A container (210) for holding granular or powdered material and formed by a top wall (212), a bottom wall (214), a front wall (216), a rear wall (218), a first side wall (220), and a second side wall (222). A rotatably removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop (32) and is pivotally hinged to a collar (300) that includes a sealing gasket (330). The collar (300) mounts to the walls of the container (210). A sealing wall 240 of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket 300 to prevent the contents from spilling. The container (210) incorporates powder control features, a container wall junction (50) preferred geometry and congruent scoop (32) enabling convenient access to the contents, a tolerance variation accommodating and strength improving, J-shaped collar (300) and interlocking indentations (290) and flex clips (310), and a pressure controlling portion (350) that prevents unwanted deformation due to pressure differentials.

A tamper resistant lid for a container is described. The lid exhibits a center axis (X) and includes an outer and an inner member. The outer and inner members are further adapted to be substantially prevented from displacement along the center axis (X) with respect to each other. At least a part of the inner member includes threads enabling a threaded connection to the container by means of rotating the outer member in a first direction. The lid further includes at least one stop member preventing the inner member from rotation with respect to the outer member. The at least one stop member is adapted to be controllably disabled with a designated force after said inner member has been connected to the container, so that the outer member can be freely rotated with respect to the inner member to thereby prevent removal of the lid from the container. The present invention enables the sealing of a container, while substantially preventing the container from being reopened.

Provided is a double-walled container (1), which includes an outer layer body (2) and an inner layer body (3). A single adhesive strip (4) is disposed between the outer layer body (2) and the inner layer body (3) in a manner such that the adhesive strip (4) extends along a center axis (C). The outer layer body (2) is provided with a single ambient air introduction hole (2d). The outer layer body (2) includes an inner surface, which is configured by a separation surface (2f) and a pseudo-adhesive surface (2g). The separation surface (2f) faces the ambient air introduction hole (2d) and is separated from an outer surface of the inner layer body (3), and the pseudo-adhesive surface (2g) faces the separation surface (2f) and is separably adhered to the outer surface of the inner layer body (3).

A one-time use bottle. The bottle is filled with a drinkable liquid and then a liner is sealed on top of the bottle. A lid contains lid assembly threads which cooperate with neck assembly threads located on the neck of the bottle which enable the lid to be screwed onto the bottle in a sealed position. The lid also contains lid opening threads which cooperate with neck opening threads located on the neck of the bottle which enable the lid to be screwed into the neck further thereby cutting into the liner and exposing the drinkable liquid. The drinkable liquid can now be drank via a spout in the lid. The lid cannot be removed from the neck and hence once used, the apparatus would have no further use and would be disposed of.

Various enhancements of tabbed seals are provided herein with enhanced grasping functionality. Such enhancements include an anti-slip coating, a polymer adhesive layer, embossing, increasing the thickness of the tab, and/or increasing the overall surface area of the tab.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a closure, the closure having an upper portion with a handle that has a circular curvature equal to the cylindrical portion of the closure. The closure may also have a lower portion that is joined to the upper portion by an injection molded polymer element. The closure may also be in the form of “flip” type of closure such that the lid can be selectably opened or closed by the user by rotating a flip closure into either the opened or closed position. The closure may also be a two-part lid having a lower cap that may be configured to be removably-coupled to the container and an upper cap that may be configured to be removably-coupled to the lower cap.

A membrane for use with a container is provided herein. The membrane comprises a first layer comprising a peripheral area defined by a first perimeter of the first layer, and a first line of weakness formed inward of the first perimeter. The first line of weakness defines a flap. The membrane further comprises a second layer comprising a peripheral zone defined by a second perimeter of the second layer and a second line of weakness formed inward of the second perimeter. The second line of weakness defines a central portion. The membrane further comprises a first seal area comprising at least a portion of the peripheral zone of the second layer being adhered to at least a portion of the peripheral area of the first seal area.

A vial blinding assembly includes a vial having a bottle with a constricted neck and an annular shoulder that inwardly extends; a stopper disposed on an opening of the bottle and having a septum with a top surface; and a retainer securing the stopper to the bottle. A tubular blinding shell encircles a compartment that extends between a first end with an inlet opening and an opposing second end with an access opening. A floor plug is secured to the first end of the blinding shell. The vial is disposed within compartment of the blinding shell with the vial being supported by the floor plug and the neck passing through the access opening so that the top surface of the septum is disposed outside of the compartment of the blinding shell, the shoulder of the vial having an outside diameter larger than a diameter of the access opening.

At least one closed container includes a glass container having a total height, being characterized by a center axis and including a shoulder region; and a press-fit cap closing the glass container and including a cylindrical body having an upper end and a lower end. P is any given point at the lower end of the press-fit cap that is located above the shoulder region and that lies on a straight line running parallel to the center axis and hitting an outer surface of the shoulder region at a point Q. Among these points P at the lower end of the press-fit cap point P′ is the one that has a smallest distance to its corresponding point Q′ and a distance between points P′ and Q′ on the straight line is in a range from 0.17 to 8.4 mm.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to dispensers. In some embodiments, a dispenser comprises a main body assembly including an outer wall and an inner wall, the inner wall defining an aperture through the main body, a seal, wherein the seal is affixed to the main body and encloses a lower portion of the aperture, a button seated within the aperture and configured to be manipulable between a first position and a second position, and a container housed within the button and configured to store a material, wherein when the button is in the second position the container contacts the seal to allow the material to exit the dispenser.
