20090218360 | Lid for Airtight Containers - Disclosed herein is a lid for airtight containers. The lid according to the present invention includes a plurality of locking flap handles, which are coupled to a lid body so as to be rotatable, and each of which has a locking protrusion to be locked to a locking depression formed in the outer edge of the upper end of a container body. The locking flap handles are connected to the lid body by respective film hinges. The film hinge includes an elastic hinge part, which is continuous with the upper surface of the lid without having a stepped portion and is curved outwards at a predetermined curvature, and a connection part, which connects the elastic hinge part to the locking flap handle. The connection part extends a predetermined length to disperse an impact generated when the locking flap handle is locked to the container body. Thus, when the locking flap handle is locked to the container body, the elastic hinge part is folded around an inner corner, which forms a boundary between the elastic hinge part and the lid body, and is elastically brought into contact with the outer surface of the lid body. | 09-03-2009 |
20120037654 | CONTAINER LID - A container lid which seals about a peripheral lip contacting a corresponding container is disclosed. A flexible material, such as a silicone rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, or the like, is attached to at least a peripheral lip formed in a flexible substrate, such as a flexible metal or plastic material, having a first and second surface. The peripheral lip includes notches or slots to create individual sections in the lip to allow inward and outward flexing of the sections. When fitted to a container, the coated flexible substrate forms a seal between the container and the container lid. Preferably, the flexible substrate is formed in such a way that it is bi-stable, thus capable of existing in either a convex or concave state. In one embodiment of the container lid the flexible substrate includes a plurality of grasping teeth (i.e., specialized flexing sections) distributed about the periphery of the flexible substrate. | 02-16-2012 |

The locking part has:—locking elements including a plurality of beads arranged around the inner surface of the lower portion and at a distance from each other, and—a plurality of orifices, arranged around the locking part at a distance from each other and extending at a distance from the lower free edge, wherein the orifices extend through the locking part, at least over a part of the height of the upper and lower portions thereof. | 10-04-2012 |
20130306666 | CLOSURE INDICATOR FOR LID - A lid for a container includes: a closure having a disk shape and a circumferential rim extending about a periphery of the closure; the circumferential rim further comprising an annular inner side wall, an annular outer side wall, wherein the outer side wall extends around the inner side wall and is opposite to the inner side wall, the outer side wall and inner side wall being interconnected by an annular top wall, the annular top wall interconnecting the outer side wall to the inner side wall, wherein the combination of the annular inner side wall, the annular outer side wall and the annular top wall define a channel; and a brim lock in the annular outer side wall for fastening the lid to the container; a plurality of dimples inverted along the annular outer side wall, wherein the plurality of dimples of the annular outer side wall project into the channel from the outer surface of the annular outer side wall and configured to be non-inverted dimples when the lid is secured onto the container. | 11-21-2013 |
20140061215 | LID - A lid is provided for covering or sealing a cup by engaging a rim flange of the cup. The lid includes a top portion and an annular side plate which extends downwardly from periphery of the top portion. The plate is formed with a hole. An engagement plate is disposed on the side plate. A bottom edge of the engagement plate is connected to the plate. A top edge of the engagement plate stretches upwardly along the hole, so that the engagement plate is located in the hole. The plates are flexible. As such, the engagement plate can be pressed and bent inwardly when the lid covers a cup. The engagement plate would then engage with the rim flange of the cup so as to enhance engagement of the lid and the cup. | 03-06-2014 |
20160145009 | LID - A lid is provided for covering or sealing a cup by engaging a rim flange of the cup. The lid includes a top portion and an annular side plate which extends downwardly from periphery of the top portion. The plate is formed with a hole. An engagement plate is disposed on the side plate. A bottom edge of the engagement plate is connected to the plate. A top edge of the engagement plate stretches upwardly along the hole, so that the engagement plate is located in the hole. The plates are flexible. As such, the engagement plate can be pressed and bent inwardly when the lid covers a cup. The engagement plate would then engage with the rim flange of the cup so as to enhance engagement of the lid and the cup. | 05-26-2016 |

20100230428 | Variable Height Adjustable Storage Capacity Container - An adjustable storage container is formed with a removable lid that fits telescopically over the bottom section. The container's storage capacity is adjustable based upon the ability to increase and/or decrease the container's capacity by changing the orientation of the lid placement telescopically over the container bottom. Key slot ledges of differing depths that are designed into the side walls of the container's bottom section enable the lid to perch at different heights above the floor of the container depending upon which orientation of the lid is used when placing the lid telescopically over the container bottom. The abstract is not intended to be limiting in regard to the scope of the invention as defined by the claims to follow. | 09-16-2010 |
