A container with a selectively openable cover to selectively allow access to one or more compartments is disclosed.

An apparatus for dispensing liquid from a container, and for monitoring the level of liquid within said container, comprises a container for storing liquid to be dispensed; and a conduit, the conduit comprising: a feed tube extending from the container to an appliance; a dip tube extending in the container to the bottom of the container; a liquid supply channel extending through the feed tube and dip tube and having an open first end defined by a lower end of the dip tube, which, in use, is arranged to be immersed in said liquid in said container, and a second end arranged, in use, to extend outside of said container; and a pressure measurement channel branching from the feed tube at a point located between said first and second ends of the liquid supply channel. The apparatus further comprises a pressure transducer in fluid communication with said pressure measurement channel, and a means to draw liquid from the first end of the liquid supply channel to dispense liquid from the second end of the liquid supply channel. The pressure measurement channel branches from the feed tube at a fixed height relative to the bottom of the dip tube.

The invention relates to a system for distributing and dispensing liquids, the system comprising a plurality of re-usable containers, each container comprising a removable closure arranged to engage with a neck of the container, the closure comprising a liquid flow passage extending through the closure; and a dip tube fluidly connected to or forming the liquid flow passage of the closure and extending into the container. The system further comprises a dispensing assembly comprising a dispensing pump, a dispensing tube fluidly connected to the dispensing pump, and a connector arranged to releasably engage with the closure so as to fluidly connect the dispensing tube to the liquid flow passage of the closure. The removable closure is a tamper-proof or tamper-evident closure, arranged to deter or prevent removal of the closure by an unauthorised person. A method for distributing and dispensing liquids using the inventive system is further provided. A further aspect relates to a hand-held displacement pump for use with the system and method of the present invention.

A container is described herein that is configured to be mounted between joists in a substrate of a structure, such as a floor, wall, or ceiling. The container includes a body portion sized to be disposed between the joists and a lid to cover an opening to the body. The lid can further be configured to be coplanar with a covering material of the substrate so that the container does not project outwardly from the substrate.

A dispensing closure for a squeeze-type container produces a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment. The dispensing closure includes a closure body having an upper deck and a skirt depending from the upper deck. The skirt is configured and arranged to attach to a product container, such as a squeeze-type container. A flow conduit extends from an interior of the closure body and through the upper deck to provide a flow path from an interior of the closure to an exterior of the closure. The flow conduit has an entrance orifice and an exit orifice. The flow conduit has an inner wall extending between the entrance orifice and the exit orifice. The flow conduit and the closure body are integrally formed. The flow conduit includes a tip portion with an exit orifice defining a shape to provide a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment.

A cap for a container comprises: a retaining ring suitable for being associated with a neck of the container, the retaining ring extending about an axis; a closure element for opening or closing an opening defined by the neck of the container; a hinge structure interposed between the closure element and the retaining ring so as to allow the closure element to be rotated relative to the retaining ring.

The retaining ring and the closure element are separated by a separation line, which extends externally of the hinge structure.

The hinge structure comprises at least one connection band which connects the closure element to the retaining ring, the connection band being defined inside a recess provided in a side wall of the cap, the side wall extending about said axis.

A package having a tray and a lockable lid is disclosed herein. The lid may be removed by applying a user input so that, for example, the package is child resistant. The lid is movable between a closed position and an open position. The package may include grinders to grind contents in the package.

A container cover comprises two halves that are integrally-molded. The two halves are connected by a common pivot point or hinge that is disposed to one side of each half which allows the halves to be folded over and onto one another. One half is a solid cover or lid structure (the lid) and one half is a ring-like base structure (the base), both of which are intended to be disposed atop a container, with the base in direct contact with the container although the lid and base could be modified the include other engaging structure. The lid is configured to fit with and engage the base via the common hinge or pivot point. Opposite the hinge point of each structure is part of a lock structure that provides the tamper-evident functionality when the lid is folded over and attached to the base.

Devices, systems, and methods for a medication monitoring system are described. An example medication monitoring system for a user includes a container subassembly comprising one or more compartments, each compartment being configured to store medical equipment or medications prescribed to the user, and a lid of the container subassembly pivotally mounted on a first edge of the container subassembly and comprising a magnet at a second edge opposite to the first edge, and an electronics subassembly comprising a magnetic sensor coupled to the magnet in the lid of the container subassembly, and a communication module configured to communicate with a patient record comprising one or more medication regimens for the user.

The invention relates to a device with at least one compartment and a closable lid arranged above the compartment, wherein the compartment has partition elements which form separate storage areas in the compartment which are open upwards in the direction of the lid. The device has a transport system with at least one cover plate which is designed as a slider and is mounted so as to be displaceable in a transport direction, the slider extending transversely to the transport direction over the entire width of the compartment and overall covering part of the storage regions of the compartment. It is essential that the slider is slidably mounted in a free space between the at least one compartment and the at least one lid in the transport direction, and at least two slider plates are arranged on the slider and overlap with the slider and are slidably mounted relative thereto in the transport direction of the slider. It is further essential that the transport system comprises at least one controllable drive and at least one controllable holding element, wherein the slide is displaceable in the transport direction by means of the drive and wherein at least one of the slide plates is fixable in a stationary manner by means of the holding element, whereby a relative movement between the slide and the slide plate can be effected.
