A liquid dispensing device includes a multifunction membrane valve that, in addition to allowing the dispensing of drops with a drop-check mechanism, ensures and isolates the passage of the air to be filtered so that it does not contaminate the liquid in the interior of the dispensing device; it has a reduced number of parts; it facilitates proper assembly by counter pressure, without the need for threads or complex coupling elements; it avoids the need for rotational alignment when assembling the parts, among other advantages.

A closure assembly for a container filled or fillable with a pourable product comprising at least a lid having a first rim, a ring member having a second rim facing the first rim and one or more coupling elements, each one being connected to the first rim and to the second rim. Each coupling element comprises at least one respective intermediate portion, one respective first curved portion connected to the first rim and the intermediate portion and one respective second curved portion connected to the second rim and the intermediate portion. The intermediate portion is inclined with respect to the first rim and/or the second rim.

A dispensing closure (10) comprising an actuator disc (20) and a base (15) is provided. The disc is pivotally mounted on the base and is pivotable between a closed position which prevents fluid product dispensing and an open position which allows product fluid dispensing. The closure comprises a transport lock (24) for preventing the disc moving from the closed to the open position.

A container for holding a fluid is disclosed. The container comprises an inner sleeve having a first opening and a second opening opposite the first opening, and an outer sleeve having a third opening and a fourth opening opposite the third opening. The inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are made of paper. The first opening has a first reinforcing element which extends into the first opening, and the third opening has a second reinforcing element which extends into the third opening. Further, the container comprises a functional insert. The outer sleeve has a larger diameter than the inner sleeve so that the inner sleeve is insertable into the outer sleeve through the fourth opening such that the insert is fastened between the first reinforcing element and the second reinforcing element.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods provided herein are useful for dispensing a fluid, such as a thixotropic fluid. In some embodiments, a bottle having a closure cap includes a flip top, a base, and a disk, where the base and disk define a mixing chamber configured to facilitate mixing of any serum or liquid separated from the fluid back therein. In some configurations, the base has a central opening through which the fluid exits and an internal shaft with a non-planar end surface opposite the central opening. In some configurations, the non-planar end surface and the disk define channels between the mixing chamber and the internal shaft. In some embodiments, the disk includes a central opening, a plurality of partial annular openings through a planar surface of the disk, and projections extending into the mixing chamber.

A dosing bottle has a container; a riser; a cap piece; a standpipe connected to the riser and one or more return openings in a tubular wall of the standpipe; and a closure member. The closure member is rotatably attached to the cap piece and defines an interior dosing volume and a dispenser opening. The closure member is axially movable relative to the cap piece between a closed position and an open position. The open position allows a liquid in the interior volume of the container to flow through the riser and through the return opening and into the interior dosing volume.

A double container pouring cap that can abut an air valve in an intended state and stably exhibit performance related to the air valve, and a double container includes: an air valve that can abut on and separate from a back surface of a cap body, and blocks air flow from a vent to an outside air inlet, while allowing air flow from the outside air inlet to the vent; and an inner plug provided to face the back surface of the cap body with the air valve interposed between, and including a regulation part that abuts on a part of the air valve and limits separation of the air valve from the back surface of the cap body. A first abutting surface of the air valve where the regulation part abuts is a flat surface.
