A container closure assembly for vacuum sealing of bottles and containers includes a cylinder that is resilient. A bore is axially positioned through the cylinder. The bore is tapered so that it is circumferentially larger proximate to a bottom of the cylinder. The bore is configured to insert a mouth of a container. The cylinder is configured to abut a lip of the container to sealably couple to the lip of the container. A regulator is selectively couplable to a top of the cylinder. The regulator is configured to selectively sealably close the bore and to selectively motivate air through the bore. The regulator is configured to extract the air through the bore to partially evacuate the container to couple the cylinder to the container. The regulator also is configured to inject the air through the bore to pressurize the container to decouple the cylinder from the container.

A cap, a method of using a cap, and a system for using the cap. The cap is capable of being fitted to a bottle. The cap includes a transfer port; and a vent port. The vent port includes a membrane and a valve.

The receptacle including stacking lugs to help reduce vacuum and friction when de-nesting the receptacles. The receptacle including a lid that helps when storing certain types of goods and/or serves as a seat. A septum or receptacle molded into the lid to allow for injection of inert gases or flushing headspace.

A dispensing closure for dispensing liquid, comprising an outer nozzle component (6) defining a nozzle opening (66) and a valve assembly (7) disposed in the closure upstream of the nozzle opening, the valve assembly comprising an outer valve element (3) and a generally rigid intermediate valve seat element (4) disposed inwardly of the outer valve element, the outer valve element comprising an outer valve flap (38) and the intermediate valve element (4) defining an outflow opening (451) bordered by an outer seat region (411,471), the outer valve flap (38) being movable between a closed position, in which it overlaps the outer seat region of the intermediate valve element to close the outflow opening (451) against inflow therethrough, and an open position, in which it is deflected away from the outer seat region (411,471) to open the outflow opening for outflow.

A telescopic container comprises an upper part of the container, a lower part of the container and a top cover, the upper part of the container is sleeved on a periphery of the lower part of the container, and the lower part of the container can move in the upper part of the container; and the top cover is detachably connected to a top end of the upper part of the container and is provided with an air valve. A telescoping property between the lower part of the container and the upper part of the container is used in the invention, a user downwardly presses the upper part of the container, or upwardly presses the lower part of the container, or performs the two actions at the same time, so as to achieve an object of changing a capacity of the container.

The invention provides a container (10) for the packaging of a fluent product (P) which off-gases, the container comprising: a container body (11) for receiving and storing product and a removable lid (12) for closing the container body; in which the lid is provided with a venting assembly (20, 23a, 23b, 24) extending into the container body; in which the venting assembly has a closed position which is effective to close the container body and a venting position permitting the venting of gas from the container body; whereby, when the container body is partially filled with a fluent product which off-gases, the venting assembly moves to the venting position in response to excessive pressure from accumulated gas, and reverts to the closed position upon release of the excessive pressure, thus effecting periodic venting of the container body; and whereby the spatial arrangement of the venting assembly within the container body provides for venting of the container body independently of the orientation of the container, while retaining the product within the container body. The container is especially suitable for the packaging of viscous or semisolid products which incorporate an oxidizing agent, such as creams or gels for the bleaching or coloring of hair.

Disclosed herein is a IOT device for automating ventilation of barrels and other containers and for facilitating ventilating of a barrel or container, in accordance with some embodiments. Further, the barrel or container lid comprises ports, pumps, a duct, and valves. Further, an inlet pump of the pumps is configured for drawing external air into an interior space of the barrel or container from an exterior space of the barrel or container through an inlet port of the ports and an outlet pump of the pumps is configured for expelling internal air from the interior space into the exterior space through an outlet port of the ports. Further, the duct is coupled with the inlet port. Further, openings of the duct are configured for creating airflows in the interior space for ventilating the interior space based on the drawing and the expelling. Further, the valves are configured for transitioning between an open state and a closed state for openably closing the ports.

Apparatuses and methods of operating the same are described. An apparatus may include a lower compartment, a baffle, and an upper compartment. The lower compartment may form a lower cavity to hold a liquid. The baffle may include a channel connecting the lower compartment to an upper compartment, where the channel provides a first passageway for liquid to pass between the lower compartment and the upper compartment. The baffle may also include a baffle passage defining an opening through a middle section of the liquid container between the lower compartment and the upper compartment. The upper compartment may form an upper cavity to hold the liquid.

The present disclosure is directed to devices for dispensing liquid, especially fuel. In one embodiment, a device for dispensing fuel includes a spout for pouring liquid fuel, an annular fitting including a chamber formed therein. A sealing surface, a stopper, and spring may be disposed within the chamber. The annular fitting may be attached to the spout. The annular fitting may be configured to mate with a portable fuel canister. The fitting may include sidewalls forming a channel for liquid fuel, an outer wall enveloping a portion of the sidewall forming a chamber proximate the liquid channel, and an atmospheric orifice formed in the outer wall. The sealing surface may be disposed proximal the orifice. The spring may be configured to bias the stopper into contact with the sealing surface such that the chamber is in selective pressure-dependent fluid communication with an atmosphere outside the device.

Liquid container nozzles including a valve handle, valve body, spool, and spout assembly, where the valve body may move slidingly into the valve handle over the spool to control the flow of liquid through the nozzle. Liquid flow may be controlled by adjusting the position of the valve body in relation to the valve handle and spool using varying force or pressure. The spool may include one or more holes to control the flow of liquid. In some examples of the invention, the spool may narrow in an S-shaped fashion, and the holes of the spool may be located on a portion of the spool that narrows to form S-shaped holes. These holes may swirl liquid as it is poured from the nozzle to create a more uniform flow.
