A lid releasably connects to the rim of a container, such as a soda can or a disposable cup, and functions with the container as an effective insect trap. In operation, the lid is attached to the top of the container with a funnel positioned over and extending towards the topside of the container such that an insect attracted to sugars within the can may crawl or fly from the surrounding space into the funnel and enter the container through the bottom of the funnel and thereby become trapped in the container. The sidewall of the lid can have multiple tiers that fit different sized cans or cups or can have a single tier. Regardless of the number of tiers in the sidewall, the sidewall's riser portion that fits over the container's rim is vertical and its interior surface does not have any concavity so no water-tight seal is formed.

An animal resistant container system is contemplated in which two separate storage volumes, each including its own connector portion that defines the opening into the interior of that storage volume, may be simultaneously connected to opposed interconnector portions of a single interconnector, with the interconnector including a cross-sectional structure that may serve to at least partially occlude the opening into the interior of either or both storage volume when that storage volume is connected to the interconnector. In this fashion, two separate interior volumes may be utilized in a modular way, which permits the simultaneous use of different types or sizes of storage volumes with a single interconnector portion.

A universal attachment for connecting to a first device having a threaded portion and allowing for attachment of a second, different device to the first device where the first and second devices do not have compatible threaded portions for connection is described herein. The universal attachment is directed to consumers wanting to attach an external device to a threaded neck of an existing device without needing to match the thread shape, size, or dimensions of the original device.

A fitting for affixing to a mouth of a receiving container comprises a tubular body having a closed top end, a bottom end and a side wall extending between the closed top and bottom ends and having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface includes a circumferential surface wherein the circumferential surface includes a plurality of inwardly extending, randomly placed nodes to engage an external surface of the mouth of the receiving container. A plug seal extending from the closed top end is spaced apart from circumferential surface to form a land area seal. The closed top end may further include an aperture adapted to permit passage of a straw therethrough.

A pourable jar lid designed to removably engage with a jar, such as a mason jar, may include a lid body having a top surface and a lid lip extending away from the top surface, the lid lip having interior body threads thereon, wherein the interior body threads are designed to removably engage with threads on a neck of the jar; a pour spout extending upward from the top surface of the lid body, the pour spout including a raised wall defining a channel extending through the lid body, wherein an inner surface of pour spout has spout threads; and a pour spout cap hingeably attached to the top surface of the lid body, the pour spout cap including cap threads designed to removably engage with the spout threads, wherein the spout threads may have a thread gap therein.

A recloseable lid for closing an open top of a cup terminating in an annular upper edge includes a cup mount defining an annular channel configured to receive the annular upper edge of the cup and a cap having an annular side wall extending upwardly from the cup mount and terminating in a top having an annular floor spaced above the cup mount. A drink opening is disposed in the top and a plug assembly having a drink opening plug is provided. The drink opening plug can be selectively moveable between a closed position in which the drink opening plug is received within the drink opening for closing the drink opening and an open position in which the drink opening plug is not disposed within the drink opening. The lid can also include a plug retainer disposed in the cap and configured to retain the drink opening plug in the open position.

A cap can be configured to engage with cosmetic application devices (also referred to as “applicators” or “cosmetic implements”) of various sizes. The cap may include a rigid housing and a flexible body within the rigid housing comprised of elastic material. The flexible body includes a cavity that extends from an opening in the proximal end portion toward the distal end portion of the cap and varies in diameter along its length. The cap may receive an application segment of an applicator through the opening, and the inner surface of the cap can apply pressure to a surface of the applicator to form a seal between the applicator and the cap. The seal between the applicator and the cap protects the application segment from dust and debris and prevents fluid in the applicator segment from drying or hardening.

A receptacle includes a receptacle body including a space in which first contents is held and a coupling portion having an inlet, a receptacle stopper coupled to the coupling portion of the receptacle body, and a second contents holding portion including a holding part having an open upper part and holding second contents, a support portion located to surround the holding part to support the holding part, and a mounting portion connected to the support portion and coupled to an upper end of the coupling portion. The receptacle stopper includes: a cap portion, a protrusion located on an inner side surface of the cap portion and including first and second protrusion parts located to be spaced apart from an upper end of the cap portion by different distances, and a sealing portion located between an inner upper surface of the cap portion and the protrusion and sealing the holding part.

A universal capping system to implement in any bottle-coupling part to sealingly cap over bottle openings of various sizes. Such bottle-coupling part can be a douche nozzle, a liquor pour spout, an olive oil pour spout, and just a bottle closing cap. This universal capping system has a cap top and a downward-extending resilient circular seal.
