Abstract: Method of closing an open container (15) with a can lid (3) to obtain a closed can (12) and a device (1) for separating can lids (3) disposed in a stack by means of a separator blade (4), the device comprising at least one suction device (5) for aspirating particles occurring on the can lids (3) during the process of separating the cans.

Abstract: A container (1) having a lower part (2) and a lid (3) which covers the lower part (3), wherein the lid (3) has a closure (4) that can be moved from a first position into at least one further position, wherein the lower part (3) is fully closed by a covering (5), and the closure (4) is configured such that at least one opening (13) is realized in the covering (5) when the closure (4) is moved from the first position into the at least one further position. Further movement of the closure (4) to a third position exposes the at least one opening (13), allowing access to a medium stored in the container (1).

Abstract: A refrigerator (1) comprising a thermally insulated refrigerator compartment (15), a refrigeration machine by means of which the refrigerator compartment (15) can be cooled to a temperature below ambient temperature, and at least one door (3, 4) through which the refrigerator compartment (15) can be accessed from outside is further provided with a bottle cooler (9) the interior of which is designed to accommodate at least one bottle and can be cooled to a temperature below ambient temperature and whose opening (10) for placing a bottle therein and removing a bottle is preferably arranged in the top side of the refrigerator (1).

Abstract: A container (1), such as a drink container, comprises a body (2) for accommodating fluids, a bottom (10), a side wall (12), a body opening (28), and a first connecting element (32). A fluid-tight closing unit (30) is connectable to the first connecting element (32) in a fluid-tight manner and has a region where a fluid passage to the body can be provided. A mouthpiece module (24) comprises a mouthpiece (26), a fluid line (34), and a unit (36) for creating a fluid passage to the body in the region.
