The invention relates to a device for pressing out a material from a deformable tube, comprising the following: a housing having a base end; an upper section opposite the base end; and lateral wall sections between the base end and the upper section; a squeezer that can be introduced into the housing, wherein the squeezer has a carrier element and two opposing jaws for gripping and squeezing out a material from the tube, wherein the housing has an opening in the upper section through which an outlet of the tube can be guided, and same has openings in opposing parts of the lateral wall sections via which the jaws can be actuated, wherein the jaws are secured to the carrier element at one end and the squeezer also has a manual lever element on at least one jaw, wherein the lever element is connected to the jaw in a connection region to form an assembly, in which a pressure manually applied to the lever element brings about a force on the jaw in the direction of the other jaw, wherein the lever element has a body with reinforcing ribs, wherein the reinforcing ribs are surrounded at least partially by a closed outer skin, wherein a region of the outer skin forms a gripping region.

A container for pasty or semi-liquid products of substantially tubular shape and extending along a longitudinal axis. The container includes: a first longitudinal end which is closed and flattened; an opposite second longitudinal end including an opening and a dispensing element; a first side wall and a second side wall, opposite each other and interposed between the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end. The container includes, at the first side wall and second side wall, a plurality of first lines of weakness which are transverse to the longitudinal axis and which define a plurality of corresponding zones; the first lines of weakness are such that the zones of the first side wall and of the second side wall are selectively squeezable, in twos, towards each other and progressively from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end, defining corresponding stable configurations for the zones.

A cooler for maintaining food, beverage containers and/or consumable liquids in a thermally managed state. The cooler generally includes a housing having one or more cavities, a cover to selectively close or open the cavities and a plurality of tie down notches within the exterior portion of the housing to receive an elongated fastener for tying down the cooler. The cooler may include a first cavity that receives a food container and a second cavity that receives beverage containers. The first cavity may also store a liquid, such as water, that is dispensed from a spigot connected to the housing. A first cover and a second cover selectively close and open the cavities. The first cover includes a first access opening that removably receives the food container so the first cover doesn't have to be opened to retrieve the food container and its contents.

A coating composition for forming a lubricating layer (3) on the surface of a base material (1) formed in a predetermined shape so as to exhibit improved sliding property to fluid substances, the coating composition containing, as a dispersion medium, a liquid (5) that is a component constituting the lubricating layer (3), and the dispersion medium containing solid particles (7) dispersed therein as a component constituting the lubricating layer (3). The lubricating layer (3) formed by using the coating composition exhibits more improved sliding property to fluid substances. The coating composition, therefore, can be favorably used for forming the lubricating layer (3) on the inner surfaces of the packing materials such as containers and lids.

A collapsible bottle with a channelway provided in a side wall which, in collapsed conditions of the bottle, the channelway becomes engaged with opposed portions of the side wall and define a flow passageway therethrough toward a discharge opening at one end of the bottle and a closed other end of the bottle.

A closure for a container for storing granulated powder. The closure includes a collar and a lid, a locking portion on the collar, and a locking portion on the lid, the collar locking portion operable to releasably engage the lid locking portion when the lid is in a closed position on the collar. The closure further includes a latch element on the collar and a latch element on the lid, the collar last element operable to releasably engage the lid locking portion. Some embodiments are operable to provide two audible sounds verifying the lid has been properly closed. Some embodiments include a modified elongated scoop having a length equal to the diameter of the inner perimeter of the lid for improved user experience scooping product from the bottom of a container.

A structure forming, on the surface thereof, a liquid film for improving sliding property to a fluid substance, the liquid film containing solid particles of particle size of not more than 300 m that are dispersed therein. The structure exhibits further improved sliding property to the fluid substances due to the liquid film formed on the surface thereof, and can be favorably used as packing materials such as containers and lids.

A structure including a base material formed in a predetermined shape, and a lubricating layer formed on the surface of the base material for improving sliding property to a fluid substance, the lubricating layer comprising a liquid and solid particles. The lubricating layer 3 formed on the surface of the base material exhibits very improved sliding property to the fluid substance and enables the structure to be favorably used as a packing material such as container and lid.

A coating composition for forming a lubricating layer (3) on the surface of a base material (1) formed in a predetermined shape so as to exhibit improved sliding property to fluid substances, the coating composition containing, as a dispersion medium, a liquid (5) that is a component constituting the lubricating layer (3), and the dispersion medium containing solid particles (7) dispersed therein as a component constituting the lubricating layer (3). The lubricating layer (3) formed by using the coating composition exhibits more improved sliding property to fluid substances. The coating composition, therefore, can be favorably used for forming the lubricating layer (3) on the inner surfaces of the packing materials such as containers and lids.
