Abrégé

The utilitarian function of the engagement features on a lidded vessel is at least partially camouflaged so that the engagement features' utilitarian function is less apparent to the consumer after the lid is removed. The lidded vessel may be, for example, a lidded drinking glass—such as a lidded wine glass, beer glass, whiskey tumbler or soda glass—that is sold pre-filled and sealed with the wine, beer, whiskey or soda already inside. The camouflaging may be accomplished using one or more camouflaging techniques, some or all of them involving the presence of non-engagement elements.

A pre-filled stemmed glass has product sealed inside using a rigid lock-on cap. The stemmed glass illustratively includes a circumferential ledge with a groove against which the bottom rim of the cap seats, creating a liquid resistant barrier that could help prevent liquid from penetrating under the cap from the outside, if desired. The stemmed glass has a rim with a rounded profile at the outside surface of the glass and a flat profile on the inside surface thereof, facilitating injection-molding manufacture of the glass. The ledge and the lower rim of the cap of the stemmed glass have the same diameter, which facilitates the filling with product and capping of the stemmed glass by high-speed filling and capping machinery.

A pre-filled wine glass product is sealed using a rigid lock-on cap. The wine glass illustratively includes a circumferential ledge with a groove against which the bottom rim of the cap seats, creating a liquid resistant barrier that helps to prevent liquid from penetrating under the cap from the outside. The wine glass has a rim with a rounded profile at the outside surface of the glass and a flat profile on the inside surface thereof, facilitating injection-molding manufacture of the glass. The ledge, the lower rim of the cap and a rounded pedestal base of the wine glass have the same diameter, which facilitates the capping and filling of the pre-filled wine glass product by high-speed filling and capping machinery. Further facilitating this is the fact that the edge of the rounded pedestal base is at least 4 mm high and has a flat profile.

In consumer-market containers for beverages or other contents under pressure, the cap provides a gas-tight seal by way of two mechanisms that work interdependently. The first is a pressure grip configured to grip the outside wall of the container. The second is twist threads, or some other second attachment structure, that urges the inside of the cap (or, typically, a cap liner disposed thereon) against the rim of the container. Release of pressurized gases when the container is first opened can be by way of release vents in the cap, or via the bottom of the cap through the twist thread area. In the latter case, particular configurations of the pressure grip are relied on to establish the gas escape path.

Disclosed herein is a single serving beverage vessel with a resealable lid. Most often this will be prefilled with beverage for retail sale. The vessel can be shaped in various designs similar to wine, beer, coffee, or soft drink glasses. It can be made from either recyclable plastic or glass. A tamper evident seal can be either non-obtrusive or act as a removable advertising skin. The twist on/off lid extends over the opening at the top of the vessel and down the sides of the walls, interlocking with beads, threads, other protrusions or indentations. The locking features, in securing a fluid tight seal, are located sufficiently below the rim of the glass to not interfere with the user's lips. Additionally, the leak proof lid reseals to minimize spills and for reuse of the product at a later time.
