Bottles and methods of making the same
A bottle configured to house and dispense items. The bottle comprises a body, a finish positioned above the body, and a ramp protruding into an interior space defined by the body. The body includes a base and a sidewall extending up from the base. The body defines the interior space for housing the items. The finish presents an opening for dispensing the items from the body. The ramp is formed with a concave shape configured to support one or more of the items.
GLASS CONTAINERS AND SEALING ASSEMBLIES FOR MAINTAINING SEAL INTEGRITY AT LOW STORAGE TEMPERATURES
A sealed pharmaceutical container includes a shoulder, a neck extending from the shoulder, and a flange extending from the neck. The flange includes an inclined sealing surface defining an opening in the sealed pharmaceutical container. The sealed pharmaceutical container also includes a sealing assembly including a stopper extending over the sealing surface of the flange and a cap securing the stopper to the flange. The stopper has a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) that is greater than or equal to −70° C. and less than or equal to −45° C. The sealing assembly maintains a helium leakage rate of the sealed pharmaceutical container of less than or equal to 1.4×10.sup.−6 cm.sup.3/s as the sealed pharmaceutical container is cooled to a temperature of less than or equal to −45° C.
Method of handling a plastic container having a moveable base
A plastic container comprises an upper portion including a finish defining an opening into the container, a lower portion including a base defining a standing surface, a sidewall extending between the upper portion and the lower portion, the sidewall defining a longitudinal axis, and at least one substantially transversely-oriented pressure panel located in the lower portion. The pressure panel is movable between an outwardly-inclined position and an inwardly-inclined position to compensate for a change of pressure inside the container. The standing surface defines a standing plane, and the entire pressure panel is located between the standing plane and the upper portion of the container when the pressure panel is in the outwardly-inclined position.
Diluting dispenser assembly
A diluting dispenser assembly, including: a housing; a water input conduit; a high-flow output conduit; a low-flow output conduit; a high-flow dispensing actuator; a low-flow dispensing actuator; a container interface, wherein the container interface is adapted to releasably engage a container disclosed herein, and wherein the container interface includes a chemical input nozzle; and a container release member.
Lightweight plastic container and preform
A plastic container is provided that includes a hollow body portion including a lower supporting base portion; a sidewall portion extending upwardly from the base portion; and a neck portion extending upwardly from the sidewall portion. The neck portion includes a support flange having an upper and lower surface, at least one thread, and a dispensing opening at the top of the neck portion. In embodiments, a closure may be provided to form an assembly. In embodiments, the container may be comprised of PET, the weight of the neck portion from the lower surface of the support flange to a top of the dispensing opening may be 3.0 grams or less, and/or the vertical distance from the top of the dispensing opening to the lower surface of the support flange may be 0.580 inches or less. A preform and method for making a container are also disclosed.
Cap assemblies with magnetic closure retention mechanisms and drink containers including the same
A cap assembly for a container, including a base defining a base plane, a drink spout separate from the base and extending away from the base, a closure configured to selectively transition between a closed configuration, in which the closure is engaged with the drink spout and obstructs a passage through the drink spout, and an open configuration, in which the closure is not engaged with the drink spout and does not obstruct the passage through the drink spout, and a closure retention mechanism configured to retain the closure in any one of a plurality of stowed positions against the base.
PRESSURE RELIEF BLOW-OUT PLUGS AND RELATED PACKAGES
A pressure relief blow-out plug includes a body including an inboard end and an outboard end, and an inboard flange extending radially outwardly from the inboard end of the body. A package includes a container including a wall having interior and exterior surfaces, and a pressure relief passage extending along a longitudinal passage axis and having a circumferential passage surface extending through the wall between the interior and exterior surfaces, wherein the pressure relief blow-out plug is carried in the pressure relief passage.
Delaminatable container
A delaminatable container excellent in productivity is provided. According to an exemplary aspect, a delaminatable container, includes a container body having an outer shell and an inner bag, the inner bag delaminating from the outer shell and being shrunk with a decrease in contents, wherein the container body includes a bottom seal protrusion protruding from a bottom surface of a storage portion to store the contents, and the bottom seal protrusion is a sealing portion of, in blow molding using a cylindrical laminated parison provided with an outer layer constituting the outer shell and an inner layer constituting the inner bag, the laminated parison and is bent.
Fuel additive bottles compatible with capless fuel systems
A bottle body comprises: a main body extending from a base to a shoulder; a neck extending from the shoulder to a mouth a thread along the neck; and one or more recesses along an exterior of the neck and extending along a longitudinal span of at least 30 mm.
Breakable locking cap for a container comprising a neck
The invention relates to a locking cap for a container comprising a neck, intended to block a stopper in the neck of the container and comprising: an external body having a breakable part, a cage that is configured to fit into and lock axially in the external body, and having a breakable zone, the cage further comprising: an upper ring, a plurality n of branches that are connected to the upper ring and define therewith a generally cylindrical shape, n/2 first bridges and n/2 second bridges, each interconnecting two adjacent branches, at least one opening tab, which is supported by a second bridge, which is inclined toward the outside of the cage and is oriented toward the upper ring, the opening tab being adjacent to the breakable zone, which is located on the second bridge.
