A dispenser (10) for dispensing a flowable material M has a container (12) having an outer wall (20) and membrane (14) collectively defining a first chamber (22) configured to contain the flowable material M. The membrane (14) has a thickness and a weld seam (40) wherein the weld seam (40) has a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane (14). A fracturing mechanism (16) is operably connected to the container (12). The fracturing mechanism (16) has an extending member (64) projecting from the outer wall (20) of the container (12). The extending member (64) has a projection (66) positioned proximate the membrane (14), wherein in response to deflection of the extending member (64), the projection (66) deflects the outer wall (20) proximate the membrane (14) wherein the weld seam (40) fractures creating an opening (41) through the membrane (14) configured to allow the flowable material M to pass therethrough and from the dispenser (10).

Particulate aerogel material kit for grip enhancement, and related systems and methods, are generally described. Certain embodiments are related to interfaces comprising human skin, a layer of particulate aerogel material, and a solid surface. Methods of creating such interfaces, packaging the particulate aerogel material, and applications thereof (including kits for grip enhancement) are also described.

A device for dispensing and storing food. The device for dispensing and storing food may comprise a first or inner member, a second or outer member, a dispensing unit, and a cap. To dispense food and displace air within the device, a user may either: 1) push the second or outer member downwardly, towards the first or inner member, or 2) push the first or inner member upwardly, towards the first end second or outer member.

A system for dispensing material contained in a collapsible package from a dispensing device. The system includes a piercing nozzle attachable to a dispensing end of the dispensing device, and a plunger attachable to a plunger rod of the dispensing device configured to compress the package against the piercing nozzle. The piercing nozzle includes a nozzle sidewall and a nozzle end wall defining an internal nozzle cavity configured to receive a first end of the package. One or more recessed members extend into the internal nozzle cavity in part from a recessed member. The piercing projection pierce the package when compressed thereagainst, allowing the material in the package to be dispensed through a nozzle opening. An internal nozzle rib can extend across a nozzle opening defined through the nozzle end wall.

A beverage container arranged to dispense a measured amount of a beverage is disclosed. The beverage container is adapted to be stored on the neck of the vessel and detached from the vessel to dispense the beverage either into the vessel or another vessel.

A dispenser includes a front panel that can be opaque, and a body that includes a sidewall extending from a rear wall. Further, the front panel is coupled to the body and an interior cavity is formed therebetween. The sidewall includes an illuminating portion and a viewing portion. The illuminating portion is translucent and the viewing portion is transparent. The viewing portion is located between the front panel and the rear wall and the viewing portion and the illuminating portion indicate a refill status.

A disposable deformable capsule includes: a pouch containing a cosmetic product whose periphery is two sheets pressed against and fixed to one another; a channel connecting the pouch to the outside, forming a section of narrower cross-sectional area; a frangible wall separating the pouch and channel, shapes as an inward-pointing angular recess within the otherwise convex shape of the periphery of the pouch, the rupture of which occurs by peeling apart, at the recess, the two sheets, placing the pouch in communication with the channel so the product flows to the channel; a connector, able to be coupled with another connector of another capsule, with rigidity sufficient to seal the connection between the capsules once coupled, located at one end of the channel opposite the end next to pouch or at an opening distinct from the end of the channel located next to pouch, opening to outside the capsule.

A container with separable laminated layers includes an outer layer body, an inner layer body separably laminated on an inner surface of the outer layer body and capable of undergoing volume reduction and shape change, and an ambient air inlet continuously extending between the outer layer body and the inner layer body. The container with separable laminated layers has a bottle shape including a tubular mouth, a shoulder continuous with the mouth, a trunk continuous with the shoulder, and a bottom continuous with the trunk. The trunk includes a squeeze area that is continuous with the shoulder via a circumferential step portion or a circumferential rib portion. The step portion or the rib portion is provided with a recess that is concave toward an inner side of the container.

A capsule integrated with a nail polish applying element for usage by a nail polish application apparatus comprising a capsule compartment and a pressure applying element, the capsule comprising a container defining a reservoir containing nail polish fluid, the container comprising an upper face with an opening sealed with a sliding gasket and a bottom face, wherein a volume of the reservoir is reduced and an internal pressure is built in the reservoir when pressure application slides the sliding gasket towards the bottom face, and a container housing comprising a body portion shaped to receive and accommodate the container, one or more conveying tunnels having a proximal end mechanically fixated to a bottom side of the body portion and a nail polish applying element mounted to receive the nail polish fluid from a distal end of the conveying tunnel(s) for applying the nail polish fluid on a nail surface.
