Presented are a spout assembly, bottle and a method of forming. An exemplary spout assembly includes a tubular spout, the cylindrical spout having an endless wall defining a passage, the endless wall having a top open edge fluidly connecting the passage, a bottom open edge fluidly connecting the hollow passage, and at least three vertical ribs extending inwardly from the endless wall within the passage. The spout assembly further includes a tilted trough extending from the bottom open edge circumscribing the tubular spout, the trough having at least one opening located such that fluid flow is directed toward the at least one opening. The spout assembly still further includes a cylindrical side wall extending from the tilted trough.

A mixing container and a method for the manufacturing thereof provide a mixing container which offers high pressure-resistance performance while allowing the sealing membrane to be easily broken when the containers are coupled together, by having the sealing membrane formed in an integrated manner with the metallic bottle end and arranging a breaking line on the sealing membrane. Also, the method for manufacturing a mixing container with which the time and effort required for manufacturing the mixing container may be reduced, to allow mass production at a low cost, as the holding body made from a synthetic resin material and the bottle end made from a metallic material are manufactured separately and subsequently seamed together.

In an aspect, a cap liner comprises a sintered fluoropolymer layer; and a backing layer; wherein the sintered fluoropolymer layer is in direct physical contact with the backing layer with no intervening layer located there between. In another aspect, a method of forming the cap liner of comprises plasma etching the sintered fluoropolymer layer to form a sintered plasma etched layer; and laminating the sintered plasma etched layer and the backing layer to form the cap liner.

A container assembly includes a container having a neck defining an opening into the container and a spout disposed in the neck of the container. The spout includes an outer sidewall defining an interior of the spout. The spout includes a flange projecting radially outward from the outer sidewall. The spout includes a plurality of spout teeth extending from a bottom surface of the flange and disposed around a perimeter of the outer sidewall. The neck of the container includes a plurality of neck teeth disposed along an interior surface of the neck and coupled with the spout teeth.

A portable, personal apparatus for transporting liquid having a bottle configured to contain liquid. The bottle has a longitudinal axis. A first opening open in a direction generally parallel with the longitudinal axis in a pour position. A first cover coupled to the bottle and configured to close the first opening in a closed position. A second opening open in a direction generally orthogonal with the longitudinal axis in a fill position. A second cover coupled to the bottle and configured to close the second opening in a storage position. The second cover remaining coupled to the bottle when the second cover is in the fill position.

A cap on a bottle is selectively opened to permit passage of liquid to and from the chamber and closed to prevent passage of liquid. The cap has a collar that threads onto the bottle's mouth and a shroud that moves relative to the collar by applying a longitudinal force to the shroud's shoulder. By applying the force, the shroud moves longitudinally toward the bottle. In some embodiments, a valve is thereby rotated to unblock a throat so that liquid may pass from the opening defined by the shoulder to the chamber in the receptacle. In other embodiments, a dome is thereby displaced longitudinally to unblock the throat so that liquid may pass through.

A container comprising a container body having a neck, the neck having inner and outer surfaces and a rim extending between tops of the inner and outer surfaces, and the rim defining a circular opening. The closure has a centre panel, the closure defining an annular channel. An annular gasket is disposed in the annular channel and the annular channel receives said rim of said neck such that the annular gasket forms a seal between said rim and said closure. When the container body is closed by the closure, the difference between an inside radius of the annular channel at a channel depth of 0.2 mm and an inside radius of said rim is less than substantially 0.9 mm.
