A soap dispenser can be configured to dispense an amount of liquid soap, for example, upon detecting the presence of an object. Certain embodiments of the dispenser include a housing, reservoir, pump, motor, sensor, electronic processor, and nozzle. In certain embodiments, the sensor can be configured to generate a signal based on a distance between an object and the sensor. In certain embodiments, the electronic processor can be configured to receive the signal from the sensor and to determine a dispensation volume of the liquid. The dispensation volume can vary as a function of the distance between the object and the sensor. The processor can be configured to control the motor to dispense approximately the dispensation volume of the liquid.

A crate includes a base and a plurality of walls including a front wall. The front wall is movable between a retracted, open position and a closed position. In some embodiments, the front wall includes a frame, a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is hingeably connected to the frame and the second portion is hingeably connected to the first portion.

A dispenser adapted to be mounted to a structure wall and to allow consumables to be dispensed from a consumables box, the dispenser comprising a front wall, at least one back wall, first and second walls, and at least one support wall. The front wall defines and extends completely around an aperture. The first and second walls each extend between the front wall and the at least one back wall. The at least one support wall extends from at least one of the front wall, the at least one back wall, and the first and second walls. The consumables box is supported by the at least one support wall such that a first portion defined by the at least one back wall is configured to engage the consumables box and a second portion defined by one of the first and second walls is configured to engage the consumables box.

An e-cigarette PV that includes an air pressure valve or device so that excess air can escape from an e-liquid reservoir in the PV when that reservoir is being filled under pressure with e-liquid from a parent reservoir. The valve or device is a barrier made of an air-porous material, such as a sintered polymer or metal, coated with or otherwise including a barrier or layer of an air-porous substance that is not porous to e-liquid, such as an oleophobic material or a hydrophobic or super-hydrophobic material. The oleophobic material is one of: sintered phosphor bronze, sintered stainless steel and sintered PU plastic.

What is disclosed is a container for transporting and storing goods, having a floor and side walls extending from the floor. In accordance with the invention, at least one of the side walls or a part thereof is formed by a grid-like structure which is extensible and compressible or able to be pulled apart and squeezed together at least in one direction and within the side wall plane so as to demarcate or to close the container toward the side in a first position and to release the container toward the side in a second position.

A support device for a container holding various items and a container including a support device. The support device includes a top section, a base section and a pair of foldable strut assemblies connected diagonally between the top section and the base section. The top section either forms a portion of the container or the container is mounted on the top section. Each strut assembly includes a pair of legs pivotably connected together and configured to automatically pivot to an extended position when the support device is held above a support surface and a release mechanism actuated, whereupon the base section drops with respect to the top section into engagement with the support surface. A biasing mechanism is provided to assist in pivoting the legs to the extended position and holding the legs in that position.

A pressure actuated pressure relief valve is disposed in the body of a beverage vessel and is configured to be in fluidic communication with an exterior of the beverage vessel and an interior of the beverage vessel. The pressure actuated pressure relief valve being configured to actuate from a closed position to an open position based on pressure reaching a threshold within the interior of the beverage vessel. The pressure actuated pressure relief valve being configured to actuate from the open position to the closed position based on pressure falling below the threshold within the interior of the beverage vessel.

The present invention relates to containers which can be stacked one on top of another whilst still permitting easy access to the contents of any container within the stack without the need for de-stacking. The contents of the containers remain secured within the container.
