A pill-dispensing package includes a container and a closure. The container is formed to include an interior product-storage region to store pills therein. The closure is coupled to a filler neck of the container.

A flow-limiting device for controlling the distribution of products, to be fitted into a neck of a container for such products comprises a flow-limiting part, and a sealing part wherein the flow-limiting part consists of an active material and comprises a dispensing opening. The sealing part is made of a polymer material different to the material of the flow-limiting part. The sealing part is adapted to form a moisture-tight seal with the neck of the container.

There is disclosed a dispenser (10), such as a confectionery dispenser, for dispensing product objects such as pieces of confectionery (40). The dispenser (10) comprises a container (12) for storing product objects; and at least one dispensing arrangement (14, 16). The dispensing arrangement (14), (16) comprises an opening (18) provided in the container (12); a collection region (26) located within the container (12) and adjacent to the opening (18); a guide (32) disposed within the container (12) and adjacent to the collection region (26); and a dispensing tray (29) disposed within the container (12) and adjacent to the opening (18). The dispensing arrangement (14), (16) is configured the opening (18) and having a dispensing surface 30 accessible through such that in use in a loading orientation of the dispensing arrangement (14), (16) product objects collect in the collection region (26). During movement of the dispensing arrangement (14), (16) from the loading orientation to a dispensing orientation the guide member (32) guides product objects within the collection region (26) so as to dispense them onto the dispensing surface (30) of the dispensing tray (29).

The invention is drawn to a container comprising a bottom wall and at least one sidewall connected to the bottom wall which form a container interior. The sidewall terminates in a rolled edge opposite the bottom wall and has an inner and an outer surface. A flexible bag having an open end is disposed within the interior of the container. A slide ring comprises a circumferential portion which is substantially vertical or vertical and a finger extending therefrom and is affixed to the open end of the bag and disposed adjacent the outer surface of the sidewall, below the rolled edge. The finger of the slide ring is angled inwardly toward the sidewall and frictionally engages the sidewall. Vertical adjustment of the slide ring vertically adjusts the bag within the interior of the container.

A dental material container includes a cylindrical body that stores a dental material including a pair of opposing primary surfaces, and a rotatable cap covering the body. The cap includes an internal space capable of housing the dental material. The body includes a pair of first holders that are formed on an inner surface of the body to movably hold the primary surfaces of the dental material; the cap includes a pair of second holders formed inside of the cap to movably hold the primary surfaces of the dental material. When the cap is rotated in the circumferential direction relative to the body, a continuous space where the dental material is movable is formed by the first and second holders, the dental material located closest to the opening in the body moves into the cap, and the dental material moved into the cap is housed in the cap.

A dental material container includes a container body shaped like a cylinder with a bottom and configured to store a dental material and a cap formed to cover an opening at one end of the container body. The cap is rotatable in a circumferential direction of the container body; an outlet through which the dental material is taken out is formed in a side surface of the cap; the container body includes a pair of first holders that are formed on an inner surface of the container body; the cap includes a pair of second holders formed inside of the cap; and the dental material container is configured such that when the cap is rotated in the circumferential direction relative to the container body, a continuous space where the dental material is movable is formed by the first holders and the second holders.

A flow-limiting device for controlling the distribution of products, to be fitted into a neck of a container for such products comprises a flow-limiting part, and a sealing part wherein the flow-limiting part consists of an active material and comprises a dispensing opening. The sealing part is made of a polymer material different to the material of the flow-limiting part. The sealing part is adapted to form a moisture-tight seal with the neck of the container.

A pill bottle insert that may be coupled with a pill bottle to increase the time and effort required to dispense each pill. The insert includes a cap portion, from which a cone extends downwards into the bottle. A hole passes through the cap portion, proximately to the narrowest diameter of the cone, while the widest diameter of the cone is substantially similar to the interior diameter of the bottle, such that pills moving towards the mouth of the bottle will be received by the cone, and directed towards the hole. The hole may be sized and shaped to provide a desired level of effort to dispense each pill, depending upon the size and shape of the pills. The cone may also include diverters projecting from the interior wall, that may be sized and shaped to further restrict dispensing.

A pill-dispensing package includes a container and a closure. The container is formed to include an interior product-storage region to store pills therein. The closure is coupled to a filler neck of the container.

The current disclosure is directed to a container with a dispensing schedule and, in various described implementations, to a container and a complementary cap that includes a dispensing schedule. During each dispensing cycle, which includes removing the cap from the container to allow access to the contents of the container and re-securing the cap to the container, the display schedule is automatically advanced to a next indication. In one implementation, the container is a bottle with a threaded neck and the cap is complementarily threaded and has a cylindrical rim and a schedule display. An indication on or within the schedule display is displayed through an aperture in the cap rim. Features included in the cap and the schedule display interoperate to ensure that the displayed indication is advanced to a next indication when the cap is unscrewed from, and subsequently threaded onto, the bottle.
