A packing system for safely packing fragile household item for moving or storage. The packing system provides a number of packing devices which include a pair of ends bridged by a central portion, and a pair of elastic skirts along the central portion, all of which form a cup-like shape for receiving the fragile household item. A variety of sizes of the packing devices could be combined within a single kit. They could be color coded. An embodiment of the invention employs unused diapers as the packing devices. These could be donated or otherwise procured.

A display container for displaying an aromatic botanical specimen includes: (a) a container body for enclosing the botanical specimen and scented air having a scent of the botanical specimen; (b) at least one scent discharge port in the container body; and (c) an air pump coupled to the container body and operable to discharge the scented air from within the container body to the environment through the at least one scent discharge port.

Aspects of the present invention disclose and describe embodiment containers for displaying, visualizing, and aroma sampling botanical materials—such as tea, cannabis, and the like including a container body, lid, and lens—which may have various shapes. In a preferred embodiment, lid is shaped to define a recessed area with scent openings permitting aroma sampling of a sample contained within. A removable plug is shaped to fit within the recessed area of the lid. The container body and lid, with removable plug fit within the lid, form an airtight chamber within. A botanical sample may be visualized through the lens.

A dispenser includes a housing having an upper and a lower portion. The upper portion includes a storage compartment having a floor and retaining a granular substance. The lower portion includes a spout. A first outlet extends through the floor. A manually rotatable upper disc is disposed below the floor, and has a second outlet therethrough. A manually rotatable lower disc is disposed between the upper disc and the lower portion. The lower disc includes a third outlet therethrough. Rotation of the upper disc aligns the second outlet with the first outlet and the granular substance passes through the first to the second outlet. Rotation of the lower disc through one or more positions permits a variable amount of the granular substance to pass from the second to the third outlet. Further rotation of the lower disc aligns the third outlet with the spout to dispense the granular substance.

There are described bottle cap assemblies. In some embodiments, a bottle cap assembly includes a cap which is snappingly engagable to a bottle and disengageable by rotating the cap and the bottle relative to one another, squeezing the cap suitably and pulling the cap away from the bottle.

The invention relates to a method for packaging educational kits, in particular, for packaging construction sets, logic and board games, and teaching-aid kits. A container, which is part of the packaging, is used simultaneously for storage, for assessing the completeness of a set, for sorting components into sections, for assembling complex models, and for exchange between individuals or groups. The technical result is achieved with the aid of a graphic identifier, which specifies the location of each component according to a particular shape and/or color. The graphic identifier is applied to the upper or lower surface of a container's lodgment plate. A building element and its specific identifier are arranged alongside one another so as to be visible simultaneously, making a mismatch of the two items impossible to miss; the completeness of the entire kit is easily determined on the basis of all the components matching their specific identifiers.

The invention relates to a siplid 2, a container provided with such siplid and a method therefor. The siplid comprises: • - a container side 4, a consumer side 6, and a siplid plane 12 having a siplid axis 14; • - an edge 8 configured for surrounding a container opening to cover the container opening; • - a drinking opening 18 in the siplid having a length L substantially extending in the circumferential direction of the siplid, and having a width W substantially extending in the radial direction of the siplid; • - a moveable tab 20 configured for covering the opening in a closed position; • - a recess 22 configured for receiving the moveable tab in an open position; • - a hinge 32 configured for enabling rotational movement of the tab around a hinge axis; and • - a section line 16 extending in the siplid plane dividing the opening in two equal parts, and a division line 34 in between the opening and the recess extending substantially perpendicular to the section line wherein the hinge axis is provided at a lid angle to the division line.

Container for releasing volatile substances, comprising a container body (1) that contains a liquid with volatile substances and that is provided with an aperture (2); a porous membrane (3) that closes the aperture (2) of the container body (1); and wherein the porous membrane (3) is transparent when it is in contact with the liquid in the container body (1).

The invention provides a container for releasing volatile substances that permits to show the user that the releasing of the volatile substances is exhausted in a very simply way.

A wine bottle is provided with a punt at a lower end which includes a cork retainer therein. A cork can thus be stored within the cork retainer. In one embodiment, the cork retainer includes two retainer surfaces which are opposing each other horizontally, and spaced apart by a length similar to opposing portions of the cork to allow the cork to fit tightly between these retainer surfaces. Space above the retainer surfaces can hold a foil wrap with the cork within the cork retainer and holding the foil wrap in place. Full re-use of the bottle is thus facilitated. In one embodiment, the bottle has an octagonal shape so that multiple bottles can be shipped together and placed adjacent each other with flat surfaces distributing loads therebetween, without forces concentrated at points thereof, and to keep the bottles in good shape for washing, re-filling and re-use.

A method for producing a container includes identifying a location at a body, with the body at this location having a stress parameter which has a value less than or equal to a threshold value. The identifying includes deriving the threshold value from a simulation result of a simulation based on a finite element method of the stress parameter for a surface area and/or a volume area of the body with or without a marking element present, the identifying also includes obtaining a mean value by the simulation for the stress parameter for at least a part of at least one of the surface area or the volume area of the body. The threshold value is a sum of the mean value and 1000 % or less of an absolute value of the mean value. A marking element is provided which allows identification of the container at the identified location.
