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.

The invention relates to a sealed container (1) comprising a flange (5, 6) that delimits a through-passage having an axial axis in the container, a door (7) movably mounted on the flange (5, 6), and a first annular seal (13) located between the flange (5, 6) and the door (7), the flange, the door and the first seal forming a sealed connection device that can be connected to a complementary connection device on a sterile enclosure by bayonet connection means in order to allow sterile communication between the sealed container and the sterile enclosure, characterized in that the container (1) includes a protective cover (20) on the connection device, said protective cover being forcibly clipped onto the container, and in that the container further includes contact pressure means arranged between the protective cover (20) and the connection device so as to apply contact pressure to the connection device in the axial direction proportional to the clipping force.

A lid assembly and a method for assembling the lid assembly. The lid assembly may include: an open-loop clamp band configured to secure the container lid to a container opening, the open-loop clamp band biased towards a closed position; and a closure assembly coupled to the open-loop clamp band. The closure assembly may include: a pair of lugs including a threaded lug and an unthreaded lug respectively affixed to opposing ends of the open-loop clamp band; a clamp bolt receivable by the pair of lugs, the clamp bolt having a bolt head to be positioned proximal the unthreaded lug; and a jam assembly for receiving the clamp bolt, the jam assembly securable at a calibrated position along the clamp bolt and between the pair of lugs.

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 structure for one-touch opening/closing of a cap and a container, which simplifies one-touch opening/closing structure, prevents the cap from being self-opened due to internal or external pressure of the container, and facilitates smooth opening of the cap, is provided. The structure includes: a container including an the inlet and an engaging ledge formed on an outer surface; and a cap including a sealing portion and a cover portion, the sealing portion including a hook formed thereon corresponding to the engaging ledge, and opening the inlet of the container while ascending and closing the inlet of the container while descending as the hook is put on the engaging ledge, the cover portion being formed as a barrel-shaped body for the sealing portion, whereby productivity and assemblability of a product are improved, convenience of use is improved, and product quality and market competitiveness are maximized.
