Various embodiments of a thin-walled metal container, such as a cup are described. The thin-walled metal cup includes a body with a tightly curled lip at the top end of the cup. The body includes a plurality of sections such that the diameter of the cup may be different at different places along the height of the cup. The thin-walled metal cup is designed to be light weight with a shape configured to facilitate grasping or holding the body of the cup.

A retaining member for use with a vacuum-insulated vessel is described. The retaining member may include a body and a deformable member. The deformable member may have a first layer and a second layer extending from the first layer to a resilient end of the second layer. The resilient end of the second layer may define an opening of the second layer and the opening of the second layer may be aligned with a first aperture of the body and a second aperture of the body, to receive and securely hold a bottle such as a wine bottle within the opening, the first aperture, and the second aperture. The second layer may be resiliently flexible between a first position and a second position of a peripheral edge of the resilient end, to receive and retain bottles having various sizes.

There are provided a liquid vessel which is capable of being configured in a large size of prefabricated form, and a method for producing a glass product. A liquid vessel for holding a liquid, comprising at least a first member, a second member and a third member; and a first engageable portion and a second engageable portion being configured such that the first member and the second member are brought into contact with each other to be engaged, and a third engageable portion being configured such that the third member is brought into contact with the first member and the second member in a direction intersecting an engagement direction of the first member and the second member to be engaged with the first member and the second member.

Provided are a cup made of metal and a method of manufacturing the same capable of reducing material costs and molding costs, preventing deformation while reducing weight, preventing a user's mouth or hand from touching an edge of a metal material, and preventing hygiene problems. A cup made of metal open on an upper surface side includes a bottom portion and a body portion, the cup including a curled portion at the tip end on an upper opening side of the body portion. The curled portion includes a curvature region from the body portion toward the tip end, and a section at least from the body portion to a lowermost portion of the curled portion in the curvature region has a radius of curvature that decreases stepwise or continuously.

A method of manufacturing a container made of metal, including a bottom portion and a body portion, being open on an upper face side, and having a shape in which the body portion expands outward toward the upper face side. The method includes a stretch forming step of expanding a diameter of a stepped cup body made of metal by operating a diameter expanding punch having a tapered pressing portion that is smaller in diameter than an inner diameter of the large-diameter cylindrical portion and larger in diameter than an inner diameter of the small-diameter cylindrical portion of the stepped cup body along a cylindrical axis direction from an opening side of the large-diameter cylindrical portion, in which the stretch forming step is performed at least once.

Container (1) comprising a substantially tubular metal container body (2) having a top opening defined by an outwardly curled edge, and a bottom opening. The container further comprises a peelable lid (9) bonded to an upper surface of said curled edge to close said top opening in an airtight manner, the outermost edge of the peelable lid not extending beyond an outermost extent of said curled edge, and a metal closure (4) comprising a generally planar centre panel (8) and a downwardly extending sidewall (7) depending from a peripheral region of the centre panel and terminating with an inwardly or outwardly directed fold (12), and a plurality of features (5) pressed into the sidewall at respective circumferentially spaced locations between said peripheral region and the fold, wherein the radial inward extent of the features is greater than that of the fold. The closure and the container body have relative dimensions to allow the features to pass over said curled edge during closure and to be retained beneath the curled edge to resist removal of the closure.

A rigid container that may be used to store items. The container includes a first bowl and a second bowl. The first and second bowls both include center portions and at least one sidewall. The sidewalls are disposed about the peripheries of their respective center portions and oriented perpendicular to it. The sidewall(s) of the first bowl define an exterior profile and the sidewall(s) of the second bowl define an interior profile. The exterior profile and the interior profile are identical in shape but the interior profile is slightly larger so that the second bowl can be received over the first bowl.

A resealable beverage container having an upper portion disposed overtop the container end and a base seamed into the open end. The container end incudes an impermeable gasket member disposed exteriorly thereupon, overtop of which the upper portion is engaged. The upper portion is rotatable between an open position and a closed position to orient at least one opening from sealed engagement with the gasket member to superimpose over at least one corresponding opening in the container end. The container may therefore be closed after opening to store contents therein. The container is manufactured using a modification to standard industry practices as seen in the art whereby minimal retooling is required for industry adoption.

A device for collecting split wood, having a plurality of bar elements, which each have a first and a second longitudinal portion, and a plurality of connecting elements, which connect the bar elements movably to one another. The second longitudinal portion of each bar element extends in a curved manner and the first longitudinal portion extends in a straight manner. The connecting elements cooperate with the second longitudinal portions, and a clamping element, which cooperates with the first longitudinal portions, is designed to firmly clamp the bar elements to a chopping block by their first longitudinal portions.

A liquid storage tank includes a housing, a piston located in the housing, a cover, an elastic element, and an outlet pipe. The cover is attached to the housing and has a support post extending toward the piston. The piston, the housing, and the cover define a tank chamber. The tank chamber is filled with cooling liquid. The elastic element is connected with the tank hosing and the piston. The elastic element is free from contact with the cooling liquid. The outlet pipe communicates with the tank chamber. An extension direction of an opening of the outlet pipe is not parallel to a direction of movement of the elastic element. When the cooling liquid is decreased, the piston compressed the tank chamber such that the elastic element is released. The tank chamber is continuously compressed by pairing the elastic element and the piston.
