Abstract: A closure for an open mouth of a container is provided. The closure includes a rim and a lid frame configured to mate with the rim. The rim includes an opening and is adapted to be coupled to a top edge of the open mouth of the container. The closure further includes a connector having a cover portion coupled to the lid frame in order to form a lid and a hinge portion coupled to the rim. The lid frame is made of a first material and the connector is made of a second material. The connector is provided to support the lid for pivotable movement relative to the rim between a closed position wherein the lid closes the opening formed in the rim and an opened position wherein the lid lies away from the rim.

Abstract: A cap is provided for mounting on a necked-in can. The cap includes a shell formed to include an interior region and a tool-receiving aperture opening into the interior region. A ridge is appended to the shell and positioned to lie in the interior region of the cap. The ridge includes a downwardly facing ridge edge that lies inside the interior region of the cap and adjacent to the tool-receiving aperture. The ridge edge overlies a portion of an annular lip of the necked-in can when the cap is mounted on the can so that a cap-removal tool can be inserted into the interior region of the shell through the tool-receiving aperture simultaneously to engage the annular lip of the can and the ridge edge. When the cap-removal tool is rotated manually about its longitudinal axis, the cap-removal tool acts between the ridge edge and the annular lip to demount the cap from the necked-in can.

Abstract: A beverage cup comprises a large-diameter tall main body providing a large capacity, a narrow-diameter short base adapted to be received in a vehicle cup holder, and a neck connecting the main body to the base to define a beverage-receiving cavity. The neck has a circumferential finger-receiving groove configured and positioned to receive a user's finger when the user grasps the cup to remove it from the cup holder.

Abstract: A lid is provided for mounting on an annular lip around the top of a can. The lid includes a shell, a lid-retaining portion, and a hook-shaped load-distributing member. The shell has an inner wall and the lid-retaining portion is appended to the inner wall of the shell and positioned to engage the annular lip to hold the lid in place on the can. The hook-shaped load-distributing member is appended to the inner wall of the shell and is positioned to hook onto and engage the annular lip lying around the top of the can. The hook-shaped load-distributing member functions to distribute an external compression load applied to the lid from the lid to the can.

Abstract: A container includes a lid for covering the open mouth of a container. The container includes a rim around the open mouth and a pair of helical lid guides apended to the rim. The lid is rotatable to engage the helical lid guides and retain the lid in place on the container. The lid includes a first guide follower that is arranged to move around the rim during rotation of the lid relative to the container and engage one of the lid guides to hold the lid on the container.
