A compression seal container includes a base with a cover, the cover including a selectively seal to engage with the upper rim of the base. The cover includes a core plate with a cylindrical central column and mounts a peripheral gasket. A slide plate mounts on the central column, and has a periphery to engage the upper rim of the base. A grip plate also mounts on the central column. Threaded engagement of the grip plate to the central column ensures that rotation of the grip plate moves the core plate toward or away from the slide plate to cause or release compression of the gasket. The closed outer end of the central core is transparent to create a window to view contents. The threads include a pawl and detent combination to create tactile indication of the extent of operable rotation of the grip plate.

A zipper carton includes a first panel having an elongated slot extending therethrough, the slot having a length extending between opposing ends. A locking panel assembly includes a removable zipper tear strip and a locking tab having a linear length that is greater than the length of the slot. The locking tab includes a base projecting from the removable zipper tear strip and a first retention flap projecting from the base and being foldable relative to the base. The locking tab is configured so that when the first retention flap is folded from a relaxed position to a folded position, at least a portion of the locking tab including the first retention flap can be slid through the slot and after the first retention flap passes through the slot, the retention flap automatically resiliently rebounds at least partially toward the relaxed position so as to block retraction of the locking tab from the slot.

A tie well-suited for use in retail packaging applications includes a plastic head insert molded around one end of a paper-based cord, such as a length of twine, string or other similar environmentally-friendly material. In one embodiment, the plastic head includes a generally rectangular buckle shaped to define an elongated channel dimensioned to receive the free end of the paper-based cord. A deflectable pawl is coupled to the buckle and is naturally biased to project into the channel and selectively engage the cord in order to retain the tie in a closed loop configuration. The buckle includes a substantially open side wall through which the paper-based cord can be extracted after the tie is formed in its closed loop configuration. A clip is preferably provided on the head for selectively retaining a section of the paper-cord that has been inserted through the elongated channel.

An anti-theft bottle cap having a lower cap (1), an upper cap (2), and an anti-theft mechanism (3) provided therebetween; an opening (5) in communication with an interior of a container (6) is provided on the lower cap (1); the bottle cap also has a flip plate (21) which prevents prying of the anti-theft mechanism (3); the flip plate (21) is a grabbing part which is grabbed to facilitate opening of the upper cap when it is necessary to pour liquid oil out of the bottle. Since the flip plate (21) partially blocks the anti-theft mechanism, the anti-theft mechanism can be prevented from being pried undamaged, thereby achieving better anti-theft effect.

An elongated tubular housing adapted to receive an adjustable external compression device introduced on one end of the tubular housing distal from the opening releasing the contents, and retained in position by a member engaging a grooved strip that is integrated with and/or retained on the housing surface material with a strip surface of like material, providing a reliable, economic and functional outer compression member retention apparatus and method. Further embodiments according to the present invention include a dispenser having regions provided for ease and comfort of gripping, grooved strip end-stop to retain compression device, and grooved strip dimensional and placement details to provide functional, manufacturable and economic material dispenser.

A dispensing device for dispensing a viscous or liquid product from a fluid reservoir, and having an actuator 1, a controlling member 2, a dispensing member 3, a collar 4 configured to be linked to the reservoir, and an extender 5. The dispensing device configured so that an actuation of the controlling member 2 causes a relative movement of the actuator 1 and the collar 4 thanks to which the dispensing device reversibly switches from a first configuration, in which the dispensing member 3 is unable to be activated, to a second configuration in which the actuator 1 is coupled in translation with the extender 5, so that when the actuator is pushed down 1 it activates the dispensing member 3.

The invention comprises a lid configured to close the open end of a container, wherein the lid comprises a track disposed at least partially circumferentially within a peripheral portion of the lid, at least one insertion point within the track, and at least one retention region within the track. A ring is disposed circumferentially about the container, wherein the ring comprises at least one post which is configured to be inserted into and removed from the at least one insertion point and retained within the retention region. At least one of the ring and the lid are circumferentially rotatable between a locked position, wherein the at least one post is within the at least one retention region and an unlocked position, wherein the at least one post is within the at least one insertion point.

An elongated tubular housing adapted to receive an adjustable external compression device introduced on one end of the tubular housing distal from the opening releasing the contents, and retained in position by a member engaging a grooved strip that is integrated with and/or retained on the housing surface material with a strip surface of like material, providing a reliable, economic and functional outer compression member retention apparatus and method. Further embodiments according to the present invention include a dispenser having regions provided for ease and comfort of gripping, grooved strip end-stop to retain compression device, and grooved strip dimensional and placement details to provide functional, manufacturable and economic material dispenser.

Assembly (1) for packaging and dispensing a product, in particular a cosmetic product, comprising a reservoir (10) delimiting an internal volume (14) intended to contain a product and comprising an opening (16a) for accessing said internal volume (14), provided with at least one inner shoulder (18c), and a member (20) for closing the opening (16a) of the reservoir, comprising a mounting skirt (22) that extends along an elevation axis (Z-Z) and is mounted in the reservoir, and closes the opening (16a) of said reservoir (10). The closure member (20) comprises a fastening lip (28) delimited axially by a proximal end (28a) connected to the mounting skirt (22) and a free distal end (28b), on the opposite side from the proximal end (28a), the fastening lip (28) being folded and radially surrounding the mounting skirt and the distal end (28b) of said fastening lip (28) butting axially against the shoulder (18c) of the reservoir (10).

A mobile smart container system comprises a housing, an access component configured to secure access to a compartment within the housing when in a closed position, a communication interface configured to wirelessly receive a request to access the compartment, a perceivable output device, an electromechanical latch configured to engage with the access component to releasably lock the access component in the closed position, and a processor. The processor receives and authenticates the request to access the compartment and, in response to receiving and authenticating the request, activates the electromechanical latch to unlock the access component to make the compartment accessible, and outputs, upon actuation of the electromechanical latch, an alert via the perceivable output device to identify the smart container system.
