Abstract:
A food jar (20; 40) has an insulated body (22; 160) with a wide-mouth opening for receiving food. A collar (26; 154) is affixed to the opening of the food jar by affixing a throat member to the collar and threading the throat into the wide-mouth body. The throat member (38) includes a gasket (88; 188) at the lower end to seal the throat to the body. A lid (28; 144) is affixed to the collar by a hinge (34). The lid includes a central projection (40; 168) that extends into sealing contact with the gasket on the throat member to seal the lid to the throat member. A button (32; 142) is mounted in a channel in the lid and biased by a spring (108; 196) to move into an engaging position to engage the collar at an opening in the collar to secure the lid to the collar. A wire loop (156) is provided to engage the button in an embodiment.
Abstract:
A dual chamber hinged food storage container (100) is disclosed. The dual chamber food storage container (100) includes a first resealable container (102) and a second resealable container (108) joined by a hinge (114). The dual chamber food storage container (100) may assume a compact folded configuration for transportation and storage, as well as a convenient opened configuration for serving the food items stored in the dual chamber food storage container (100).
Abstract:
A leak proof/resistant drinking lid (10) is provided for use with beverage container. The lid (10) includes a housing (14) to mount the lid (10) to the beverage container, a manually actuated valve stem (16) mounted to the housing (14) to translate relative to the housing (14), a drinking port (18) extending through the housing (14), a drinking valve head (20) carried on the stem (16) for movement relative to the housing (14) between a closed position closing the drinking port (18) and an open position wherein the beverage can flow through the drinking port (18), a pressure relief port (22) extending through the drinking valve head (20) to allow equalization of pressure across the head 20 with the head 20 in the closed position, and a pressure relief valve head (24) mounted to the stem 16 for movement relative to the drinking valve head (20) between a closed position closing the pressure relief port (22) and an open position wherein air can pass through the pressure relief port (22). The pressure relief valve head (24) is releasably mounted to the stem (16) by a connector (26). A resilient member (28) is sandwiched between the stem (16) and the drinking valve head (20) to transmit an actuating force from the stem (16) to the drinking valve head (20) and to allow the stem (16) and the pressure relief valve head (24) to translate relative to the drinking valve head (20).
Abstract:
A drink bottle (10) with a removable lid (14) includes an inner lid (20) attached to the mouth of the bottle and an outer lid or cover (24) pivotably mounted on said inner lid. A drink spout (56) extends from the inner lid. The outer lid or cover may be locked into a closed position covering the drink spout. A push button release (22) is activated to unlock the outer lid and permit the outer lid (24) to pivot to a position exposing the drink spout (56) for access by a user. The outer lid may be snapped of the inner lid by moving the outer lid beyond an open position. A bail handle (28) on the outer lid is retained in a stowed position in a recess (50) in the outer lid or is moved to a deployed position. The bail handle disconnects from the outer lid when moved beyond the deployed position. The push button for releasing the closed outer lid is enclosed within a tunnel (64) in the inner lid (20).

Abstract:
A food jar is described that may be used to store and transport food items. The food jar includes a container, a lid, and a vent. As the lid is unscrewed from the container, the vent opens to equilibrate air pressure within the container with the atmosphere. The vent relieves high and low pressure within the container. The food jar may also include stopper with a vent. The stopper may include an upper and a lower stopper that form the vent.
