The current invention discloses a transit seal plug, the seal plug to be releasably secured to a dispensing cap. The sealing member includes first and second annular sealing faces, and further also includes a gripping member which extends away from a first side of the sealing member to engage walls of a conduit. A pull tab extends from the opposite side of the sealing member, to facilitate removal of the seal plug from a dispensing cap.

There is proposed a dispensing apparatus attachable to a container that includes a retractable spout. The dispensing apparatus can dispense a predetermined volume of liquid or aerate a liquid being dispensed, wherein the retractable spout includes a volumetric dispensing assembly for dispense the predetermined volume of liquid, and/or a turbulence forming element that is configured to aerate the liquid.

A closure includes a pivoting closure cap and a closure base configured to more easily align and securely pivot open without uncoupling. In various embodiments, the pivoting closure cap includes a pair of hinge assemblies including hinge pins pivotable between a closed position and an open position where the pivoting closure cap is opened for pouring. The closure base includes a pair of hinge pin receivers with a hinge pin sockets. The hinge pins located and rotatable within the sockets.

A child resistant closure and dispenser for a container is provided including a pivoting tilt-top type closure and an automatic locking element comprising a push button that locks the disk top in a closed position. The closure mechanism includes an actuator on the disk surface that can be depressed by the user to pivot the top to expose a dispensing orifice into the container for dispensing the substance. The closure mechanism also includes an opening through a body portion supporting the disk-top, through which a push button extends outwardly and abuts an edge of a wall of a body of the closure mechanism. In order to open the dispenser, the button must be depressed into the opening, to bring the button out of abutment with edge, while pressing down on the actuator.

A device is provided that assists with equalizing air pressure within a container with the atmospheric air pressure as liquid is being poured from the container and includes one or more relatively short air tubes. The device is provided with the ability to simultaneously equalize pressure in the container while also providing a drip collection mechanism. The device may be configured for unidirectional pouring or multi-directional pouring.

A cap assembly for drinking vessels including an upper unit and a lower unit. The lower unit including a plug member coupled to a base member, wherein the lower unit is configured to receive within a mouth of the drinking vessel. The plug member can expand against the wall of the mouth for sealably engaging the cap assembly to the mouth of the drinking vessel. The upper unit can be fastened to the lower unit, wherein the upper unit is configured to cause the plug member to expand and retract. The lower unit and the upper unit having a passage for liquid. The upper unit including a flip spout member that can be flipped between an up position and a down position. In the up-position, the passage is open for the water to flow out, while the passage is blocked in the down-position.

A closure for a container having an opening for dispensing fluids contained therein. The closure includes a cap and a pivotable top component moveable between a closed and two opened positions. A pair of dispensing openings are in fluid communication with the associated container. A second dispensing opening and its associated channel has a larger cross section, perpendicular to a flow direction, than a first dispensing opening and its associated channel.

A pivotable disc closure actuator (10), a closure including the actuator and the closure combined with a bottle or other container. The actuator includes a closing surface (12) comprising a product dispensing opening at a front thereof, at least two pivots (18) on the closing surface, an extension panel (22) extending from a peripheral wall of the closing surface and having a locking and an unlocking position, the pivots being intermediate the product opening and the extension panel, and the extension panel having a latch member (24) extending inwardly toward the closing surface when the extension panel is in the locked position. The closure includes a closure base (32) which may in turn include a cutout or opening (40) in its outer wall. In its locked position the extension panel may rest on a surface of the cut out or outer wall to prevent the actuator from rotating from its closed position to an open position.

A closure assembly for a dispenser container comprises a base defining a longitudinal recess and a body configured to be moveably coupled to the base. The base comprises a first seal positioned at a first end of the recess and a second seal positioned at an opposing second end of the recess. The body comprises a first body end and an opposing second body end. A shaft extends from the first body end to the second body end. The body is configured to move between an open position where the body is fluidly connected with the recess, and a closed position where the body engages the first seal and the second seal. The first seal and the second seal are configured to exert a force toward each other in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the body to tension the body.

A container lid can include: a body having an opening formed therethrough; a sipping member rotatably coupled to the body, a passageway formed through an interior of the sipping member so as to extend from a proximal end of the sipping member to a distal end of the sipping member, the sipping member configured to rotate between a stowed position in which the passageway and the opening are misaligned, such that the opening is sealed, and a released position in which the passageway and the opening are aligned; and a flexible handle connected at a first end to the sipping member and rotatably coupled at a second end to the body via a pivot pin. The handle can be configured such that a substantially downward force exerted on the handle causes rotation of the sipping member toward the released position.
