The invention relates to a lid for closing a container, preferably a cup, the lid being made from a paper- or a cardboard-material, wherein the lid comprises a topwall which covers the opening of the container and a sidewall directed at an angle relative to the topwall, wherein one end of the sidewall can engage sealingly with the top end of the container. The present invention further relates to a set comprising a lid and a container.

A lid having an excellent sealability of an opening part of a container is for attaching to an opening part of a container in a removable manner, characterized in including a cover wall and a side wall which surrounds the circumference of the cover wall, which is tapered from an upper end towards an lower end and which is made of a paper material, wherein the cover wall and the side wall are integrated with each other by a standing part formed on the circumference of the cover wall being joined to an inner surface of an upper wall of the side wall, wherein an engaging part for engaging with the opening part of the container is provided on an inner circumferential side of a lower wall of the side wall.

A lid for a container. The lid comprises a central wall and a dispenser comprising a dispenser flap hingedly connected to the central wall and moveable between a closed configuration and an open configuration at least partially exposing a dispenser opening in the central wall. The dispenser further can include a projection extending from the dispenser flap. The lid further comprises a locking feature for maintaining the dispenser in the open configuration. The locking feature can comprise a locking recess in the central wall for at least partially receiving the projection. The dispenser opening can be located on a centerline of the lid, and the locking recess can be spaced away from the centerline of the lid.

A beverage container lid assembly and insert enable a user to selectively control contained beverage movements when outfitted upon a beverage container. The lid assemblies include a primary lid form having a primary beverage outlet and a circular transverse cross-section and a secondary lid attachment cooperably engaged with the primary lid form for providing certain beverage flow diversion structure. The secondary lid attachment is rotatable relative to the primary lid form about a lid axis of rotation. The lid assembly may be attached to a beverage container such that the user may manually rotate the secondary lid attachment relative to the primary lid form for manually and selectively positioning the beverage flow diversion structure relative to the primary beverage outlet. The container insert includes a container-engaging first portion and a beverage-damping second portion. The second portion extends inwardly relative to the first portion for deflecting upwardly directed beverage.

A method of making a container having a separable inner lining and outer shell comprises the steps of: forming an outer shell having a base, a sidewall and a rim surrounding an opening of the shell; preforming a flexible lining, at least a part of the lining conforming to a complete internal shape of the shell; inserting the pre-formed lining into the shell so that a first part of the lining is within the shell and a second part of the lining protrudes from the opening of the shell; adhering the first part to an internal surface of the shell; conforming the second part to an external surface of the shell; and attaching to the lining around said rim a sealing layer covering the opening, the sealing layer being peelable from the lining such that the lining remains intact, and the adhesion between the lining and the internal surface of the shell being such that the lining is peelable from the shell while remaining intact.

A method of making a container (2, 30) having a separable inner lining (6) and outer shell (4) comprises the steps of: forming an outer shell; pre-forming a flexible lining, at least a part of the lining conforming to a complete internal shape of the shell; inserting the preformed lining into the shell so that a first part of the lining is within the shell and a second part of the lining protrudes from the opening of the shell; adhering the first part to an internal surface (8) of the shell; conforming the second part to an external surface of the shell; and attaching to the lining around said rim a sealing layer covering the opening, and the adhesion between the lining and the internal surface of the shell being such that the lining is peelable from the shell while remaining intact.

The present invention relates to a pail body having a pail end defining a pail opening, a lid closing the pail opening, and a clamping ring clamping the lid onto the pail end, wherein the clamping ring comprises a lever connected to the ends of a split clamping ring, which lever in a closed position clamps the split clamping ring onto the pail end, and in an open position widens the ring, and spring means connecting the lever to at least one of the ring ends, to the clamping ring, and a method for applying the clamping ring to a pail body.

An injection molded lid (100) for use with a container, which includes a lid body (110) and a securing member (150). The lid body (110) includes a cover portion (120) and a flange portion(130). One side wall (134) of the flange portion has one or more notches (138). The securing member (150) includes a frame (152) and at least one tab (154). The tab (154) covers the notch. The securing member (150) provides extra fastening strength that prevents the spillage or leakage of the content within the container.

A drink-through lid with spill resistant tab for use on a beverage container. The lid provides a drink outlet that allows liquid to fill a drink well base, from which a consumer may sip a beverage similar to using a cup. The lid is provided with a spill resistant tab. The tab may include a blade portion which fits through a slit in the drink-through lid. The blade extends outward to a distal blade edge adjacent an interior wall of the beverage container. The blade has a width W.sub.2 as wide or wider than the effective outlet width W.sub.1 of the drink outlet. The lid may be provided with a generally V-shaped groove having a slit at the bottom thereof for passage of the blade therethrough. In an embodiment, the tab may include a Z-shaped connector portion sized and shaped for interlocking mating engagement with the V-shaped grove.

A paper cup of a dual structure according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: an inner paper part having a plurality of diameter adjusting portions formed at predetermined angle intervals on one surface; a drink receiving part formed extending from one end of the inner paper part and bending formed into the inner portion of the inner paper part; and a drinking part formed at a boundary between the inner paper part and the drink receiving part and curled in a radially outward direction of the drink receiving part.
