     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The disclosed container adapter lids will become better understood through a review of the following detailed description in conjunction with the figures. The detailed description and figures provide merely examples of the various embodiments described herein. Those skilled in the art will understand that the disclosed examples may be varied, modified, and altered without departing from the scope of the embodiments described herein. Many variations are contemplated for different applications and design considerations; however, for the sake of brevity, each and every contemplated variation is not individually described in the following detailed description. 
     Throughout the following detailed description, examples of various container adapter lids are provided. Related features in the examples may be identical, similar, or dissimilar in different examples. For the sake of brevity, related features will not be redundantly explained in each example. Instead, the use of related feature names will cue the reader that the feature with a related feature name may be similar to the related feature in an example explained previously. Features specific to a given example will be described in that particular example. The reader should understand that a given feature need not be the same or similar to the specific portrayal of a related feature in any given figure or example. 
     Individuals may use containers to store, display, and organize a variety of objects. The containers may vary in size, shape, material, functionality, and so forth. For example, the jars may be used to store a number of assorted items. Decorative jars, such as Mason jars, apothecary jars, and jelly jars may be used to store, display, and organize objects. The objects may include food, liquids, cannabis, medication, lights, miscellaneous objects, and so forth. 
     Individuals may use different containers to store objects based on the aesthetic nature of the container. For example, the decorative elements of Mason jars make them popular ornamental motifs. Objects may be stored in Mason jars to highlight an aesthetic nature of the objects and the Mason jar. Lights may be positioned in, or adjacent to, the jars to illuminate the contents of the jars in an aesthetically-pleasing manner. 
     The Mason jars may also have functional advantages for storing objects. For example, conventional Mason jars are transparent or translucent. When objects are stored in the Mason jars, an individual may be able to see the objects within the Mason jar to determine an amount of the object left in the Mason jar or a status of the object in the Mason jar without opening the Mason jar. For example, when Mason jars are used to store a food or a liquid, an individual may visually inspect the food or the liquid within the Mason jars to determine an amount of food within the Mason jar and whether the food or liquid appears to be fresh and edible. Mason jars may also provide a food safe container to foods and liquids, as the glass material may be non-porous and the material of the Mason jars may not leach onto the food or liquid. The Mason jars may also repel odors so that the Mason jars may be reused to store different foods or liquids without contaminating the foods or the liquids with the previous objects stored in the Mason jars. 
     While containers, such as Mason jars, may provide several benefits for storing, displaying, and organizing objects, conventional Mason jar lids may limit the type of objects that are stored in the Mason jars. For example, storing a food or a liquid in a Mason jar long term may be difficult as sealing a lid to a Mason jar may be a prolonged and arduous process of heating and cooling the Mason jar with the lid. Additionally, conventional lids must be removed to access objects stored in the Mason jars. When the lid is removed, the objects stored in the Mason jar may be exposed to a large amount of air, which may spoil or ruin the objects over a period of time. The conventional Mason jar lids may also be a hindrance when removing the objects, such as food or liquid, from the Mason jars and the relatively large mouth of the Mason jars may make it difficult for an individual to remove the food or the liquid from the Mason jars. For example, the relatively large mouth of the Mason jar may make it difficult to pour the food or the liquid from the Mason jars. 
     The embodiments described herein may address the above-noted deficiencies by providing a container jar lid. The container jar lid may include a gasket and an adapter lid. The gasket may form a seal between a container and the adapter lid. The adapter lid may include an opening to receive one or more lid accessories. The container adapter lid may include the container band that may fasten the gasket and the adapter lid to the container. 
       FIG. 1A  shows a container system  100  with a container  102  and container lid adapter  104 , according to an embodiment. The container  102  may include a body  106 , a neck  108 , and an opening  110 . The body  106  of the container  102  may include a cavity to store an object. In one example, the object may be food, food ingredients, dried food, food storage items, and so forth. In another example, the object may be a liquid, such as wine, beer, soda, water, vinegar, olive oil, vegetable oil, and so forth. In another example, the object may be a toy, buttons, keys, lights, and so forth. The neck  108  may connect to a top portion of the body  106 . For example, the body  106  may be a cylindrical body with a relatively flat base. The cylindrical body may extend from the base and a top portion of the body  106 . The neck  108  may connect to the top portion of the body  106 . In one example, the body  106  may taper inward toward the neck  108 .

     The container lid adapter  104  may include a gasket  116 , an adapter lid  118 , a container band  130 , and an adapter  124 . The gasket  116  may be shaped to attach to the rim  114  of the container  102 . For example, the rim  114  and the gasket  116  may be circle shaped and a diameter of the gasket  116  may be equal to or greater to a diameter of the rim  114 . The gasket  116  may be placed on a top surface of the rim  114  to form a seal between the rim  114  and the gasket  116 . In one embodiment, the gasket  116  may include a hole  117 . The hole  117  may be less than the diameter of the rim  114 . In one example, the hole  117  may be located at approximately a center of the gasket  116  or at the center of the gasket  116 . The hole  117  may provide an opening for objects to pass through to be placed in the cavity of the body  106  or be retrieved from the body  106 . 
     The gasket  116  and/or the adapter lid  119  may be circular shaped, oval shaped, square shaped, rectangular shaped, or another polygon shape. The adapter lid  118  may be shaped to attach to the gasket  116 . For example, the adapter lid  118  may be placed on top of the gasket  116 . In one embodiment, the adapter lid  118  may be shaped to attach to the gasket  116 . In another embodiment, the adapter lid  118  may also rest with the gasket  116  on the rim  114 . For example, the adapter lid  118  and the gasket  116  may be circle shaped. In one embodiment, a diameter of the adapter lid  118  may be equal to or greater to a diameter of the gasket  116 . In another embodiment, a diameter of the adapter lid  118  may be equal to or greater to a diameter of the rim  114 . 
     In one example, a bottom surface of the gasket  116  may be placed on the top surface of the rim  114 . In another example, a bottom surface of the adapter lid  118  may be placed on a top surface of the gasket  116  to form a seal between the adapter lid  118  and the gasket  116 . The adapter lid  118  may include an opening  120 . The opening  120  may be less than the diameter of the rim  114 . The opening  120  may provide an opening or channel for objects to pass through for an individual to place in the cavity of the body  106  or retrieve from the body  106 . In one embodiment, the opening  120  may be located at the center of the adapter lid  118  or approximate to the center of the adapter lid  118 . In another embodiment, the opening may be located off center of the adapter lid  118 . 
     The adapter lid  118  may include an opening wall  122  formed around at least a first portion of the opening  120 . In one embodiment, the opening wall  122  may extend from a top surface of the adapter lid  118 . In one example, the opening wall  122  may form a dome or cone shaped wall around the opening  120 . In another example, the opening wall  122  may for a cylinder around the opening  120 . In another example, the opening wall  122  may be tapered at an angle at from an outer portion or edge of the top surface of the adapter lid  118  to the opening  120  of the adapter lid  118 . 
     The opening  120  and the opening wall  122  may be shaped to receive an adapter  124 . For example, a diameter of the opening  120  may be approximately the same as a diameter of at least a bottom portion of the adapter  124 . In one example, the diameter may be within the range of approximately 13.5 millimeters (mm) to 18.5 mm. For example, the adapter  124  may include a bottom portion  126  and a top portion  128 . In one embodiment, a diameter or size of the bottom portion  126  may be approximately the same diameter or size as the top portion  128 . In another embodiment, a diameter or size of bottom portion  126  may be less than a diameter or size of the top portion  128 . When the adapter is inserted into the opening  120 , the bottom portion may be inserted into the opening  120 . The opening wall  122  may encircle or circumscribe at least part of the sides of the adapter  124  to hold the adapter  124  in place within the opening  120 . The adapter  124  may be a bottle stopper, a liquid pourer, a wine pourer, a wine aerator, a stopper, a vacuum seal attachment, a fermentation spout, a one way valve, a metered pour spout, and so forth. 
     The container band  130  may be a ring or band that may attach to the neck  108  of the container  102 . The container band  130  (also referred to as a screw band) may be a flat, thin strip or loop of material that may be shaped to fit around the gasket  116  and the adapter lid  118 . For example, the container band  130  may include threads that may screw onto the threads  112  of the neck  108 . A diameter of the container band  130  may be greater than a diameter of the gasket  116  and the adapter lid  118  to fit over top of the gasket  116  and the adapter lid  118  and attach to the neck  108  of the container  102 . For example, the container band  130  may fit over top of the gasket  116  and the adapter lid  118  and screw onto the threads  112  of the neck  108  of the container  102 . 
     As the container band  130  is screwed onto the threads  112 , the container band  130  may compress the gasket  116  and the adapter lid  118  to form a seal between the rim  114 , the gasket  116 , the adapter lid  118 , and/or the container band  130 . For example, the container band  130  may include threads along an inner perimeter of the container band  130  and the container  102  may include threads along an outer perimeter of the neck  108 . When the container band  130  is screwed onto the threads  112 , the container band  130  may compress an outer perimeter of the gasket  116  and the adapter lid  118  to seal against the rim  114  of the container  102 . In another embodiment, the gasket  116  and the adapter lid  118  may be compressed against the rim  114  by downward pressure from a vacuum seal. For example, the adapter  124  may be a vacuum seal adapter that removes the air from the container  102 . As the air is removed from the container  102 , the lack of air may create a vacuum that may seal, such as a hermetic seal, the gasket  116  and adapter lid  118  against the rim  114 . 
     In one embodiment, the container band  130  may connect to the neck  108  of the container  102  by a friction fit, a compression fit, epoxy, a fastener, and so forth. In one example, the container band  130  may include threads to connect with the threads  112  of the container  102 .

       FIG. 7B  shows a top perspective view of the lid  700  in  FIG. 7A , according to an embodiment. Some of the features in  FIG. 7B  are the same or similar to some of the features in  FIGS. 1A-1B, 2A-2D, 3A-3C, 4, 5, 6A-6B, and 7A  as noted by the same reference numbers, unless expressly described otherwise. In one embodiment, the lid  700  may be cylinder shaped. For example, the sidewalls  704  may be cylinder sidewalls that extend around a circumference of the lid  700 . The opening wall  122  may extend along the top of the lid  700  and attach to sidewalls  704  to form a top and side of the lid  700 . 
       FIG. 7C  shows a bottom view of lid  700  in  FIG. 7A , according to an embodiment. Some of the features in  FIG. 7B  are the same or similar to some of the features in  FIGS. 1A-1B, 2A-2D, 3A-3C, 4, 5, 6A-6B, and 7A-7B  as noted by the same reference numbers, unless expressly described otherwise. In one embodiment, the gasket  116  may run along a channel or indent  706  that runs along a bottom outer edge of the body  702  of the lid  700 . The gasket  116  may have approximately the same diameter as the rim  114  or the neck  108  of the container  102  in  FIG. 1A . The opening  120  may extend from the top of the body  702  to the bottom of the body  702 . The container band  130  may be located within the circumference of the gasket  116 . 
       FIG. 8A  shows a side cross-sectional view of the adapter lid  118  with a pressure indicator  806 , according to an embodiment. Some of the features in  FIG. 8A  are the same or similar to some of the features in  FIGS. 1A-1B, 2A-2D, 3A-3C, 4, 5, 6A-6B, and 7A-7C  as noted by the same reference numbers, unless expressly described otherwise. The adapter lid  118  may include the opening  120  with an opening wall  802  and a support wall  804 . The opening wall  802  may circumscribe the opening  120  and be formed to receive the adapter  124 . The support wall  804  may be approximate the opening wall  802  and provide additional support to the opening  120  to receive the adapter  124 . In one embodiment, the opening wall  802  and the support wall  804  may be separated by the pressure indicator  806 . 
     In one example, the pressure indicator  806  may be a gap between the opening wall  802  and the support wall  804  and a portion of the opening wall  802 . The portion of the opening wall  802  may be colored to provide a visual indicator as discussed below. The opening wall  802  may slide up and down along the gap as pressure is applied to the adapter lid  118 . For example, when an amount of pressure applied to the adapter lid  118  is below a threshold amount, the opening wall  802  may be in a popped-up position where a bottom of the opening wall  802  is approximately flush with a bottom  808  of the support wall  804 . When the opening wall  802  may be in a popped up position, there may be a space between a portion of the opening wall  802  and a portion of the support wall  804 . The space may show a visual indicator, such as a colored portion of the opening wall  802  that indicates that there is no pressure seal between the adapter lid  118  and a container. In one example, the adapter  124  may be a vacuum seal attachment that may be connected to the adapter lid  118 . When a vacuum seal fails or the vacuum seal is not formed, the pressure indicator  806  may be in the popped-up position to indicate that there is not a vacuum seal between the adapter lid  118  and the container. 
       FIG. 8B  shows a side cross-sectional view of the adapter lid  118  with the pressure indicator  806  in a depressed position, according to an embodiment. Some of the features in  FIG. 8B  are the same or similar to some of the features in  FIGS. 1A-1B, 2A-2D, 3A-3C, 4, 5, 6A-6B, 7A-7C, and 8A  as noted by the same reference numbers, unless expressly described otherwise. As discussed above, the opening wall  802  may slide up and down along the gap as pressure is applied to the adapter lid  118 . When an amount of pressure applied to the adapter lid  118  exceeds a threshold amount, the opening wall  802  may be in a depressed position where a bottom of the opening wall  802  depresses below a bottom  808  of the support wall  804 . When the opening wall  802  in the depressed position there may be no space or a minimal space between a portion of the opening wall  802  and a portion of the support wall  804 . When the space is not visible, the visual indicator indicates that there is a pressure seal between the adapter lid  118  and a container. In one example, the adapter  124  may be a vacuum seal attachment that may be connected to the adapter lid  118 . 
     When a vacuum seal vacuum seal is formed between the adapter lid  118  and the container, the pressure indicator  806  may be in the depressed position to indicate that there is a vacuum seal between the adapter lid  118  and the container. When the adapter lid  118  is in the depressed position, the bottom of the opening wall  802  and/or the support wall  804  may be flexed or pulled downward. As the bottom of the opening wall  802  and/or the support wall  804  may be flexed or pulled downward, a rigidity or structure of the adapter lid  118  may apply upward pressure on the opening wall  802  and/or the support wall  804 . When the amount of vacuum pressure on the opening wall  802  and/or the support wall  804  is below the threshold amount, the upward pressure on the opening wall  802  and/or the support wall  804  may cause the opening wall  802  and/or the support wall  804  to pop up and the opening wall  802  to be in the popped-up position. 
       FIG. 8C  shows a side cross-sectional view of the adapter lid  118  with the pressure indicator  806  that includes an exertion device  810 , according to an embodiment. Some of the features in  FIG. 8C  are the same or similar to some of the features in  FIGS. 1A-1B, 2A-2D, 3A-3C, 4, 5, 6A-6B, 7A-7C, and 8A-8B  as noted by the same reference numbers, unless expressly described otherwise. In one example, the adapter lid  118  may include the exertion device  810 . For example, the exertion device  810  may be an elastic band, flexible band, or other device that may apply upward pressure against the opening wall  802 . 
     In one embodiment, the exertion device  810  may be integrated into the opening wall  802  and the support wall  804 . In another embodiment, the exertion device may connect the opening wall  802  to the support wall  804 . In one example, when a threshold amount of vacuum pressure is applied to the adapter lid  118 , the opening wall  802  may be sucked downward and the opening wall  802  may be depressed. When the opening wall  802  is in the depressed position, the exertion device  810  may be flexed downwardly as well, creating upward pressure that is lower than the amount of downward pressure. When the upward pressure created by the exertion device  810  exceed the downward pressure by the vacuum seal, the opening wall  802  may switch to the popped up position, indicating that there is not a seal between the adapter lid  118  and the container. The exertion device  810  may also provide structural support to the adapter lid  118  to reduce or eliminate a depression of the support wall  804  and other portions of the adapter lid  118  besides the opening wall  802 . 
       FIG. 8D  shows a side view of the adapter lid  118  with the pressure indicator  806  that includes and exertion device  810 , according to an embodiment. Some of the features in  FIG. 8D  are the same or similar to some of the features in  FIGS. 1A-1B, 2A-2D, 3A-3C, 4A-4B, 5, 6A-6B, 7A-7C, and 8A-8B  as noted by the same reference numbers, unless expressly described otherwise. In one embodiment, the exertion device  810  may be integrated into the opening wall  802  and the support wall  804 . In another embodiment, the exertion device  810  may be exposed and visible to a user. When the exertion device  810  is exposed and visible to the user, the exertion device  810  may also indicate to the user whether the opening wall  802  is in the popped up position or the depressed position. As the exertion device may exert upward pressure on the opening wall  802 , the exertion device may reduce an amount of false positives from the opening wall  802  not popping up when the downward pressure is below the threshold amount.
