An improved container blank of foldable material and resulting structure to hold a fluid filled carton is provided.

The present invention relates to a dumping-type automatic quantitative liquid discharging device, which comprises an accommodating cavity for accommodating liquid, a first liquid storage cavity and a second liquid storage cavity for storing quantitative liquid, and a fluid channel; the second liquid storage cavity further comprises a liquid storage part; the liquid storage part captures and stores a part of liquid to become a new quantitative liquid; when the device is reset, the quantitative liquid stored in the second liquid storage cavity will be received and stored by the first liquid storage cavity; and a quantitative liquid discharging method, which comprises the following steps: providing a dumping-type automatic quantitative liquid discharging device, and pouring the liquid into an accommodating cavity; connecting a device cover with the accommodating cavity; tilting the dumping-type automatic quantitative liquid discharging device to allow quantitative liquid to flow out.

A pitcher assembly includes a pitcher including a wall connected to a bottom defining a picture volume. The wall defines an opening at the top edge of the pitcher and a spout is formed at the top edge of the pitcher. A lid is removably fitted to the opening, the lid having a vertical wall extending from the skirt at the spout, and a second wall extending into the spout. The first and second walls cooperate with the spout and the skirt to at least partially block liquid from unintentionally splashing out of the pitcher volume. The lid may also include an energy-absorbing material disposed between a vertically displaceable float body and the lid.

A removable additive assembly includes a vessel and a pump module or nozzle housing. The vessel defines an interior volume configured to hold an additive, such as a flavoring and/or nutritional (e.g., vitamin) additive. The pump includes an actuator that is configured to attach to a reciprocating coupler that can drive the pump to create cyclical intake and discharge strokes to pump the additive through the nozzle. The removable additive assembly may be a portion or component of an additive assembly that includes actuating components and one or more reciprocating couplers configured to drive one or more pumps of one or more removable additive assemblies.
