A stackable container lid includes a top surface defining a flat surface plane without an upward protrusion, at least one recess in the top surface, a bottom surface including a rib structure adjacent a perimeter, and at least one nest segment integrated with the rib structure and protruding from the rib structure. The container lid is readily stackable with other container lids and is suited for handling with automation equipment.

A rim assembly for a container comprises a frame member (346) having a perimeter corresponding in shape to an opening of a container such that, in use, the frame member is received within the opening and extends around an interior surface of a side wall of the container; a plurality of securing tabs (394) hingedly connected to the frame member (346), each tab (394) including an engagement member (396); sealing means configured for repeated sealing engagement with a lid of the container; and retaining means (399), wherein each of the securing tabs is movable between a first position in which the engagement member is disengaged from an aperture (317) in the container side wall and a second position in which the engagement member (396) is engaged with one of the apertures (317) in the side wall, and wherein the retaining means is configured to retain the securing tabs in the second position such that the rim assembly is secured to the container around a top edge of the side wall.

The present application describes a thin-walled single-serve perishable food container configured to be economically manufactured from metal and useable by a consumer in the existing single-serve metal container, for example, a disposable single-serve metal yogurt cup. The thin-walled container has a top flange coupled to a bottom with a cylindrical wall and a conical sidewall that extends inwardly from the top flange, such that a diameter of the bottom is less than a diameter of the top flange. The thin-walled container may house other foods, such as ground or pulverized organic or synthetic powdered mixtures or dried food. The container may also have a cover or lid that hermetically seals the contents.

A lid assembly includes a lid element having an annularly shaped peripheral portion configured to be axially aligned with and disposed between a rim of a canning container and a radially extending portion of a retainer element when the lid assembly is engaging the canning container and the retainer element is removably coupled to the canning container. An annularly shaped sealing element is disposed on the peripheral portion of the lid element and is configured to directly engage the rim of the canning container when the lid assembly is contacting the canning container. A plurality of projections is formed in the peripheral portion of the lid element with each of the projections forming a distally disposed surface of the peripheral portion with respect to an exterior axial direction of the lid element extending away from an interior of the canning container when the lid assembly is engaging the rim.

A beverage container is disclosed with a cap body having an upper straw with an incorporated valve that moves upward and downward to toggle between an open and closed position and a lower straw that is stationary within the cap body. Hermetic seals are formed between the straw bodies and cap body that allow the proper operation of a straw that opens, allowing fluid to flow through the straw bodies, and closes, stopping the flow of fluid through the straw bodies.

The Utility Model discloses a reinforced sealing barrel cover, comprising a flip barrel cover and a cover body, a clamping strip is extruded around the inner wall of the cover body, a sealing strip is set around the inner side of the cover body and above the clamping strip, and when the cover body and the barrel rim are pressed together, the sealing strip is tightly attached to the outer side of the barrel rim. The reinforced sealing barrel cover in this application can realize the sealing of the barrel cover and the barrel body under the condition of maintaining the structural advantages of the existing barrel cover and the barrel body.

A container suitable for receiving, storing and disposing of food scraps and waste comprises a bowl with matching lid. The lid, embodiments of which are planar, has two tabs that may be bent perpendicularly to engage corresponding slots in the bowl. The bowl has an annular expansion to receive and further retain the circumference of the lid. Embodiments fashion the tabs so that, when the lid is in place with the tabs protruding through the slots in the bowl, the tabs may be further bent upright around the rim of the bowl, further to secure the lid and retain material within the container.

A cup with hole apparatus and method comprising the parts and the steps to create a beverage cup that is inexpensive to purchase, ship, and use within a standard restaurant. One of these parts is a container that, when not assembled with other parts, cannot contain liquid due to multiple openings of different sizes. At least one of these openings is relatively smaller than the rest, and is only suitable to be used for drinking purposes. The other relatively larger openings can be used for filling purposes. A single-use beverage cup is created when: 1. A removable part is used to plug the relatively smaller opening; 2. The resulting container is filled via one of the relatively larger openings; 3. Once filled, permanent parts are used to plug all of the unplugged openings; 4. A drinker dislodges the removable part to drink from the smaller opening; and 5. Refilling the cup via the unplugged smaller opening is difficult.

Disclosed is a device for protecting and preserving a substance in a container. The device may include a plurality of overlapping sectors capable of rotating about a pivot point such that the device has a substantially disc shape when fully expanded and a substantially pie shape when partially expanded; and a lip defining an outer diameter of the device when fully expanded. The outer diameter of the device is equal to or greater than an inner diameter of the inner surface of the container.

A packaged food product for being heated in an oven or heater includes a container with a food and a lid. The container includes an inwards raised bead at the inner wall of the container near the opening end of the container. The lid includes a recess designed to engage with the raised bead at the inner wall of the container in such a way as to snap-close the container. The food is located in the container.
