Disclosed are a sealing structure for a packaging box, a production process for the sealing structure, and a packaging box. The sealing structure includes: a pull piece, an inner membrane, and a plug sheet, the pull piece covers an outer side of an opening in a packaging box, the inner membrane covers an inner side of the opening, an area of the pull piece and an area of the inner membrane are is both greater than that of the opening, and; the plug sheet matches a shape of the opening and corresponds to a position of the opening; the pull piece enables the inner membrane to be broken at the opening under an action of an external force, so as to open the opening; and the plug sheet is able to be embedded in the opening under an action of an external force, so as to close the opening.

Described herein is a beverage system that is configured to produce beverages having different characteristics, such as different levels of carbonation including producing substantially non-carbonated beverages and carbonated beverages with a single machine. The beverage system includes a beverage appliance and a beverage container. The beverage container includes a beverage material, which can include a flavoring ingredient for a target beverage. The beverage appliance is used to access the beverage material from the beverage container and produce the target beverage. The beverage appliance and beverage container are adaptable to produce the target beverage having any of a range of carbonation levels or other characteristics.

A beverage dispensing system comprises a container, an attachment mechanism, and a cartridge. The container may hold a mixing solution or liquid, such as water, to be mixed with the contents of the cartridge. The attachment mechanism is generally located within the container. The cartridge generally engages with the attachment mechanism to open the cartridge to be dispensed into the container, thereby combining the contents of the cartridge with the liquid within the container to create a drinkable beverage. The cartridge may include a unique identifier to track a set of beverage characteristics associated with the contents of the cartridge and the beverage. The container may capture the unique identifier of the cartridge associated with the set of beverage characteristics and transfer the set of beverage characteristics over a wireless network to a computing device or network.

A self-piercing closure (15) for a container of the type having a laminar closing member, the closure (15) comprising a closure body and having a piercing member (35) for piercing a closing member in use, in which the piercing member (35) comprises a depending skirt (36), and in which the closure further comprising a self-closing valve sub-assembly (50) having a retaining member which retains a self-closing valve, the sub-assembly being located within the piercing member, whereby flowable media can be dispensed from a container through the self-closing valve following piercing of the closing member in use.

A retaining device for retaining a self-closing valve in a closure is provided. The device comprises a body for receiving a self-closing valve and having a crimping flange capable of being bent from an uncrimped position to a crimped position to retain the valve in the device. The body is receivable into a closure with the valve retained. The crimping flange has a length generally within a range of 0.5 mm and 4.0 mm.

A closure with a push type opener and a device for automatically keeping slit sealing member inside the cloture. The closure includes a at an inlet of a container, a cutting region provided at the closure body and sealing the inlet of the container or the closure body as a hemispherical region descends by a pressing method, and a device having a function of keeping the slit sealing member therein. The sealing member can be easily by touching it by hand, and thus, a content of a container can be hygienically taken. In addition, content separately stored in the container and in the closure can be simply mixed for use.

The present invention proposes a topper for a container having an upper surface, the topper including: a body adapted to engage an upper surface of the container, and a movable perforation platform having at least one protruding perforating element, the perforation platform being pushable with respect to the body from a resting position to a working position wherein the perforating element perforates the upper surface of the container. wherein the perforation platform presents in a resting position a first orientation and presents in working position a second orientation, the first and the second orientation differing by an angle of less than 30.

The present invention also proposes an assembly, and a method of using the assembly.

Provided are a container cap coupled to the mouth of a container in which contents are contained; and a container to which the container cap is coupled. The container cap includes: a main body part coupled to a container inlet of a container and having an opening formed on an upper side thereof; a cover part connected to the main body part by a hinge part and opening and closing an upper opening of the main body part by hinge rotation; a separation part connected to the cover part by a first connection part and connected to the main body part by a second connection part detachably; and a fixing part formed on the cover part so that the separation part is fixedly coupled thereto after the second connection part is separated by a user's manipulation so that the cover part can be separated from the main body part.
