A bottle stowage means is provided comprised of one or more formed volumes having at least one or more sealable openings accessing inside compartments to store dispensable contents that can be measured for use in vessels.

The utilitarian function of the engagement features on a lidded vessel is at least partially camouflaged so that the engagement features' utilitarian function is less apparent to the consumer after the lid is removed. The lidded vessel may be, for example, a lidded drinking glass—such as a lidded wine glass, beer glass, whiskey tumbler or soda glass—that is sold pre-filled and sealed with the wine, beer, whiskey or soda already inside. The camouflaging may be accomplished using one or more camouflaging techniques, some of them involving the presence of so-called non-engagement elements.

A manufacturing method of double walled container comprises preparing a parison having a rigid outer layer and a flexible inner layer, enclosing the parison within a mold including split mold halves, thereby forming a molded parison including a pre-blow cylindrical section, a pre-blow conical bottom section, a pre-blow bottom projection, and a lower parison excessive burr, blowing gas into an inside of the molded parison, thereby forming a blown parison including a cylindrical section and a bottom section, the bottom section including a bottom projection, and removing the lower parison excessive burr from the blown parison, wherein the flexible inner layer is fixed to the rigid outer layer in the bottom projection.

A bottle support shoe receives a closed end of a medicine bottle to stabilize and inhibit slippage of a medicine bottle, and to hold the bottle upright. The shoe comprises a plate having a superior face defined by a convex shape that creates suction, and a mount face defined by a concave shape that creates suction. An interior sidewall extends from the plate at an angle between 44 degrees to 110 degrees, such that engaging the superior face with the closed end of bottle creates air space between the interior sidewall and the superior face. Engaging the mount face with a ground surface decreases and maintains air space between the interior sidewall and the mount face. An exterior sidewall circumambulates the interior sidewall. A bridge extends from interior sidewall to exterior sidewall. A grip panel overlays the mount face to further prevent slippage of the shoe.

A bottle having a reclosable and resealable lid is disclosed. The bottle can have a removable pedestal base. The base can elevate the remainder of the bottle off of the surface upon which the bottle is resting. The lid can have a seal for a drinking mouthpiece outlet and a pressure equalization port. The lid can have a concave indentation or seat aligned with a hinge connecting a top of the lid to a base or rim of the lid. When opened, the seat can rest against the lid rim, opening the lid to more than a 180° lid opening angle.

A fluid container retaining system includes a cover, and a support mount configured to cooperate with the cover to securely retain a first portion of a fluid container. The support mount includes a securing assembly having a suction cup that is configured to removably secure the fluid container retaining system to a surface of a structure. A stand is configured to secure to a second portion of the fluid container.

A method for controlling condensation of hydrogen peroxide at a preselected temperature within a sealed sterilization chamber including an article to be sterilized includes the steps of applying to the sealed chamber a vacuum of a first pressure sufficient to evaporate, at the preselected temperature, an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide of a first concentration. The hydrogen peroxide solution is then evaporated into a water vapor component and a hydrogen peroxide vapor component. The evaporated solution is injected into the sealed chamber in repeated pulses. The injecting is terminated once a preselected second pressure, higher than the first pressure, is reached in the chamber. The pulse volume is selected to allow selective control of the condensation of the hydrogen peroxide vapor component to achieve a layer of micro-condensation of hydrogen peroxide on the article, which layer has a second hydrogen peroxide concentration higher than the first hydrogen peroxide concentration.

Provided is a double container which comprises a relatively rigid outer container and a flexible inner container disposed inside the outer container and capacity-variable in response to an amount of a content thereof The double container is configured to contain, particularly, a high-viscosity liquid, e.g., a liquid having a viscosity of 1000 to 100,000 mPa/s, and to be easily produced by a forming technique having no significant difference from conventional techniques, wherein the double container for a high-viscosity liquid is capable of containing the content without causing oxidation thereof, while maintaining the outer container in its original shape or dimensions, and discharging the content by squeezing the outer container, irrespective of a level of a remaining amount of the content.

Disclosed is a method of sterilizing an article by sequentially exposing the article under vacuum first to a gaseous conditioning agent for forming radicals and then to a sterilant. The preferred conditioning agent is hydrogen peroxide and the preferred sterilant is ozone. The chamber is initially evacuated to a first vacuum pressure and then sealed for the remainder of the sterilization process and during all sterilant injection cycles, without removal of any component of the sterilization atmosphere, which means without any measures to reduce the water vapor content. Keeping the chamber sealed and maintaining the conditioning agent and the radicals generated thereby in the chamber for the sterilization with sterilant results in a synergistic increase in the sterilization efficiency and allows for the use of much lower sterilant amounts and sterilization cycle times than would be expected from using the conditioning agent and the sterilant in combination.

The present disclosure includes a container lid and a container. A container lid for sleeving on a drink bottle, comprising an annulus-shaped lid body and a flexible snap ring, and the lid body includes a pilot hole, which penetrates through the lid body; the flexible snap ring comprises an assembly portion and a clamping portion, wherein the assembly portion encircles around an outer surface of the lid body, and a part of the assembly portion is extended along a radial direction of the lid body to define the clamping portion, and the clamping portion is capable of penetrating through the pilot hole from the outer surface of the lid body, and abutting against an outer surface of the drink bottle.
