Abstract
A kit for sealing an open container includes a utensil and a lid. The lid includes a lid body, a sealing mechanism, and at least one holding lug. The sealing mechanism is positioned on an inner face of the lid body, and is configured to sealingly engage an opening of a container to enable the lid to seal the opening of the container. The at least one holding lug extends radially outward from the lid body, and has a through hole extending along a direction perpendicular to the inner face. The through hole is configured to mount the utensil on the lid when the lid is engaged with a container.
Claims15
A lid for sealing a container, comprising:
- a lid body including:
- an inner face extending in a horizontal manner when the lid is disposed on an upright container;
- and
- an outer face opposite the inner face, the outer face having a pattern layer with a portion of an image of an object;
- a sealing mechanism positioned on the inner face of the lid body, and configured to sealingly engage an opening of the container to enable the lid to seal the opening of the container;
- and
- at least one holding lug integral with and extending radially outward from the lid body, wherein:
- the lid body and the at least one holding lug are formed from a same material;
- the at least one holding lug includes a fully surrounded through hole extending along a direction perpendicular to the extension of the inner face of the lid body;
- the through hole has a shape that is matched to a shape of a utensil, such that the at least one holding lug is configured to receive an end of the utensil via the through hole and mount the utensil on the lid via a resiliency of the material of the at least one holding lug and a friction between the utensil and the material of the at least one holding lug;
- and
- the at least one holding lug has a shape and position that, together with the shape of the through hole and the portion of the image of the object of the pattern layer, forms the image.
A kit for sealing an open container, comprising:
- a utensil including:
- a spoon region;
- and
- a handle region that tapers down in a direction away from the spoon region from a first diameter to a second diameter;
- and
- a lid, including:
- a lid body having:
- an inner face extending in a horizontal manner when the lid is disposed on an upright container;
- an outer face opposite the inner face that includes a pattern layer having a portion of an image of an object;
- a sealing mechanism positioned on the inner face of the lid body, and configured to sealingly engage an opening of the container to enable the lid to seal the opening of the container;
- and
- at least one holding lug extending radially outward from the lid body, and including a fully surrounded through hole extending along a direction perpendicular to the extension of the inner face of the lid body, wherein:
- the through hole has a shape matched to a shape of the handle region of the utensil, such that the at least one holding lug is configured to receive the handle region of the utensil, end first, via the through hole, and mount the utensil on the lid when the lid is engaged with the container;
- the through hole has a third diameter that is between the first diameter and the second diameter such that, when the utensil is mounted in the lid, the at least one holding lug holds (i) a portion of the handle region configured to be gripped by a user and having a diameter greater than the third diameter, and (ii) the spoon region above the lid;
- and
- the at least one holding lug has a shape and position that, together with the shape of the through hole and the portion of the image of the object of the pattern layer, forms the image.
