The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching devices, in either the closed configuration or the open configuration. In some examples, the rotatable lid may be non-destructively removable from the base. Some example arrangements include a removable lid that, when removed, may be secured to the base via an additional portion of the latching device. Additional features of the insulating container include handles that are integrally formed with the base, a recess formed in the base and housing a spigot, and/or a spigot guard.

Abstract: A beverage container closure or lid that is adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container is provided. The lid is selectively couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable cover that, when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The lid is provided with a dual-locking mechanism including an actuation disk locking mechanism and a press-button locking mechanism. Each locking mechanism is operable to transition between a locking position and an unlocking position and opening the cover to permit the passage of fluid requires that both locking mechanism be in their respective unlocking positions.

Abstract: An attachable flotation device for a fuel storage cap of a watercraft, the fuel storage cap including an outer surface, an inner surface, and an engagement portion that engages a corresponding portion of the watercraft to cover access to a fuel tank of the watercraft, comprising a floatable material including a top and a bottom; and an attachment mechanism on the bottom of the floatable material that is attachable to the outer surface of the fuel storage cap to attach the floatable material to the fuel storage cap, the floatable material providing sufficient buoyancy to enable the fuel storage cap to float in water when the fuel storage cap accidentally falls in the water during refueling, preventing the fuel storage cap from sinking, and allowing the fuel storage cap to be more readily located and retrieved.

Abstract: A quickly-sealing cover having a cover body matched with a cup body or bottle body, in which the lower end of cover body is partially embedded. The outer wall at the lower end is equipped with an inward-retracted bevel edge, forming a wedge-shaped opening surrounding the lower end. Below the cover body a push pedal is flexibly installed on which a sealing ring is equipped. The upper edge of the sealing ring is opposite the wedge-shaped opening. The upper edge of the sealing ring is embedded into the wedge-shaped opening when the push pedal moves upward. This achieves a perfect sealing effect between cover body and cup body or bottle body. The cover is firmly attached to the mouth edge of cup body or bottle body due to static friction force increased, without screw connection, thus the mouth edge may be in any form in addition to circle.

A preform and method for making a container are also disclosed.

Abstract: A lid may include first and second openings disposed within a spout. The first opening may provide a first fluid pathway to a fluid disposed in an attached container and the second opening may provide a second fluid pathway to a fluid disposed in the container. The lid may also include a spout at least partially defined by an outer wall. First and second openings may be disposed within the spout and the openings may be at least partially defined by the outer wall of the spout. A conduit, such as a straw, may be coupled to an opening. If desired, a closure may be connected to the lid and the closure may selectively close one or more of the openings.

Abstract: A lunch box assembly having a main housing having a lid rotatably, hingedly attached to a base to provide access to an opened interior of one or more compartments is disclosed. The lid can have ferrously magnetic material and recesses to accept magnets. The magnets can be shaped to fit the recesses. The base can have compartments aligned with corresponding compartments in the lid. The base and the lid can form one or more closed food storage compartments that separate the contents from the neighboring compartments. A latch on the base and lid can produce a clamping force on a small lidded container or containers placed in one or more of the compartments. The clamping force can clamp the lidded container closed and prevent leakage of fluids in the container.

Abstract: A storage container includes a cover portion, a body portion disposed below the cover portion so as to form a storage space together with the cover portion for storing an end of an article therein, and a connecting portion connecting the cover portion and the body portion to each other and imparting a tensile force in an opening direction when the cover portion is moved in an opening direction with respect to the body portion and a tensile force in a closing direction when the cover portion is moved in a closing direction with respect to the body portion. The storage container can be provided in which a cover portion and a body portion are included, and a connecting portion is included inside the storage container to impart tensile force in connection with the cover portion.

Abstract: A drink container includes an outer body with an inner separation membrane separating two chambers, the separation membrane having a through-passage connecting the two chambers, straw holes through the top of outer body into each of the two chambers, enabling a user to introduce a straw into one or both of the chambers to consume liquid content of the chambers, a flexible closure membrane sealed to the separation membrane by a separable adhesive, over the through-passage, and a pull strip overlying the closure membrane, attached to a lowermost end of the closure membrane, and passing through a slit on top of the outer body, ending in a pull tab outside the top of the outer body. Grasping the pull tab and pulling the pull strip upward through the slit peels the closure membrane away from the separation membrane, opening the through passage, enabling contents in the two chambers to mix.

Abstract: A tank or tank system for storing a cryogenic liquid exhibiting at least one collecting container with an upper region and a lower region, so as to hold the cryogenic liquid, at least one arrangement for feeding and discharging liquids and at least one arrangement for feeding and discharging gases, wherein the tank further exhibits at least one frame structure comprising a thermal insulation material.

Abstract: The mechanical breather valve includes a valve body, on which is installed one-way air inlet and outlet components. A tank, for environmental protection, is fitted with the breather valve and closed so that no volatile gas will be exhausted, when the pressure within is balanced with the outside. When the pressure within is negative, the one-way air inlet hole will draw air from outside to keep the balance of pressure. When the pressure within is increased, one-way air outlet hole will exhaust the additional air. When the tank is tilted or placed upside down, the breather valve can prevent the oil from flowing out of the tank for safe usage.
