A collapsible container, particularly a cup or mug having a flexible body having a top tier, middle tier and a bottom tier is disclosed. The bottom tier has a base. The container has a first living hinge between the top and middle tiers and a second living hinge between the middle and bottom tiers. A rigid, preferably metal, plate is at least partially embedded in the bottom tier that makes the otherwise flexible base rigid. The container can have a rigid metal cladding around the top tier and a handle made of flexible material. The collapsible container may be made by injection molding.

A cap assembly is used in a container. A food product to be dispensed from the container is in an inner volume of the container, and the inner volume of the container is closed by a lid. An identifier is arranged on the cap assembly and/or on a surface of the container. The cap assembly includes two parts relatively moveable with respect to each other in a relative movement. The relative movement and/or a solidary movement of these two parts allows displacement of the identifier according to a certain path and allows opening and/or closing a communication between the cap assembly and the inner volume of the container.

A synthetic resin container including a mouth, a shoulder, a body and a bottom and forming a space for accommodating contents, in which the shoulder is provided with a pair of protruding ribs configured to be disposed opposite to each other on a front side and a rear side across a central axis line of the container and to be foldable when the shoulder is flattened; the pair of protruding ribs are each formed into a curved shape with central portions protruded toward the mouth side in a front view or a rear view; and both ends of one of the pair of protruding ribs are connected to both ends of another one of the pair of protruding rib, respectively, at intermediate positions of the shoulder.

A catheter connector assembly which may be included with a corporeal drainage system, and a method of draining fluid from a bodily cavity. The catheter connector assembly may include a catheter connector and a drainage line connector. The catheter connector may include a connector body with a coupling feature, a deformable sealing element, and a retaining member. The drainage line connector may include a drainage line body first and second hinge clips, and an actuator. The actuator is designed to deform the deformable sealing element when the drainage line connector is coupled to the catheter connector.

A fastening belt for a recyclable, plastic, beverage bottle including: a length of flexible material affixed around a circumference of the bottle and positioned on a lower part of a body of the bottle; in a first partially compacted the material is disposed in a crease of a fold between the first and the second segments of the bottle; and in a second, compacted state, the material is configured to be passed over the neck of the bottle, thereby securing the first and second segments of the bottle in the compacted state folded over the third segment.

A foldable container and a cleaning tool assembly are provided. The foldable container includes a foldable side wall disposed annularly. The foldable side wall includes two adjacent connecting parts connected through a flexible part. When the foldable container is unfolded, the connecting parts rotate around a fold part on the flexible part. A first abutting part and a second abutting part are respectively disposed on two sides of the fold part and are arranged on the flexible part or the connecting parts. When the foldable container is in an unfolded state, the first abutting part abuts against the second abutting part. The cleaning tool assembly includes a cleaning tool and the foldable container. When the foldable container is unfolded to be used, the first abutting part abuts against the second abutting part.

A container including a storage chamber within which is located at least one concentrated product housed; a mixing chamber coupled to the storage chamber; and a closure element, wherein the storage chamber is isolated from the mixing chamber; the mixing chamber is defined by a body having a longitudinal length defined between opposed ends and along at least a portion of the length of the mixing chamber, the body defines circular bellows, such that the mixing chamber has a collapsed configuration when the ends of the body are urged together and an expanded configuration when the ends of the body are urged apart, the bellows further including a latching arrangement which acts to latch the bellows in their collapsed configuration and/or their expanded configuration; and wherein a first end of the mixing chamber is open and is selectively closable via the closure element.

A container has a body portion, a collapsible portion, and an outlet aperture arranged on the collapsible portion, in which the collapsible portion is collapsible from a start configuration in which the outlet aperture is aligned with an axis, to a collapsed configuration in which the outlet aperture is rotated from the axis, in which the collapsible portion has a bracing section which is shaped and configured to support the collapsible portion against collapse when the outlet aperture is subjected to a first force applied in line with the axis, and in which the collapsible portion has a structurally weakened section which is shaped and configured to fail in a non-resilient manner when subjected to a second force applied from an offset angle to the axis.

Provided is a resin container for a water server, the container including an upper surface portion where a liquid inlet and outlet portion is formed, a side surface portion connected to the upper surface portion, and a bottom surface portion disposed on a side opposite to the upper surface portion and connected to the side surface portion. A round corner surface portion is formed to the side surface portion such that the container has a polygonal shape with round corners when the container is viewed from an upper surface portion side. A wall thickness of a shoulder portion of the upper surface portion which is defined between the round corner surface portion of the side surface portion and the inlet and outlet portion is larger than a wall thickness of a portion of the upper surface portion which is adjacent to the shoulder portion.
