A storage container assembly includes a container and a lid. The lid includes a top lid, a button, a gasket, a gasket pusher, and an arm. The button is moveable in a first axial direction between a projected position in which a top surface of the button is offset from an upper surface of the lid and a depressed position in which the top surface of the button is nearer to the upper surface. The gasket is moveable between a contracted state and an expanded state. The gasket pusher is moveable in a second axial direction, which is transverse to the first axial direction, and pushes the gasket. The arm operatively connects the button with the gasket pusher. Movement of the button from the projected position toward the depressed position results in pivotal movement of the arm and moves the gasket pusher in the second axial direction.

A food container and its method of construction are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the food container includes a body and a lid assembly. The body has an interior space. The lid assembly lid assembly includes at least one slide part and a rotating part. The at least one slide part is configured to translate linearly when the rotating part is rotated by a user to cause the interior space to be sealed or unsealed.

A system and method for easily operated self-releasing stopper/cork for bottles of compressed liquids. The corks have a gas bladder that is designed to be inserted in a bottle and inflated, the bladder having a ribbed or smooth exterior to complete the sealing of the bottle whereby a gas release mechanism can be activated by depressing a button on a cap or via an on-board micro controller and/or electro-mechanical release solution in the cap. Once the gas is released from the top of the bladder the pressure inside the vessel will collapse the bladder’s bottom and eject the cork assembly from the bottle.

Various systems for the containment or delivery of a product are provided. The systems allow for the storage of products at low temperatures and include a container closure inserted into a container (10). The container closure may have an elastomeric body (12) and include a material (14) having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion. In other systems, the material having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion may be inserted between the elastomeric container closure and a seal. Other systems may include an insert at least partially embedded within the elastomeric body of a container closure, an actuator having a distal end movably attached to the insert, and a resilient element between the distal end of the actuator and the insert, wherein the resilient material expands radially upon displacing the distal end of the actuator toward the insert.

A tube set seal assembly including: a body configured for insertion into an opening of a container, a plurality of passages extending through the body, and an inflatable annular seal provided on the body. Wherein the body comprises an inflation channel in communication with the seal for supply of gas to the seal to cause the seal to inflate.
