A storage container includes an elastomeric base having a plurality of side walls forming an interior and an opening at an upper edge of the base. The base has an annular channel positioned proximate the opening at the upper edge of the base. An inner insert is removably positionable in the opening of the base, the inner insert having an outward facing annular protrusion configured for insertion in the annular channel of the base, and a spout with a channel formed therethrough. At least a portion of the spout has external threading. An outer cap is positionable over the inner insert and has an opening for receiving the spout. A screw cap includes internal threading configured for rotational engagement with the external threading of the spout, wherein rotation of screw cap compresses at least a portion of the base between the inner insert and the outer cap.

A closure includes a hinged sealing element including a top wall and a first skirt. The first skirt has a sealing formation allowing engagement of a mating sealing formation of a bottle. A second skirt has an attachment formation engageable with a mating attachment formation of the bottle. A plurality of frangible members is attached to each of the skirts. A pair of hinge members is attached between the first and second skirts. A biasing member is attached to the first skirt between the hinge members and extending downwardly from the first skirt to interact with a neck portion of the bottle such that the sealing formation of the first skirt and the mating sealing formation of the bottle are biased toward each other.

Disclosed herein is a dispensing assembly for dispensing flowable material from a container. The dispensing assembly has a spout that communicates with the flowable material and defines a spout retention element. The assembly further has a cap configured to releasably attach to the spout. The cap has a first collar and a second collar, the first collar defining a cap retention element. The cap retention element is configured to contact the spout retention element such that the cap is affixed to the spout, and the engagement between the cap retention element and the spout retention element is reversible, such that the cap is removed from contacting the spout.

The Improved Salad Dressing Preparation and Storage Container is a food preparation device that allows for conveniently measuring, mixing, and dispensing of homemade vinaigrette salad dressing. The device uses two adjacent, adjoined compartments that are volumetrically proportioned to allow for the recommended ratio of oil and vinegar (acid) to be consistently achieved by filling them with oil and vinegar to the same apparent level. The Improved Salad Dressing Preparation and Storage Container may also be configured for commercial sale pre-filled with the oil and vinegar contents, those kept separated by sealing the adjoined compartments using an adapted seal. The pre-filled container may be designed and marketed for secondary use by consumers for use in making their own vinaigrette salad dressing recipes.

A flip-top tube (1), for example for cream, includes a tubular body (2) having a mouth (22), a cap (18) having a tab (70), and a label film (4) which at least partially wraps the tubular body and covers the tab (70) of the cap (18) to form a tamper-evident seal suitable for indicating the first opening of the tube.

A container (10) having a hollow body (24) providing a space (11) to receive a liquid to be dispensed. The container (10) may also dispense granular material, pellets or powder. A valve assembly (31) of the container (10) is adapted to dispense a predetermined volume of the liquid.

A one-piece closure includes first and second closure portions. The first closure portion includes a top wall portion and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The annular skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for mating engagement with an external thread formation of a container. The second closure portion includes a tamper-evident band. The tamper-evident band depends from and is partially detachably connected to the annular skirt portion by a first frangible connection. The closure includes polymeric material and wood filler.

A flip top cap for containers providing evidence of first opening includes a cover part and a pourer part coupled by a hinge arrangement and produced as a single piece. The cover part is rotatable around the hinge arrangement to be brought from a closed position engaging the pourer part to an open and separate position with respect to the pourer part, an engagement system engaging the cover part after rotation into a closed position on the pourer part. The engagement system is breakable and is arranged partly on the cover part and partly on the pourer part, and remains integral with at least one of the cover or pourer parts when they are broken at the first opening.

A container cap with a body having a lower portion with internal threads for connecting to a container, and an upper portion defining a main opening. The upper cap portion having a first surface defining a partial opening and a stem protruding through the main opening. The lower cap portion having a second surface defining a partial opening. The upper and lower cap portions configured to rotate with respect to one another such that the partial openings align between a closed position and an open position to selectively permit fluid flow therethrough. A method for capping a container.

A device for extracting residual amounts of fluid from containers, including containers for consumer products is disclosed. The device comprises a lid, further comprising a plug; a flexible hinge; and a threadless cap, further comprising an opening, a notch, and a tapered, flexible neck. Another embodiment of the device includes material wherein the lid is comprised of a material more rigid than the tapered, flexible neck. A further embodiment of the device includes material wherein the cap is comprised of material more rigid than the tapered, flexible neck.
