Resealable container lid and accessories including methods of manufacturing and use

A resealable container lid assembly comprising:

• a container lid comprising:
• a vertical sidewall having a cylindrical shape extending between an upper peripheral edge and a lower peripheral edge,
• a seaming panel formed about the vertical sidewall upper peripheral edge, the seaming panel being adapted to assemble the container lid to a container,
• a countersink formed about the lower peripheral edge of the vertical sidewall, the countersink having a generally “U” shape,
• a cap receiving socket bottom wall extending radially inward from an inner upper edge of the countersink,
• a score line formed within the cap receiving socket bottom wall, the score line arranged in a shape defining a tear panel and a tear panel hinge,
• a container lid rotational and axial guide feature integral with the vertical sidewall, and
• a container lid seal engaging surface,
• wherein the container lid vertical sidewall, the countersink, and the cap receiving socket bottom wall collectively define a cap receiving socket;
• and
• a container lid sealing cap comprising:
• a resealable container cap generally horizontally oriented traversing wall,
• a resealable container cap cylindrical sidewall arranged generally perpendicular to the resealable container cap generally horizontally oriented traversing wall, the resealable container cap cylindrical exterior sidewall having a cylindrical shape, sized to rotationally engage with an interior surface of the container lid vertical sidewall,
• an incisor extending downward from a bottom surface of the resealable container cap generally horizontally oriented traversing wall,
• a grip feature adapted to receive a force cause a rotational motion of the container lid sealing cap, and
• a sealing cap rotational and axial guide feature integral with the cap cylindrical exterior sidewall,
• a sealing element arranged to engage with the container lid seal engaging surface;
• wherein the container cap is inserted into the cap receiving socket,
• wherein the sealing cap rotational and axial guide feature and the container lid rotational and axial guide feature are adapted to at least one of:
• a) axially translate the resealable container cap within the cap receiving socket when the resealable container cap is rotated respective to the container lid, and
• b) generate an axial force between at least one feature integral with the bottom surface of the resealable container lid sealing cap and a corresponding feature integral with the cap receiving socket bottom wall,
• wherein the incisor is adapted to initiate a fracture of the score line during rotation of the sealing cap within the cap receiving socket.
