A container for fluids. The container having a hollow body with an octo-rectangular cross-sectional shape. The octo-rectangular cross-sectional shape being defined by the hollow body having an elongated rectangular cross-sectional shape with four side walls and four corners. each of the four corners being further defined by two rounded sub-corners and an intermediate wall. The container further includes a spout defining an opening into the container. a transition section located between and connecting the body to the spout. and a base closing one end of the body opposite of the spout.

A thermoplastic bottle is provided that has a sidewall having an exterior surface that defines a plane curve. The sidewall is joined with a base and a mouth to define an interior volume. Facets are integrally formed in the sidewall that each have a recess interior to the plane curve and a protrusion extending above the recess. The protrusion being either above or below the plane curve. The recess can surround the protrusion or be adjacent thereto. Facets can be arranged in a variety of patterns and vary in shape, size, or both relative to one another. A ratio is defined for a recess depth to an absolute value of a height of a protrusion of 0.2-5:1. The resulting bottle offers a better grip when fluid bottle contents have dripped on the exterior surface relative to a conventional bottle. By allowing the drippage to seep into recesses of the facets.

An intermediate bulk container system includes a molded bottle and a pallet for supporting the molded bottle. The pallet includes a first, second, third, and fourth vertical opening each extending through upper and lower sides of the pallet. The pallet further includes first, second, third, and fourth anti-teeter bars that is each respectively arranged in the first, second, third, and fourth vertical opening. The pallet also includes a pair of spaced apart elongated slots formed in the lower surface and extending between front and rear side surfaces, and each of the anti-teeter bars intersects one of the pair of spaced apart elongated slots.

A cuboidal container for storing a liquid cosmetic substance includes a neck with an opening on an upper face of the container. A dispensing device is secured to the opening. The dispensing device is a pump connected to a dispensing head and a rising line guided in the interior of the container. A cap for the container has a cap upper face with a flat surface and a cap lower face with a first receptacle adapted for placement of the cap on the dispensing device. The cap lower face as a second receptacle designed as a three-sided pyramid designed to receive one of four corner regions on a lower face of the cuboidal container so that the container is held in the second receiving area in a form fitting and rotationally fixed manner in an aesthetically pleasing position when the cap is removed and resting on a flat surface.

A dual container, including a container body and a mouth portion attachment. The container body includes an inner bag and an outer shell that is disposed to cover the inner bag, and the inner bag is configured to be extractable from the container body, and the mouth portion attachment is attached to a mouth portion of the inner bag and is configured to be removable from the mouth portion.

A polymeric container including a base, a body, a finish, finish threads, and a tamper lip. The finish threads are at an outer surface of the finish, and are configured to cooperate with closure threads of a closure to secure the closure to the finish. The tamper lip extends from the outer surface of the finish, and is configured to replace the support flange during handling, and to cooperate with a tamper band of the closure. A recess is below the tamper lip. The recess retains the tamper band below the tamper lip when the closure is removed from cooperation with the finish. A gripper ring is between the finish threads and the tamper lip. The gripper ring is configured to cooperate with a gripper for grasping the finish.

Containers and container systems for transporting and storing materials are described. The containers are configured to enable efficient placement within a larger vessel, while maintaining sealed separation between contents of each respective container.

An intermediate bulk container system includes a molded bottle and a pallet. The molded bottle includes a bottom wall and a top wall opposite the bottom wall. A plurality of support columns extend vertically from the bottom wall and define a column thickness. A plurality of sidewalls extending vertically between the bottom wall and the top wall and horizontally between the support columns. The sidewalls define a sidewall thickness that is less than the column thickness. The molded bottle further includes a band or belt that wraps around the molded bottle, and the band is formed of a plurality of ribs. Each of the plurality of ribs protrudes outward from one of the plurality of sidewalls and extends between a pair of the plurality of columns, wherein each of the plurality of ribs defines a rib thickness that is less than the column thickness.

A beverage mixing machine includes: a base; a tower extending upwardly from the base, the tower including a main portion and an overhanging portion; a dispensing outlet located in the overhanging portion; one or more sensors located near the dispensing outlet, the one or more sensors configured to detect the presence of a magnet; and a controller mounted in one of the base and the tower, the controller operatively connected with the sensors, the controller configured to prevent operation of the machine unless at least one of the one or more sensors detect the presence of a magnet.

A dual dispenser container is disclosed herein. The dual dispenser container includes a container, a pump dispenser at a top end of the container, and a second dispenser at a bottom end of the container. In some embodiments, the second dispenser is a flip-top dispenser. The dual dispensers on the container allow a user to utilize the pump dispenser until the contents in the container become too depleted to adequately use the pump dispenser, at which time the second dispenser can be used to dispense the remaining product from the bottom end of the container.
