A one-way valve adapted to be provided in a pressable container from which material is ejected wherein the valve includes: two adjacent tongues extending from a circumference of the pressable container, wherein the two adjacent tongues have two states: a first state wherein the tongues are not folded on a fold line, thereby the material passes between the tongues; and a second state wherein the tongues are folded on the fold line and prevent passage of material through them; and an opening, for ejecting the material therethrough at the first state, wherein the opening is disposed above the fold line at the first state, and below the fold line at the second state.

An oral care product comprises a package comprising a container and an applicator tip attached to the container. The applicator tip comprises a material having a Shore A hardness of from about 15 to about 80 and has a dispensing orifice in fluid communication with the container. The dispensing orifice has a minimum diameter of at least about 0.5 mm, preferably at least about 1 mm. The oral care product further comprises an oral care composition contained within the container of the package, wherein the oral care composition comprises an oral care active and has a cone penetration value of from about 10 to about 500, preferably from about 100 to about 300.

A dispenser (10) for dispensing a flowable material M has a container (12) having an outer wall (20) and membrane (14) collectively defining a first chamber (22) configured to contain the flowable material M. The membrane (14) has a thickness and a weld seam (40) wherein the weld seam (40) has a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane (14). A fracturing mechanism (16) is operably connected to the container (12). The fracturing mechanism (16) has an extending member (64) projecting from the outer wall (20) of the container (12). The extending member (64) has a projection (66) positioned proximate the membrane (14), wherein in response to deflection of the extending member (64), the projection (66) deflects the outer wall (20) proximate the membrane (14) wherein the weld seam (40) fractures creating an opening (41) through the membrane (14) configured to allow the flowable material M to pass therethrough and from the dispenser (10).

A container for dispensing a flowable material includes a body member having a neck portion containing an opening for dispensing the flowable material, a collapsible mid portion adjacent the neck portion, and a non-collapsible tail portion adjacent the mid portion that serves as a blade for smoothing the flowable material after the flowable material has been dispensed from the container. Also disclosed is such a container having a cap and an abrasive assembly including a lid and an abrasive element for sanding the hardened material.

A squeeze container (10) that includes a container body (13) including squeezable/deformable press-deforming portions (27), and that discharges a content contained in an inner bag (11) inside the outer container (13) by squeezing (pressing) the press-deforming portions (27). The outer container (13) has a tubular body portion (12) including: the press-deforming portions (27); and longitudinal-direction reinforcing portions (13e) molded integrally with the press-deforming portions (27). A pair of longitudinal-direction reinforcing portions (13e) is provided, the longitudinal-direction reinforcing portions extending in a longitudinal direction at respective two locations opposing one another in a radial direction of the tubular body portion (12). A pair of press-deforming portions (27) is provided, the press-deforming portions being arranged in respective sections between the pair of longitudinal-direction reinforcing portions (13e) so as to oppose one another, and each preferably having an arcuate cross-sectional shape so as to form the overall circular hollow cross-sectional shape of the outer container (13).
