The invention includes a container for storing liquids, the container including a blending chamber for holding a larger volume of liquid, and an opening that can be selectively sealed or unsealed. The container also includes a sampling chamber for holding a smaller volume of liquid, and another opening that can be selectively sealed or unsealed. Fluidically connecting the blending chamber and the sampling chamber is a siphon having an upper opening in the blending chamber and a lower opening in the sampling chamber. The siphon includes a siphoning level, which is a fluid height in the blending chamber at which liquid will siphon from the blending chamber to the sampling chamber. In some embodiments the siphon is located in the blending chamber.

Novel aluminum alloys are provided for use in an impact extrusion manufacturing process to create shaped containers and other articles of manufacture. In one embodiment blends of recycled scrap aluminum are used in conjunction with relatively pure aluminum to create novel compositions which may be formed and shaped in an environmentally friendly process. Other embodiments include methods for manufacturing a slug material comprising mixtures of aluminum alloys for use in the impact extraction process, a container manufactured using the aluminum alloy in an impact extrusion process, and the container, wherein the material of the container is the aluminum alloy.

Provided herein is a bottle for dispensing adhesives includes a bottom portion with greater cross-section than that of a mid portion of the bottle to provide stability to the bottle. The bottom portion accommodates greater amount of adhesive therein than the mid portion of the bottle. The bottle includes a top portion having a textured top portion outer surface for improved gripping surface. The bottle includes sides with each side having a side indent to allow improved squeezing of the bottle.

The present invention is a dual container including an inner container deformed to reduce a volume according to reduction of accommodated contents, and an outer container in which the inner container is inserted and which is elastically deformable. In the dual container, a mouth portion, a shoulder portion, a drum portion, and a bottom portion are arranged in sequence from top to bottom in a bottle axis direction, an outside air introduction hole configured to introduce outside air between the outer container and the inner container according to reduction of contents is provided, a circumferential groove recessed inward in a radial direction and extending in a circumferential direction is formed in the drum portion, and a longitudinal convex portion configured to disconnect the circumferential groove in the circumferential direction is provided on an inner surface of the circumferential groove.

A RFID tag for placement on a surface of a container that contains a liquid is provided. The RFID tag includes an IC chip configured to store identification information, a loop conductor connected to the IC chip, and an antenna unit that includes two conductor units connected to the loop conductor and extending away from each other from the loop conductor.

The present invention provides a multi-purpose container configured to retain granulate material for short- or long-term use. Furthermore, the present invention will provide various rates of flow to access the granulate material at a rate suitable for the user. This is accomplished through a container body, a removable cap, and a measuring cup. The removable cap further comprises a plurality of spouts and is configured to removably attach to the container body, while the measuring cup is configured to removably attach to the removable cap. These components work in conjunction to form a multi-purpose container configured to facilitate the pouring of the material held within the container body at a desired flow rate.

A dual compartment mixing and drinking container may include two vertically stacked first and second compartments separated by a membrane or seal, each containing one dry or liquid component of a final mixed drink. In operation, each compartment holds one component to be mixed with the other compartment. The container may include a means for opening the container that may also simultaneously puncture the membrane such that the first compartment and the second compartment may be in fluid communication with one another in order to mix the two components upon opening the container.

A preform, a synthetic resin container, and a method for manufacturing a synthetic resin container in which an air passage leading from an ambient air introduction hole to a trunk can be easily preserved. In the mouth, the inner body includes a large-diameter portion provided at an upper end thereof, and a small-diameter portion continuously extending below the large-diameter portion via a connecting portion. In the mouth, the outer body is provided with an ambient air introduction hole passing through the outer body, and a neck ring positioned within a height range of the small-diameter portion. The inner body is made of a crystalline resin, and a crystallized region is formed in part of the inner body, the crystallized region having a higher degree of crystallization than other regions.

The present invention relates to a glass bottle neck suitable for the automatic production of bottles by means of a molding process for molding part of the neck of the bottle and subsequent blowing of the rest of the bottle, provided with an annular collar (20) for removing the bottle from the mold, wherein the neck consists of a collar segment (A) provided with an annular collar (20), a transition segment (B) provided with an annular outer recess (30), and a wide segment (C) with an outer wall face (11) flush with the outer collar face (21) and with an internal conduit (12) having a diameter that is larger than the internal conduit (12) of the collar segment (A), with the annular outer recess (30) being recessed with respect to the outer collar face (21) and with respect to the outer wall face (11) of the wide segment (C).

Method of making a blow molded article from a preform including: a) providing a preform of a thermoplastic material having a plurality of effect structures each having an effect surface having a normal with an orientation, the preform having a body with one or more walls and an opening, wherein at least a portion of the one or more walls of the preform has a three-dimensional pattern of cavities and/or protrusions thereon; and b) blow molding the preform to form a blow molded article, wherein the step of blow molding the preform changes the orientation of the normal of at least some of the effect surfaces of the effect structures to create a visual effect in at least one wall of the blow molded article.
