AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a container that has a sealing member to make sure the cap is secure and can be used. The sealing member can be part of the cap or the container body, or it can be a separate item like a gasket or membrane seal. The membrane seal is made of metal foil with polymer layers on it, which can provide a good barrier for gas. The use of a metal foil seal can be done by heating the container and bonding the foil to the cap and/or container body. This sealing member can be on the cap or the container body, or both.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is the lack of a practical beverage container that consumers can drink from comfortably, similar to a glass or other drinking vessel. This is because there are significant technical problems associated with wide-mouth containers, and no practical solution to the problems has successfully been devised. The invention aims to provide a practical beverage container with a closure that can be easily removed by hand, and can be a wide-mouth or narrow-mouth container as needed.
