  • Patent number: 11772858
    Abstract: An airtight device includes a container and an airtight cover on the container, and the airtight cover includes a fixing bracket, a door, and a pressuring handle. The fixing bracket has a through hole and a guiding slot, and the through hole communicates with internal space of the container. The guiding slot has adjacent first and second top surfaces, and the second top surface is higher than the first top surface. The door selectively covers the through hole. The pressuring handle pivoted on the door has a first section, a second section, and a rotating axis between the first and second sections, and the first section rotates relative to the second section. The second section receives a force to drive the first section to move from below the second top surface to below the first top surface such that the rotating axis pressures the door.

  • Patent number: 11738382
    Abstract: The principles of the present invention further provide both a shaped metal container and its preforms that exhibit a rounded grain structure characteristic created by an annealing process and a method for making a shaped metal container. The process of making said metal container results in a quicker process time and uses less metals (at least 10% metal weight savings), thus allowing for a decrease in the costs of making such shaped metal containers. A shaped metal container may include work hardened rolled sheet-metal defining a sidewall, an opening, and a base, where at least one section along the sidewall has grains with an average aspect ratio less than about 4 to 1.
