FOOD CONTAINERS HAVING LOCKING INTERFACES
A container includes a molded fiber tray at least partially defining a tray internal volume. The tray includes a perimeter wall extending upward from a bottom tray surface, a rest extending outward from the perimeter wall, a parapet extending upward from the rest, and a tray build-up projecting inward from the parapet. The tray build-up and the rest at least partially define a gap therebetween. The container includes a molded fiber lid at least partially defining a lid internal volume. The lid includes a perimeter wall extending downward from a lid upper surface, and a ridge extending downward from the perimeter wall. The ridge includes an outer ridge wall, a lateral surface extending inward from the outer ridge wall, and a lid build-up projecting outward from the outer ridge wall. The lid build-up is configured to be received in the gap when the container is in a closed condition.
NOVEL PACKAGING SYSTEM FOR PRODUCE
A packaging system for strawberries includes a box having a tray and two short sidewalls and two long sidewalls extending from the tray to form a cavity. The two short sidewalls have a plurality of slots that open up to the cavity. Containers are disposed within the cavity. Each container has a top lid, a base portion, and a hinged spine connecting the top lid to the base portion. The top lid and the base portion include a plurality of recessed vents, and the top lid and the base portion are configured to be removably attached to one another by a coupling mechanism, in which the top lid and the base portion form windows to allow air therethough while removably attached. The recessed vents of and the windows are configured to align with the slots in the two short sidewalls of the box to improve a precooling process of strawberries.
Automated Cup Lid Assembly
An automated cup lid assembly includes a lid that is positionable on a beverage cup for closing the beverage cup. The lid has a drinking aperture extending therethrough for drinking. A closure is slidably coupled to the lid and the closure is positionable between an open position and a closed position. The closure covers the drinking aperture when the closure is in the closed position and the drinking aperture is exposed when the closure is in the open position. A motion unit is integrated into the lid and the motion unit is in mechanical communication with the closure. The motion unit urges the closure into the open position when the motion unit senses that the beverage cup is near a user's mouth. Additionally, the motion unit urges the closure into the closed position when the motion unit no longer senses that the beverage cup is near the user's mouth.
Portable container kit with insulated container and lid
A storage container kit with an insulated bowl and lid. Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a storage container kit comprising a first container having insulated walls, a first lid having an insulated portion extending between an upper surface and a lower surface of the first lid and configured to establish a pressurized seal with the first container, a second container configured to be housed within an interior portion of the first container, and a second lid configured to be removably coupled to an upper circumference of the second container. In some embodiments, the first lid is configured to be selectively interfaced with the first container to create a pressurized seal between a gasket, inner side walls of the first container, and a plug being removably coupled to a pressure release aperture in the first lid.
Container and lid
An insulated container having a canister can be sealed by a lid structure. The lid structure can be a multi-part insulated lid. The lid can include a vent configured to vent air from inside the canister. In addition, the container may be part of a container kit or container system where one or more inner containers, are nested and secured within the insulated container.
Caps for Catheter Packages
A package for a medical device such as an intermittent catheter has a case which is closed at one end and open at the other end. A cap is connected to the case by a hinge to permit selectable movement of the cap between an open position, wherein access is provided to the open end of the case, and a closed position, wherein the cap prevents access to the open end of the case. A seal is connected to one of the cap and case. The seal is engageable with the other of the cap and case when the cap is closed to form a barrier that maintains a sterile environment inside the package. The seal can be repeatedly made and broken whenever the user closes or opens the cap, respectively. One of the case and cap has a latch and the other has a receptacle for receiving the latch to releasably retain the cap in a closed position. The latches fit into the receptacle to prevent lateral forces from distorting the cap when the cap is closed. A locking slide may be used to lock the cap to the case.
DOUBLE-WALLED BEVERAGE CONTAINER AND METHOD OF USING SAME
A container having fluid container inner body positioned within an outer body having a lower end wall with an aperture. An interior chamber is formed between sidewalls of the inner and outer bodies. A flexible and resilient stopper removably positionable in the aperture in fluid-tight sealing engagement with the end wall. A stiffening member is removably positionable within a cavity of the stopper after the stopper is positioned in the aperture to provide rigidity to the stopper to resist bending of the stopper and thereby resists unintentional dislodgement of the stopper from the aperture without first removing the stiffening member from the stopper.
Cups and Containers with a Living Hinge and Sleeves
The present invention is directed to containers for holding non-food items having a living hinge and a quad or multi seal structure on the lid such that the seal created by the contact of the lid with the inside of the cup or container ensures a secure, friction fit orientation to prevent spillage or leakage of the contents therein. The quad or multi directional seal is created by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within the base of the container and indentations oriented in the bases, or by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within a channel structure in the top of the base of the container, the channel structure having the indentations in order to create a secure fit.
COMPOSITE CONTAINER AND METHOD TO MANUFACTURE COMPOSITE CONTAINER
A composite container includes a barrel, a bottom cover, and a top cover. The barrel is formed by thermoforming of a rolled-up first plate composed of laminated prepregs. The bottom cover is formed by thermoforming of a second plate composed of laminated prepregs. The top cover is formed by thermoforming of a third plate composed of laminated prepregs. The bottom cover includes a first bottom and a first flange. The top cover includes a second bottom and a second flange. The second bottom is formed with a through hole. The bottom cover and the top cover are arranged at two ends of the barrel respectively, and the first flange and the second flange are positioned to the peripheral wall of the barrel by thermoforming.
DOUBLE-WALLED, SLIP FIT COOLER
A double-walled, slip fit disposable cooler can include: (1) a body having an inner liner disposed within an outer shell wherein the inner liner is removable from the outer shell, each of the inner liner and the outer shell include a base and a plurality of support walls coupled to the base, the plurality of support walls and the base defining an interior cavity, and the plurality of support walls extending upwardly from the base to form an opening at an upper terminus of the respective inner liner and outer shell; and (2) a lid configured to reversibly couple with the body, the lid shaped to cover the opening of the inner liner. The inner liner, outer shell, and the lid can be made entirely of a compostable, recyclable, and/or biodegradable material. An air gap may be formed between the inner liner and the outer shell is certain embodiments.
