A cap for a container, such as a water bottle, includes a spout, a state sensor, and an actuator that moves the spout between an open position and a closed position when the state sensor senses a state change for the cap. When a state change is sensed, for example when the container is tilted by a threshold amount, or when a pressure within the container has increased by a threshold amount, an actuator automatically moves the spout between an open position and a closed position. The control mechanism could also track use data, such as how many times the spout has been open/closed, or how much liquid has traveled through the spout.

Embodiments are directed to filtration container assemblies and methods of using the same. A filtration container assembly includes an outer container and a plunging assembly. The plunging assembly includes an inner sleeve, a filtration assembly, and a cap assembly having a pressing surface. When the outer container is at least partially filled with liquid, a user can exert pressure on the pressing surface of the plunging assembly to nest the plunging assembly within the outer container, using positive pressure to displace the liquid in the outer container through the filtration assembly into the inner sleeve. In some embodiments, at least a portion of a handle for the filtration container assembly may be a part of the pressing surface.

A liquid storage container includes: a discharge port member including a discharge port through which liquid stored in a storage portion is discharged; a cover portion configured to be attachable to the discharge port member and to be capable of opening and closing the discharge port; and a sealing portion formed of a contact portion between the cover portion and the discharge port member. The cover portion includes a groove structure between an outer periphery of the cover portion and the sealing portion.

When a known lid member was merely applied to a bottle that contains ink, there was room for improvement in terms of the operation of the lid member and the way how to bring attention to the handling thereof. A bottle set is provided that includes: a bottle that includes an ink container that contains ink, and an outflow port through which the ink in the ink container flows out to the outside; and a lid member that is configured to attach to and detach from the bottle, and is configured to cover the outflow port in a state of being attached to the bottle. The lid member includes a colored portion that has optical transparency and is colored with a color corresponding to a type of the ink contained in the ink container in at least a portion of the lid member.

An active-energy-ray-curable composition includes at least two or more kinds of polymerizable monomers (A), where a homopolymer of each of the polymerizable monomers (A) has a glass transition temperature of 80 degrees Celsius or more. The polymerizable monomers (A) have a polymerizable monomer (A1) where a homopolymer of the polymerizable monomer (A1) has an SP value of 10.8 or more but 12.2 or less determined by Fedors method. An amount of the polymerizable monomer (A1) is 3% by mass or more but 20% by mass or less relative to a total amount of the active-energy-ray-curable composition.

A dispensing closure (40) includes a body (54) for being located at the opening of a container (44) defining a central axis (30) and having a pour spout (72). The body (54) including a crushable seal (200) surrounding the pour spout (72), and the body (54) including a lateral projection (210) extending therefrom. The closure (40) includes a closing element (56) for being removably attached to the body (54) and having a lateral projection (220) extending therefrom. The closing element (56) and the body (54) have a closed condition in which the crushable seal (200) seals between the closing element (56) and the body (54) and the lateral projections (210, 220) are confronting to inhibit separation of the closing element (56) away from the body (54) along the central axis (30).

A pouch container packaging body and a pouch container package with which a container body can be more reliably opened. The packaging body includes a container body including a top sheet covering the container body at a top side and a spout fixed to an outer surface of the top sheet and including a dispensing space extending axially. The spout includes a fixed portion on the top sheet, a rotating portion to rotate the fixed portion, and a cutting portion to cut the top sheet. The top sheet includes a flat portion where the fixed portion is fixed. The cutting portion is positioned away from the flat portion in an initial state and moves while rotating in a direction from an external surface to an internal surface of the flat portion in response to rotation of the rotating portion, and cuts the flat portion.

Convenience of an ink bottle and a bottle set is improved. An ink bottle includes: a container portion that contains ink; a guiding portion that is formed in one end portion of the container portion, and includes an outflow port from which the ink in the container portion flow out; and a cover that covers at least an end portion of the container portion on the opposite side of the guiding portion.

A drinking vessel including a beverage container and a closure assembly attachable to the beverage container. The beverage container has a spout defining a first drinking opening and a second drinking opening. The closure assembly includes a positioning member and a sealing member. When the positioning member is in a sealing orientation, the positioning member can extend deep enough into the first drinking opening for the sealing member to seal the first drinking opening and the second drinking opening. When the positioning member is not in the sealing orientation, the positioning member cannot extend deep enough into the first drinking opening for the sealing member to seal the first drinking opening and the second drinking opening.

An insert may be used with a container that includes a lid with a suction opening and a liquid storage portion where the lid threads onto the liquid storage portion to allow liquid from the liquid storage portion to be consumed through the suction opening by a user. The insert includes a barrier with an outer perimeter that is configured to be captured, and form a seal against liquid, between the lid and the liquid storage portion when the lid is threaded onto the liquid storage portion; a first one-way valve through the barrier and configured to allow the liquid to flow from the liquid storage portion to the suction opening during consumption of the liquid by the user; and a second one-way valve configured to allow air to flow into the liquid storage portion.
