A canister including a lid and storage canister. The lid incorporates a gasket that is overmolded onto the lid during its manufacture. The gasket is exposed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the lid in order to provide a non-slip surface at the top portion of the lid and a sealing surface at the bottom of the lid for sealing a storage canister.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a closure, the closure having an upper portion with a handle that has a circular curvature equal to the cylindrical portion of the closure. The closure may also have a lower portion that is joined to the upper portion by an injection molded polymer element. The closure may also be in the form of “flip” type of closure such that the lid can be selectably opened or closed by the user by rotating a flip closure into either the opened or closed position. The closure may also be a two-part lid having a lower cap that may be configured to be removably-coupled to the container and an upper cap that may be configured to be removably-coupled to the lower cap.

The present disclosure is related to jars and containers and, more particularly, to the manufacture of readily recyclable jars and containers.

An exemplary jar is comprised of an aluminum base and a first aluminum inner cup provided with a first cavity defined with the aluminum base. An outer thread is provided about an exterior surface of the aluminum base, and an aluminum lid with a second aluminum inner cup is provided within a second cavity defined within the aluminum lid. An inner thread mateable with the outer thread is provided about an interior surface of the second aluminum inner cup.

A method of manufacturing readily recyclable jars can comprise providing a primary metal material and optionally applying a precoating to the primary metal material. The primary metal material may be formed into a jar with mating threads and a lid with mating threads. The primary metal material may optionally be finished. A liner may optionally be inserted. The lid and jar are then assembled, and a plastic cup may optionally be installed.

A lid for a container, such as a beverage cup, is provided. The lid includes a top wall for covering an opening of the container. The top wall may include an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer may include a first perforation line defining an openable sip hole area. The outer layer may be connected to the inner layer at the openable sip hole area. The outer layer may include a tearing off area that may be torn off and result in the opening of the first perforation line to create a sip hole in the inner layer.

A rimless lid (10, 97, 99) for a container, the rimless lid comprising: a cover member having an outer side (1) and an inner side (3) and a peripheral edge (5); and a reinforcing arrangement comprising one or more reinforcing members (30, 140, 530, 540, 630, 640) located at the inner side (3) of the cover member; wherein at least one of the peripheral edge (5) of the cover member or the one or more reinforcing members (30, 140, 530, 540, 630, 640) is/are configured to frictionally engage an internal wall of the container when the lid is mounted thereto.

A fully automatic inductive sample-collecting bucket capable of storing sample information includes a bucket, and a bucket cover snap-fitted to an upper end of the bucket. A bucket cover cavity is formed in the bucket cover. A locking mechanism, and a control mechanism for driving the locking mechanism to act are integrated in the bucket cover cavity. An integrated circuit (IC) card inductive control assembly is integrated in the bucket cover. The bucket is provided with a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip. The IC card inductive control assembly is configured to identify IC card unlocking information of an external grip for cover opening work and to drive the control mechanism to work to control an action of the locking mechanism. The sample-collecting bucket integrates an RFID card capable of carrying sample coding information, and can realize the automatic cover-sealing and cover-opening function under the identification and control of the controller.

A closure assembly (100) for a container (200) is provided. The closure assembly (100) includes a frame (105) configured to couple to a container (200); an interior lid hingedly coupled to the frame (105) along a first longitudinal side thereof and movable between a closed position and an open position, wherein the lid (110) includes a lid rim that defines an opening, a flexible membrane (300) housed within the opening of the lid rim, wherein the flexible membrane (300) defines a zone configured to permit a plurality of articles to feed therethrough, and a tab member (120) fixedly coupled to the lid rim and extending above the membrane (300), wherein the tab member (120) defines a channel groove (125) configured to receive a leading article of the plurality of articles therein and separate the leading article from the plurality of articles. The assembly further includes a cover panel (150) hingedly coupled to the frame (105) along the first longitudinal side thereof and movable between an assembly closed position and an assembly open position.

A lid for a container holding a flowable contents comprising a first section brim mount member, unitarily molded and reversibly securely sealed onto an upper end rim of a container forming a raised ring-shaped crown portion with two opposing drinking access ports, circumscribing a second elevated recessed planar region forming a recessed centrally configured hatch opening in the top wall. A second section hatch cover member is unitarily molded, sized and shaped to concentrically fit over, and reversibly securely seal the recessed hatch opening in a co-planar configuration. The hatch cover member is securely and reversibly joined in a non-permanent manner to the top wall of the brim mount member via a ball and socket-type hinge pivoting the hatch cover member quickly and reliably about an axis line parallel to the top wall of the brim mount member rotatably between a closed position and an opened position.

A lid may be attached to the lip of a cup having a lip and restrict out-flow of liquid from the cup. The lid may provide a top surface, an annular wall extending down from the top surface, and an annular groove below the annular wall. The top surface may include a rim portion around a central depression, defining a drink hole and, within the lid, an edge channel communicating with the drink hole. The lid may include an arcuate barrier under the edge channel, formed either separately or integrally with the other structure of the lid, providing two inlets to a closed conduit portion of the edge channel.

A collapsible crate or container movable between an erect configuration and a collapsed configuration, has a crate member having an upper peripheral rim, a bottom member, two hinged and collapsible opposing side walls and two hinged end walls that collectively define an interior volume when the crate member is in the erect configuration, and a lid member with first and second lid portions and a hinge that releasably couples the first and second lid portions. The crate member and the lid member also includes latch member to releasably latch the lid member to the crate member in a use/deployed position and a stowed position.
