Abstract: A push and turn child resistant closure is provided which includes a combined over cap and under cap, the under cap freely rotational within the over cap and the combined closure installed on the container. For removal of the combined closure, both downward and counter-clockwise rotational force is applied to the over cap, the rotational force imparted on the under cap more readily by utilization of a friction ring at the engagement area between the over cap and the under cap while also having an outer gripping ring of highly frictional material making it much more easily rotatable and graspable by a user. The use of a highly frictional material more readily imparts rotational force on the under cap when utilized as depicted herein.

Abstract: The self-opening closure consists of a pouring spout (10), which can be assembled leak-proof on a combipack or on a container spout to be sealed with foil material, appropriate twist cap (9) as well as a self-opening sleeve (1) arranged inside the pouring spout (10). This can be made to rotate by the twist cap (9). The self-opening sleeve (1) forms on its upper edge an indentation (4), which becomes smaller towards the bottom edge (6) and tapers off into the same. There are guiding means present on the outer side of the self-opening sleeve (1) and on the inner side of the pouring spout (10) so that the self-opening sleeve (1) is guided downwards by the rotation on the pouring spout (10). The indentation (4) lies partially inside the pouring spout (10) and partially below the same after the unscrewing of the cover cap and forms an air inlet channel, which results in a steady outpour during the pouring out of the liquid content of a combipack.

Abstract: The present invention features a cup that is used for children that transitions them from sippy cups to conventional drinking cups. The cup does not require any suction by the child when drinking yet is spill proof when locked for transit. The cup features a reservoir, a top and a lid. Within the top is a central passage and a plate that contains vents. When closed, the lid is flush against the plate and prevents any liquid from leaking. When the lid is rotated open, a gap is exposed between the lid and plate to allow liquid to flow from the reservoir and through the vents to the child's mouth. Regardless of whether the lid is opened or closed, the lid always remains below the top rim of the top.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved multifunctional drinking cup structure, comprising a cup body, an inner cup lid, and an outer cup lid, wherein the inner cup lid is used to cover the opening of the cup body directly, the inner cup lid has an outlet hole, a convection hole, a primary insert hole, and a secondary insert hole (as needed), and the outer cup lid has a corresponding outlet hole, a convection hole, a main insert hole, and a secondary insert hole; the outer cup lid is covered inside the cup body, such that when the outer cup lid is rotated to align the corresponding holes, beverage can be drunk from the outlet hole by the mouth, or by sucking a straw that is inserted into the primary insert hole or the secondary insert hole. Both of the primary insert hole and the secondary insert hole have a guiding structure that prevents the straw from being askew. The outer cup lid may have no holes at all, but is simply used to cover the inner cup lid.
