Embodiments relate to a food container assembly having a removable internal dispensing bag or enclosure. Food product(s) such as baby food, liquids or other product(s) or material can be loaded and/or stored in the internal enclosure, which is then enclosed within an external protective enclosure, with an opening for access to product(s) stored in the internal enclosure. Straws, spoons, or other utensils can be used. The external enclosure can include snap fits or other connections to enclose the external enclosure around the internal enclosure, so that the internal enclosure can be accessed and removed for washing, reloading of food, or other handling. The external enclosure or other bag or enclosure can include a pocket for an ice pack or insulation. The external enclosure can protect against mold, fungus, or other spoilage or contamination, and can be used repeatedly to enclose bags storing various food products.

Multi-chamber applicator (1) comprising a multi-chamber container (2) for storing at least two subcomponents, said chamber comprising a device (3) for removing a mixture of the subcomponents.

A positioning apparatus for restraining an object includes a base plate, an attachment plate, and a securing element. The base plate may include guides into which protrusions of the attachment plate slide to alter the positioning apparatus from an open position to a closed position. The base plate also includes receivers to receive tubular members, which have their movement restrained by the receivers and the securing elements in the closed position. The positioning apparatus may also include a latch to help maintain the closed position during operation.

A sample consumable that carries a microvolume of sample to a sample loader. The consumable is precisely aligned utilizing a double-alignment feature to the loader. The loader is based on a crank-slider geometry and allows for simple, one-handed operation for the user. Overall, the consumable and sample loader increase reproducibility of in-line sample loading and offers ease-of-use.

A cleaning liquid dispensing system comprising the combination of a re-usable container (3) and a replaceable spouted pouch (5) wherein (i) the spouted pouch (5) comprises a flexible pouch body (7) containing a cleaning liquid which dispenses from a rigid pouch spout (9), (ii) the container (3) is rigid and comprises a pouch chamber (11) for holding said spouted pouch, and a pour spout (17) in fluid communication with said rigid pouch spout (9), (iii) the container comprises a handle aperture (19), and (iv) a dosing device (50) is nested in the handle aperture (19).

A paste bottle with a multistage ejection mechanism is provided, the bottle includes an outer bottle, a replaceable inner bottle, and a multistage ejection mechanism. An upper end of the outer bottle is provided with a detachable gland, a lower end of the outer bottle is connected with a rotary seat which can rotate circumferentially. An upper end of the inner bottle body is mounted in alignment with the outer bottle and forms an accommodating area with the outer bottle. The multistage ejection mechanism is arranged in the accommodating area. The multistage ejection mechanism includes a middle stud, an intermediate screw sleeve and an outer screw sleeve. The multistage ejection mechanism can effectively utilize space inside the inner bottle.

Problem A container for viscous substances, especially liquids, is typically operated such that discharge is effected by, for example, folding or pumping action exerted by a means provided atop the container. Complete emptying of a conventional container in most cases cannot be achieved. Some residues may be removed by the action of gravity. However, for substances of higher viscosity, retrieving residues from the container remains a challenge. Furthermore, the shelf life of the fluid may be adversely affected by ambient air entering the container as it is being emptied. The invention aims to facilitate an almost complete discharge of a container, regardless of gravity. Moreover, the viscous fluid is to be preserved in vacuum to prolong its shelf life. Solution Container for a preferably viscous fluid having a compressible, preferably elastic, outer body (1) and an inner body (2) opening out of the container and comprising the fluid, characterized in that captive air is enclosed between the outer body (1) and inner body (2) and the inner body (2) is affixed within the outer body (1) such that when compressive force is applied upon the outer body (1), the captive air transfers the force unto the inner body (2), displacing and discharging the fluid from the container.

The invention relates to a closure device comprising a closure wall having a communication conduit passing through it and intended to close the opening of a container of a product and a stopper movable in the duct. The stopper comprises a cavity open on one side of the wall, closed by a bottom and comprising at least one lateral opening. In the closed position, this bottom closes the conduit, and in the open position, the side opening(s) and said bottom exit the conduit, the conduit thus being open in fluid communication through the stopper. The invention also relates to a product refill comprising a container closed by this closure device. It also relates to a dispensing device comprising this refill and a dispensing head.

The present invention relates to a tablet dispenser. The tablet dispenser includes: an accommodation part provided with a plurality of cartridge accommodation compartments into which tablet cartridge assemblies configured to accommodate tablets therein and discharge the tablets and each provided with a discharge unit and a cartridge identification unit are inserted and mounted; a plurality of mounting detection units located in the respective cartridge accommodation compartments, and configured to detect the cartridge identification units of the tablet cartridge assemblies; a plurality of discharge driving units located in the respective cartridge accommodation compartments, and configured to drive the discharge units so that the tablets are discharged from the tablet cartridge assemblies; and a control unit connected to the mounting detection units and the discharge driving units, and configured to obtain information through the mounting detection units and control the discharge driving units.

A plastic cutlery dispenser having a base and a cartridge is described. The cartridge may be slideable relative to the base. In some embodiments, the base has a base dispensing mechanism and the cartridge has a cartridge dispensing mechanism configured to mate with the base dispensing mechanism. In some embodiments, when the base and cartridge dispensing mechanisms mate, the cutlery dispenser is configured to dispense cutlery located within the cartridge one piece of cutlery at a time.
