Convenience of an ink bottle and a bottle set is improved. An ink bottle includes: a container portion that contains ink; a guiding portion that is formed in one end portion of the container portion, and includes an outflow port from which the ink in the container portion flow out; and a cover that covers at least an end portion of the container portion on the opposite side of the guiding portion.

The present invention concerns a flexible package which is designed to contain a product, for instance a spice or a cosmetic product, wherein the flexible package is joined together to create a closed package. A dosage device is further arranged on an inner face of the closed package, said dosage device comprising an elastic dosage membrane, which elastic dosage membrane, over at least a part of its width and length, is provided with a number of incisions.

A spouted pouch has a spout (10) having an exterior surface provided with a first screw thread (21). The spout body is provided with a rotation preventing boss (25, 26). A closure device (40) secured on the neck and comprises: —a socket (50; 150) configured to the screwed onto the neck (12) of the spout (10), —a user openable or user removable cap (70; 170) supported on the socket in a manner so as to be openable or removable relative to the socket (50; 150). The socket has a bore (52) with a second screw thread (56) that cooperates with the first screw thread upon screwing the socket onto the neck. An upper section of the exterior surface of the socket body defines a discharge portion (53). At a lower end the socket body is provided with a permanent snap lock anti-back off structure (60) comprising a portion (61, 63; 161, 162) that is configured to flex over the rotation preventing boss (25, 26) upon screwing of the socket onto the neck and then snap behind said boss. This structure is configured to remain intact upon a user opening or removing the cap for the first time. The cap (70; 170), in a closed position thereof, covers the discharge portion (53) and in an opened or removed position clears the discharge portion (53).

A new bottle cap comprising a cap body and at least one air-return valve having a drinking port and an air-return port which is correspondingly disposed to the air-return valve are disposed on the cap body; an anti-leakage valve is disposed in the drinking port; the place where the air-return port is located extends inwardly to form a convex portion in the cap body; one end of the air-return valve is connected to the convex portion in a matching way, and the other end of the air-return valve is a closed port structure; one end of the air-return valve is designed to be a closed port structure, which can effectively prevent the air in the cap body from outflowing through the air-return valve.

A plug member integrally includes a base portion (35a) attached to a plug holder (31) to be mounted on a mouth portion of a container, a plug (34) engaged with an engagement portion (31c) provided in an outlet passage of the plug holder (31), and a resilient connection portion (35b) resiliently connecting the plug (34) to the base portion (35a). Before the first use, the outlet passage is closed with the plug member. In the first use, the container is squeezed to increase the internal pressure of the container. Thus, the plug (34) is disengaged from the engagement portion (31c) by the internal pressure. The outlet passage is thereafter constantly kept open.

A reusable food pouch having a removably insertable one-way valve is disclosed herein. The one-way valve may be used with the reusable food pouch if food product having a water-like consistency is being stored in the reusable food pouch to prevent spills if the reusable food pouch is inadvertently laid on its side. Conversely, the one-way valve may be removed from the reusable food pouch if the food product has a consistency more like thick oatmeal and/or applesauce to allow for free flow of the food product through a spout of the reusable food pouch.

A container for collecting, transporting, storing, delivering and dispensing fluid. The container has a hollow tube with an outer circumference diameter and is configured to receive a plunger. A collection adaptor and a dispensing adaptor provide interchangeable coupling of a variable volume container such as a syringe with a collection device such as a breast pump and a dispensing device such as a nipple. The container also has a circumferential seal assembly secured at one end of the hollow tube. The seal assembly outer diameter is substantially similar to the hollow tube outer diameter.

This invention relates to containers of the kind having an outlet through which product is to be dispensed, e.g. food product. There is provided a container for product to be dispensed. The container has an upper part intended to move or deform in order to reduce the volume within the container. The container has an outlet intended to open during movement or deformation of said upper part. The outlet comprises a plurality of movable parts. The outlet further comprises a plurality of fixed parts located between said movable parts. The movable and fixed parts are arranged for shaping product as it is dispensed from the container through the outlet. A method of dispensing and a vending machine for dispensing portions of ice cream or other frozen product from the container are also provided.

A liquid dispensing device for allowing a user to drink liquid therefrom in a hands-free manner. The liquid dispensing device includes a container having a spring-loaded stopper therein, and further including an elongated tube having a mouthpiece thereon that extends from an end of the container. In operation, a user can fill the container with a liquid causing the spring loaded stopper to retract so that it is under tension. When the user wishes to drink the liquid, the user can bite the bite valve of the mouthpiece which enables water to be released from the container and into a tube connected to the mouthpiece. The spring pushes the stopper towards the mouthpiece and thus the liquid within the container is pushed through the tube to the mouthpiece so the user may drink therefrom.
