Abstract:
A container has on a neck portion thereof an external thread for a screw cap and, above the thread a sloping plane in the form of a spiral running around the outside of the container neck over an angle of 360 degrees. A head piece fitted into the container neck has a cylindrical part which bears on the inner side of the container neck and is held firmly on the container neck by a groove-bead connection formed on the outside of the cylindrical and on the inner side of the container neck. A cylindrical part of larger diameter, connected in one piece with the cylindrical part of the head piece, encloses the container neck on the outer side thereof and has on the inner side a sloping plane in the form of a peripheral spiral. The spiral surfaces lie on one another like the flanks of a thread. When the head piece is turned, therefore, the groove-bead connection is released by a wedge effect. The head piece can be removed for reuse of the container by being refilled. The head piece has a cup-shaped part which is connected in one piece at the center with the cylindrical parts and in which there are formed slit nozzles for the medium to be discharged.
Abstract:
A collapsible wall closure for a dispenser nozzle comprised of a stiff but resilient tube section adapted to be bent over and latched in the bent position to provide a fluid tight closure of the nozzle by collapse of the tube wall. The interior of the nozzle tube is undercut in the region of the wall collapse on either side of the tube along the fold line of the tube, in order to provide complete sealing collapse of the tube wall in the bent position. The undercuts are comprised of shallow grooves extending axially along the tube interior thinning the tube wall thickness in the region of the wall collapse. A pair of closures are incorporated in a cap closure particularly adapted to an ammonia hydroxide container for connection to vapor-type diazo reproduction machines.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate to a self-orienting handle assembly that is oriented in a predetermined direction relative to a lid when the lid is screwed onto a container. The handle assembly includes a locking structure that locks onto a counterpart locking structure of the lid as the lid is screwed onto the container. The locking structure may include at least one of a protrusion or a notch, and the counterpart locking structure may have an inverse shape. When the lid is screwed onto the container, the locking structure engages the counterpart locking structure and cause the handle assembly to rotate with the lid. When the lid is screwed onto the container, the locking structure locks onto the counterpart locking structure, and thereby prevents the handle assembly from rotating relative to the lid.
Abstract:
Drink bottles, or drink containers with cap assemblies that include a drink spout. The drink spout is pivotally coupled to a base of the cap assembly and includes a mouthpiece. In some embodiments, the cap assembly includes a dust cover configured to at least partially cover the mouthpiece when the mouthpiece and pivotal mount are in the stowed position. In some embodiments, the cap assembly includes a dispensing guard configured to at least partially cover the dispensing outlet when the mouthpiece and pivotal mount are in the stowed position. In some embodiments, the cap assembly includes a handle, which may include at least one guard for the drink spout and/or mouthpiece.
Abstract:
Drink bottles, or drink containers with cap assemblies that include a drink spout. In some embodiments, the drink spout is pivotally coupled to a base of the cap assembly. In some embodiments, the drink spouts include mouthpieces, including self-sealing and/or bite-actuated mouthpieces. In some embodiments, the cap assembly includes a handle, which may include at least one guard for the drink spout and/or mouthpiece. In some embodiments, the drink containers include a manual on/off valve. In some embodiments, the dispensing spout includes a mount for the mouthpiece and/or cooperates with the cap to provide a manual on/off valve to selectively restrict flow of drink fluid from the drink container regardless of the drink spout's and/or mouthpiece's configuration. In some embodiments, the drink containers include a drink tube extending from external of the drink containers and/or an air return system.
Abstract:
A lid with a straw for a beverage container is described. The lid includes a supporting structure to house the straw. The lid includes a door structure to close the straw. The door structure is rotatably or pivotally connected to the supporting structure. The lid includes a vent to prevent a vacuum from forming in the interior of the beverage container. The door structure also bends the straw to cover the vent in order to close the vent. The supporting structure positions the straw at an optimal angle towards a user's mouth when the straw is released from the supporting structure by opening the door structure.
Abstract:
A cover device (2) for a drink container comprises a basic assembly (9) which is provided with a drink opening (32), and a valve arrangement (20) for blocking or unblocking a passage to the drink opening (32) from a drink container side of the cover device (2). The valve arrangement (20) comprises a valve element (26) having two portions (27, 28) which are connected to each other through an area of the valve element (26) at a position where the valve element (26) is hingably associated with the basic assembly (9), and wherein only one of the two portions (27, 28) is in direct communication with the drink opening (32) of the basic assembly (9), so that a smallest total moment of force may be realized on the one portion (28) when the valve element (26) is subjected to pressure from the drink container side of the cover device (2).
Abstract:
A drainable ostomy pouch includes a collection portion and a drain chute portion extending from the collection portion and having a discharge opening for permitting emptying of contents from the pouch. The drain chute is foldable between an open condition in which the drain chute portion is extended from the collection portion, and a closed condition in which the drain chute portion is folded towards the collection portion. At least one flap retains the folded drain chute portion.
Abstract:
A bottle for the creation, storage, administration and dispensing of elemental iodine is disclosed. An amount of crystal iodine is safely housed at the bottom of the bottle. Water is poured into the bottle and contacts with the crystal iodine to form elemental iodine. With the crystal iodine safely secured at the bottom of the housing, the formed elemental iodine maintains contact with the crystal iodine to maintain its stability and extends is shelf life. Several dispensing device are also disclosed for dispensing or administering the elemental iodine, as needed, in order to treat internal and external areas of a human's or animal's body.
