Beverage container closure with venting

Номер: US20130140309A1
Автор: Sarah Danger George
Принадлежит: Individual

A beverage container closure or lid adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be opened by pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the button is released. Thus, the user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container. The beverage container closure includes an actuating lever configured to press the button when a user applies a force to the lever. By utilizing the mechanical advantage provided by the lever, a user is able to selectively open and close the stopper using a relatively low amount of force.

A fluid storage container includes a container body provided with an interior space for storing a fluid and an opening for guiding the fluid from the interior space to the outside. A lid covers the opening of the container and is provided with a discharge opening for the fluid. The discharge opening is configured so that the discharge opening is normally in a closed state, sealed by a plug, but is set to an open state when extracting the fluid from the container body. Thus, outside air and impurities are prevented from entering the container, which prevents the degradation of the contents of the container and thereby drastically increases the lifespan of the contents. 1.

The present invention relates to a process and equipment for the fabrication of glass containers with internally threaded neck and such containers. The plunger ( 6 ) is from the glass leaving an imprint corresponding to the mouth (M) of a bottle, wherein the plunger has at least one helical groove ( 15 ) in its outside surface. During the extraction, the plunger is rotated around a longitudinal axis (X-X) performing a roto-translational motion to unscrew the plunger out of the partially solidified glass, leaving an internal thread in the mouth (M) of the bottle. The roto-translational motion for the extraction of the plunger is generated by: a linear actuator ( 30 ) acting on the plunger ( 6 ), thereby effecting a linear movement of the plunger ( 6 ) along said longitudinal axis (X-X), a guide body ( 14 ) wherein the plunger ( 6 ) is moved relative to the guide body ( 14 ) along said longitudinal axis (X-X), and a helical guide ( 16, 17 ) coaxial to the longitudinal axis (X-X) and being provided between said guide body ( 14 ) and said plunger ( 6 ) and transforming said linear movement effected by said linear actuator ( 30 ) on said plunger ( 6 ) into said roto-translational motion of said plunger ( 6 ).

A wine bottle is provided with a punt at a lower end which includes a cork retainer therein. A cork which closes an opening at an upper end of the bottle, can thus be stored within the cork retainer in the punt of the bottle, when not in use closing the opening. In one embodiment, the cork retainer includes two retainer surfaces which are opposing each other horizontally, and spaced apart by a length similar to opposing portions of the cork to allow the cork to fit tightly between these retainer surfaces. Space above the retainer surfaces can hold a foil wrap with the cork within the cork retainer and holding the foil wrap in place. The cork and foil can thus remain with the bottle before, during and after use. Full re-use of the bottle is thus facilitated. In one embodiment, the bottle has an octagonal shape so that multiple bottles can be shipped together and placed adjacent each other with flat surfaces distributing loads therebetween, without forces concentrated at points thereof, and to keep the bottles in good shape for washing, re-filling and re-use. 1: A wine container , comprising in combination:a bottle;a cork;said bottle including a neck above a body, with a shoulder between said neck and said body;an opening at an upper end of said neck, said opening leading into an interior of said bottle;said opening sized to receive said cork therein, in a manner closing off said opening;said bottle including a heel at a lower end of said body;said bottle including a punt extending up from said heel and defining a lower portion of said bottle inboard of said heel;said punt having an apex at a highest portion of said punt, and with sides extending down from said apex to said heel;said cork having ends spaced apart by a side wall, said cork side wall sized to fit within said opening of said neck in a removable fashion; anda cork retainer at least partially within said punt and configured to hold said cork within said punt after said cork is removed from said opening.2: ...

A lid assembly for attachment to a drinking vessel is provided having a camming lever rotatably attached to an upper portion of a lid main body, and a sealing member rotatably attached to a lower portion of lid main body. Rotation of the camming lever between a forward and rearward position in an elongated recess of the lid main body selectively seals and unseals a drinking aperture in the lid main body. A locking member is operable to selectively secure the rotational position of the camming lever when the sealing member is in a sealing position sealing the drinking aperture. A cam axle of the camming lever is removably attachable to an attachment element of the sealing member to transition the lid assembly between a use configuration for drinking and a cleaning configuration in which the lid assembly may be thoroughly cleaned.
