A child-resistant container including a container body, a lid, and at least one resilient tab is provided. The lid is pivotable about an axis through a hinge joining the lid to the container body to open and close the container. The resilient tab has a proximal portion fixed to the lid, a distal portion projecting from the lid, and at least one abutment on the distal portion. The abutment on the distal portion of the tab is normally biased into engagement with an abutment on the container body when the lid is in its closed position. The distal portion of the tab is displaceable against the bias to disengage the abutment of the tab from the abutment of the container. Displacement of the tab releases the lid so that it can be pivoted about the hinge to open the container.

A water bottle is disclosed. The water bottle has a reservoir that defines a space for holding a liquid, wherein the reservoir comprises an open top and a closed bottom. The water bottle also has a lid that is configured to engage with the reservoir over the open top. The water bottle also has a straw, and a pivotable mouthpiece that is attached to the lid and that comprises a fluid conduit that is fluidly connected to the straw.

A flip-top cap (83) for dispensing a flowable dental substance which is monolithically formed of a thermoplastic material. The flip-top cap has a base (4) from which a dropper nose (8) protrudes and a closure that is hingedly connected to the base for pivoting between a closed position, in which the closure closes the dropper nose, and an open position, in which the dropper nose is uncovered from the closure. The closure has an end wall (20) forming an outward planar end face (21) and, opposite thereof, an inner face (22) that has a sealing bulge (23). The end wall forms a first thickness (T1) between the vertex of the sealing bulge and the end face and a second thickness (T2) between a marginal area adjacent the sealing bulge and the end face. The ratio between the first and second thickness is between 1.4 and 1.6.

A material loading device includes a main body defining a receiving cavity and an opening. The receiving cavity receives materials. The main body defines a buckle groove at the opening. A buckle rod movably coupled to the main body at the opening buckles into the buckle groove. A foolproof mechanism is arranged on the main body. A thimble of the foolproof mechanism is slidably coupled to the main body. One end of the thimble is located in the buckle groove. When the buckle rod is buckled into the buckle groove, the buckle rod drives the thimble to slide relative to the main body. A display member of the foolproof mechanism is coupled to the thimble. The main body defines a plurality of recesses corresponding to the display member. The thimble drives the display member to slide relative to the recesses to switch the display member displayed through the recesses.

Apparatus and installation methods for sampling ports are disclosed. Sampling ports include a port housing and a lid assembly. The lid assembly is configured to sealably close against the port housing. Additionally, the lid assembly can be secured, such as with a lock, to the port housing. In one aspect, the port housing includes a sample mount arrangement configured to receive a sampling assembly. The sample mount arrangement defines a sampling channel and the port housing defines a sampling opening and a first securing mount. The lid assembly includes a latch arrangement and defines a second securing mount.

A child-resistant container including a container body, a lid, and at least one resilient tab is provided. The lid is pivotable about an axis through a hinge joining the lid to the container body to open and close the container. The resilient tab has a proximal portion fixed to the lid, a distal portion projecting from the lid, and at least one abutment on the distal portion. The abutment on the distal portion of the tab is normally biased into engagement with an abutment on the container body when the lid is in its closed position. The distal portion of the tab is displaceable against the bias to disengage the abutment of the tab from the abutment of the container. Displacement of the tab releases the lid so that it can be pivoted about the hinge to open the container.

A container for wipes, and a cap for the container, having a pop-up style dispensing means positioned beneath a reclosable lid. The container may be as upright cylindrical container for perforated wipes or a rigid tub for interfolded wipes. The dispensing means comprises flexible, rubber-like material having at least one opening through which wipes are removed from the container when the lid is open, and a hard plastic backing member underneath a portion of the rubber-like material adjacent the opening through which wipes are removed.

Aspects of the present invention are directed to a child-resistant container comprising a lid and a vial. The lid has a side wall, an inner surface and a lid cover. The lid cover includes a top, a bottom, and a front surface and at least two lid hooks protruding from the bottom surface. The vial contains an opening accessing a cavity and a rim extending around at least a portion of the opening, the rim having at least two moveable tabs partially affixed to the rim and movable about a pivot point. The movable tabs contain tab hooks above the pivot point for engaging with the lid hooks to secure the lid cover to the vial. The moveable tabs are displaceable outwardly away from the lid to disengage the tab hooks from the lid hooks by pressing inwardly on the moveable tabs below the pivot point.

A closure includes an annular base to be fixed to an upper rim of a container and a lid moveable relative to the annular base between a closed position and an open position. The annular base includes a peripheral skirt with an integral non-removable end portion adapted to be arranged over the upper rim of the container and a peripheral locking rim integrally formed on the end portion of the peripheral skirt. A proximal end of the peripheral locking rim is hingedly connected to the peripheral skirt, allowing the peripheral locking rim to be folded inwardly towards an inner surface of the end portion of the peripheral skirt and allowing the distal end to move beyond and engage under the peripheral ledge of the container to lock the annular base to the upper rim of the container. The locking rim includes a surface radially inwardly and circumferentially extending sealing rib.
