A formulation dispensing device can include a cartridge receptacle to accommodate and/or secure a beverage ingredient cartridge and permit contents within the cartridge to flow into a bottle or beverage container. Additionally, a formulation dispensing device can include a drink through valve that can permit mixed contents from a beverage container to flow through the drink through valve and be consumed. For example, the formulation dispensing device can include ingredients that can be added to a range of different drinks, including sports drinks, dietary drinks, and as a critical life supporting drinks in humanitarian situations. The formulation dispensing device can also include a lid configured to pivot between open and closed positions and can seal the dispensing device which allows the beverage container to be inverted during consumption without leakage through the first aperture.

A lid lifting mechanism with sliding closure is disclosed, which comprises a lid body pivoted with a lifting cover and assembled with a sliding block. When the lid body is covered by the lifting cover, the lifting cover is positioned by pushing the sliding block forward; and when the sliding block is pushed backward, the lifting cover is opened for convenient to drink the beverage. Therefore, the components in the lid lifting mechanism with sliding closure is less, not only decreasing the cost, but also make the assembly of thereof quick. Furthermore, the lifting mechanism with sliding closure is disassembled and cleaned conveniently, and the dirty is not easy to accumulate in it, increasing the actually utility.

In its preferred embodiment, my invention provides a solution for a reusable product that provides the ability to conveniently, effectively and immediately cool a consumable liquid in a container regardless of where you are, without the delay involved by requiring to place any portion of the container into a refrigerator, to increase the time that a cooling agent's (ice) lowered temperature is preserved prior to exposure to the consumable liquid, to provide enhanced cooling impact through direct and maximum surface contact between the cooling agent and consumable liquid, to do so for any liquid the person desires to consume and that is not limited in its design/fit/configuration in order to accommodate a specific commercially available prepackaged container.

A biological sample collection system can include (i) a sample collection vessel having an opening for receiving a biological sample, (ii) a plug assembly that includes a post with a fluid vent therethrough, a collar disposed about the post, and a plug that initially obstructs the fluid vent, and (iii) a sealing cap coupled to the collar and comprising a reagent chamber for storing a sample preservation reagent. The sealing cap is configured to associate and form a fluid tight connection with the sample collection vessel such that associating the sealing cap with the sample collection vessel causes a physical rearrangement of the plug assembly such that the plug is detached from the post, thereby permitting sample preservation reagent to pass from the regent chamber to the sample collection vessel.

This container lid fits onto existing insulated cups. It has a refillable and sealable reservoir with a top opening to receive substances and a bottom opening to release substances into a container. The release of substances is controlled and measured before release. A double piston and button combination interact with a narrow section of the reservoir to dispense only a portion of the contents from the reservoir into the container. The released portion is carefully metered within the narrow channel when the double piston alternately seals a first opening and a second opening of the narrow channel. The reservoir serves to store the unreleased substance until the next time the button is activated to release addition substance into the container.

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 dispenser cartridge for use in a dispenser arrangement for introducing at least one dispensed substance into a liquid, includes an enveloping element with a continuous central space and with at least two openings for the entry and exit of the liquid respectively, wherein the dispensed substance is provided in the central space wherein first and second sealing means are provided which seal the openings completely in an initial configuration, wherein the sealing means can be brought into an operating configuration in which a flow path through the enveloping element is opened for the liquid.

A biological sample collection system includes (i) a sample collection vessel having an opening for receiving a biological sample, (ii) a selectively movable valve comprising a core and a collar disposed about the core, and (iii) a sealing cap coupled to the collar and including a reagent chamber for storing a measure of sample preservation reagent. The sealing cap is configured to associate and form a fluid tight connection with the sample collection vessel. Associating the sealing cap with the sample collection vessel causes a physical rearrangement of the core relative to the collar such that a fluid vent associated with the core is placed into fluid communication with the reagent chamber, thereby permitting sample preservation reagent to pass from the regent chamber to the sample collection vessel.
