Adjustable storage compartment for a bottle
A bottle has a storage compartment to store an item. The bottle includes a top opening, a bag inside the bottle defining the storage compartment, a bottom opening formed by an opening of the bag, and a bottom cap that includes at least one hole. The bottom cap is removably connected over the bottom opening to provide access to the storage compartment.
STAND FOR MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE, AND SYSTEM COMPRISING STAND AND MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE
A stand for an elongated medicament delivery device having a distal end and a proximal end the stand comprising a base section for supporting the stand on a support surface; a holding section for receiving the distal end of the medicament delivery device; and a body section arranged between the base section and the holding section; wherein the holding section is configured to hold the medicament delivery device in a substantially vertical orientation when the base section is positioned on the support surface. The holding section comprises an elastically deformable material for providing an elastic squeeze fit around the distal end of the medicament delivery device when received in the holding section. A system comprising an elongated medicament delivery device and a stand for supporting the medicament delivery device is also provided.
Container system with multiple storage compartments
A container system comprising a hollow body defined by a continuous outer peripheral wall having a first cavity and a second cavity opposing the first cavity and separated by a dividing wall, a neck opening into the first cavity and a wider open mouth at the end opposing the neck for receiving a base container therein having a lid that engages the inner surface of the outer peripheral wall to secure the base container in the mouth and substantially seal the second cavity.
NON-SPILL MEDICINE BOTTLE ATTACHMENT
A non-spill medicine bottle attachment is described herein. The attachment has a band, a base disposed on a bottom end of the band, and a writing surface disposed on an exterior surface of the band. The band can encircle a bottom portion of the medicine bottle such that the base is positioned at a bottom end of the medicine bottle to stabilize the medicine bottle in an upright or standing position. This stabilization can reduce spillage of medicine inside the bottle, especially when the bottle lid is not completely closed or secured.
VIAL ASSEMBLY WITH CAP WITH DISINFECTANT AND RELATED METHODS
A vial assembly may include a vial having a body to hold a liquid material, and a neck extending from the body. The neck may include a multi-use surface configured to permit access to the liquid material. The vial assembly may include a cap to be received by the neck and to cover the multi-use surface. The cap may include a base having a first major surface, and a second major surface opposite of the first major surface, arms extending from the second major surface, and a rupturable reservoir of disinfectant material carried by the base between the first major surface and the second major surface. One or more of the first major surface and the second major surface may be flexible so as to rupture the rupturable reservoir when the cap is received by the neck.
Container pouring assist system
The container pouring assist system is a covering for a container that makes the container easier to pour by adding a handle to the bottom rear of the container and a spout to the top of the container. As non-limiting examples, the container may be a heavier container such as a 1 or 2 gallon milk and water container. Using the container pouring assist system the container may be lifted using the container's handle and then tilted using the handle provided by container pouring assist system. The spout may result in a more controlled, more predictable pour. The container pouring assist system may slip onto the container by placing a collar over the neck of the container and passing the base of container pouring assist system under the container until the container seats into the base.
Support for bottles
A support that comprises a plate having a first side and a second side opposed to the first side. The plate has a sample section including bottle-receiving members defined in the first side and configured for holding the bottles in a fixed position relative to the plate, and first conduit-receiving openings extending from the first side to the second side for receiving conduits extending from the bottles. The plate has a manifold section including second conduit-receiving openings extending from the first side to the second side for receiving the conduits. The plate has a channel section including channels defined in the second side and extending between the first conduit-receiving openings and the second conduit-receiving openings for receiving the conduits therein. The support may be used for example on a shaker. A method for retaining bottles and conduits connected to the bottles is also discussed.
Dome Formation Profile & Method of Lightweight Container Design and Manufacture
The inventive technology includes a novel container dome profile and manufacturing process for improving container and bottle deformation failure resistance and extending material displacement modes through an initial deformation panel coordinated with complimentary geometric paneling and buttressing structures configured to initiate a controlled sequential dome profile deformation mode. Dome reversal, dome growth, and dome drop resistance characteristics are improved with a shallower profile formation depth, reducing pulldown, and lowering material consumption, resulting in lower overall container/bottle weight. Novel geometric contoured shapes enhance container resistance performance, supporting use of softer alloys or lower temper and yield strength to benefit post-processing efficiency and forming processes improvements while being configured to initiate controlled sequential dome profile deformation.
Refillable container for use with vending machines
A refill bottle, such as a laundry refill bottle, is disclosed that can be used with a consumer refill station to reuse the bottle over and over. The refill bottle includes automatic flow control valves, that allow the bottle to be filled, handled, dispensed from, and refilled innumerable times without a cap. The elimination of a cap alleviates the manufacturer and consumer of the tasks of installing, loosening, tightening, removing, and reinstalling or replacing the cap. The refillable bottle uses flow control valves, specifically an automatic filling valve, an automatic pressure vent valve, a manual/automatic dispensing valve, and an automatic vacuum vent valve. The refill bottle enables liquid and air to be exchanged during filling, handling, dispensing, and refilling.
STAND SLEEVE FOR A PLASTIC CONTAINER CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING INTERNAL PRESSURE
A stand sleeve for an inner-pressure-resistant plastic container is disclosed, the stand sleeve including a base part having a stand surface, and a jacket which is closed in the peripheral direction, the base part and the jacket being configured as a single molded piece, and the jacket being configured for a non-positive connection to an outer wall in proximity of the base of an inner-pressure-resistant plastic container.
