and arranged for removably coupling to the container body, the lid comprising: a base portion covering a first region of the opening of the container body; a movable portion covering a second region of the opening of the container body in a closed position and exposing the opening to the interior of the container body in an open position; and a hinge arrangement between the base portion and the movable portion, wherein the movable portion is constructed and arranged to rotate about an axis along which the hinge arrangement extends, and relative to the base portion, wherein the base portion and the movable portion each extends at a predetermined height above the opening of the container body to increase a volume of an interior of the container to be greater than the interior of the container body.

An expandable bowl has an open top and a plurality of configuration changing side members connecting the open top to a base member. The configuration changing side members are designed to allow a user to pull the base member to changing the side members from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration, thereby increasing the overall volume of the bowl. The expandable bowl may be useful for various products, such as pre-packaged salads, where the salads may be packaged and displayed in the collapsed configuration, thereby minimizing shelf space, and may be changed to the expanded configuration by a user to permit tossing of the salad without risking spillage of the contents of the bowl.

A container lid comprising a frustum shaped sidewall, a chuck shoulder formed between an upper edge of the sidewall and a seaming panel, and at least one translative motion guide feature extending radially inward from the sidewall. A bottom (lower) edge of the sidewall can be closed by a bottom wall or rolled creating an open design. The frustum shaped sidewall and size of the translative motion guide features is designed to enable nesting of multiple container lids/caps. The lid is seamed to a container body. The lid and cap each include sealing surfaces designed to engage with one another creating a gas and liquid impervious seal, preferably capable of retaining pressure within a container. Alternatively, the translative motion guide feature can be integral with a frustum shaped container body, such as a cup.

A rimless lid (10, 97, 99) for a container, the rimless lid comprising: a cover member having an outer side (1) and an inner side (3) and a peripheral edge (5); and a reinforcing arrangement comprising one or more reinforcing members (30, 140, 530, 540, 630, 640) located at the inner side (3) of the cover member; wherein at least one of the peripheral edge (5) of the cover member or the one or more reinforcing members (30, 140, 530, 540, 630, 640) is/are configured to frictionally engage an internal wall of the container when the lid is mounted thereto.

Containers for storing food in a storage compartment may include a base portion of the container. The storage compartment is sealed with a film to get the food stored in the storage compartment fresh. The container further includes a reversible lid that is able to attach to the base portion of the container in two different configurations. In a first configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion without affecting the seal created by the film. In a second configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion when the lid is inverted and the film is removed from the base portion.

A food storage system comprising a bottom receptacle, a plurality of stackable containers, a handle configured to extend over a topmost one of the plurality of stackable containers, and a fastening mechanism having a bottom end coupled to the bottom receptacle and a top end coupled to the top lid. A length of the fastening mechanism is adjustable so that a spacing between the bottom receptacle and the handle is adjustable.

A fully automatic inductive sample-collecting bucket capable of storing sample information includes a bucket, and a bucket cover snap-fitted to an upper end of the bucket. A bucket cover cavity is formed in the bucket cover. A locking mechanism, and a control mechanism for driving the locking mechanism to act are integrated in the bucket cover cavity. An integrated circuit (IC) card inductive control assembly is integrated in the bucket cover. The bucket is provided with a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip. The IC card inductive control assembly is configured to identify IC card unlocking information of an external grip for cover opening work and to drive the control mechanism to work to control an action of the locking mechanism. The sample-collecting bucket integrates an RFID card capable of carrying sample coding information, and can realize the automatic cover-sealing and cover-opening function under the identification and control of the controller.
