Embodiments of the present disclosure could generally provide a relatively easily squeezable beverage bottle that allows control of the flow rate of the liquid being dispensed to the user. The bottle could provide sufficient radial rigidity—or resistance to squeezing—to return to its original shape (or “bounce back”) at a suitable rate without experiencing permanent deformation or denting and to withstand the rigors of filling, shipping, transporting, dispensing, etc. The present disclosure generally provides a beverage bottle filtering system that provides adequate filtering of water taken from the bottle at a suitable rate. In one embodiment, the present disclosure could include a support system to adequately secure the filter media within a filter housing while ensuring a sufficient compression fit and seal of filter media within filter system to eliminate “bypass flow” (i.e., water that might leak past filter system) and prevent consumption of unfiltered water.

The invention features a method of reconditioning a fluid container including heating for at least one cycle the fluid container to a select temperature for a select time duration; sealing for at least one cycle the fluid container; cooling for at least one cycle the fluid container to a select vacuum for a select time duration in an interior of the fluid container; wherein the select vacuum and the select time duration of the cooling step are selected to draw substantially a fluid from at least one of a pore, a cell and a fiber of the fluid container to a surface of the fluid container. The invention also features methods of infusing an infusion agent into a reconditioned fluid container, and methods for preparing construction materials, devices adapted for the construction material preparation methods, and construction materials including wood reconditioned and prepared in accordance with the methods of the invention.

A dog toy container can be used to store dog toys or consumable objects, such as chew toys, ropes, balls, stuffed animals, edible chews, bones, and other similar objects used to entertain or reward or please dogs. The dog toy container having a pedal arrangement and a lid in connection with a motorized movement arrangement, such that when a dog depresses the pedal arrangement with its paw, the dog will activate the motor to lift or lower the lid and thereby permit the dog access to the storage area.

A bottle seal breaker cap breaks a foil substrate seal on the top of the body of a medicine or supplement bottle. It has one or more notches, preferably a single notch, extending up from the bottom peripheral lip of a bottle cap, including a cutting surface deep enough to cut into a sealed foil substrate installed for sanitary reasons on top of the body of a medicine or supplement bottle.

A bottle carrier for use with a bottle is disclosed. The bottle has a screw cap. The bottle carrier has a diameter of at least two inches. An internally threaded socket has a solid ceiling and a perimeter. The internally threaded socket receives an externally threaded bottle top of the bottle. The bottle carrier replaces the screw cap. At least two apertures in the bottle carrier receive a handle. The apertures extend through the bottle carrier beyond the perimeter of the internally threaded socket. A handle engages the bottle carrier through at least two apertures of the bottle carrier.

An identification system for identifying contents within a bottle. The identification system introduces a label upon a sidewall of a cap of the bottle or as a billboard extending upward from a top surface of the cap. The location improves the visibility of the indicia located on the label easing the identification process when the bottles are placed behind one another, on a shelf above eye level or any other location where the view of the content identifying indicia can potentially be obstructed from view. The label can be wrapped about the cap sidewall, adhered to the cap sidewall or be designed to include an upright billboard extending from the cap top surface. The billboard variant can transform from a planar stored configuration to an upright display configuration.

A door for allowing access to an interior space of a housing, one end of the housing is sealed with a cover having a plurality of cover components, the door comprising: a sun gear comprising a rotational axis, the sun gear is attached to the housing; a ring having a central axis coaxially disposed with the rotational axis of the sun gear; and a plurality of planetary gears evenly distributed about the central axis of the ring, each the planetary gear comprising a rotational axis and rotationally coupled to the ring and the sun gear, wherein the rotational axis of each the planetary gear is disposed parallel to the central axis of the ring, wherein each of the cover components is configured to be attached to one of the plurality of planetary gears and when the ring is rotated with respect to the housing, the plurality of cover components separate.
