A liquid consumption device has a tank having an inner space partitioned by an outer wall. The tank has a first inner wall which extends from the outer wall on a one side in a first direction perpendicular to an up-down direction. Further, the first inner wall partitions the inner space into a first space and a second space, which communicate with each other through a first communication hole formed on the first inner wall. A third space, which is partitioned by the first inner wall and the outer wall, and is located below a lowermost position of a surface defining the first communication hole when the tank takes a first attitude is configured to store a particular amount of liquid, which is stored in a fourth space in a state where the tank takes the usage attitude, the fourth space being a part of the second space.

A container providing improved features. The container prevents uncontrolled dripping of a liquid and directs a liquid drop present on a cap which closes the spout back into the container when the cap is open. The container includes a series of measuring indicators on the base for measuring a volume of material, such as a liquid. Also, the cover includes a further series of inverted measuring indicators for measuring a volume of material. The invention likewise includes a measuring device for measuring two or more liquids or dry ingredients such as by providing volume measuring indicators on a cover for a container as well as on the container. The measuring device may be a single measuring device which measures two or more liquids or dry materials, and may be configured for mixing the measured materials together in the same measuring device.

A multifunctional bottle cap/top designed to seal liquor bottles and to measure a variety of volumes for serving alcohol is disclosed. The cap/top is of one-piece construction with a tapered wall extending from a circular top end to a circular bottom end, and an inner cavity calibrated to hold a measured volume(s). The cap/top includes a plurality of threads on the inner surface for engaging with various bottlenecks. In another embodiment, the cap/top includes a digital display on the outer surface, an embedded weight sensor for accurate volume measurement, and a plurality of LEDs. The cap/top is adapted to be used as a shot glass for direct consumption of, for example, 1-ounce of alcohol, or portions/multiples thereof.

A closure device for a container to provide a combined protection of inert gas and oxygen scavenger methods. The closure device comprises a body, a fastening member, one or more plurality of protrusions, a blister, a hollow shaft, and a seal member. The closure device is removably coupled to an open end of the container through a fastening assembly. The fastening assembly includes at least one of friction fit, a snap fit, a screw fit, or any of a variety of fastening mechanisms. The closure device provides a combined protection of inert gas and oxygen scavenger methods. This is beneficial because it prevents nutritional and organoleptic degradation processes of wine through oxidation while aids to preserve the fruitier and fresher aromas and flavors of the wine. The closure device is designed to fit snugly over the neck of the bottle and create an airtight seal.

A method of injection molding a test tube-shaped preform for biaxial stretch blow molding includes supplying a major material resin from outer and inner flow paths to a combined flow path for a predetermined time and rate. For a period of time within a range of the predetermined time period during which the major material resin is supplied, the intermediate layer resin is simultaneously supplied from the middle flow path to the combined flow path at a second predetermined supplying rate. A columnar laminated molten resin is injected into a cavity of a metal mold connected to a tip of the nozzle through a gate to fill the cavity, the columnar laminated molten resin being composed of the major material resin and the intermediate layer resin formed in the major material resin in a laminated manner that are combined into a columnar shape at the combined flow path.

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.

A container assembly for storing multiple liquids is disclosed. The container assembly comprises a container body having a first compartment and a second compartment. Each compartment comprises an upper end, an opening at the upper end, and a lower end. The container assembly further comprises an insulator provided between the first compartment and the second compartment configured to separate both compartments, thereby allowing the container body to store multiple liquids simultaneously. Further, the container assembly further comprises a rotatable lid detachably attached to the upper end of the container body configured to prevent and stop any leakage, wherein the rotatable lid is activated to set the amount of liquid to be dispensed from each compartment.

A system for allowing a user to automatically measure the contents in a container. The system has a base for holding the contents within the container, a lid for the base of the container, a central processing unit within the container, an antenna connected to the central processing unit for transmitting data. a software application running on a mobile device for communicating with the central processing unit, a remote server for connecting to the central processing unit and to the internet and a sensor device connected to the central processing unit to create data files about the container. The system is characterized in that the sensor device has a particle detector for measuring the contents of the container.

A spice preparation and storage assembly for includes a cylinder that is comprised of a translucent material and a lid that is removably attachable to the cylinder. A magnifying lens is integrated into the lid to magnify contents of the cylinder. A plurality of caps is provided which includes a grinder cap, a scale cap and a closing cap. The grinder cap has a grinding unit that is rotatably integrated into the grinder cap to grind the contents of the cylinder when the grinder cap is attached to the cylinder and the grinding unit is turned on. A weight sensor is movably integrated into the scale cap to sense the weight of the contents of the cylinder when the scale cap is attached to the cylinder.
