Publication number: 20160251122Abstract: Methods, systems, caps, containers, and assemblies for a gecko-like container capping system are described. A gecko-like cap configured to cover an opening in a container may include an inner surface configured to mate with an opening surface of a container. Setae may be located on a surface of the cap and/or a surface of the container that are configured to oppose movement of the cap away from the container by creating an adhesion force between the inner surface and the opening surface. The cap may include one or more release mechanisms configured to deflect the inner surface away from the opening surface, thereby reducing the adhesion force such that the cap is removable from the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2016Publication date: September 1, 2016Applicant: EMPIRE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LLCInventors: Timothy LONDERGAN, Feng WAN, Kenichi HASHIZUME, Scott NEEDHAM
