Bottles and containers and methods of use have been disclosed. In an aspect, the bottle comprises a body that includes a first end forming a first aperture and a second end forming a second aperture. The first aperture has a first diameter and the second aperture has a second diameter. The first diameter can be larger than the second diameter. The bottle further includes a first cap removably coupled to the first end of the body and a second cap removably coupled to the second end of the body.

A method for forming a device that is releasably attachable to a ferromagnetic surface comprises providing an object formed from one or more flexible or compressible materials, positioning a magnet between the object and a heat-activated adhesive patch, and applying heat and pressure to the patch to fuse the patch to the object around the magnet.

An apparatus configured for mixing the contents of one or more fluid containers includes a fluid container support platform configured to hold one or more fluid containers. The fluid container support platform is configured to index the container to one or more specified locations and to be moved in an orbital path about an orbital center independently of the rotation about the central axis of rotation. The apparatus further includes an indexing drive system configured to effect indexing movement of the container support platform and a vortex drive system configured to effect powered orbital movement of the container support platform about the orbital center. An evaporation limiting insert placed within containers reduces exposure of the fluid contents of the container to atmospheric air, thereby reducing susceptibility of the fluid contents to evaporation.

A portable bottle for pet includes a bottle body and a bottle lid. The upper end of the bottle lid has a flexible bowl member which is capable of being selectively unfolded or downfolded, wherein the bottom portion of the bottle lid is connected with the bottle body. The bottle lid comprises a movable blocking arrangement. An upper end of the movable blocking arrangement is connected to the liquid port of the bottom portion of the flexible bowl member and the lower end of the movable blocking arrangement is connected to a supplying pipe in the bottle body. The functions of the portable bottle for pet integrates bottle and bowl, providing a good ability of preventing leaking out, sealing during porting, blocking water during drinking, and enabling water flowing back to the bottle body so as to reduce the waste of water.

Glass decanters and protective shells for glass decanters are described herein. An example apparatus includes a glass decanter and a protective shell including a first shell portion and a second shell portion couplable with the first shell portion. When the first and second shell portions are coupled, the first and second shell portions form a cavity in which the decanter is to be disposed and which completely encases the decanter.

A rackable receptacle dispenser system has a racking body and a wrap coupled to the racking body. The racking body has a rear wall having a front face and a rear face, a bottom wall extending orthogonally in a front direction from the front face, and means for detachably coupling the racking body to a rack support. The bottom wall defines an aperture. The wrap comprises a wall that extends orthogonally upward from the bottom wall, and that defines an interior compartment. The system includes a container comprising a body and a dispensing aperture. The container is configured to hold a liquid and to dispense the liquid through the dispensing aperture. The system is configured to hold the container in the interior compartment with the dispensing aperture extending through the aperture defined in the bottom wall.

A dual hanging device for hanging tools in a jug and the jug to a ladder includes a rod, which is resiliently flexible and comprises a medial segment, which is engaged to and disposed between first and second segments. The rod is shaped so that the rod can be inserted of into a jug, which has a cutout positioned in a front thereof proximate to a top thereof. The first segment is inserted such that it extends through a hollow handle of the jug. The medial segment protrudes through a top of the jug to define a hanging hook, which can selectively hook to an element of a ladder. The second segment is disposed within the jug proximate to the cutout to define a set of tool hooks. A respective tool hook can selectively engage a tool so that the tool is removably engaged thereto.

A liquid dispenser apparatus having a back plate, a housing, and a liquid dispenser unit, the housing and backplate being constructed to attach to one another, the housing and liquid dispenser unit being constructed such that the liquid dispenser unit is removably installable into the housing and pivotally mounted with respect thereto such that the dispenser unit can be pivoted to a selected acute filling angle with respect to the housing.

A bottle with sensors for probing and optimizing bottling line performance is disclosed. According to one embodiment a bottle, comprises an outer layer and a reservoir tube inside the outer layer that connects a reservoir inside the outer layer to a neck of the bottle. The bottle has a battery inside the outer layer and one or more sensors powered by the battery.
