A system and method for mixing compounds is disclosed. Accordingly to one embodiment a transfer device is provided that allows for diluent from a syringe to be introduced into a container having a first compound (e.g., powder) in a sterile manner. In second and third embodiments, systems are shown for combining and mixing first and second compounds contained in first and second containers in a sterile manner. Various dropper tips for dispensing the mixed compounds are disclosed.

A metal end for seaming onto a metal container body. The end comprises an outer curl, a centre panel within the outer curl, and a tab having a longitudinal axis (A). The end further comprises a rivet securing the tab to the centre panel, and a score in the centre panel having two spaced apart ends which define a hinge therebetween, the hinge lying on one side of said longitudinal axis (A), such that operation of the tab fractures the score and causes the region of the centre panel within the score to pivot about the hinge and provide an aperture in the centre panel. The score extends into a region of the centre panel that is behind a centre line (B) running through the centre of the rivet and perpendicular to said longitudinal axis (A), and on the other side of the longitudinal axis (A) from the hinge.

The safety opening cap of the present disclosure is a safety opening cap for opening a can lid of a can including, a protruding rim formed to protrude from an upper part of a can in which food is stored, a can lid formed inside the protruding rim and covering the upper part of the can, and a tab having one side coupled to the can lid, wherein the safety opening cap includes, a cap body forming a main body, an outer wall extended downwards from an outer peripheral surface of the cap body, a tab lifting part formed to be protruding from an upper surface of the cap body by a predetermined thickness and having an inclined surface, and a tab passing means formed on the upper surface of the cap body for forming a space in which the tab can be inserted when the cap body is pressed downwards.

Disclosed herein is an improved metal or glass container. The metal or glass container includes a body portion and an end closure. The end closure includes a laminated polymer film attached to the product facing side of the end closure. When the container is sealed, the laminated polymer film attached to the product facing side of the end closure forms a liner.

A combination shipping carton and display stand contains a number of items such as pouches, bags, containers or products to be displayed for retail sale, distribution or other purposes. The carton serves as a shipping container for transport and/or storage of the products. When the products are to be displayed for retail sale or distribution, an upper shipping portion of the carton is removed by tear strips to expose the products in a display stand. The products are arranged and maintained in an orderly fashion by a pair of wedges inside of the carton and formed by the carton material to cant the products for enhanced display to the consumer.

A container includes a body having a cavity for containing contents. The container includes a flange arranged about a perimeter of the body a cover is affixed to the flange for enclosing the contents within the cavity, and a fracturable portion including a bend extending across the body bisecting the body into a first and second body portions. The fracturable portion defines a break path along which the body is adapted to fracture when a user applies a force exceeding a predetermined level. The break path has an initiating fracture point and a pair of termini, at each of the flange portions, to fracture from the fracture point in opposing directions along the break path towards each terminus. The fracturable portion has a plurality of fracture conductors spaced apart along the break path defining a localized change in rigidity of the fracturable portion to guide propagation of the fracture.

A drawn aluminum can shell has a peripheral crown which is double-seamed with an end portion of an aluminum can body to provide a can end having a generally flat center panel connected by an inclined curved or straight panel wall to an inner wall of an annular U-shaped countersink. The countersink has an outer wall which connects with a lower wall portion of a chuck wall, and the chuck wall has an upper wall portion which connects with an inner wall of the crown. The chuck wall also has an intermediate wall portion forming a break, and the inner bottom width of the countersink is less than the radial width of the panel wall.

A can closure includes a body with a center panel and a peripheral curl. The can closure body has one of a reduced panel depth, a very reduced panel depth, an extremely reduced panel depth, or a beverage can reduced panel depth.

A device is provided that assists with equalizing air pressure within a container with the atmospheric air pressure as liquid is being poured from the container and includes one or more relatively short air tubes. The device is provided with the ability to simultaneously equalize pressure in the container while also providing a drip collection mechanism. The device may be configured for unidirectional pouring or multi-directional pouring.
