An integrated conveyor line system for placing safety and non-safety caps onto bottles traveling on the same conveyor line. A network of sensors and RFID readers determine the location of bottles and ensure that the right cap is placed on each bottle. The processing system controlling the hardware components instructs the appropriate components to divert bottles to a reject holding queue when the system detects a bottle having the wrong type of cap.

A human water bottle with a threaded top is used to dispense water though an attachment sleeve over a ball to a pet while they lick the ball. An attachment sleeve is attached to the threaded top. The ball is set between a top and bottom inner surface of the sleeve. The ball has dimples for larger surface.

The ball rolls or bounces while being licked. Then water flows from the bottle through the inner volume of the sleeve and around the bottom and top surface of the ball to the animal during licking. A cap is screwed on to an outer surface of the sleeve, to protect the ball. The cap has a key chain and protrusion feature. An adaptor can be screwed into the bottom threads of the sleeve having threads at its other end matching bottles having different threads.

A solid dosage preparation is provided with a bottle of water. The solid dosage preparation is contained in a safe and sanitary blister package and attached by means of a shrink band to the closure of the bottle. The shrink band provides a tamper-indicating seal for the both the bottle and blister contents. An advantage of the design is that it does not require customization of bottle and closure tooling, and thereby provides a simple and cost-effective means for combining solid and liquid materials in a unitary package. An additional advantage is the robustness of the tamper-indicating system and methodology.

A vault system is provided that secures a brace to the underside of a vault lid to improve the performance of the lid when the lid is subject to external loads. The vault has guiding features to receive a brace and place the brace in a particular position. Then, a vault lid is pressed into the vault, and tabs on the vault lid deflect into receiving portions on the ends of the brace to secure the brace to the vault lid. The resulting vault lid is reinforced with a brace. In some embodiments, the guiding feature comprises a rib in a recess in the brace, and in various embodiments, the tabs have an arm and a hook disposed on a distal end of the arm. The tab arms deflect to fit around the end of the brace, then an undercut on the hook secures the brace to the lid.

Overcap (10) for a bottle neck (50) having a centre line (15) and a mouth (55) closed by a cork (60), screw cap, bung or other form of closure to provide a tamper-evidence cover for the closure. The overcap (10) comprises a cap portion (4) having a top transverse surface (6) and an adjacent short cylindrical skirt (8), a cylindrical jacket portion (2) adjacent to said skirt (8) of the cap portion (4) and a weakening line (20) between said two portions (2, 4) of the overcap (10), wherein apart from the weakening line (20) the overcap (10) has a smooth or embossed surface. The weakening line (20) is a circumferential line of the overcap (10) having at least a compressed line part and a slit (30, 35), the weakening line (20) surrounds the bottle neck (50) and runs at least partly perpendicular to the centre line (15), wherein the slit (30, 35) has a length and a width that allows the introduction of a knife blade (63) or a fingernail (65).

The invention relates to a pot (80) having a multipart setup, the pot comprising an enveloping pot (83) and a product pot (81), which is received in the enveloping pot (83) and serves for receiving a lotion or the like, the enveloping pot and the product pot being made of the same or different materials, intersections being formed between the different components for separation purposes, the intersections being realised as detachable form-fit, substance-to-substance or force-fit connections.

An apparatus configured for accommodating and dispensing a compound into a container is provided. The apparatus includes a body including an upper end portion, a lower end portion, and an opening defining a volume configured for accommodating the compound. The apparatus includes a lid removably coupled and moveable relative to the upper end portion of the body. The lid includes an upper end portion including an exterior surface and an interior surface. Further, the lid includes a protrusion extending downwardly from the interior surface of the lid by a second length greater than a first length of the body. The protrusion includes a gasket interposing between an inner surface of the body and an outer surface of the protrusion.
