A decorative medication holder may reduce or eliminate medication non-adherence and work with standard and/or non-standard medication containers. The medication holder may include a body portion having an opening to a medication retaining cavity adapted for receiving a medication, such as a bottle of pills. The body portion also may be decorated with a kid-friendly aesthetic design, such as a character, animal, or the like to engage a child's interest. In some embodiments, the body portion may include a substantially flat outer surface. Alternatively, the body portion also may include three-dimensional limbs or the like which may be rigid or posable. In some embodiments, a cover may be provided to close the opening and/or secure the medication in the cavity. Alternatively, or additionally, the cavity may include textured lining or the like to grip the medication in the cavity. Other embodiments also are described.

The embodiments disclose a tray method and devices including a method including creating a half-cylindrical tray with anti-slide features on an interior surface and a flexible pull tab at one end of the half-cylindrical tray, forming a child proof bottle with child proof bottle security tabs wherein the tray can be inserted, forming a child proof cap with child proof cap security tabs corresponding to the child proof bottle security tabs for securing the child proof cap to the child proof bottle, and wherein storing gelatin edible wafers in the tray includes gelatin edible candies and gelatin wafer products with infused medicinal ingredients.

A method is provided for sterile packaging of a Kirschner wire (K-wire) and cap for shipping and storage, such that the K-wire and cap may be removed from the sterile packaging and used during a surgery. The method comprises sterile packaging the K-wire into a first container, sterile packaging the cap into a second container, and then bundling the first and second containers into a third container. In some embodiments, the first container may be comprised of a sterile interior environment within a double tube container, and the second container may be comprised of peel pouch configured to be unsealed during the surgery. In some embodiments, the K-wire and the cap may be placed together onto a mounting card that is then sterile packaged into a peel pouch that may be unsealed during the surgery.

Arrangements are provided for smart functionality with dumb containers, such as for determining medication adherence, tracking product use, and validating product authenticity. An acoustic emitter is engaged with a container or other vehicle. Opening the container causes the acoustic emitter to produce an acoustic emission, without requiring power, processing capacity, or sensors. A cell phone or other station receives and registers acoustic emissions, such as by logging opening of the container, verifying authenticity of the acoustic emission, communicating with an oversight system, or similar. Data as may be encoded in an acoustic emission may include vehicle detection data (e.g., logging a container being opened), vehicle information (e.g., lot number, contents name), vehicle validation (e.g., valid or counterfeit numerical code), and audible user recognition (e.g., brand jingles, warning sounds).

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a can having a pattern of radial displacement of material of a malleable can end with respect to a longitudinal axis of a malleable can body. In an illustrative example, the can end may sealingly couple to an open end of the longitudinally extending can body by a circumferential seam to form a sealed cavity. A can-opening dispenser may, for example, include at least one radially displaceable element (RDEL) configured such that, when operated into releasable engagement with the radially patterned seam, the dispenser resists rotation relative to the can about the longitudinal axis of the can. The RDEL may, for example, be radially deflected by operation of a collar in a first rotational direction (FRD). Continued operation of the collar in the FRD may, for example, operate an opening member to open the can. Various embodiments may advantageously provide self-opening dispensers for recyclable cans.

Disclosed is a consumer product packaging kit comprising a closure (1), an outer container (2) and an inner container (3) capable of releasably engaging with an inside of the outer container (2), wherein the outer container (2) comprises: an open mouth (21) at the top of the outer container (2), a shoulder (22), a body (23), an open base (24) at the bottom of the outer container (2), an annular extension (26) longitudinally offset from the open mouth (21), and an engagement structure (27); and wherein the inner container (3) for containing consumer product comprises: an open top end (31) releasably engaging with the annular extension (26) to secure the inner container (3) to the outer container (2) when the inner container (3) is in a fully engaged position, a side wall (32), a closed bottom end (33), and an engagement coupler (34) cooperating with the engagement structure (27) to secure the inner container (3) to the body (23) of outer container (2) when the inner container (3) is in a fully engaged position, wherein the engagement structure (27) is in the lower portion of the body (23) and the engagement coupler (34) is in the lower portion of the side wall (32).

A toy packaging and display device such as for use with a toy or a prize is provided. The device generally comprises a base unit, an internal display sleeve, and an external packaging, wherein the toy or prize is housed in a chamber or cavity formed between the internal display case and the base unit and wherein the internal display case is housed at least partially within the external packaging. The external layer of the toy packaging and display device will preferably resemble a can such as a soda can.

A sleeve kit comprising a container sleeve and a sleeve cap which may be engaged with the container sleeve to form a sleeve assembly that envelopes a slush container, the sleeve kit including an attachment system to allow the sleeve cap to be engaged with the container sleeve to form the sleeve assembly and then become disengaged so that the slush container may be removed from the container sleeve. The attachment system may be a single-use attachment system to allow the sleeve cap to be engaged with the container sleeve to form the sleeve assembly. The container sleeve may have a set of at least one vent which allows air to move from an open top end of the container sleeve to a space between a bottom of an inserted slush container and a bottom of the container sleeve to facilitate removal of the slush container from the container sleeve.

Stackable infusion filtration and storage systems are described herein. Components of the systems may include a first container, a second container, and a cooperating third container. The stackable systems may further include a sleeve component and one or more lids. The stackable systems can concurrently capture liquid as the liquid separates from an infused butter mixture and solidify butter in separate cooperating stackable containers. Methods of use are also described.
