A safety closure for a beverage container that prevents an infant from ingesting the closure is provided. The closure includes a cylindrical cap body to be released securely into a beverage container. The cap body includes lateral projections extending from the cylindrical cap are sufficient to prevent an infant from ingesting the cap. The projections are provided to also facilitate rotation of the cap and to be releasably secure the cap of the container.

A flammable liquid transport system includes a container that may contain a flammable liquid. A bag is provided and the bag may be transported in a vehicle. The container is positioned within the bag. Thus, the bag inhibits the flammable liquid from spilling into the vehicle. The bag is comprised of a fire resistant and fluid impermeable material.

Caps, containers embodying such caps, and methods of enhancing cap safety. Air flow passages through the cap enable one, who accidentally swallowed the cap, to breathe/pass air through the cap. Some air passages extend top to bottom. Openings in the outer side wall, and an air flow path across the cap, allow air to enter the cap on a first side, flow transversely through the cap, and exit an opposing side. The top-to-bottom air flow passages, and the air flow path across the cap, including the openings in the outer wall of the cap, collectively support air flow through the cap, thus through the person's airway, if/when the cap becomes accidentally lodged in a person's airway. The openings can be used to engage and extract an accidentally swallowed cap. Elements of an optional tamper evident ring remain attached to the cap after the cap is removed from the container.

In one embodiment, a pallet comprises a top deck comprising a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the substrate comprises a first plastic material; and a layer disposed on the second surface of the substrate, wherein the layer comprises a composition comprising reinforcing fibers, polyimide fibers, and polymeric binder fibers, wherein the polymeric binder fibers have a melting point that is lower than the polyimide fibers; a bottom deck; and supporting columns disposed between the second surface and the bottom deck.

A secure beverage container includes a body having a first end, and a second end opposing the first end. The secure beverage container includes a lid assembly to be received by the second end. The lid assembly includes a lid housing, a sipper carried by the lid housing, a latch carried by the lid housing and configured to selectively latch to adjacent portions of the body, and a mechanical assembly carried by the lid housing and coupled to the sipper and the latch. The mechanical assembly is configured to operate in one of a locked state, and an unlocked state. The lid assembly also includes an access control device carried by the lid housing and coupled to the mechanical assembly, the access control device configured to cause the mechanical assembly to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state based upon a security token.

Flame mitigation devices meeting all applicable regulatory requirements are described. The system includes a mesh element affixed to a closure fitment that is specially designed to couple to a rounded bead or edges on a container neck. Tamper-evident and child resistant features can be incorporated at the interfaces of the closure fitment and a cap that is removably attachable to the closure, whereas the closure is effectively coupled to the container in a permanent a manner.

A closure assembly for a container, comprises a spout (1, 3) and a rotational cap (2) injection moulded of plastic material. The cap comprises a top wall (2a) and a downward depending skirt (2b). The cap has two wings (5), which are integrally moulded of plastic material and extend vertically and outward in a lateral direction over a wing length in substantially opposite directions from an inner end to a tip. The wings each have a base portion, a center portion, a top portion, and opposite front and back sides. At least the center portion of each wing is connected to the skirt of the cap. The base portion and the top portion of each wing are substantially flat. The center portion of each wing comprise at least one corrugation (12, 12, 12) that extends along a part of the length of the wing and forms a groove on both sides of the wing, which grooves of the corrugation, as seen from a sideways view of the wing, together form an alternating waveform, e.g. a sinusoidal shape.

Flame mitigation system for retractable/extendible spout formed in a closure is described. The system meets applicable regulatory requirements and includes a flame mitigating mesh element in a rigid spout section immediately above a flexible section that extends and retracts. A tamper evident panel is disposed above the mesh, while a removable cap can be affixed to the rigid spout. An optional, snap-fitting cylindrical guard may also be used. In each instance, the precise positioning of selected elements and inner diameter and axial travel distance of selected elements can be determinative of the system's ability to pass the regulatory requirements.

The present disclosure is related to a self-contained medical grade case for sterilizing surgical devices, for example surgical loupes, utilizing UV-C germicidal light while also protecting the surgical devices from damage. In some embodiments, the case can thus ensure patient safety and prevent cross contamination.
