An aspect of the invention provides a container closure for a container comprising a body portion having a first end configured for attachment to a container and a second end configured to allow content of the container to exit the container closure, a reservoir positioned within the body portion between the first and second ends thereof and an actuable seal that is moveable between a first configuration in which the reservoir is sealed and a second configuration in which the actuable seal is moved in the direction of the second end of the body portion to create a gap between the actuable seal and second end of the body portion, wherein the actuable seal is moveable between the first configuration and second configuration by a plunger extending from the first end of the body portion to the second end of the body portion and wherein the actuable seal engages a surface of the reservoir when in the first configuration.

The container is suitable for the separate packaging and storage of at least two contents, which need to be combined in the preparation of a ready-to-use product. Two container bodies each provided with a coupler are assembled by using a separate interface device as intermediate connector. A mixing mechanism is formed when inserting the couplers through opposite annular rings of the connector of the interface device. The interface device includes two openers having a different or opposite orientation, typically arranged inside a same puncturing structure of generally cylindrical shape, for releasing an internal passage initially sealed between two closure members. The closure members respectively close an access opening of the container bodies, hermetically. Relative movement of the closure members toward the openers allows communication between a first compartment and a second compartment.

Biodegradable bottle cap is a water bottle cap containing the plastic eating fungus pestalotiopsismicrosporia. When the consumer is done drinking from the bottle, the cap has a tab that is pulled and this tab releases the fungus. The fungus consumes the plastic bottle and the cap so no trace is left behind. The cap is made of plastic and the fungus is contained in an aluminum casing. Also contain in the casing is the safe food dye which will be coloring the water in case of accidental release or opening of the casing before the use of the drinking water. Such water coloring will be an indication to avoid using the water for drinking though the fungus is safe after human galloping.

A closure capsule for closing a container, comprising: —a cap (2) that can be associated with a container and comprising a frangible mouth (20); —a cutter (3) comprising a cutting edge (30) designed to open said frangible mouth (20) which assumes a first configuration in which it is intact and a second configuration in which it is open; —a covering (4) of the cap (2) and the cutter (3); in the first configuration at least the cap (2) and the cutter (3) define a tank (8) for containing a product destined to be dropped into the container in said second configuration; —transmission means (5) for transmitting a rotary component from the covering (4) to the cutter (3); —moisture absorbing means (10) which surmount at least one portion of said cutter (3).

A closure of a container comprising a capsule (10) in turn comprising: —a cap (2) that can be associated with a container and comprising a frangible mouth (20); —a cutter (3) comprising a cutting edge (30) designed to open said frangible mouth (20); —a covering (4) of the cutter (3); —transmission means (50) for transmitting a rotary component of a movement of the covering (4) to the cutter (3); —guide means (900) which enable a rotation-translation of the covering (4) which draws said cutter (3), determining the passage of the covering (4) and the cutter (3) from a resting configuration in which the frangible mouth (20) is intact to an operating configuration in which the cutter (3) is in a stroke-end position, the frangible mouth (20) is at least partially open and the covering (4) is rotatingly integral with the cap (2). The closure (1) further comprises: i) a capsule cover (11) which surmounts the covering (4); the covering (4) and the capsule cover (11) in a first configuration being axially neared to one another along an axial direction (40), in a second configuration being moved away from one another along the axial direction (40); the axial direction (40) being identified by an axis (300) along which the movement of the cutter (3) from the resting configuration to the operating configuration takes place; ii) disengageable means (6) for transmitting an unscrewing torque from the capsule cover (11) to the covering (4), said disengageable means (6) for the unscrewing of the capsule (10) being mutually engaged in the first configuration and mutually disengaged in the second configuration.

Device (10) for packaging two products (A, B) separately and dispensing a resulting mixture (M) on a first use, comprising a lower container (12) delimiting a first product cavity (22) containing a first product (A) and an upper container (14) delimiting a second product cavity (24c) containing a second product (B), and being capable of rotating relative to the lower container (12) without moving axially, and a temporary closing member (30) configured to close an opened end (24b) of the upper container (14) before the first use, and comprising a cylindrical skirt (32) surrounding said opened end (24b) and a plug (34) connected to said cylindrical skirt (32), said cylindrical skirt (32) being designed to cooperate by thread engagement with the upper container (14) and being prevented from rotating relative to the lower container (12). The closing member (30) is deprived from any axially retaining members with both containers (12, 14), such that when the upper container (14) is rotated in a first rotation direction (F1), the closing member translates downwardly until falling into the first product cavity (22).

A unique pizza box apparatus and methods of forming and using said pizza box are disclosed. The pizza box is formed with an additional plate pocket for receiving plates therein. The pocket is connected to an inside surface of the pizza box lid and expands a distance less than that of the depth of the pizza box. On the pizza box lid is a cut or perforated plate pocket lid with a living hinge on one end and a lid tab on a substantially opposite end for grabbing and rotatably opening the plate pocket lid with respect to the pizza box lid. A pizza bumper may further be included within the box to ensure separation between a base of the plate pocket and a pizza once the pizza is placed within the box. Napkins and/or further utensils may also be placed within the plate pocket if so desired.

A vessel includes an inner container, an outer container, a connector, a cap, and a lid. The outer container includes a first coupler and an outer chamber. The inner container includes a second coupler and an inner chamber to hold a liquid. The inner container is receivable at least partially within the outer chamber. The connector includes a third coupler that is complementary to the first coupler, and a fourth coupler that is complementary to the second coupler. When both the first coupler is engaged with the third coupler and the second coupler is engaged with the fourth coupler, the outer chamber is entirely enclosed within a liquid-proof barrier.

An adjustable additive cartridge that provides adjustable metering of additive to a base fluid as the base fluid is flowing through the cartridge. A spout is mounted for limited rotation within a base element of the cartridge. Rotation of the spout results in varying degrees of flow of additive into a base fluid flow path through the cartridge. The cartridge may be used with a portable beverage container, such as a sports bottle or off-the-shelf water bottle. The supply of base fluid in a container used with the cartridge may be kept in an unmixed, pure state, and other cartridges, each having different additives (i.e., flavors) may be used interchangeably with the same base fluid supply. The cartridge allows a consumer/user to experience different additives, such as different flavors or supplement compositions, for a given supply of base liquid in a single container. A check valve on the cartridge prevents backflow of the base fluid. An integrated filter for filtering base fluid flowing into the cartridge may be provided. The additive cartridge may be sealed to provide for extended storage and to provide a user/consumer with evidence of integrity, quality and/or tampering prior to purchase and/or use. Visual and tactile indicators of the amount of additive being added to a base fluid may be provided. A container may retain a spare additive adjustable cartridge on the container.
