The present technology relates to a device and method to provide distilled water in pre-filled, disposable containers for use with humidifiers in assisted breathing units, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices. The technology also relates to methods for delivery of medications and inhalational and/or aromatic therapies through heated hydration chambers in CPAP devices and/or through nebulizers to be used to hydrate air in conjunction with CPAP devices. The present technology further relates to convenient multi-packs of pre-filled, disposable water containers to be provided in conjunction with CPAP devices.

A system and method are provided for palletless shipment of gas cylinder arrays. A three-dimensional array of gas cylinders is formed from a plurality of vertically-stacked two-dimensional subarrays. First elongated voids extend through the array in a width direction at a first handle elevation. Second elongated voids extend through the array in a depth direction at a second handle elevation. The first and second elongated voids are bilaterally bounded by handle portions of adjacent gas cylinders, and vertically bounded by upper and lower surfaces of surrounding cylinders. Pairs of tunnel elements are disposed within respective elongated voids and are each configured to releasably receive a corresponding forklift tong. Vertically-disposed pillars may be provided to increase the rigidity and load distribution of the system. Flaps may radiate from the pillars to minimize impact and abrasion between adjacent cylinders during shipment. Key system components may be inexpensively formed from recyclable, lightweight materials.

A fixed nozzle and pumping type cosmetic container, more specifically a fixed nozzle and pumping type cosmetic container wherein, since a pumping operation is performed in a state of a nozzle being fixated when a button is pressed, it is possible to apply contents on the exactly intended place, to prevent air from flowing by opening and closing a contents discharge hole by means of an opening and closing rod, and also to minimize leakage of contents through a leakage prevention part separately provided from a contents movement part.

A method and apparatus for sterile labeling of medications and medical solutions including those in a first container having a sterile interior and a non-sterile exterior, the first container being received in a second container or membrane, at least one sterile printed label containing information specific to the medication or solution, provided in a third container having a sterile interior and a non-sterile exterior, the third container being removably affixed to the second container while maintaining association of the printed label to the contents of the first container. The medication or solution in the first container may be dispensed into a sterile container in the sterile field and one of the at least one sterile printed labels from the third container may be applied to the corresponding sterile container or medical accessory in the sterile field. The apparatus can further include packaging in which the first container is packaged.

A refrigerated liquid transport system is disclosed, which comprises a refrigerated container configured to be loaded with unit loads (200), a unit load (200) comprising a pallet (20) supporting at least one layer of ten liquid containers (300), each liquid container (300) having side walls (303) connected to one another by rounded edge portions (304), in which the main faces (303) of adjacent side walls (303) are generally mutually perpendicular; the upper side wall (301) comprises at least one recessed portion (315) containing an opening (312) able to be closed by an accordingly adjusted plug and at least one handle (313) above the bottom of the recess, the top of the handle (313) being either level with the main face of the upper side wall (301), or below same; and wherein the main faces of the liquid container (300) define a rectangular cuboid geometry with width of at least 250 mm and length of at least 380 mm, and a height, for example, of 440 mm, 365 mm or 310 mm.

A locking device for a carton includes a first part (F) defined in a first panel (12) and a second part (M) defined in a second panel (14). The first part includes a female tab (22) struck from the first panel and foldably coupled thereto. The second part includes a male tab (20) struck from the second panel and foldably coupled thereto. The male tab is hinged to the second panel by a first non-linear fold line (24) and is receivable in an aperture created by folding the female tab out of the plane of the first panel so as to secure the first and second panels together. The male tab includes at least one weakened line (28) for facilitating folding of the male tab about the first non-linear fold line (24). An edge (30) of the female tab braces against the male tab so as to maintain the male tab in a folded or locked configuration.

Plastic egg cartons having mating cell and lid posts for improved egg protection. The carton has a base tray and hinged lid, the tray including a plurality of cells for receiving individual eggs, and the tray having a plurality of cell posts each formed at an intersection of four adjacent cells as an extension of the sidewalls of the four adjacent cells. Preferable, each cell post has four generally planar ramp surfaces, one disposed respectively on each of the four sidewall extensions. The lid has a plurality of lid posts for mating with the cell posts when the lid is in a closed position.

Rodent bait station assemblies and methods for assembly and bundling.

A support tray configured to support at least two different diameter cylindrical containers. The support tray includes a generally planar body with opposed support surfaces. A plurality of projections extend from at least one of the support surfaces. Each of the projections defines at least one engagement surface such that the engagement surfaces define a plurality of first rim receiving areas having a first diameter and a plurality of rim receiving areas having a second diameter distinct from the first diameter.
