A self retaining bottle stopper fixture assembly configured to seal and opening of a bottle and to preserve an oxygen sensitive substance under pressure therein and/or for sealing the bottle for transport or horizontal storage. The assembly generally includes an anchor member for inserting onto a neck of a bottle or other container, and a retainer member for covering the stopper and coupling to the anchor member to secure the stopper to the bottle.

A housing includes an upper housing member, a lower housing member, a first interlocking member, and a second interlocking member. The first interlocking member includes an engagement portion, and a first interlocking portion. The engagement portion is at a proximate end and is configured to engage a corresponding contact surface of the upper housing member. The first interlocking portion is at a distal end. The second member extends from the lower housing member into an inner volume of the upper housing member. The second interlocking member includes an opening and a second interlocking portion. The opening is positioned between a proximate end and a distal end of the second interlocking member. The window is configured to at least partially receive the first interlocking portion of the first interlocking member. The second interlocking portion is configured to engage a corresponding engagement portion of the upper housing member.

Provided is a reclosable container including an assembly of a bin and a separate cover that is designed to close and lock the bin.

The bin includes a bottom wall and a vertical side wall connected thereto, said side wall including an upper zone that surrounds an access opening of the bin.

The cover includes an upper surface that is dimensioned to cover the access opening of the bin. A perimeter of the upper surface is provided with a cover profile, said cover profile being formed complementary to the upper zone of the bin, so that the cover profile can be placed abutting on the upper zone of the bin in order to close the access opening of the bin.

Two opposite outer sides of the upper zone are each provided with a primary coupling body for locking the cover when the cover is placed in the closing position on the bin.

Two opposite outer sides of the cover profile are each provided with a side flap that is provided with a window that is designed to engage on the primary coupling body so that primary locking between cover and bin is achieved. The side flap is connected tiltably to the cover profile in such a way that the side flap can be placed in a locking position and in an unlocking position.

The invention relates to a centrifuge cup, which has a container and a cover. The cover has a lever including a guide element in each case on opposing edge areas thereof. The guide elements are able to be introduced into an associated guide path of the container by pivoting the lever. The guide elements are implemented in such a way that in a closed state of the cover with the container, a clamping force (F) having vertical force component (F.sub.y) and horizontal force component (F.sub.x) is provided at a contact point or a contact line of the guide elements with the particular associated guide path.

A reclosable elastomeric fastener and method for sealing storage and serving containers using same. The fastener consists of two complementary elastomeric profiles, having male and female interlocking elements, which extend around the periphery of the lid and container components of a storage receptacle. The reclosable fastener forms a water-resistant seal when the male and female elements of the complementary profiles are mutually occluded.

A locking device is provided, preferably for a container. The locking device keeps the lid of the container closed when the container is knocked over on its side, with a sudden jerking or jarring motion, such as by impact with the ground, to prevent spillage of its contents. The locking device, however, allows the lid to open when the waste container is tipped over, preferably in a forward direction, by a dumping operation.
