A submergible furniture is disclosed. Said submergible furniture comprises a threaded plugs, an outer shell and an internal cavity is configured to be partially submerged in a external body of liquid having a external liquid level. Said internal cavity is sealed by said outer shell and said threaded plugs. Said internal cavity comprises a gas portion and a liquid portion. Said liquid portion comprises an internal liquid level. Said submergible furniture is configured to be partially submerged in a external body of liquid. Said internal liquid level is higher than said external liquid level. Said internal cavity is selectively sealed with said threaded plugs. Said threaded plugs comprises a female plug portion and a male plug portion. Said female plug portion is welded into a portion of said outer shell. Said female plug portion is plastic welded into a portion of said outer shell.

A mixing device for infusing/blending liquid nicotine with flavored e-juice. The mixing device includes a tubular body, a plunger screw cap, a puncture mechanism, and a capsule pod. The plunger screw cap includes a disk cap and a pod-receiving tube. The puncture mechanism includes a piercing portion and a structural mount. The piercing portion is mounted within the tubular body by the structural mount, oriented towards a bottom end of the tubular body. The piercing portion breaks open the capsule pod. The plunger screw cap is positioned adjacent to the bottom end. The pod-receiving tube holds the capsule pod and is concentrically connected to the disk cap. The pod-receiving tube is concentrically positioned within the tubular body, adjacent to the bottom end. The plunger screw cap is concentrically and slidably mounted along the tubular body to translate the capsule pod towards and away from the puncture mechanism.

A container for liquids comprising a first portion forming an approximate half container portion; a second portion forming an approximate half container portion, the first and second portions having a generally convex exterior shape with flange portions along perimeters thereof; a liquid impermeable barrier film being disposed on a concave interior portion of each of the first and second portions and extending onto the flange portions; the first and second portions being sealed together at the flange portions to form a liquid impermeable container; and there being provided a location on the container for the disposition of a closure device to allow contents of the container, once filled, to be removed.

The present invention relates generally to a container that may be sealed and reclosed with a threaded closure. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods of manufacturing a metallic container having an opening with inwardly facing threads. The threads are formed on the metallic container by pressing a neck portion of the metallic container against closure threads of a threaded closure which is inserted at least partially into the opening. The container threads may optionally be formed while the threaded closure is in tension. In this manner, after the container threads are formed, the closure threads can apply a force to the container threads such that the threaded closure is in tension. The container opening may be selectively sealed and reclosed with the threaded closure which releasably engages the container threads. Novel apparatus and methods of sealing metallic containers and forming threads on the metallic containers are also disclosed.

A tamper-resistant closure assembly, comprising an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end; a ferrule defining an interior major surface, wherein the interior major surface has a proximal region and a distal region; and a boss positioned adjacent the distal end of the elongate body and configured to resiliently urge outwardly against the interior major surface; wherein the elongate body is slidably retained within the ferrule by a shoulder extending radially outward of the elongate body; wherein the ferrule, the elongate body, or both defines a region so complementarily arranged relative to the boss as to resiliently urge the elongate body in a proximal direction relative to the ferrule in correspondence with a radially outward force applied by the boss against the interior major surface.
