Abstract: Various enhancements of tabbed seals are provided herein with enhanced grasping functionality. Such enhancements include an oversized tab structure for increasing the overall surface area of the tab. In some forms, the tab has been configured such that the overall gripping tab is larger, but a portion thereof is temporarily adhered to the lower laminate, such as during seal and/or cap installation. Instead, the gripping tab includes a small free portion and then a second, temporarily bonded portion that can either release or rupture, permitting the overall grippable portion of the tab to be large.

Abstract: Various enhancements of tabbed seals are provided herein with enhanced grasping functionality. Such enhancements include an anti-slip coating, a polymer adhesive layer, embossing, increasing the thickness of the tab, and/or increasing the overall surface area of the tab.

Abstract: A paperboard packaging container includes a sealing arrangement comprising a lid and a sealing rim. The packaging container further includes a circumferential lid sealing member applied in the lid. The sealing rim forms a closed loop extending around the container opening. The sealing rim further comprises a first sealing surface arranged at an upper end edge of the sealing rim and is arranged to seal against a second sealing surface constituted by the circumferential lid sealing member when the lid is in a closed position. The sealing arrangement furthermore includes a frame structure forming a closed loop extending around a periphery of the container opening and is connected to the sealing rim. The lid is connected to the frame structure by a hinge member and a locking arrangement.

Abstract: The present application generally relates to devices and methods for transporting items, and it more specifically relates to insulated carriers for use in carrying temperature-controlled items such as beverages and food.

Abstract: A container lid can include: a body having an opening formed therethrough; a sipping member rotatably coupled to the body, a passageway formed through an interior of the sipping member so as to extend from a proximal end of the sipping member to a distal end of the sipping member, the sipping member configured to rotate between a stowed position in which the passageway and the opening are misaligned, such that the opening is sealed, and a released position in which the passageway and the opening are aligned; and a flexible handle connected at a first end to the sipping member and rotatably coupled at a second end to the body via a pivot pin. The handle can be configured such that a substantially downward force exerted on the handle causes rotation of the sipping member toward the released position.

Abstract: A closure for a container is described where the container has an open end and a closed end, the closure engaging the open end of the container, wherein the closure comprises: a collar engaging the container; a lid connected to the collar by at least one hinge; wherein to facilitate engagement the collar extends over and surrounds the open end of the container such that an inner surface impinges on, or is immediately adjacent to, an outer surface of the open end of the container; wherein a plurality of beads extend outwardly from the inner surface of the collar to fixedly hold the collar in engagement with the container, wherein said beads are located substantially uniformly relative to each other and occupy less than 50% of the inner surface of the collar.

Abstract: The present invention provides a lid assembly for use in a beverage container, having a cap, a seal assembly configured to sealably close at least one drink orifice, and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly is in operative connection with the cap and the seal assembly, and configured to synchronously actuate the cap to rotate and actuate the seal assembly to displace longitudinally, so as to open the drink orifice for dispensing and close the drink orifice via a single press action. The invention also relates to a beverage container comprising such a lid assembly.

Abstract: The tamper evident container includes a base with a base hinge panel and a lid with a lid hinge panel. A hinge connects the panels. A frangible line extends from an edge of the lid hinge panel to a first point on the panel and then outwardly to the hinge. The frangible line crosses the hinge and extends inwardly to a second point on the base hinge panel. From the second point the frangible line extends to an edge of the base hinge panel. When the container is initially sealed, the frangible line separates upon the application of an upwardly directed force to a first portion of the lid hinge panel while a second portion of the lid hinge panel is held in a fixed position or moved downwardly. The separation of the frangible line creates two grasping portions that can be used to pull the lid from the base.
