A container includes a bottom wall and a side wall. Multiple vertically-crushable units are formed in the side wall, each unit of the multiple units includes mountain fold lines formed by sides of parallelograms and valley fold lines formed by diagonal lines of the parallelograms, and the multiple units are stacked in tiers such that each pair of the parallelograms in upper and lower tiers have a common lower/upper side and the parallelograms in the upper and lower tiers alternately become line-symmetrical with respect to the common lower/upper side.

A device for dispensing a formulation of at least two compounds selected from a set of selectable compounds includes a plurality of containers storing the different selectable compounds, a pump associated with each container, a dispensing surface that includes at least two through openings configured to convey at least two selected compounds, a selector configured to connect the at least two through openings to the pumps for the selected compounds and to close the other pumps, and an actuator configured to activate all of the pumps and to only deliver the at least two selected compounds onto the dispensing surface.

A device for holding a liquid or pasty mass that can be dispensed from an insertable container by a dispensing device that is part of a first assembly that can be connected with a second assembly that is vertically below the first assembly in an axial direction and has a lower housing part that accommodates the insertable container. First connecting elements allocated to the first assembly are tethered with second connecting elements allocated to the second assembly. The connection that connects the first connecting element carrier with the second connecting element carrier is more easily undone than the positive or latched connection generated during a joining step, which was used to connect the first assembly with the second assembly with an axial force in the vertical direction. The connecting elements have latching teeth that run axially relative to the assembly direction in which the joining step takes place, and mesh into each other in the joining process.

A refillable pump dispenser comprising an outer container formed at an upper portion thereof with an entrance, an inner container inserted into the outer container for accommodating a cosmetic product in the inner container; a pushing plate inserted into an inner lower side of the inner container to push up the cosmetic product; and a dispenser head assembly removably coupled with upper sides of both the outer container and the inner container so that the outer container and the dispenser head assembly can be reused while the inner container can be replaced or refilled when the cosmetic product accommodated inside the inner container has been completely exhausted.

A reusable pump dispenser may simultaneously dispense and cool a product to a user. The product may be dispensed or dosed in predetermined and/or amounts desired by a user. The product may be cooled from an ambient temperature to a product application temperature. A cooling circuit subassembly may control the temperature, viscosity, and additional properties of the product, thereby providing a maximum benefit of the product when applied to the user. The reusable pump dispenser may eliminate microbes from the product and may provide a physical structure that may be held in a user's hand. The reusable pump dispenser may provide a reusable housing that may be easily replaced, refilled, and reused.

A multilayered container includes an inner container configured to contain content, and an outer container configured to accommodate the inner container. The inner container has a side surface formed with a plurality of folded pleats contractable and expandable in a vertical direction, so that the inner container is shrinkable inside the outer container. The inner container includes a metal layer or an inorganic layer. A discharge mechanism, configured to discharge the content, and including a mechanism configured to prevent air from entering the inner container when discharging the content, is attached to an upper surface of the inner container.

A system for dispensing a personal care fluid, such as a hand soap or the like. The system includes a dispenser and a refill cartridge. The dispenser includes a dispenser body having a refill cavity and a dispenser lid configured to be coupled to the dispenser body. There may be a pump sub-system mounted to the dispenser lid, or alternatively the personal care fluid may be dispensed by squeezing the dispenser and refill cartridge. The refill cartridge is configured for slidable insertion into and removal from the refill cavity of the dispenser body. The personal care fluid system is designed so that a user can readily and easily change out/replace the refill cartridge for use with a common dispenser, dispenser lid, and pump sub-system.

A refillable container that includes: an inner container; a support member configured to support the inner container; and a cover having a tubular shape, which is fitted, from above the inner container, to an outer periphery of the inner container supported on the support member so as to accommodate the inner container therein, and is fitted to the support member. The support member includes: a support base portion including a tubular leg portion and having a raised bottom; and a support frame portion, which is provided on an upper surface of a bottom plate of the support base portion, and is configured to support the bottom of the inner container. The support base portion includes a seat step portion on which an opening end of the cover fitted to the support member is seated. The cover is made of hard plastic, and the support member is made of soft plastic.

A nasal spray device can include housing having a sensor and a nozzle having a housing interface with a graphical image thereon. The sensor can be configured to sense movement of the graphical image when the nozzle moves relative to the housing, for instance during administration of medicine from the nasal spray device. The sensor can include an infrared proximity sensor that senses infrared reflectivity from the graphical image. The infrared proximity sensor can also be used to measure distance to a surface of a vial within the housing to thereby detect insertion of the vial into the housing.

The container includes a first container formed therein with a content storage space and a container coupling space that are separately defined, a second container coupled to the container coupling space of the first container, a first discharge device installed in the first container to discharge contents stored in the first container, a second discharge device installed in the second container to discharge contents stored in the second container, and a push button configured to simultaneously actuate the first and second discharge devices and formed with first and second discharge passages connected to the first and second discharge devices, respectively, and first and second discharge ports. The second container is inserted into an opened lower portion of the container coupling space so that the second container is coupled with the first container, and the second discharge device installed in the second container is connected to the second discharge passage.
