A device is provided that assists with equalizing air pressure within a container with the atmospheric air pressure as liquid is being poured from the container and includes one or more relatively short air tubes. The device is provided with the ability to simultaneously equalize pressure in the container while also providing a drip collection mechanism. The device may be configured for unidirectional pouring or multi-directional pouring.

A disposable container includes a single headed can body, a closure coupled to the can body and a cradle. The single headed can body includes a generally convex base and a generally cylindrical sidewall defining an open end. The can body convex base and can body sidewall are unitary. The closure is coupled to the can body open end. The disposable cradle is coupled to the can body convex base.

A snap-action non-separable connection between the lid and container, incorporating snap-action profiles formed in the top part of the container around the opening for filling the container, and snap-action profiles formed in the lid, where the said profiles interlock, is characterised in that the snap-action profiles in the top part of the container are formed on the front surface of that part into segments which do not contact one another, where formed on the side surface of each segment is at least one snap protrusion and where in the top part of the lid are slots on the side surface of which formed is at least one snap ledge, and where the number of the slots in the lid is equal to the number of the said segments.

An aerosol-generating article (10) includes a mouthpiece (14) comprising at least one segment of filter material (18,20) and a liquid delivery element (22). The liquid delivery element (22) comprises: an upstream end and a downstream end; a double-walled annular body portion (28) comprising: an inner wall (34) defining a longitudinal channel (38) extending through the liquid delivery element (22); and an outer wall (32) integrally formed with the inner wall (34), the outer wall (32) circumscribing the inner wall (34) such that a cavity (36) is defined between the outer wall (32) and the inner wall (34), the cavity (36) having an opening in at least one of the upstream end and the downstream end and containing a liquid; and annular sealing means (40) inserted between the inner wall (34) and the outer wall (32) of the annular body portion (28) to provide a liquid tight seal at the opening or openings of the cavity (36). The inner wall (34) and the outer wall (32) of the annular body portion (28) are configured such that the inner wall (34) is breakable upon application of a compressive force to the liquid delivery element (22) in a transverse direction and such that upon breakage of the inner wall (34) the liquid is released from the cavity (36) into the longitudinal channel (38).

Re-closable mobile packages are disclosed. An example can end includes a center panel having a pour opening, a first wall extending from the center panel around a perimeter of the pour opening, and a cover rotatably coupled to the center panel. The cover is rotatable relative to the pour opening between a first position and a second position. The cover interlocks with the first wall when the cover is in the first position to prevent access to the pour opening. The cover exposes the pour opening when cover is in the second position.

Re-closable mobile packages are disclosed. An example can end includes a center panel having a pour opening. A first track extends from an upper surface of the center panel around a perimeter of the pour opening. A cover is rotatably coupled to the center panel about a rotational axis. The cover includes a second track. The second track extends partially around a perimeter of the cover such that the second track defines at least a first gap. The second track to engage the first track when the cover is in a closed position.

The present invention pertains to polymer compositions for extrusion coating of metal sheets, to a method of producing a coated metal sheet using such a polymer composition, to coated metal sheets obtainable in such a method, and to the use of such coated metal sheets for the production of food or beverage containers, preferably beverage cans.

A tube assembly is disclosed. The tube assembly may include a tube with an outer diameter and an inner diameter. The tube may have a cylindrical shape. The tube assembly may also include a top integrally formed with the tube such that the tube and the top are a monolithic structure. The top may include an outer lid, a cap with a cap pull tab protruding outwards from the tube assembly, and a breakable portion disposed between the cap and the outer lid. The breakable portion may be configured to be relatively structurally weaker than surrounding areas to allow for breaking off and separating completely the cap at the breakable portion.

A system and method for mixing compounds is disclosed. Accordingly to one embodiment a transfer device is provided that allows for diluent from a syringe to be introduced into a container having a first compound (e.g., powder) in a sterile manner. In second and third embodiments, systems are shown for combining and mixing first and second compounds contained in first and second containers in a sterile manner. Various dropper tips for dispensing the mixed compounds are disclosed.

Embodiments of the disclosure generally provide a dispensing closure for a dry goods container. The closure includes a a base secured to a top portion of a dry goods container and having a substantially planar upper surface with central hub aperture and at least one product dispensing aperture formed therethrough, the base being molded in a first shot of a two-shot process from polyethylene material or syndiaotactic polyethylene. The closure further includes a rotor having a substantially planar lower surface having at least one product dispensing aperture formed therethrough, the rotor being molded in a second shot of a two-shot process from a low density polyethylene, the rotor being molded directly on the base in the two-shot process. A breakout plug is integrally molded with the rotor and connected by at least two axially aligned breakaway securing members, the breakaway securing members each having a structural connection between an outer perimeter surface of the breakout plug and a main body of the rotor, the structural connection having a larger cross sectional area at a connection adjacent the breakout plug than a cross sectional area at a connection adjacent the main body of the rotor. A hub is integrally molded with the rotor and extending therefrom through the central hub aperture and a hub securing member is positioned on a distal end of the hub that extends through the central hub aperture, the hub securing member having a larger diameter than a diameter of the central hub aperture.
