Abstract: A multi-piece pail lid features a mounting base having an outer rim matable to the container, and a recessed center wall bound by the mounting rim and embodying at least one opening for introduction or pouring of a pourable medium to or from the pail. A separate removable cover is selectively engageable to the mounting base in a closed position seated atop the recessed center wall and closing the hole(s) therein. An inside of the mounting rim, at one half thereof, is undercut to accept angulated insertion of a perimeter margin of the cover, and holding clips on the other half are usable to lock the cover in place once inserted to, and laid flat on, the mounting base. The recessed center wall of the mounting base is reinforced to allow pail stacking and the clip-held closure of the cover has sufficient strength for use of vacuum palletizers thereon.

Abstract: A combined lid and strainer device for a paint container features an outer mounting rim configured for mated fitting onto a rim of the paint container. Within a central circular area surrounded by the rim, there is a perforated a straining area through which paint is pourable. A movable cover is selectively movable between a closed position overlying the perforated straining area, and open positions withdrawn therefrom to allow strained pouring of the paint therethrough. Raised features on the cover are used to secure the cover closed when the lidded container is placed in a paint shaker. A sealing membrane is used, at least initially, seal the perforated area in air-tight fashion to maintain paint freshness. Securement features are usable to secure the flap in both closed and open positions.

Abstract: Provided is air return grille assembly that is to be positioned over the open end of an air return duct. The air return grille assembly comprises a concealing arrangement joined to an air return grille such that it is spaced apart from the rear face of the air return grille. The concealing arrangement obstructs from view, through air flow openings in the air return grille, an air return duct when the air return grille is positioned over the open end of said duct.
