A fluid transfer hub has a first vessel closure, a second vessel closure, a gasket arranged between the first vessel closure and the second vessel closure, and a clamp at least partially surrounding the first vessel closure, the second vessel closure, and the gasket. The first vessel closure has a first body, one or more apertures extending axially through the first body, one or more first inserts extending axially through the one or more apertures, and a cast seal disposed within the first body and surrounding each first insert. The second vessel closure has a second body, one or more apertures extending axially through the second body, one or more second inserts extending axially through the one or more apertures, and a cast seal disposed within the second body and surrounding each second insert.

A beverage dispensing system includes a cabinet with a dispensing station. The cabinet includes therein a refrigeration system, a cooling fluid system, and a refrigerated compartment having therein a cooling system and a beverage source coupled with the dispensing station. The cooling fluid system circulates a cooling fluid through the refrigeration system such that the refrigeration system cools the cooling fluid. The cooling fluid system further normally circulates the cooling fluid through the dispensing station to cool beverage therein. The cooling fluid system directs the cooling fluid from the dispensing station to the cooling system when necessary to cool the refrigerated compartment. A beverage fluid system resides in the cooling fluid system between the beverage source and the dispensing station such that the cooling fluid system cools beverage flowing through the beverage fluid system prior to delivery of beverage to the dispensing station for dispensing therefrom.

A frame for a shippable container is provided, where the shippable container has a hollow body, an opening, and a collar adjacent the opening. The frame has a collar engagement portion configured to engage the collar of the shippable container and a body engagement portion configured to engage a portion of the hollow body of the shippable container. The collar engagement portion and/or the body engagement portion can be configured to engage the collar of the shippable container and prevent rotation of the shippable container about the opening relative to the frame.

The present invention relates to a compact container having a mixing cushion and a mixing mesh, and the compact container comprising: a discharge means installed in an upper part of an inner container for receiving a cosmetic material; a distribution plate and a discharge plate, both coupled to an upper part of the discharge means; a mixing cushion formed on an upper surface of the discharge plate; and a mixing mesh formed to surround an upper surface of the mixing cushion, wherein, when the mixing mesh is pressed by a puff, the cosmetic material is discharged by the discharge means to be uniformly mixed while being absorbed into the mixing cushion, and is then discharged through the mixing mesh to uniformly smear the entire lower surface of the puff. Therefore, the compact container enables a user to easily use a uniformly mixed cosmetic material.

Disclosed is a liquid pump (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900), comprising a movable unit and a fixed unit. The movable unit is capable of moving relative to the fixed unit so as to pump a product out. An elastic mechanism (130, 230, 330, 430, 530, 630, 730, 820, 930) is provided between the movable unit and the fixed unit, and the elastic mechanism (130, 230, 330, 430, 530, 630, 730, 820, 930) comprises at least one elastic strip (131, 231, 331, 431, 531, 631, 731, 821, 931). The elastic strip (131, 231, 331, 431, 531, 631, 731, 821, 931) applies a biasing force to the movable unit to restore the movable unit after the product is pumped. The liquid pump (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900) further comprises an elastic mechanism adjusting member movable between a first position in which the elastic strip (131, 231, 331, 431, 531, 631, 731, 821, 931) of the elastic mechanism (130, 230, 330, 430, 530, 630, 730, 820, 930) is in a relaxed state, and a second position in which the elastic strip (131, 231, 331, 431, 531, 631, 731, 821, 931) of the elastic mechanism (130, 230, 330, 430, 530, 630, 730, 820, 930) is in a preloaded state. With the provision of the elastic mechanism adjusting member, it is convenient to press down a pressing head (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610, 710, 910) during use, and the yielding deformation of the elastic strip (131, 231, 331, 431, 531, 631, 731, 821, 931) due to long-term stress can also be avoided.
