The lid (56, 56A, 56B) has a biased hinge (104, 104A, 104B) connecting the cover portion (100, 100A, 100B) with the press portion (96, 96A, 96B) to accommodate movement of the cover portion (100, 100A, 100B) between the latched closed position and an unlatched open position.
Container with cap opening feature
Containers comprise a container body and a cap, wherein the cap comprises a surface feature configured to accommodate engagement with a member to provide desired increased leverage to a user to aid loosening and/or removing the cap from the container. The surface feature may be an opening or any other surface feature, and the member may be another container having a cap or container body having a surface feature configured to complement and fit the surface feature of the cap, forming an interlocking attachment therewith. Both containers may be configured identically, each having surface features that complement one another, thereby forming a system made up of such two containers for loosening/removing the caps of one another. The caps each may include an opening and a section sized to fit in the opening so that the section of one cap fits in the opening of the other cap.
STORAGE CONTAINER PROVIDED WITH LID
The present invention relates to a storage container comprising a container body (18), a lid (16) placed on the container body, and an actuation apparatus configured to actuate the lid (16) to move between a closed position where the container is in the closed state and a release position where the container is in the ready to open state. One or more body cam surfaces (1852) are arranged on an outer surface of a side wall of the container body (18), and one or more lid cam surfaces (1642) are arranged on an inner surface of a neck portion of the lid in such a manner that the body cam surfaces (1852) are configured to oppose the corresponding lid cam surfaces (1642). The lid (16) is locked in the closed position by moving the lid in a first direction so as to bring the lid cam surfaces (1642) to abut on and engage with the body cam surfaces (1852), and the lid is moved to the release position by moving the lid in a second direction so as to disengage the lid cam surfaces (1642) from the body cam surfaces (1852). The mechanism for opening and closing the storage container is easy to manufacture, and simple and effortless to operate.
CLOSURE FOR A CONTAINER
A closure (40, 40A, 40B) for use with a container includes a body (54, 54A, 54B) defining a passage (72, 72A, 72B) and a first latch portion (92, 92B). The closure (40, 40A, 40B) has a lid (56, 56A, 56B) defining a deflectable press portion (96, 96A, 96B) that has a connection (100, 100A, 100B) to the closure body (54, 54A, 54B). The lid (56, 56A, 56B) has a cover portion (100, 100A, 100B) including a second latch portion (120, 120A, 120B) for engaging the first latch portion (92, 92B) to releasably hold the cover portion (100, 100A, 100B) in a latched closed position in which the cover portion (100, 100A, 100B) at least partially occludes the passage (72, 72A, 72B). The lid (56, 56A, 56B) has a biased hinge (104, 104A, 104B) connecting the cover portion (100, 100A, 100B) with the press portion (96, 96A, 96B) to accommodate movement of the cover portion (100, 100A, 100B) between the latched closed position and an unlatched open position.
COVER, AND BEVERAGE CONTAINER COMPRISING SAME
A lid body that is attachable to a beverage container main body is provided. The lid body includes a lid main body, a first seal portion, a second seal portion, and a plug. The lid main body is detachably fixed to a beverage container main body. The lid main body includes an inner surface and a circumferential edge portion that defines a spout for pouring a beverage. The first seal portion is formed integrally with the inner surface. The second seal portion is formed integrally with the first seal portion and formed using the same material as a material of the first seal portion, and is formed integrally with the circumferential edge portion.

Closure device for a screw top vessel
A closure device includes a stopper assembly that provides swing-top closure of a vessel, plus an adaptor so the device can be used with screw-top vessels. The stopper assembly is connected to the adaptor by two connected wires: a bail wire that connects to the stopper assembly, and a lever wire that connects to the adaptor. The inner circumference of the adaptor defines a plurality of vessel threads that engage with the threads defined by the neck of a screw-top vessel. The lever wire is readily removable from the adaptor in order to secure the protruding portions of the lever wire beneath the stop ring of the vessel.
LID ASSEMBLY HAVING A SEAL MECHANISM FOR A CONTAINER
A lid assembly for a container. The lid assembly has a lid body, a flap, a seal and a button. The lid body has a lid opening. The flap is pivotally connected to the lid body and pivots away between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position the flap closes the lid opening. In the open position the lid opening is open and a cavity of the container is accessible therethrough. The seal is connected to one of the lid body or the flap to seal the opening when the flap is in the closed position. The button is pivotally connected to the lid body and pivots between an actuated and an unactuated position. When the button is moved to the actuated position the flap moves to the open position.
