A drinking vessel may include a tumbler having an inner surface dimension, a first portion, and a second portion. The first portion may include a proximal surface having a first dimension and a first rim coupled to the proximal surface and having a second dimension, the first dimension being larger than the second dimension. The second portion may include a collar having an outer dimension substantially similar to the first dimension, an inner dimension substantially similar to the second dimension, and a second rim connected to the collar and having an outer dimension substantially similar to the second dimension and the inner surface dimension.

A paper lid that is mainly made of paper includes a top plate portion extending in a first direction, an inner fitting portion extending in a second direction and being continuous with the top plate portion, a peak portion extending in a third direction and being continuous with the inner fitting portion, an outer fitting portion extending in a fourth direction, facing the inner fitting portion at a distance, and being continuous with the peak portion, and a flange portion extending in a fifth direction, being continuous with the outer fitting portion, and including an end of the paper lid.

In a container having a lid member coupled to a container body by a hinge, the lid member includes a top surface, an inner ring formed on the top surface, and a projected part is formed on the top surface concentrically with the inner ring and which has an outer peripheral surface provided with an outer peripheral surface projection along the circumferential direction. The container body has a sidewall with a first inner peripheral surface having an inner peripheral surface projection formed along the circumferential direction, and a second inner peripheral surface having an inner diameter different from that of the first inner peripheral surface. When the lid member is closed, the inner ring seals the container body by being fitted to the second inner peripheral surface. The outer peripheral surface projection contacts and slides over the inner peripheral surface projection to lock the lid member the container body.

In a container having a lid member coupled to a container body by a hinge, the lid member has a top panel, and an inner ring formed on the top panel, the inner ring being fitted to an inner peripheral surface of a sidewall of the container body in a closed state to seal the container body. The inner ring has an outer peripheral surface on which an outer peripheral surface projection is formed along a circumferential direction, and the container body has an inner peripheral surface on which an inner peripheral surface projection is formed along the circumferential direction, in the vicinity of an end portion of the sidewall. When closing the lid member, the outer peripheral surface projection contacts and slides over the inner peripheral surface projection to cause the lid member to be locked to the container body, with the inner ring sealing the container body.

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.

A leak resistant lid assembly for a beverage container where the lid assembly has a straw or similar means for a user to drink liquid is disclosed. The lid assembly may include a base, a straw that extends through the base, a gasket, and a grommet. The base may have a primary opening that receives the straw and a secondary opening in the top of the base, where the secondary opening acts as a vent to prevent a vacuum from occurring when drinking from a straw. The grommet may have a spiral ring may help create a flow path for air from inside the beverage container to the exterior environment.

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.

According to one example, a removable lid for a container of a vessel includes a valve configured to selectively allow air to vent out of a fluid retaining interior region of the container when the lid is positioned on the container. The valve includes an opening that extends entirely through a thickness of a portion of the lid, and a valve plug. The valve plug includes a valve top portion that extends vertically above a top surface of the portion of the lid, a valve bottom portion, and a valve central portion. The valve top portion is configured to be contracted, by a downward pressure, into a more vertically compact shape. The valve top portion is further configured to, absent the downward pressure, expand back upwards out of the more vertically compact shape.

A variable volume evacuable container has a closed bottom, an open top, and a spirally threaded inner wall extending therebetween. A lid configured to threadably engage the inner wall has a top surface, a perimeter, a bottom surface, and a funneling volume within the perimeter and below the bottom surface. A duct is defined through the top and bottom surfaces at the apex of the funneling volume, and a moveable baffle is coupled to the top surface to cover or uncover the duct. The bottom surface slopes continuously upward to the apex so that downward rotation of the lid against contained liquid forces air out of the duct until the liquid fills the funneling volume, allowing the baffle to seal the liquid from air by covering the duct.

Beverage systems and kits and methods of using the same. A beverage system of the present disclosure includes a container configured to retain a beverage, the container having an outer wall and an internal threaded section above a non-threaded inner wall section; a threaded gasket having a threaded portion and an outer curved profile, the threaded portion configured to engage the internal threaded section of the container when coupled thereto; and a lid having an extension portion extending from a cover portion, the extension portion having a seal positioned thereon, the seal configured to engage the non-threaded inner wall section of the container when coupled thereto.
