Two-part dispensing closure system with internal seal and methods of using the same
A dispensing closure system includes an upper closure portion and a lower closure portion including an axial flow conduit and a vent conduit. The upper closure portion is axially movable relative to lower closure portion between shipping and dispensing positions. A seal is disposed on the lower closure portion over the flow and vent conduits. A peripheral spacing strip is removably secured to the upper closure portion and engages with either the lower closure or the outside of the container to prevent movement. A piercing probe includes piercing elements in alignment with the flow and vent conduits for piercing the seal. In the shipping position, the piercing elements are spaced from the seal. However, when the spacing strip is removed and the upper closure portion is axially moved to the dispensing position, the piercing elements pierce the seal to open the flow conduit and the vent conduit.
Beverage container cap for use with beverage extractor
A cap for engagement with a beverage container allows an extractor needle or other conduit to pass through a portion of the cap such that beverage can be removed from the container without removing the cap. The cap may include a septum that is radially and/or axially compressed and a barrier layer arranged to engage with the container to form a seal.
Securable Sampling Port for an Insulated Container
Apparatus and installation methods for sampling ports are disclosed. Sampling ports include a port housing and a lid assembly. The lid assembly is configured to sealably close against the port housing. Additionally, the lid assembly can be secured, such as with a lock, to the port housing. In one aspect, the port housing includes a sample mount arrangement configured to receive a sampling assembly. The sample mount arrangement defines a sampling channel and the port housing defines a sampling opening and a first securing mount. The lid assembly includes a latch arrangement and defines a second securing mount.
Capping system for liquid medicine bottles
A save-and-draw capping system may be snapped or otherwise attached/connected to the top of a liquid medicine bottle having a rubber surface that may be punctured using a syringe to draw medicine. Using the save-and-draw capping system, the rubber surface may be sealed after it has been punctured. A secondary seal may be used to apply pressure to the cap of the liquid medicine bottle. A draw attachment, such as a draw needle, may be attached to the save-and-draw cap so that a hose may be connected to the liquid medicine bottle when multiple injections are needed. The save-and-draw capping system may be removed from one liquid medicine bottle to be used on another liquid medicine bottle.
Anitfreeze cartridge and frost-protection system of a motor vehicle
An antifreeze cartridge includes a container containing an antifreeze agent, and a sealing film on the container. A connecting structure is configured and intended to be connected by force fit or form fit to a complementary receiver of an antifreeze inlet of a motor vehicle. The container has a handling portion which is configured and intended to allow the manual connection of the connecting structure to the complementary receiver of the antifreeze inlet. The sealing film is configured and intended to be perforated by a hollow perforation element of the antifreeze inlet so that the antifreeze agent contained in the container can be supplied to a frost-protection system of the motor vehicle through the hollow perforation element. A motor vehicle has an antifreeze inlet wherein the antifreeze inlet is accessible from the outside of an engine bay of the motor vehicle without opening a hood of the motor vehicle.
VIAL BLINDING ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLY
A vial blinding assembly includes a vial having a bottle with a constricted neck and an annular shoulder that inwardly extends; a stopper disposed on an opening of the bottle and having a septum with a top surface; and a retainer securing the stopper to the bottle. A tubular blinding shell encircles a compartment that extends between a first end with an inlet opening and an opposing second end with an access opening. A floor plug is secured to the first end of the blinding shell. The vial is disposed within compartment of the blinding shell with the vial being supported by the floor plug and the neck passing through the access opening so that the top surface of the septum is disposed outside of the compartment of the blinding shell, the shoulder of the vial having an outside diameter larger than a diameter of the access opening.
Bubble manufacturing container
A bubble manufacturing container 20 of the present invention includes: a container body 21 having an opening portion; and a rubber stopper 221 provided on the opening portion of the container body 21. The rubber stopper 221 is constituted so that the bubbles 1 of an inside of the container body 21 are able to be taken by piercing an injection needle. It is preferred that the bubble manufacturing container 20 has a fastening portion 222 provided on the rubber stopper 221, having an opening and sealing the container body 21 with the rubber stopper 221. Furthermore, it is preferred that the container body 21 mounts a weight portion.
Fingertip mist
A clean, sterile fingertip mist of simulated saliva of appropriate droplet size and quantity is provided to allow consumers to easily moisten their fingertips to open produce bags, to count money, separate papers and for other applications where moist fingertips are useful. The simulated saliva provided substitutes for natural saliva to avoid spread of germs such as virus, bacterium, bacillus and other microbes and microorganisms, and other undesirables found in natural human saliva. A misting apparatus is provided, being tailored for delivery of a fine range, having distributed, but limited, quantity of droplets of sterile simulated saliva. This invention avoids consumers passing germs by using their own germ laden saliva to moisten fingertips then open produce bags, county money, separate papers and the like. In one embodiment, a method of layer separation by use specific sterile simulated saliva and mist dispenser therefor are provided in lieu of actions such as (i) licking fingertips, (ii) applying oily lotions or thick globs of hand sanitizer (iii) wearing gloves or (iv) intense, repetitive rubbing for friction separation.
Beverage container lid with reservoir and repetitive measuring and disbursement mechanism
A lid for a beverage container having a reservoir chamber for holding drink additive, a measurement chamber in fluid communication with the measurement chamber, and an upper chamber with a lower end in fluid communication with an upper end portion of the reservoir chamber. A plunger has an upper chamber seal, an upper seal and a lower seal, and an actuator moves the plunger between first, second and third plunger positions to dispense a measured drink additive in the measurement chamber into the container. The plunger has a central filler port to receive drink additive and an aperture in fluid communication with the reservoir chamber. The actuator includes a closure member closing the filler port and manually movable to move the plunger. A lock member is movable between locked and unlocked positions, and in the locked position prevents movement of the plunger from the first to the second plunger position.
Tamper evident plastic closure for vials for storing substances for medical or pharmaceutical applications and use thereof
A tubular locking body of a tamper evident plastic closure for necked vials for holding a plug in a mouth of a vial includes a retaining member for retaining the plug, a central opening being formed in the retaining member for providing access to the inside of the vial via the plug. The cap includes a disc-shaped cover and a coupling portion, for coupling the cap with the tubular locking body by positive-fit engagement. The coupling portion includes at least one frangible portion each configured such that at least one indicator member remains as a tamper evidence at a rim of the central opening of the tubular locking body after removal of the cap from the distal end of the tubular locking body by irreversibly breaking the annular frangible portion for providing access to the inside of the vial via the plug.
