Described is an automated reagent dispensing cap and methods of use in an automated clinical analyzer for introducing one or more reagent components housed in the reagent dispensing cap into a container enclosing another reagent component with which it is combined to achieve a reagent useful for diagnostic testing.

A closure device for a container opening includes a lid element for closing the container opening, a chamber associated with the lid element, and an inner housing, the chamber and the inner housing also having mutually corresponding closure means and opening means which are in interaction with each other such that a discharge opening associated with the chamber as opening means can be released by rotationally moving the closure means connected to the lid element relative to the inner housing such that a medium stored in the chamber can exit into the container. The closure means is a closure pin which is fixedly connected to the chamber and which comprises a vertical extension provided with respect to a rotational axis and that the closure means are formed in the vertical extension, with different areas: a flow-through area and a closure area.

The fluid applicators disclosed herein include an applicator cap and a squeezable bottle that can be releasably and fluidically coupled together. The applicator cap includes a tube, conduit, passageway, reservoir, chamber, cavity, lumen, and/or other features that direct fluid exiting the squeezable bottle through the applicator cap to exit the applicator cap via an opening, aperture, or hole that is disposed at a transverse angle, which can be perpendicular, relative to a longitudinal axis of the squeezable bottle. The fluid exiting via the opening, aperture, or hole is expelled onto and/or into an applicator surface or pad to be applied to the body of the user. The squeezable bottle can be used as a handle to effectively extend the reach of the user to enable the user to rub the applicator surface or pad, with expelled fluid, on the remote areas of a user's body.

A closure assembly for a container comprising a pressurised tank and a plug member, the pressurised tank has an interior volume and a cylindrical wall including an annular boss member at its open end. The plug member has an annular channel arranged at a first side of the plug member to sealingly engage with the boss member. The channel has at least one orifice extending from the floor or outer side wall of the channel to a nozzle at the second side of the plug member. The orifice is sealed from the interior volume of the tank when the channel is sealingly engaged with the boss member in a first position, but is in fluid communication with the interior volume of the tank when at least part of the channel is no longer engaged with the boss member in a second position.

A personal container for hydrating liquid. The container has a inner cup containing an adjuvant that is selectively introduced into the liquid in the container. The base contains electronic means to digitally measure the quantity of liquid in the container. The electronic means measures the time relative to the quantity of liquid to ensure a sufficient volume of liquid is consumed at a pre-specified rate.

A closure device for closing a container opening of a container, in particular a drinks bottle, has a lid element, a chamber arranged on the cover element and an inner housing. The chamber and the inner housing have closers and openers corresponding to one another, which interact with one another in such a way that a medium contained in the chamber can move into the container as a result of a movement of the lid element relative to the inner housing. In order to create an alternative closure device, which is particularly simple to produce and can be produced from as few individual components as possible, the closer is a closure pin which is securely connected to the chamber, and which can be removed from a closure opening of the inner housing forming the opener by a movement of the lid element relative to the inner housing.

A closure device for use with a beverage container comprises a spout cap member having a top wall with a spout aperture covered by a spout cover, a side wall for securing to a neck of the container, and a plug support structure. A fluid chamber containing an additive liquid and a pressurised propellant is movably held within the spout cap member. A plug member is fixed to the plug support structure and sealingly engages a bottom aperture of the fluid chamber. The spout cover includes a strut extending through the spout aperture to an abutment surface on the fluid chamber.

The present disclosure provides a feeding container device, including a bottle body having a bottle inner cavity, a first cover body at least partially disposed inside the bottle inner cavity and fixedly connected to the bottle body, a second cover body at least partially disposed inside the bottle inner cavity and having a cover inner cavity, a sealing ring disposed inside the bottle inner cavity and blocking the cover inner cavity, and a feeding device fixedly connected to the second cover body, the second cover body is mounted to the bottle body, the sealing ring is detachably connected to the second cover body and abuts the first cover body; when the second cover body moves away from the bottle body, the first cover body causes the sealing ring to separate from the second cover body, and the first sealed chamber communicates with the second sealed chamber.

Described is an automated reagent dispensing cap and methods of use in an automated clinical analyzer for introducing one or more reagent components housed in the reagent dispensing cap into a container enclosing another reagent component with which it is combined to achieve a reagent useful for diagnostic testing.

An improved container includes a body, a cap, and operating sets movably inserted into the body. The body has a first accommodation area for accommodating a main material. The cap has a bottom wall, a side wall extending from the bottom wall to enclose a second accommodation area, and a partitioning wall dividing the second accommodation area into accommodation rooms. Each operating set has a shank, two ends of which are respectively formed with a head protruding from the cap and a sealing plate engaging with the partitioning wall for sealing each accommodation room. Pressing any selected one head allows the selected sealing plate to separate from the partitioning wall so that at least selected one second material of the selected accommodation room enters the first accommodation area for mixing different materials in the body and increasing variability and selectivity of using the improved container.
