There is disclosed a dispenser (10), such as a confectionery dispenser, for dispensing product objects such as pieces of confectionery (40). The dispenser (10) comprises a container (12) for storing product objects; and at least one dispensing arrangement (14, 16). The dispensing arrangement (14), (16) comprises an opening (18) provided in the container (12); a collection region (26) located within the container (12) and adjacent to the opening (18); a guide (32) disposed within the container (12) and adjacent to the collection region (26); and a dispensing tray (29) disposed within the container (12) and adjacent to the opening (18). The dispensing arrangement (14), (16) is configured the opening (18) and having a dispensing surface 30 accessible through such that in use in a loading orientation of the dispensing arrangement (14), (16) product objects collect in the collection region (26). During movement of the dispensing arrangement (14), (16) from the loading orientation to a dispensing orientation the guide member (32) guides product objects within the collection region (26) so as to dispense them onto the dispensing surface (30) of the dispensing tray (29).

The present invention relates to a passage device, a valve, a reception device including the same, a content movement device, and a content device. The present invention comprises a passage operation part included in a housing to move and guide contents, wherein the passage operation part comprises a content passage means for moving the contents. Unlike the prior art, the present invention can ensure a content passage space and adjust the passage space and a reception space to prevent reception of contents exceeding a required amount. Further, the present invention can stably induce the passage of a required amount of contents within a predetermined range, and prevent remaining of an excessive amount of contents in conjunction with the limiting of the content reception space, thereby adjusting the amount (number) of received contents.

A single-bead dispenser including a container for holding plural beads in a spherical chamber, a wiper disposed within and rotatable about a horizontal axis of the chamber to sweep the inner wall of the chamber and transport a single contained bead upwardly from the chamber to an opening for discharge to a manually accessible platform on the container while leaving all the other contained beads in the chamber, a geared ring mounted externally of the container and manually rotatable about a vertical axis of the chamber, and a gear secured to the wiper and engaged and driven by the geared ring for effecting sweeping rotation of the wiper when the ring is turned. The wiper may be a lune of a hollow sphere close to and concentric with the chamber inner wall and may bear a dispensing scoop shaped to capture and convey a single bead to the opening.

The medication container includes a receptacle that has an inner space for holding medications. The cap assembly is coupled with the receptacle for retaining the medications in the inner space. The cap assembly includes at least one passage that can be selectively opened and closed and includes at least one medication sensor that is configured to detect any medications travelling through the passage and out of the receptacle in a contactless manner. A microprocessor is in electrical communication with the at least one medication sensor and with a memory. The microprocessor is configured to record data to the memory in response to the at least one medication sensor detecting a medication travelling through the passage. A wireless module is in electrical communication with the microprocessor for uploading the data to an external device.

A container for dispensing a water-sensitive dentifrice. The container has two chambers and a divider with an opening to allow a few dentifrice unit-doses to pass through. A method for dispensing a water-sensitive dentifrice using a dual chambered container.

The present invention relates to a container assembly including a container body for accommodating contents and a cap device detachably installed on the container body, and the cap device includes a first coupling part detachably coupled to the container body and a pass-through device through which the contents accommodated in the container body pass. The cap device includes a holder on which the first coupling part is formed and a cap body including the pass-through device, the holder includes a cylindrical inner wall and a bottom part extending from a bottom of the cylindrical inner wall along an outer circumference thereof, and the first coupling part is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical inner wall and screw-coupled to the neck part.

The present invention relates to a content receiving device, an opening/closing mechanism, and a container mechanism comprising the same, the content receiving device comprising: a housing which opens to both sides applied to a container body; and an operating mechanism for controlling passage of content provided on the housing to move and guide contents, wherein the operating mechanism has an opening formed to communicate with a storage portion of the container body such that contents of the storage portion are moved. The present invention not only secures a content passage space, but also adjusts the passage space and a receiving space, thereby limiting reception of contents; passage of the demand amount of contents is stably induced within a predetermined range; and contents are prevented from remaining more than is needed, together with interlocked limitation of the content receiving space, such that the amount of received contents is adjusted.
