A lid for covering the open end of a beverage container having: an annular base adapted to detachably and sealably engage with the circumference of a drinking edge of a container; an elevated portion projecting upwardly from the annular base; and a spout; the lid arranged and formed such that when in use with a container containing liquid and wherein the lid is securely fitted to the container a user is able to move the spout between a closed configuration which closes the open end of a container such that liquid is substantially prevented from escaping from the container and a drinking configuration which allows a user to drink the liquid contained within the container and also wherein in use the lid is adapted such that a user can squeeze the container or the elevated portion which results in the spout moving from a closed configuration to a drinking configuration.

The closure adapted to cover a container aperture defines a retention projection dimensioned to be received in a retention aperture in a wall of the container. An insertion surface on the projection avoids the closure being impeded by an edge of the wall. The projection defines a disengagement surface to remove the projection from the retention aperture and defines a registering surface opposite the registering surface. The closure may be fitted agnostic to the rotational alignment of the closure relative to wall and then twisted relative to the container until resistance is provided by the registering surfaces engaging Automated closure requires only two degrees of movement and only two force sensors.

The present embodiments describe an insulated drinking vessel with a multifunction lid. In an embodiment, the drinking vessel can be configured to receive a multifunction lid. The multifunction lid may, in one embodiment, include an opening for receiving a drinking straw. In an embodiment, the multifunction lid may additionally include an opening for drinking or sipping directly through the lid. In an embodiment, the lid may include an operable cover for covering at least one of the openings in a first position and for allowing access to the fluid through the opening in a second position. In a further embodiment, the lid may include a plurality of operable covers. A first operable cover may be configured for covering the drinking straw opening in a first position and allowing insertion of a straw in a second position. The lid may also include an operable cover for covering the sipping spout in a first position and allowing drinking directly through the spout in a second position.

A collapsible container, in particular a drinking cup, includes a cup-shaped element (2), made from a flexible deformable material, having a lower base part (3), a top part (4) with an opening (4) and side wall sections (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) arranged therebetween. The side wall sections (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) can be folded towards each other along fold lines (7, 8) formed into the material of the cup-shaped element (2). The cup-shaped element (2) can be folded together by twisting the base part (3) to the top part (4). The fold lines (7, 8) are oriented so that the cup-shaped element (2) constricts, as a result of torsion, between the base part (3) and the upper part (4) when twisting the base part (3).

A sealable container system contains a body and a lid assembly. The body includes an internal volume defined by bottom and side wall(s), bump(s) on the inside surface of the side wall and projecting toward the internal volume, and a lid with outer and inner walls at its bottom side with a channel in-between. A gasket couples to the lid with a wall portion residing within the channel and a lip outside the channel. When the lid assembly is pressed into the body, the lip of the gasket engages the bumps and deforms, and a gap forms between the lip and the side wall, where air in the internal volume exits through the gap. When the lip of the gasket travels past the bumps, the lip fully seats against the inside surface of the side wall, where negative air pressure is imparted to the internal volume of the body.

A sealing structure for a lid and a container includes: the container including a hard material structure, a soft material structure connected to the hard material structure, and an opening at the top, the soft material structure includes a limiting portion, the limiting portion includes a container convex arc section and a container concave arc section connected to the container convex arc section; and the lid covering the opening to form an interference fit with the container, and including a locking portion capable of interlocking with the limiting portion, the locking portion includes a lid concave arc section abutting against the container convex arc section, and a lid convex arc section connected to the lid concave arc section and abutting against the container concave arc section. The sealing structure improves the sealing of the container, preventing leakage of liquid from the container, and making the container easy to carry.

Described may be a magnetically resealable food storage container having a container body and a lid portion. The container body may have a container upper portion, a container opening, a container ledge, a container closure magnet, and a bottom container surface. The lid portion may a lid external end and a lid internal end. The lid internal end may be configured for placement against the container body and may further have a magnetic closing assembly or a magnetic lid ring. And the magnetic closing assembly may further comprise a lid closure magnet, a lid magnet housing, and a lid hinge. The lid hinge may connect the lid magnet housing to the lid internal end and may be further configured for a reversibly rotational clasping action between the lid closure magnet or and the container closure magnet or a magnetic track located on the container body.

Disclosed is a disposable lunch box, which includes an upper cover and a bottom box, the upper cover includes a cover body and a first clamping part connected with the cover body, the bottom box includes a box body and a second clamping part connected with the box body, the first clamping part and the second clamping part are configured for assembling the upper cover and the bottom box together. An easily broken rib is arranged between the cover body and the first clamping part, and an easily broken edge is arranged between the box body and the second clamping part, or the easily broken edge is arranged between the cover body and the first clamping part, and the easily broken rib is arranged between the box body and the second clamping part.

A box cover for a portable airtight box, comprising an upper cover, a lower cover, a sliding plate, a reset spring, a pinching member, a lower cover plate, and a sealing ring, wherein the upper cover is fixedly connected to the lower cover, an accommodating space is formed between the upper cover and the lower cover, and the sliding plate is movably arranged within the accommodating space, wherein the reset spring is disposed between the sliding plate and the lower cover, wherein the sliding plate is capable of moving upward relative to the lower cover, wherein the pinching member is movably arranged on the upper cover, and the pinching member abuts against the sliding plate, wherein the lower cover plate is movably arranged at outer bottom of the lower cover, and the lower cover plate is fixedly connected with the sliding plate.

Collapsible indoor and outdoor containers having a collapsible wall section with shape-retaining characteristics are disclosed. In particular, collapsible coolers, fish bins, and wheeled vertical bins are provided. The collapsible wall section may include foldable tiers of a flexible material, each tier having at least one stable, relatively expanded position and at least one stable, relatively collapsed position; and an intervening, non-folding tier composed of a different, relatively stiff or rigid material. The coolers, fish bins, and wheeled vertical bins are each advantageously provided with a collapsible insert container that nests within and collapses together with a shell of the respective container, the respective wall folds of the shell and insert meshing together to result in a combined collapsed vertical dimension as small or nearly as small as that of the collapsed shell alone.
