A dispenser for dispensing a fluid includes a rigid vial that has a main fluid chamber containing a fluid, and a pump assembly that is in fluid communication with the main fluid chamber and is configured to dispense a predetermined quantity of fluid from the main fluid chamber. A flexible bladder is provided which is located within the main fluid chamber and is configured to expand to fill the ullage created within the main fluid chamber during dispensing of fluid by the pump assembly. The resilient bladder tends to force itself outwardly toward the rigid vial and, in turn, increases the pressure within the main fluid chamber in comparison to the interior of the bladder to thereby prevent the ingress of air or vapors through the bladder or otherwise into the main fluid chamber.

The present disclosure relates to a composite storage bin comprising a frame and a sack body: the frame comprises four U-shaped elbows with identical designs in length and bending for cubic contouring and multidirectional placement of the assembled frame; the sack body mounted on the assembled frame coordinates an orientation of placing the frame to deflect an opening of the sack body upward or sideways. The sack body, which is internally hung in or externally encloses the frame, has an opening around which positioning units stopped at elbows are prepared for supporting and positioning the sack body.

A kit for use in combination with a squeeze bottle includes a bottle cap or plug configured to seat and seal multiple sizes of a bottle opening or spout by threaded attachment to or compression fit in the spout. The cap or plug includes an axial throughbore which receives multiple sizes and configurations of fluid tubes and discharge nozzles which when properly attached to an inserted into a squeeze bottle enables controlled pumping and discharge of fluid such as hydraulic fluid or liquids.

A vault system is provided that secures a brace to the underside of a vault lid to improve the performance of the lid when the lid is subject to external loads. The vault has guiding features to receive a brace and place the brace in a particular position. Then, a vault lid is pressed into the vault, and tabs on the vault lid deflect into receiving portions on the ends of the brace to secure the brace to the vault lid. The resulting vault lid is reinforced with a brace. In some embodiments, the guiding feature comprises a rib in a recess in the brace, and in various embodiments, the tabs have an arm and a hook disposed on a distal end of the arm. The tab arms deflect to fit around the end of the brace, then an undercut on the hook secures the brace to the lid.

A flexible thermoformed dispensing package for a flowable material includes an integrally formed dispensing tube extending from the container portion having an internal extension spaced apart from the side walls defining a recessed chamber defined by a pair of integral thermoformed walls extending from the bottom surface of the container chamber and terminating proximate the base when the package is in a vertical position to facilitate sipping of a beverage from the container portion; alternatively, a straw is placed in the dispensing tube to reach the base of the package. In another embodiment, at least one integrally formed internal dividing wall extends from the sealed end of the dispensing tube and intersects an interior wall to define separate dispensing chambers, where the sealed ends of each of the dispensing chambers can be independently opened along a weakened transverse parting line and separated into separate dispensing channels along a longitudinal parting line.

Disclosed is a method for making a flexible container. The method implements an injection mold having a collapsible core that expands/moves to define the apertures and, in some embodiments, holds a flexible film in place during the injection mold process and collapses/moves back post-injection molding to allow for the flexible container to be readily removed from the die. In addition, the method described includes a post-injection molding anneal process that is implemented to allow the flexible film to shrink so as to provide for form-fitting of the film to the molded portion of the container.

A collapsible jug includes an upper member defining an opening and having a spout at a first side of the upper member. The jug has a lower member defining a base, and a collapsible side wall extending between the upper and lower members. The jug has a link that has a first end pivotally attached to the upper member at a second side of the upper member. The container is alterable between a collapsed configuration wherein the side wall is collapsed and a second end of the link is releasably attached to the spout such that the lower member is releasably retained between the link and the upper member and an in-use configuration wherein the side wall is extended and the second end of the link is releasably attached to the lower member such that the upper and lower members are releasably retained in a spaced apart configuration.

A shoebox fabricated from non-rigid, fashionable material which makes it stylish and utilizing more rigid, wall height corner brackets that give it structural definition and functionality.
