Abstract: A lid structure comprising a metal lid in the form of a disc (20) and a plastics ring (1). A lug (6) on the ring is snap-fitted around the exposed edge (25) of the lid. The lid structure can be fitted onto a filled container by application of a downward force until a lower profile (7) on the ring is forced around a curl or other feature on the top edge of the container. Outward expansion of the lid structure provides further retention on the container. The plastics ring of the lid structure has one or more weakened regions which can be torn to release the lid structure from the container without the need for any tool.

Abstract: A dispensing container for bead products includes a lid and a bottom part. Pulling back the lid exposes the interior of the container where the bead products are located. The internal structures of the container includes a step and may further include a recess, and funnel structures at the front of the bottom part provide for feeding the beads one at a time or in a stream when the lid is pulled back.
