Abstract:
A covered laundry basket device covers a top opening of a laundry basket while transporting laundry. The device includes a cover having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a perimeter edge extending around and between the inner surface and the outer surface, the perimeter edge defining an opening into an interior space of the cover defined by the inner surface. A hem extends around the opening defining a channel extending around the opening. A line extends through the channel for gathering the opening coupling the cover to a laundry basket by positioning the cover over a top opening of the laundry basket while the perimeter edge engages and retains the cover on the laundry basket.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lid assembly for a drinking container, the lid assembly comprising a drinking orifice, a gas vent, and a mechanism to ensure that the drinking orifice can be opened only after the gas vent is opened. Furthermore, the present invention provides a lid assembly for a drinking container, which lid assembly allows for easy disassembling for purposes such as cleaning the inside of the lid assembly.
Abstract:
A lid for a container is described. The lid has a basin that is designed to enhance the user's olfactory experience when drinking a beverage from the container and lid. As the user tilts the container and lid to take a drink, the beverage pours through an opening on the basin valley and flows across a sipping surface area to the user's mouth, thus allowing the beverage to aerate, evaporate, and cool. The basin is sized and dimensioned to channel and concentrate the vapor rising from the beverage towards the user's nose as the user sips the beverage. The basin and the opening are sized and dimensioned to provide a comfortable and secure feeling when drinking hot beverages. In this manner, the lid enhances the drinker's olfactory experience and provides better controllability of the flow of a hot beverage to prevent burn injuries.
Abstract:
A hot liquid straw is disclosed which features a flexible, elongated, hollow body having a continuous noncircular cross section and a length suited for drinking from a beverage container. The straw is dimensioned to regulate flow and remove heat from a hot liquid as it passes through, thereby delivering a volume of the liquid to a user's mouth at a temperature which is safe for consumption. The straw is flexible to allow for safe drinking on the go and for use in various heights of beverage containers. A system for drinking from a beverage container with a lid that accepts a snap-on container is also disclosed, in which the straw is inserted through a hole in the lid.
Abstract:
Provided here is a smokeless tobacco product, comprising a tobacco composition and an encapsulating composition coating the tobacco composition, wherein the encapsulating composition comprises methyl salicylate, and also a method for producing the smokeless tobacco product. Further provided is a tobacco product package, comprising a casing comprising an outer rim, and a removable lid enclosing the outer rim of the casing, wherein the outer rim is coated with a coating layer comprising methyl salicylate, and also a method for producing the tobacco product package.
Abstract:
A lid for a beverage cup includes a mouth opening, an aroma opening, and a concentrator member. The mouth opening is positioned closer to a rim of the lid than the aroma opening. An area of the aroma opening is greater than an area of the mouth opening. The concentrator member surrounds the aroma opening and extends from a plane formed by the aroma opening to a height above the aroma opening. A cross sectional area of the concentrator decreases in a direction from a base to an upper end of the concentrator, creating a concentration of beverage aromas in the space surrounding a user's nose. The concentrator channels a concentrated amount of aroma to the nose, providing an enhanced drinking and tasting experience.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a container lid for vacuum sealing which generates negative pressure in the internal space of a container, which is provided by covering the open upper part of a container main body, and seals same. An annular packing is mounted so as to go around the inner surface of a lid main body, and a check valve is mounted in the inner part of the outer surface of the lid main body. The check valve generates negative pressure in the internal space of the container by allowing air inside the container to flow to the outside but preventing outside air from flowing into the container when a pressure difference occurs between the inside and outside of the container. A plurality of self catching protrusions are provided respectively at a plurality of points on the edges of the lid main body, and a plurality of locking members are mounted respectively and pivotably in sections adjacent to the plurality of self catching protrusions. Each locking member comprises: self-locking protrusions which are press-fitted and coupled to the self catching protrusions in a closed state so that the locking members are not released; and main body-locking protrusions which prevent the container lid from being taken off from the container main body by being caught by the circumference of the opening part of the container main body or a main body catching protrusion, even if the container lid rises due to the expansion of the packing as a result of a decrease in the negative pressure generated inside the container.
Abstract:
A pull-tab sealing member for a container containing an upper laminate forming a pull-tab bonded to a lower laminate capable of being heat sealed to a container's mouth or opening. The upper laminate defines the pull tab wholly within a perimeter or circumference of the seal. The sealing member further includes a sub tab layer or member under the gripping tab for concentric structural support.
Abstract:
A portable milk warmer that is suitable for use with vessels, such as ampules, bags or bottles, enclosing chilled or frozen liquids, such as breast milk. The portable milk warmer includes separate chambers in a single container that separates the vessel from a warming (or cooling) medium. The milk warmer includes a feature for filling an outer chamber with a warming or cooling medium.
Abstract:
A lid configured for use with a fluid container includes a body member and a valve. The body member includes a central body that extends to an outer periphery configured to couple to a rim of a fluid container. The body member defines an aperture therethrough and has top and bottom surfaces. The valve has a first portion directly secured to the bottom surface and a second portion that extends from the first portion. The second portion includes a protuberance and is movable relative to the first portion between free and depressed states in response to deflection of at least a portion of the central body relative to the outer periphery. The protuberance is configured for sealed engagement with the aperture while the second portion is in the free state and is spaced from the aperture while the second portion is in the depressed state.
