Abstract: A sealing lid for a straw, and a cup and a straw with a sealing lid include: a lid main body for sealing a straw opening, and an attracting element connected to the lid main body. The attracting element is configured for magnetically attracting with a cup main body or a straw main body. Therefore, users can attach the lid main body to a side wall of the cup main body or a side wall of the straw main body. When users need to seal a cup opening or the straw opening, the lid main body can be used to seal the cup opening or the straw opening to prevent liquid leakage. When users need to open the cup opening or the straw opening, the lid main body can be detached from the cup opening or the straw opening.

Abstract: A bottle assembly has a bottle and a removable cap. The cap includes a nozzle and a vent arrangement. The vent arrangement can include a vent conduit that extends into an air cavity present at the bottom of the bottle assembly when the bottle assembly is inverted. The vent arrangement allows for pressure equalization within the bottom assembly in response to liquid being dispensed from the bottle assembly to permit high flow rates of the dispensed liquid without squeezing of the bottle.

Abstract: The container includes a base and a lid pivotally coupled to the base. The base includes a bottom wall and a peripheral wall, where a plurality of receptacles are defined in the peripheral wall. The peripheral wall is configured to be moved from a relaxed position to a flexed position by applying a first force to a first portion of the peripheral wall in a first direction and a second force to a second portion of the peripheral wall in a second direction. The lid includes a top wall and a plurality of projections. In the relaxed position, the lid is configured to engage the receptacles so as to retain the lid in a closed configuration. The container is configured to be moved from the closed configuration to an open configuration by moving the lid in a third direction while the peripheral wall is in the flexed position.

Abstract: Provided is a cooking utensil for cooking by variously combining multi-structured composite bases according to a user's selection. The cooking utensil includes: a base portion made of a composite material and formed to have different thermal conductivities of a heat source according to cooking ingredients and cooking methods; a body portion into which the cooking ingredients are put and to which the base portion is detachably coupled; and a lid configured to seal an upper part of the body portion.

Abstract: A lid for a container. The lid comprises a central wall and a dispenser comprising a dispenser flap hingedly connected to the central wall and moveable between a closed configuration and an open configuration at least partially exposing a dispenser opening in the central wall. The dispenser further can include a projection extending from the dispenser flap. The lid further comprises a locking feature for maintaining the dispenser in the open configuration. The locking feature can comprise a locking recess in the central wall for at least partially receiving the projection. The dispenser opening can be located on a centerline of the lid, and the locking recess can be spaced away from the centerline of the lid.

Abstract: A device for the transport of a liquid includes a container for holding the liquid and a handle secured to the container. The handle is formed at least in portions by a roll of a rolled flat material. A handle for a container is manufactured by a method that can include a rolling step and a securing step.

Abstract: A container with a terracotta lid includes a container having a attached to the container and movable between an open position allowing access to the container interior space and a closed position enclosing the container interior space, with a lid opening arranged to allow air to travel from the container interior space through the lid opening when the lid is in the closed position. An access panel allows access to the container interior space through the lid opening. A moisture-retaining insert such as a terracotta material is removably retained between the lid and the access panel when the access panel is in the closed position.

Abstract: A method of thermoforming a container includes forming a lid having a lid rim, and forming a base including a base rim. The method also includes forming a foldable section that joins the lid rim and the base rim and includes a lid hinge panel extending from the lid rim to a hinge and a base hinge panel extending from the base rim to the hinge. The method also includes forming a frangible line that extends from an edge of the lid hinge panel, across a portion of the lid hinge panel to a first point, from the first point across the lid hinge panel to the hinge, across the hinge, across the base hinge panel from the hinge to a second point on the base hinge panel, and from the second point across a portion of the base hinge panel to an outside edge of the base hinge panel.

Abstract: A lid for covering a container has a lid body having a peripheral connection for connecting to the container, a first hole in the lid body, the first body having a first shape, a second hole in the lid body, the second hole having a second shape that is different from the first shape, and a slidable cover member that slides in a groove formed in the lid body between a covered position and an uncovered position to selectively cover and uncover the first hole. The lid includes a pivoting plug that pivots in a space between the ramps between a plugged position and an unplugged position to selectively plug the second hole.

Abstract: A cap for a container having a pair of side walls each with an inner wall surface. Each inner wall surface having a minimum of two pairs of ribs distributed thereon for retention of a liner. Each of the a minimum of two pairs of ribs has a concave arc with a concave radius of curvature forming a curved portion of the inner wall, and a convex arc. Each of the a minimum if two pairs of ribs has a different overall configuration that facilitates removal, and securing onto, of the cap from/to the container without damage of the ribs and the retention of the liner in the cap.

Abstract: The dual-chambered liquid container canteen of the present invention includes a dual-chambered container with a vertical partition separating each chamber, the dual-chambered liquid container of the present invention includes a dual-chambered container with a vertical partition separating each chamber, three interchangeable lids with two separate non-removable inner wall compartments that fits inside each chamber of the container and securely separate the liquids while ensuring proper positioning of the lid over each compartment. A gasket molded into the rim of the container and vertical partition of the container to ensure a liquid airtight seal between each chamber and the lid, a gasket molded into the rim of the container and vertical partition of the container to ensure a liquid tight seal between each chamber and the lid, each lid has release holes for venting the container chambers to atmosphere as liquids are dispersed from the container.

Abstract: A container includes a cover assembly, a base assembly, magnets and a ferromagnetic element. The cover assembly includes an edge extending around an open end. The base assembly includes an open end inserted in the cover assembly via the open end of the cover assembly when the edge of the cover assembly covers the open end of the base assembly. The magnets are connected to the cover assembly or the base assemblies while the ferromagnetic element is connected to the base assembly or the cover assembly. The magnets are operable to magnetically attract the ferromagnetic element to keep the cover assembly covering the open end of the base assembly.

Abstract: Novel lockable safety closures and containers comprising the closures are described herein. The containers and closures are useful for dispensing valuable, dangerous, or potentially dangerous goods, and are easy for adults (including the elderly or frail) to open, but difficult for children to open. The closures include a displaceable slider covering a main opening for accessing the interior of a container. The slide includes one or more depressible tabs that keep to slider in a closed, and which can be opening by depressing the tab (or tabs) and urging the slider to an open position.
