System for adapting press-on container lids to make them splash proof

Abstract

The system and method invention herein disclosed and claimed is a system for adapting press-on container lids so that when placed on upright oriented containers, no liquid inside the container will be able to splash out and spill over.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 A semi-circular disk-like structure;   Said semi-circular disk-like structure made of solid material through which liquids will not flow;   A blocking area on said semi-circular disk-like structure near the semi-circular edge of said structure and essentially halfway between the ends of said structure;   Said semi-circular disk-like structure having small holes evenly spaced on the semi-circular surface through which liquid can freely flow;   Said small holes are absent from said blocking area.   
     
     
         2 . A system as in  claim 1  further comprising:
 Said semi-circular disk-like structure operative to flexibly fit into an existing press-on lid and remain held in place through firm contact with the sides of said press-on lid. 
 
     
     
         3 . A system as in  claim 1  further comprising:
 Said semi-circular disk-like structure sized so that when said flexibly fit in a said existing press-on lid, and remain said held in place through said firm contact with the said sides of said press-on lid, said semi-circular disk-like structure will not be able to lay flush against said press-on lid top, but instead will be angularly displaced away from said press-on lid top while the diameter edge is flush with said press-on lid top. 
 
     
     
         4 . A system as in  claim 1  further comprising:
 A pillar like structure, or plurality of said pillar like structures, near the semi-circular edge and perpendicular to said adapter's surface operative to act as a standoff which angularly displaces the said semi-circular edge away from said press-on lid top while said diameter edge is flush with said press-on lid top. 
 
     
     
         5 . A system comprising:
 A conical section structure whose base is an elongated circle;   An elongated circular collar at the said base whose dimensions are larger than the said base;   Said small holes along the sides of said conical section such that said small holes are essentially parallel to said base.   
     
     
         6 . A system as in  claim 5  further comprising:
 Indentations in said sides located below said collar and parallel to said base. 
 
     
     
         7 . A system comprising:
 A circular disk-like structure;   Said circular disk-like structure made of solid material through which liquids will not flow;   A said blocking area on said circular disk-like structure near the circular edge of said structure and essentially halfway between the ends of a diameter crease;   Said circular disk-like structure having said small holes evenly spaced on said circular surface through which liquid can freely flow;   Said small holes are absent from said blocking area.   
     
     
         8 . A system as in  claim 7  further comprising:
 Said circular disk-like structure operative to flexibly fit into an existing press-on lid and remain held in place through firm contact with the sides of said press-on lid. 
 
     
     
         9 . A system as in  claim 7  further comprising:
 Said circular disk-like structure sized so that when said flexibly fit in a said existing press-on lid, and remain said held in place through said firm contact with the said sides of said press-on lid, said circular disk-like structure will not be able to lay flush against said press-on lid top, but instead will be angularly displaced away from said press-on lid top when said diameter crease is flush against said press-on lid top. 
 
     
     
         10 . A system as in  claim 7  further comprising:
 A said pillar like structure, or plurality of said pillar like structures, near said circular edge and perpendicular to said adapter's surface operative to act as a standoff which angularly displaces the said circular edge away from said press-on lid top when said diameter crease is flush against said press-on lid top. 
 
     
     
         11 . A system comprising:
 A circular structure with an edge structure operative to provide a snug fit with the top lip of a container;   Said circular structure made of solid material through which liquids will not flow;   A said blocking area on said circular structure near the circular edge of said structure;   Said circular structure having said small holes evenly spaced on said circular surface through which liquid can freely flow;   Said small holes are absent from said blocking area.
