Drip-free glass bottles having a circumferential channel and methods of making and using such bottles
Described herein is a glass bottle configured to improve the mechanics of liquid flow and prevent drip initiation. Additionally, the glass bottle eliminates dripping during pouring to enable drip-free pouring. The dripping is prevented over a full range of pouring angles, which vary depending on the amount of liquid held in the glass bottle. A method of making the glass bottle and a method of enabling drip-free pouring using the glass bottle are also disclosed.
HEAT-SHRINK SECONDARY-CLOSURE CAPSULE AND USE OF THE SKIRT OF A SECONDARY-CLOSURE CAPSULE TO PRODUCE A DRIP STOP SPOUT
A secondary-closure capsule has a head and a skirt formed from a piece of rolled heat-shrink foil, and it includes a first tear strip that encircles the capsule and is intended for detaching the head from the skirt of the capsule. The capsule also includes a second tear strip that is designed for opening the skirt so that it can be unrolled. The secondary-closure capsule is provided to allow the first tear strip to be torn off so as to detach the head from the skirt without harming the integrity of the skirt.
LIQUID CONTAINER AND LIQUID CONTAINER WITH CONTENT LIQUID
A liquid container and a liquid container with content liquid are easy to sort and dispose of, while preventing dripping of the liquid from a nozzle to the outside. A liquid container includes a container body configured to compartmentally form an accommodation space for content liquid, a tubular nozzle configured to be connected to an upper portion of the container body and guide the content liquid to the outside, and a liquid recovery channel configured to return the content liquid on the radial outside of the nozzle into the accommodation space. The container body, the nozzle, and the liquid recovery channel are formed by integral molding.

BOTTLE MOUNTING METHODS AND SYSTEMS
A method of mounting a bottle involves attaching, to a support body, an interface body attached to a portion of the bottle, such that at least a portion of the interface body and the portion of the bottle are positioned within an aperture defined by the support body. Bottle mounting systems are also disclosed.
Container with Pour Spout
A container includes a neck finish extending from a body and having at least two thickened wall portions circumferentially spaced apart and extending radially inwardly, and including interior surfaces disposed radially inwardly of a neck finish interior surface to at least partially establish an internal trough, and axially facing shoulders axially recessed with respect to a sealing lip of the neck finish.

INNER PLUG STRUCTURE FOR FLEXIBLE CONTAINER AND FLEXIBLE CONTAINER
An inner plug mounted to the neck of the flexible container has a cylindrical hollow portion that contains a valve element, a valve seat disposed below the valve element, a permanent magnet disposed below the valve seat that attracts the valve element to the valve seat, and a discharge outlet in the top of the inner plug to allow discharge of fluid contents of the container via a flow path extending from the discharge outlet to the container body via a void formed between the valve element and the valve seat. The valve element is movable between a closed valve state, in which the valve element contacts the valve seat, and the bottom of the discharge outlet. An open valve state is achieved once pressure inside the container overcomes the magnetic attraction of the valve element to the valve seat and forces the valve element away from the valve seat.

Storage container systems
A container system includes a first container including a bottom wall, at least one sidewall, and an open top, with a plurality of indented recesses formed in the bottom wall. A first lid closes the open top of the first container. A second container includes a bottom wall, at least one sidewall, and an open top. A second lid closes the open top of the second container, with a push indicator structure formed at a center portion of the second lid, and with a plurality of registration bumps formed about the push indicator structure. The first container is stackable on the second lid such that (i) each of the registration bumps in the second lid is aligned with an adjacent one of the recesses in the bottom wall of the first container and (ii) surfaces of the registration bumps are spaced from surfaces of the adjacent recesses.
