An apparatus for collecting and storing fluid samples from vehicles and machinery comprises a storage container having a fluid inlet sealed by a cap, the cap having an aperture releasably sealed by a lid. An adapter connects the cap releasably to a fluid outlet coupling port of a fluid sampling device. The adapter comprises a lumen, having an inlet and an outlet aperture, an external screw thread engageable with an internal screw thread of the coupling port and a connector assembly for connecting the adapter releasably to the cap. A penetrable diaphragm provides an airtight seal over a storage region of the storage container. When the adapter is connected to the coupling port and the cap is connected to the adapter, a fluid outlet tube extending from the coupling port extends through the aperture and protrudes through one or more perforations provided in the penetrable diaphragm into the storage region.

The invention provides for a dispenser package comprising a generally cylindrical container body and a cap removably mounted to the container body. The cap comprises a generally cylindrical cap body securable to an upper end of the container body. The cap body comprises a generally circular projecting portion having an outer circumferential surface and an upper surface that includes plural dispensing openings. A generally circular flip-up lid is connected to the cap body by a living hinge and being movable between a covering position and an open position.

A cap for a container with a hinged lid includes a first part and a second part that are snap-associated. The first part has a lower cylindrical portion and an upper cylindrical portion, and the second part includes a covering lid having an annular portion and a lid portion and a hinge arrangement therebetween, which includes a strip arranged in a window opening formed in the side surface of the lid portion and open towards the annular portion. The strip has weakened foldable end areas connected to the annular and lid portions, and a folding invitation line that divides the strip into two portions with a central recess therebetween. Folding invitation lines are also provided between the two portions of the strip and an end edge of the opening in the lid portion.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods provided herein are useful for dispensing a fluid, such as a thixotropic fluid. In some embodiments, a bottle having a closure cap includes a flip top, a base, and a disk, where the base and disk define a mixing chamber configured to facilitate mixing of any serum or liquid separated from the fluid back therein. In some configurations, the base has a central opening through which the fluid exits and an internal shaft with a non-planar end surface opposite the central opening. In some configurations, the non-planar end surface and the disk define channels between the mixing chamber and the internal shaft. In some embodiments, the disk includes a central opening, a plurality of partial annular openings through a planar surface of the disk, and projections extending into the mixing chamber.

A massage applicator for massaging cream-type fluids into the skin, provided with an end wall with a massage region, on which massage elevations are provided. The end wall is penetrated by at least one outlet channel for the cream-type fluid. The massage applicator is provided with suitable markings in the massage region for measuring the fluid to be used, the applicator is provided with a cover which can be blocked in an open position and/or secured in a closed position, and an assembly of two valves is used in order to secure against unintentional discharge.

In order to prevent or minimize littering, the invention proposes a plastic closure (1) having a tamper-proof element. The plastic closure has a tamper-proof element that is as small as possible, and the plastic closure is largely secured against loss. The tamper-proof element consists of a plate (50), which is formed as part of the jacket wall (30) of the cover (3) by means of designed breaking point bridges (51, 52) and lies behind a first apron (25) in the closed state before the first opening and engages in a window (26) of the first apron by means of a locking hook. After the first opening, the plate (50) is separated from the cover and is held captive between the first apron (25) and a second, inner apron (27).

A liquid dosing device for dispensing a metered dose of liquid from a squeezable container, comprising an outlet passage leading to a discharge opening; a dosing chamber positioned behind said discharge opening and having at least one entrance opening allowing a charging flow of liquid from said container into said dosing chamber under the influence of weight of liquid, and a drive opening allowing a control flow of liquid from said container into said dosing chamber in response on a rise of pressure of liquid in the squeezable container; a floating plunger movably arranged in the dosing chamber so as to advance upon said rise of pressure from a rest position in which under the influence of a lifting force of buoyancy said floating plunger closes said drive opening, into a blocking position in which said floating plunger blocks said outlet passage, wherein said floating plunger when advancing into said blocking position, pushes said liquid charged into said dosing chamber, to said outlet passage; a stop seat upon which said floating plunger acts in its blocking position, and a sealing lip for closing said outlet passage, being arranged such that a seat-sided portion of the floating plunger or a plunger-sided portion of the stop seat and said sealing lip is formed, particularly injection-mold, of one single piece of the same plastic material.

A container closure including a retaining ring which extends around a reference axis of the container closure, a cap part and a hinge which connects the retaining ring to the cap part. The cap part has an end plate, an enclosing circumferential wall and a grip projection which extends radially outward from the circumferential wall, axially with a distance to the end plate. A deformable region of the circumferential wall extends diametrically opposite the hinge, between the end plate and the grip projection, and has a latching projection directed radially inward, a lower wall section which lies between the latching projection and the grip projection and an upper wall section which lies between the latching projection and the end plate.

A closure that may be used on a container such as a bottle that holds personal care products is disclosed.

A Multi-component closure is proposed, which comprises a bottom part with a laminar support and a neck arranged thereto in one piece, which comprises a neck opening, a restring enclosing the neck and a first locking element, which is designed in between a neck opening and the restring. A screw cap is provided with a retaining ring and with a closure cap attached via a hinge to the retaining ring, where the retaining ring is kept rotatable by the restring, and where the closure cap comprises at least a second locking element, which in a closed state acts together with the at least one first locking element, to close the neck opening with the closure cap in a liquid-tight manner and that in the closed state a turn of the screw cap around the neck in a first direction causes an opening of the screw cap.
