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 liquid container includes a cup having a brim forming an opening into an interior region of the cup. The container also includes a lid configured to mount on the brim of the cup to close the opening.

The present invention relates to a method, device and apparatus for preparing a beverage with a liquid immersible bag with a desired steep time. The measurement and indication of the steep time of a beverage packaged in a disposable immersible bag is accomplished with the use of chromatography paper and color indicators. The proper combination of type, thickness, size and shape of chromatography paper used allows for the pre-setting of different desired steep times. Chromatography paper becomes translucent when wet and attached colors become visible to indicate the progress and the completion of the desired steep time.

A lid-to-container locking combination maximizes lid-to-container retention and includes a container and a container lid. The container includes an upper container rim and a container wall. The container wall includes a radially outwardly extending indentation or groove located in inferior adjacency to the upper container rim at an inner surface thereof. The container lid includes a rim-receiving groove, a lid wall, and a wall-to-groove resilient portion. The resilient portion traverses a structural distance between the lid wall and the rim-receiving groove and is resiliently actuable intermediate a relaxed configuration and an actuated configuration. The resilient portion includes a radially outer indentation-engaging portion. The rim-receiving groove receives the upper container rim, and the indentation-engaging portion engages the radially outwardly extending indentation when in the actuated configuration. The rim-receiving groove and radially outer the indentation-engaging portion together lock the container lid to the liquid container for cooperatively maximizing lid-to-container retention.

The present invention is directed to a can lid that is child resistant, and at the same time senior friendly, and can be initially installed on a can to be removed by an adult, especially a senior adult, and be put back on the can in the same condition where a child could still not be able to easily remove it. The child resistant and senior friendly can lid provided has a replaceable can lid and a locking member, such that when a can is initially opened, it may be readily resealed. The child resistant and senior friendly can lid has tapered, smooth sides to make the lid difficult to grasp and a sealing ledge on the inside surface to grab the seam roll of the upper edge of the can. The lid sealing ledge is relieved in two areas ninety degrees apart leaving a ridge to maintain a seal when the lid is attached to a can. The can lid will be flexible enough to bend for removal by seniors but resistant to removal by children.

A paper lid for a container includes a body portion, a top lid portion having an outer periphery surrounded by the body portion, and an engaging portion in the body portion that includes a tapered portion tapering in the same direction as the container taper and engages with the container curl portion. The body portion has a first end portion for mounting on the container and an opposite second end portion. The outer periphery is bent toward the first end portion, and has a bent portion bonded to the body portion. A part other than the outer periphery is between the engaging portion and the second end portion. An inner diameter of a tip of the tapered portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the container curl portion. Where the lid closes the container opening, the container curl portion contacts an inner part of the tapered portion.

The current invention relates to a lid for a cup which protects the contents of the cup and the drinking hole from contaminants. In some embodiments the lid for a cup includes a base and a cover connected to the base which rotates around the base. In this way the cover protects the drinking hole when closed, but can rotate open to allow the user to access the drinking hole and the contents of the cup. In some embodiments the cover is further equipped with a stopper which fits into the drinking hole and helps secure the cover in a closed position. In other embodiments the base is further equipped with a ramp leading up to the drinking hole which guides the cover to the drinking hole and locks the stopper within the hole. In other embodiments a protective layer is provided over the base which is removed before use.

A lid and a combination of a tub and the lid, the lid comprising a web and a circumferential skirt depending thereon; wherein the skirt comprises at least one tab, a first retention tooth and a second retention tooth, the first retention tooth being molded on an inner surface of the tab; and wherein for positioning the lid in a first closed position on the tub, the first and the second retention teeth are engaged under a top lip of the tub by applying a pressure on the lid; when first opening the tub once the lid is in the first closed position, the tab is broken free from the skirt into a position of the tab in which the tab remains pivotably attached to the skirt, and the tab is pulled, causing disengagement of the first retention tooth from under the top lip of the tub, the second retention tooth acting as a pivoting axis for the lid.

A abutting-typed paper cover includes a cover body, a reinforced guide portion, and a buckling portion. The cover body includes a flat face and a cover rim. The reinforced guide portion is disposed on the cover rim and wraps on three outer side walls of the cover rim. The buckling portion extends from the reinforced guide portion and an extending direction of the buckling portion is opposite to that of the cover rim. On a section taken along a vertical line perpendicular to a plane where the flat face is located the buckling portion includes an arc-shaped section. One end of the arc-shaped section is abutted against the flat face. When the abutting-typed paper cover is covered on a container, a curling rim of the container will abutt against the flat face and the arc-shaped section. The abutting-typed paper cover can be fixed on the container 20 and it will not fall off without external force, and it can form a better seal with the container so that the liquid in the container will not leak out.
