The service capsule (20) comprises:—an outer skirt (32),—a transverse wall (34) defining at least one outlet orifice (48). The service capsule (20) includes, for each orifice (48), a dispensing conduit (36) defining a dispensing passage (51). The service capsule (20) includes a closing cap (40), mounted moving between a clear position and a position applied on the transverse wall (34). A filter (38) is arranged upstream from and/or in the product dispensing conduit (36), and is configured so that the cosmetic product (12) in the container (18) necessarily passes through the filter (38) when the product (12) is extracted from the container (18) through the service capsule (20). The filter (38) is integral with the product dispensing conduit (36).

A screw-top closure cap having a collapsible spout nesting within a cap and with a portion of the spout seated coaxially within the container neck itself is disclosed. Both the spout and the cap incorporate child-resistant features to prevent unwanted removal of the closure and/or use of the spout.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for sealing openings on containers and other structures, permitting selective removal of portions of the seal structure, and for similar selective removal of portions of adhesive elements such as bandages.

A container lid may include a container top, a closure, and a push button. The closure may be coupled to the container top and movable between a closed closure position in which a lid opening of the container top is closed and an open closure position in which the lid opening is open. The push button may be movably coupled to the closure. The push button may include a latch configured to selectively engage the container top when the closure is in the closed closure position. The push button may be movable between a first push button position in which the latch is engageable with the container top and a second push button position in which the latch is disengaged from the container top. The closure defines a push button recess and the push button is disposed substantially within the push button recess and substantially enclosed by the closure.

A dispensing closure system includes an upper closure portion and a lower closure portion including an axial flow conduit and a vent conduit. The upper closure portion is axially movable relative to lower closure portion between shipping and dispensing positions. A seal is disposed on the lower closure portion over the flow and vent conduits. A peripheral spacing strip is removably secured to the upper closure portion and engages with either the lower closure or the outside of the container to prevent movement. A piercing probe includes piercing elements in alignment with the flow and vent conduits for piercing the seal. In the shipping position, the piercing elements are spaced from the seal. However, when the spacing strip is removed and the upper closure portion is axially moved to the dispensing position, the piercing elements pierce the seal to open the flow conduit and the vent conduit.

A hinge cap formed by an injection-molding comprises an inner lid capable of being attached to a container body, a hinge, and an outer lid that is connected to the inner lid by the hinge to open and close the cap. The inner lid includes a claw portion. The outer lid includes a tubular outer wall portion and a plurality of convex portions as undercut portions and a plurality of concave portions. One convex portion and a concave portion adjacent to the one convex portion form an engaging portion capable of being engaged with the claw portion. An adjacent convex portion adjacent to the engaging portion and a concave portion adjacent to the adjacent convex portion form a mold pressing portion.

A lid is provided having a lid body which is configured for removable engagement with a fluid container. A cap on the lid is pivotally positionable to seal an opening in the lid which communicates with a cavity in the container. A connector is also provided which is in a pivoting engagement with the first end of the cap. The connector is employable to engage the lid and the attached container to the person of the user.

A beverage product has a shot glass having an upper rim with an outside diameter, a quantity of a beverage in the shot glass, a substantially circular peel-off sealing element adhered by adhesive to the upper rim of the shot glass, retaining the beverage in the shot glass, and a shaker lid having a matrix of openings for dispensing salt, pepper or other material, the shaker lid assembled over the upper rim of the shot glass. A user purchasing the product removes the shaker lid, peels off the substantially circular peel-off sealing element, consumes the beverage, places salt, pepper or other material in the emptied shot glass and reattaches the shaker lid, rendering the combination as a salt or pepper shaker.

A container for feeding a patient includes a deformable receptacle having a cavity for holding a flowable food product and a rigid cover attachable to the upper end of the deformable receptacle. The rigid cover may have a male feeding tube connector that is uniquely connectable to a female feeding tube connector of a feeding tube or may have a female feeding tube connector that is uniquely connectable to a male feeding tube connector of a syringe. With the male and female feeding tube connectors connected, the deformable receptacle and the feeding tube or syringe are in fluid tight fluid communication to allow the flowable food product to be forced out of the opening of the deformable receptacle and into the feeding tube or syringe when the deformable receptacle is squeezed.

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.
