An overcap for a container for storing at least one tennis ball, the container extending along a longitudinal axis and having an open end. The overcap includes a body adapted for removably attachment to the open end of the tennis ball container. The body includes a peripheral rim for engaging an outer surface of the container at the open end, and a lip projecting from the peripheral rim toward the longitudinal axis. The peripheral lip extends over a portion of the open end of the tennis ball container. The lip defines a first opening.

An apparatus for capping the tip of the nozzle of a caulking tube retained in a caulking gun to prevent the caulking tube from leaking caulking material such as latex or silicone during non-use. The apparatus has a cap portion, a housing portion, and a retractable flexible cord to provide a retractable cap to be used with the caulking tube placed in a caulking gun to prevent leakage when the caulking gun and caulking tube are not in use. The housing contains a retraction member which is placed under force when the cap is pulled away from the retraction member and placed over the tip of the caulking tube nozzle. When the cap is removed from the caulking tube nozzle, the tension from the retraction member causes the flexible cord to pull the cap to a location adjacent the housing so that the cap can be easily retrieved and not lost.

Disclosed are embodiments of containers, caps, sealing assemblies, and associated components. In one embodiments, a sealing assembly can include an expander actuator operatively coupled to an expander, which expander is operatively coupled to a seal. In a locking state, the expander actuator is configured to cause the expander to expand horizontally against the seal. The expansion of the seal against a shoulder and/or a neck of a container provides a locking, leak-proof seal. In an opening state, the expander is configured to provide an upward movement of the expander actuator, allowing the expander to return to its unexpanded form, which in turn causes the seal to return to its unexpanded form. When the seal is in its unexpanded form, the sealing assembly (along with an associated cap) can be pulled away from the container body.

A hairbrush includes a body having a first half and a second half, and a container therebetween for storing fluids like liquids, i.e., water, alcohol, lotions, creams, etc. The first half and second half include respective bottom parts of a generally rectangular configuration each extending to an elongated portion extending to an open front. The first half and second half include respective inner surfaces and outer surfaces, with the second half including a flexible core from which a plurality of bristles extend radially outwardly.

A cap includes a housing, a flexible membrane made from a resilient material and disposed over at least a portion of the housing, a first slider at least partially disposed in the housing and movable between a first position and a second position with respect to the housing, and a second slider at least partially disposed in the housing and cooperating with the first slider, when the first slider is in the first position the second slider is in a locked position in which a distal end of the second slider presses against and extends the flexible membrane outwardly from the housing, and when the first slider is in the second position the second slider is in an unlocked position in which the distal end of the second slider does not extend the flexible membrane outwardly from the housing as much as compared to the locked position.

Provided is a bandage composition dispenser and/or applicator that includes a nozzle and a cap. In some embodiments, the dispenser and/or applicator is used to dispense a bandage or dressing composition that forms a durable film bandage or skin protectant.

A dosing bottle has a container; a riser; a cap piece; a standpipe connected to the riser and one or more return openings in a tubular wall of the standpipe; and a closure member. The closure member is rotatably attached to the cap piece and defines an interior dosing volume and a dispenser opening. The closure member is axially movable relative to the cap piece between a closed position and an open position. The open position allows a liquid in the interior volume of the container to flow through the riser and through the return opening and into the interior dosing volume.
