One container system includes a transparent display, a projector for providing image data on the display, and a floor defining part of a watertight cavity. The display is non-perpendicularly angled from horizontal and has proximal and distal ends. And a closure device is provided for use with a watertight container. The closure device is configured to selectively seal an opening in the watertight container and includes coupling structure (a plug, a flange, and/or threading) for selectively coupling the closure device to the watertight container to seal the opening. The closure device further includes non-transitory computer memory, at least one sensor, and a processor in data communication with the memory and the at least one sensor.

A beverage container lid can include an audio speaker; a wireless transceiver to transmit and receive wireless signals; and a hardware processor to process wireless signals received by the wireless transceiver and to output audible signals through the audio speaker. The beverage container lid can also include a water-tight housing, the wireless transceiver and hardware processor contained within the water-tight housing; a drinking aperture; and a fluid channel, the fluid channel to allow fluid to pass through the drinking aperture, and the water-tight housing to prevent fluid passing through the fluid channel from contacting the wireless transceiver and hardware processor.

A flip-top closure includes first and second closure portions. The first closure portion includes a polymeric top wall portion, a sealing mechanism, and a polymeric annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for mating with a container. The second closure portion includes a polymeric tamper-evident band depending from and being partially detachably connected to the skirt portion by a frangible connection. The frangible connection extends partially around the periphery of the closure. The first and second closure portions are attached via at least one hinge. The at least one hinge assists in moving the closure between an open and closed positions after the frangible connection has been broken.

The invention relates to a container comprising: a receptacle with an outer wall visible from outside the container the peripheral outer wall is provided with a translucent layer, a housing that defines an inner space, an electronic circuit that comprises a central light source that emits light in a main emission direction. The light source is offset relative to the translucent layer. The electronic circuit is arranged within the inner space. A wave guide is arranged opposite the light source such as to guide a light wave emitted by the light source into the translucent layer.

A sound producing liquid dispenser has a structure sized and configured to seal an opening in a container, a liquid outlet opening for dispensing liquid from the container, one or more air passageway(s) allowing air to flow between the interior and exterior of the container, and a sound producing mechanism located in proximity to the air passageway. A contoured and/or decorative outer housing may be provided. Various types of sound producing mechanisms are useful, including sound chambers formed (at least in part) by perforated walls or reeds and pea whistles. In some embodiments, the sound producing mechanism may be detachable. In particular embodiments, the sound produced during or following a pouring operation sounds like birdsong, and in some embodiments, a contoured outer housing is provided in the form of a bird.

A dispensing closure (40) for a fluent substance-containing system, such as a container, includes a body (54) for receiving the fluent substance from the system, a locking member (56) assembled with the body (54), and a pivotable actuator (60) assembled with the locking member (56) and defining a dispensing flow passage (190) for discharging the fluent substance. The locking member (56) is rotatable relative to the body (54) from a locking position to an unlocking position to permit a user to pivot the actuator (60) from a closed position to a dispensing, open position. The body (54) has an abutment (110) that extends through the locking member (56) in the locking position to prevent the actuator (60) from moving into the open position. In the unlocking position of the locking member (56), the actuator (60) is not prevented by the abutment (110) from being moved into the open position.

A beverage container with aerosol-emitting device, comprising an opening device arranged on an outer side of the beverage container for opening a drink-through opening cover and an aerosol-emitting device attached to an outer side of the beverage container, which aerosol-emitting device comprises a pressure container for receiving and storing a pressurized propellant gas and a substance to be emitted, a nozzle fluidly connected to the pressure container for emitting an aerosol formed from the propellant gas and the substance to be emitted, and a triggering device for opening the nozzle, which releases the aerosol upon actuation.

A sound producing beverage container including a top surface having an opening in the surface initially sealed with a closure. The sound producing beverage container includes a reed assembly mounted to the top surface. The reed assembly includes a substantially flat reed having opposing leading and trailing reed edges. The reed assembly includes a bridge disposed adjacent the reed. The bridge includes opposing leading and trailing bridge edges and a bulge in the bridge along the leading edge of the bridge, the bulge extending away from the reed. A portion of the leading edge of the reed is disposed between the container top surface and the bridge. A gas moving along the device surface toward the leading edge of the bridge may be directed toward the leading edge of the reed and across the reed leading edge causing the reed to vibrate, the vibration producing a vibratory sound.

A hang tab assembly includes a paper outer layer and inner layer. The outer layer may include a hanging panel, a tear-away panel adjacent to the hanging panel, a first kiss-cut path on an upper surface of the outer layer, and a second kiss-cut path on a lower surface of the tear-away panel, the second kiss-cut path offset from the first. The assembly may include a first adhesive disposed on the lower surface of the tear-away panel, and a second adhesive disposed on a lower surface of the inner layer facing away from the outer layer. The outer layer may include a tear-away portion that tears transversely between offset kiss-cut paths to unseal a sealed package and expose internal paper material to provide visual indication that the package has been unsealed.

A dispenser (10) for easily dispensing a plurality of products (12) contained therewithin is provided. The dispenser includes a cover (14) having a pressing opening (32) and a dispenser volume, a base (16) having an dispensing opening (36) and an engaging member (46), a blister tray (18) having at least a portion of the blister tray disposed within the dispenser volume and having a tab (56) extending from an edge of the blister tray for manually rotating the blister tray with respect to the cover and base while being retained within the dispenser volume, and a label (20) configured to be applied and adhered to the cover and the engaging member of the base to hold the dispenser together.
