A spouted pouch (1) has a spout (10) with a neck (14) extending upward from an attachment portion (12). A cap unit (30) has a cap body (35) and an integrated ring member (50), made as one piece of plastic. A ring member is integrally formed to the lower edge of the skirt of the cap body and comprises an annular base portion (51) connected via breakable bridges (53) to the skirt. The base portion and the spout body (11) have cooperating permanent snap-fit joint portions (56, 21, 23) that keep the ring member fixed to the spout upon removal of the cap body. The pouch further comprises a flow control device (80) made distinct from the spout and from the cap unit. The flow control device is mounted to the neck (14) and has an external part (82) located outside of the exterior surface of the neck. The cap body is arranged over the neck and the flow control device. The ring member and the external part of the flow control device have cooperating retention portions (55, 83).

A dispensing system may include a fluid container and a container receptacle. The fluid container may include a stacked arrangement of cross-slit valves through which a rigid projecting member of the container receptacle may be inserted through. Upon insertion of the rigid projecting member therethrough, fluid from the fluid container may flow into a tank of a 3D printing system through a dispensing channel of the rigid projecting member. The stacked arrangement of cross-slit valves acts a partial seal around the rigid projecting member, preventing fluid from leaking out of the fluid container from the outer surface of the rigid projecting member, while at the same time allowing ambient air to flow into the fluid container so as to backfill the partial vacuum created by the dispensing of the fluid from the fluid container.

A valve (100) includes a base (110) defining a central axis (114). The valve (100) includes a post (118) connected to the base (110) and extending axially outwardly from the base (110), in the direction along the central axis (114). The valve (100) includes at least one flow aperture (122) in one or both of the base (110) and/or the post (118). The valve (100) further includes a flexible membrane (126) having an orifice (130) and having a non-dispensing configuration wherein the orifice (130) is located proximate to the post (118) to minimize communication through the valve (100). The flexible membrane (126) has a dispensing configuration wherein the orifice (130) is moved away from the post (118) for establishing communication through the valve (100).

A dispenser actuator assembly (100) for actuating a dispenser (10) has a base member (102) operably connected to an actuator assembly (104). The dispenser (10) is in the form of a glass ampoule assembly (10) having a rupturable glass ampoule (12) containing a flowable material (M). The glass ampoule (12) is contained within an outer container (14). The glass ampoule assembly (10) has an applicator (16) positioned in the outer container (14). The dispenser actuator assembly (100) has the base member (102) that is configured to mount on the outer container (14). The actuator assembly (104) has a first actuator arm (132a) and a second actuator arm (132b) each pivotally connected to the base member (102). The first actuator arm (132a) has a first protrusion (150a) depending therefrom and the second actuator arm (132b) has a second protrusion (150b) depending therefrom. The first actuator arm (132a) and the second actuator arm (132b) are pivotable such that the first protrusion (150a) and the second protrusion (150b) engage the outer container (14) to rupture the glass ampoule (12).

A vent assembly for use with a drinking vessel includes a flexible ventilation member configured to sealingly engage an opening in the drinking vessel and having an air passage extending therethrough, wherein the ventilation member is configured to allow an inflow of air when pressure within the drinking vessel enters a negative pressure state in relation to pressure outside the drinking vessel, wherein the ventilation member comprises one or more venting portions disposed within the air passage. A vent actuator is operably coupled to the ventilation member and configured to change a state of the ventilation member between a ventilation state and a closed state, wherein the vent actuator is integral with the ventilation member and configured to bring the ventilation member into the ventilation state upon contact with a cam portion.

A drink making device including a hood, a base configured to support at least four bottles, a tower connecting the base and the hood; and a dispenser for dispensing a beverage. The hood includes at least four attachment connectors. Liquid from the bottles is selectively pumped through the connectors through the dispenser to dispense a beverage.

The device (100) for packaging and dispensing a product, liquid or in gel form, optionally for an ophthalmic application, comprises a container (1) containing the product to be dispensed by a dispensing head (7), as well as a refilling and filtering assembly for the air entering the container (1) after a dispensing, the dispensing head delimiting one or more dosing chambers (5) and including at its end a flexible part (7) which can be actuated to allow the release of the dose of product in a compressed state of said chamber (5). The air refilling and filtering assembly has a sterilizing filter (11) which cooperates with a check valve (12), this assembly (11, 12) being typically located in a central or inner portion of the head (7). The supply of outside air is accomplished by means of a channel (16) leading to an outer orifice (10) able to be obturated by a cover (15).

The vented pouring spout includes a main body and a valve system movable between a normally closed position and a fully opened position. The main body includes a first member and a second member. The valve system includes a valve member and two spaced-apart and parallel stems projecting from an inner side of the valve member into the first member. A push button is mounted within a housing and is in an axial force-transmitting engagement with the stems. The spout, among other things, can include a child-resistant closure (CRC) device that can be operated using a single finger, for instance the thumb or any other finger, and while holding a small container.

A valve carrier ring for carrying a self-closing dispensing valve is adapted to be assembled with a closure body of a container. The valve carrier ring includes an annular seat portion including a support surface for supporting a retaining portion of the valve and a circumferential wall located radially outwards of the support surface and extending coaxially with the support surface. The circumferential wall has a preformed radial protrusion adapted to extend over the retaining portion of the valve for providing a preliminary retention of the retaining portion in the seat portion. A snap bead is formed at a radial outer side of the valve carrier ring adapted to cooperate with a means of the closure body to provide a snap connection between the valve carrier ring and the closure body. The radial protrusion is constituted by a flexible inwardly inclined extremity of the circumferential wall.

Provided is a container for drinking a liquid comprising: a) a cylindrical body with a cavity for holding the liquid and an opening at the top, wherein a cylindrical shape of the body does not change based on the liquid leaving the cavity; b) a member for removably attaching to the top of the body, the member having an opening for movement of the liquid; c) a cap in shape of glans for removably attaching directly or indirectly to the member, the cap not having an opening for movement of the liquid to outside of the body; and d) a nipple, with an opening, placed above the body in fluid communication with the cavity; wherein the container is configured to allow the liquid to leave the body and move to the outside of the container based on the cap being removed; wherein the container is configured to be used both as a dildo and a container for drinking the liquid.
