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.

In an aspect, a cap liner comprises a sintered fluoropolymer layer; and a backing layer; wherein the sintered fluoropolymer layer is in direct physical contact with the backing layer with no intervening layer located there between. In another aspect, a method of forming the cap liner of comprises plasma etching the sintered fluoropolymer layer to form a sintered plasma etched layer; and laminating the sintered plasma etched layer and the backing layer to form the cap liner.

The present invention relates to a kit for ophthalmic solutions contained in screw-cap dropper bottles, which comprises a fastening element and an applicator device for solutions, where the fastening element includes a manual gripping section followed by a cup-shaped cavity suitable for housing the screw-cap of the dropper bottle under pressure; such fastening element has the ability to serve as an extension in order to cap or uncap the screw-cap of the dropper bottle with ease, in addition to keeping such cap coupled to the fastening element while the bottle is in use.

A fluid transfer hub has a first vessel closure, a second vessel closure, a gasket arranged between the first vessel closure and the second vessel closure, and a clamp at least partially surrounding the first vessel closure, the second vessel closure, and the gasket. The first vessel closure has a first body, one or more apertures extending axially through the first body, one or more first inserts extending axially through the one or more apertures, and a cast seal disposed within the first body and surrounding each first insert. The second vessel closure has a second body, one or more apertures extending axially through the second body, one or more second inserts extending axially through the one or more apertures, and a cast seal disposed within the second body and surrounding each second insert.

A hair color retouch kit, components of the kit, and methods of use and doing business. The kit can include one or more mixing containers. In one embodiment, a mixing container provides a colorant compartment for sealingly or separately containing a custom hair coloring formulation and peroxide compartment for sealingly or separately containing peroxide. The mixing container(s) can be used by a professional hair colorist to provide a hair coloring client with custom hair coloring formulation and peroxide that can be mixed and applied by or for the client to hair regrowth that occurs after a hair coloring session with the professional. The kit can provide other components as desired, such as a mixing spatula, an applicator brush, and instructions for example. The kit can be packaged in attractive and efficient packaging, include indicia identifying the source of the kit, and be customized to promote the colorist, salon, or other entity.

The present invention refers to an automatic opening device for a package, the device comprising an spout, a cap and a means for tearing the sealing element of a package, which can be either the aluminium layer of an aseptic carton package, or a sealing element located under the spout or the plastic material of a plastic pouch or the like.

The present disclosure provides a polyolefin composition made from or containing: A) from about 63 to about 78% by weight of a copolymer of butene-1 with ethylene having a copolymerized ethylene content of up to about 18% by mole and no melting peak detectable at the DSC at the second heating scan; B) from about 22 to about 37% by weight of (i) a propylene homopolymer, or (ii) a propylene copolymer, or (iii) a mixture of two or more of (i) and (ii), having a melting temperature T.sub.m, measured by DSC at the second heating scan, of from about 130° C. to about 165° C.;
wherein (i) the amounts of A) and B) are referred to the total weight of A)+B) and (ii) having a melting enthalpy ΔH.sub.fus, measured by DSC at the second heating scan, of from 7 to 30 J/g.

A secured storage apparatus includes a sleeve that receives a container/cap assembly therein. The sleeve includes a lock that selectively secures the container/cap assembly and the cap cannot be removed from the container when the assembly is locked in the sleeve. In one arrangement, the cap and sleeve include ribs that prevent rotation of the cap relative to the sleeve. In another arrangement, the container and cap of the assembly freely rotate together in assembled relation within the sleeve, but the cap cannot be rotated relative to the container and/or pushed axially relative to the container.

Container assemblies are described herein that include a metal closure and a container including a plastic finish. The container assemblies may be characterized by improved performance including reproducibility of force needed to remove the closure. Furthermore, the container assemblies described herein may be compatible for use with hot-fill packaging processes.

The utilitarian function of the engagement features on a lidded vessel is at least partially camouflaged so that the engagement features' utilitarian function is less apparent to the consumer after the lid is removed. The lidded vessel may be, for example, a lidded drinking glass—such as a lidded wine glass, beer glass, whiskey tumbler or soda glass—that is sold pre-filled and sealed with the wine, beer, whiskey or soda already inside. The camouflaging may be accomplished using one or more camouflaging techniques, some of them involving the presence of so-called non-engagement elements.
