Collapsible Container with Cover
20170247144 · 2017-08-31 · ·

A collapsible container includes: a container bottom; a container cap; a tubular member having a longitudinal axis and a cylindrical wall, the tubular member having an outer surface and an inner surface, the cylindrical wall having a wall thickness defined by the distance between the inner and outer surfaces, the cylindrical wall having first and second longitudinal zones of reduced thickness. The first and second longitudinal zones are substantially 180° apart such that the tubular member is collapsible along the first and second longitudinal zones to reduce the tubular member to a flattened state. The tubular member has a first end adapted to mate with the container bottom, and a second end adapted to selectably mate with the container cap. The container cap and container bottom are integrally formed with the tubular member and the container cap is configured to mate with the second end in a child-resistant manner.

Container, in particular for food use
09745108 · 2017-08-29 · ·

The container (1) includes a body (2), a kinkable/unkinkable flexible sleeve (3) and an apertured maneuvering member (4) for maneuvering the sleeve (3). According to the invention: the body (2) and the member (4) have a globally square or rectangular shape in cross-section, giving the container (1) the appearance of a box; the member (4) is axially movable relative to the body (2), between a position in which it is freed from the wall of the body (2) and can therefore be pivoted relative to the latter, and a position in which it is engaged with the body (2); and the wall of the body (2) outwardly includes at least one part (5) made from a material having a high friction coefficient, and/or the apertured maneuvering member (4) includes, on its inner face, at least one part made from a material having a high friction coefficient.

PRECISION VITAMIN AND MEDICATION ORGANIZER
20170239145 · 2017-08-24 ·

Disclosed herein are approaches for a precise medication, vitamin, and/or other medication substance organizer having a plurality of storage compartments that house and separate medications and vitamins by a specific time of day and a means for indicating whether a particular medication or vitamin has already been or needs to be taken. This organizer removes doubt associated with missed or duplicate drug dosages, interactions between medications and vitamins, as well as regulating daily medication and vitamin doses. Additionally, the organizer provides a location to indicate a name and a time a medication or vitamin should be ingested or otherwise taken and an indicator to show whether a medication or vitamin has already been removed from the organizer for ingestion. The medication, vitamin, and/or other medication substance organizer can also be used to prompt a user to take medications that will not fit into the organizer, such as an inhaler.

AEROSOL-GENERATING DEVICE AND SYSTEM

An electrically heated aerosol-generating system is provided, including a primary device and a secondary, aerosol-generating, device having a cavity at a proximal end configured to removably receive an aerosol-generating substrate. The primary device includes a housing; a power supply; a cavity in the housing configured to receive the secondary device; a plurality of electrical contacts within the cavity, each contact being configured to contact a corresponding contact of the secondary device when the secondary device is in the cavity, at least one of the contacts being connected to the power supply; and a lid configured to cover an opening of the cavity, and being moveable between a first closed position, and a second open position. The lid includes a protrusion configured to prevent movement from the second position to the first position if the secondary device is inserted incorrectly.
