A bottle system 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.

An illumination device includes a sleeve, a securing member, and a light source. The sleeve defines a cavity and includes an open upper end communicating with the cavity and a lower end. The open upper end and the cavity are dimensioned to receive a fluid container. The securing member is supported on the sleeve and is adapted to secure the sleeve tightly about fluid containers having different diameters. The light source includes a light bulb and a power source and is supported on the sleeve in a position to direct light into the cavity.

The invention concerns a bottle (10, 110; 10A, 110A; 10B, 110B), in particular of glass, for containing and pouring a liquid, preferably a beverage, vinegar or a perfume, the bottom (20, 120; 20A, 120A; 20B, 120B) of which is made with a punt. A portion of the central bottom extends as a protrusion (22, 122; 22A, 122A; 22B, 122B) downwards into the recess of the punt. A bottle transport system and a bottle content analysis system are also described.

A bottle (10) with an open top (12), a closed bottom (16), and a longitudinal axis extending between the open top (12) and the closed bottom (16). The bottle (10) includes a neck (20) extending from the open top (12) toward the closed bottom (16), an elongated body (22) between the neck (20) and the closed bottom (16), and a base (24). A plurality of openings (60) are defined at least in part by the base (24). The plurality of openings (60) surround the elongated body (22).

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.

Container (1) made of plastic material comprising a body (2) and a petaloid bottom (3) extending the body (2), the bottom (3) comprising a bottom wall (4) that is generally convex towards the exterior, from which feet (5) protrude that are formed by excrescences, the feet being separated side by side by portions of the bottom wall forming hollow valleys (13) that extend radially from a central zone (6) of the bottom to a periphery (7) of the bottom, characterized in that each valley (13) widens out from the central zone (6) towards the periphery (7) and has a concave portion (15) located near the periphery (7).

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for multi-segment weighted trekking poles are provided. A typical three-segment trekking (or other) pole may benefit from removable annular-shaped weights that may provide liquid storage and may be retained in position by one or more weight locks. The standard basket and tip protector may be replaced with a combined tip protector and basket element that threads onto a bottom segment of the pole.

A double walled container has a container bottom that is blow molded after an intermediate portion of a parison in the vertical direction is sandwiched by a split mold from the horizontal direction; at least a portion of the container bottom is sandwiched by the split mold; the container bottom has a bottom projection on the underside of the container bottom made of the outer layer of a rigid outer layer container and the outer layer of a flexible inner layer container; in the bottom projection, an extended portion of the rigid outer layer container and an extended portion of the flexible inner layer container have protrusions and recesses of different heights in the horizontal direction; and the protrusions and recesses are combined so that the extended portions of the rigid outer layer container and the flexible inner layer container do not shift vertically with respect to each other.

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.

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.
