A metering device includes a storage tank, a funnel, a feeder, at least one measuring container, a first driver, and a second driver. Liquid and string-shaped foods are sent from the storage tank to the funnel by the feeder. The measuring container is provided under the funnel in a measuring position, and volumetrically meters the string-shaped foods sent from the funnel while ejecting the liquid. The first driver moves the funnel or the measuring container to insert the funnel into the measuring container at a time of metering, and moves the funnel or the measuring container to separate the funnel from the measuring container after metering is completed. The second driver moves the measuring container from the measuring position to an ejecting position.

Doser for a container containing a substance. The doser includes a dosing member configured to be located at least partially inside a dispensing end of a container. The dosing member includes at least a bottom wall, a retaining wall and a retaining space of predetermined volume configured to retain a dispensable amount of said substance. When the doser is arranged on a container and the container dispenses the dispensable amount of the substance, the dosing member substantially prevents the substance contained in the container from either passing into the retaining space or being dispensed with the dispensable amount.

A case for securing an aerosol canister, including a body, including, a lateral wall having a top edge and a bottom edge, and a bottom wall connected to the lateral wall proximate the bottom edge, and an attachment means engageable with the bottom wall.

A container assembly includes a jar and a lid assembly. The jar includes a body portion defining an interior space for holding items and an upper neck portion disposed about a jar opening leading to the interior space. The lid assembly is connected to the upper neck portion of the jar and includes an inner lid component and an outer lid component. The outer lid component is rotatable relative to the inner lid component while the inner lid component remains stationary relative to the upper neck portion of the jar.

A gravity-feed bin includes a generally hollow main bin having an open end, a storage reservoir and a dispensing chute. The dispensing chute has an opening disposed near a distal end. The bin includes a dispensing gate movable between open and closed positions. When the dispensing gate is in the closed position, the dispensing gate blocks the opening of the dispensing chute. The main bin includes a vertical front wall joined to planar first front surface that is disposed below the vertical front wall, at an angle relative to the vertical front wall so as to direct bulk material inwardly towards the interior of the storage reservoir. A second planar front surface is joined to the first front surface, and disposed at an angle relative to the first front surface, so as to direct the bulk material towards the dispensing chute.

A liquid container lid assembly enables a user to more effectively control liquid egression from a liquid container as outfitted with the lid assembly. The lid assembly includes a lower lid construction and an upper lid construction. The lower lid construction includes an upper-receiving depression having at least one liquid-letting aperture. The lower lid construction is removably attachable to an upper container rim of a liquid container and the upper-receiving depression includes concave upper portion surfacing. The upper lid construction is nestable in superior adjacency to the upper-receiving depression and includes a lower-opposing portion and a primary liquid outlet. The lower-opposing portion includes convex lower portion surfacing, which convex lower portion surfacing mimics the concave upper portion surfacing for eliminating gaps therebetween. The primary liquid outlet is orientable in superior adjacency to the lower lid construction for selectively outletting liquid received in an assembly-outfitted liquid container.

A mixing container is disclosed having a moving grip positioned outside of its lid such that the grip is rotatable to allow contents inside the container to pour out or to prevent the pouring of contents.

A container and lid assembly are provided. The lid assembly includes an upper lid and a lower lid that cooperate to define a dispensation chamber for product that is provided in the container.

A cap assembly connected to a container for dispensing the contents of the container includes an inner cap and an outer cap. The inner cap includes a cylindrical inner cap surface between a proximal end and a distal end that includes an inner cap opening. The outer cap is positioned over and secured to the inner cap. The outer cap includes a cylindrical outer cap surface between the proximal end and distal end, and the cylindrical outer cap surface includes an outer cap opening. The cap assembly includes an open configuration and a closed configuration. The outer cap can be rotated about the inner cap between the open configuration and the closed configuration.

A dual function dosing cap has an inner cap and an outer cap rotatable on the inner cap, first and second liquid dispensers on the inner cap, first and second access holes on the outer cap, the access holes being in overlying alignment with respective ones of the liquid dispensers in an open position of the outer cap, and wherein rotation of the outer cap to a closed position moves the access holes out of overlying alignment; first and second lids hinged to the outer cap for individual lifting open and closing for covering the first and second access holes respectively in a closed condition of the lids. Duct segments on each cap telescope to form ducts bridging the intra-cap space. Plugs and caps on the outer cap act as stoppers closing the liquid dispensers in both the open and closed positions of the dosing cap.
