The invention relates to a cleaning product comprising: an inverted container assembly (10) comprising an inverted container (11) and a liquid dispenser (15) attached to a bottom surface (12) of the inverted container (11), and a viscous cleaning composition contained in the inverted container assembly (10).

A container (100) is provided that includes a chamber (102), a dispensing passageway and a resilient valve (120). The chamber contains a viscous fluidic material. The valve (120) is configured to transition from a normal state to a dispensing state upon a discharge pressure being applied to the chamber (102) to allow the viscous fluidic material to pass through the orifice (131) of the resilient valve and to be dispensed from the dispensing passageway as a string of the viscous fluidic material. The orifice (131) is open in the normal state. The valve is also configured to return from the dispensing state to the normal state upon cessation of the discharge pressure, whereby the resilient valve (120) assumes a pinching state while returning from the dispensing state to the normal state in which the string of the viscous fluidic material is pinched off by the orifice edge.

A mixing cartridge delivery system, which mixes additive with base liquid flowing through it, utilizes a dispensing closure valve to achieve improved flow of mixed liquid from the cartridge. A closure base may include a tethered lid. A flexible valve, such as a slit valve, is supported on a valve supporting end of the closure base and retained thereon with a valve retainer that interlocks with the closure base. The system may include a one-way valve for base liquid and a mixing section defined in the cartridge. The dispensing closure valve achieves improved flow characteristics in combination with the base liquid valve. The dispensing closure valve also prevents leakage and inadvertent discharge from the cartridge system.

A discharge-type cap includes an outer housing detachably coupled to an inner surface of an upper opening of a container, a button portion hinged to an upper portion of the outer housing, and a tube having one end located in a lower portion of the outer housing and the other end located on a side of the button portion. The button portion includes an upper tube insertion hole which has a lower surface and a side surface communicating to each other and into which the tube is inserted, and the outer housing includes a lower tube insertion hole having a central portion into which the tube is inserted and inclined in a direction in which the other end of the tube is located.

There is provided a material dispensing device that may include a first flexible hollow housing (5); a second flexible hollow housing (7), each of the first and second flexible hollow housings (5, 7) may have a proximal end (50, 70) and a distal end (51, 71); and a removable connector (6) configured to be separably connected to the proximal ends (50, 70) of the first and second flexible hollow housings (5, 7), thus defining a first compartment and a second compartment. Each of the first and second flexible hollow housings (5, 7) may have one or more slits (500, 700) in proximity to a corresponding distal end (51, 71), wherein each of the one or more slits (500, 700) may have a normally closed state and may be configured to open only when a user applies a manual lateral force to external surfaces of the first and/or second flexible hollow housings (5, 7) in proximity to a corresponding distal end (51, 71), thus allowing materials enclosed in the first and/or second compartments to pass through the one or more slits (500, 700) to the outside of such compartments.

A sealing closure for dispensing fluid includes a closure body. The closure body has an attachment portion configured to attach to a container containing fluid, a dispensing portion, and a conduit connecting the attachment portion and dispensing portion and configured to direct fluid from the attachment portion to the dispensing portion. The sealing closure further includes a spring lid attached to the dispensing portion. The spring lid has a first portion coupled to the closure body, a second portion not attached to the closure body. The second portion is configured to contact the closure body when a pressure of the fluid is below a threshold, and flex to separate from the closure body when the pressure of the fluid meets or exceeds the threshold to create an opening for dispensing the fluid.

A container that stores and dispenses a fluid agent container comprises a flexible body portion, a duckbill valve, and a cap. The flexible body portion defines an internal cavity; the internal cavity is configured to store the fluid agent therein; and an opening is defined in the body portion. The duckbill valve is coupled to the opening of the body portion, with the duckbill valve being configurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration such that the duckbill valve prevents the flow of the fluid agent out of the internal cavity when the duckbill valve is in the closed configuration and permits the flow of the fluid agent out of the internal cavity when the duckbill valve is in the open configuration. The duckbill valve is prevented from being motivated into the open configuration when the cap is coupled to the body portion.

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a printing fluid container for a printing system is described. The printing fluid container includes a container body for holding printing fluid, a collar connected to the container body, and a cap removably engaging the collar. The collar has a plurality of collar teeth extending peripherally around the collar. The cap has a plurality of cap teeth extending peripherally around the cap. The cap teeth are configured for interfitment with the collar teeth such that rotation of the cap about the longitudinal axis in a first rotational direction effects cam-actuated removal of the cap from the collar.

A closure assembly including a closure base configured to be selectively coupled to a neck of a liquid vessel and a valve assembly operatively coupled to the closure base, the valve assembly comprising a nozzle that extends away from the closure base and defines at least one drink outlet, shower outlets spaced around the at least one drink outlet, and a barrel valve, the barrel valve being configured to be selectively rotated relative to the closure base to transition the valve assembly between a closed configuration, in which a flow of liquid from the liquid vessel through the closure assembly is restricted, a drink configuration, in which liquid is permitted to flow from the liquid vessel through the drink outlet but not the shower outlets, and the shower configuration, in which liquid is permitted to flow from the liquid vessel through the shower outlets but not the drink outlet.

A container and method of manufacture of a container made of a single material is provided. The container includes a base having a base perimeter with a surface, and a wall having an upper edge and a lower edge, the upper edge comprising two upper edge portions, wherein the lower edge is affixed about the entire perimeter surface, and the first upper edge portion is affixed to the second upper edge portion, thereby forming a space to hold foodstuffs. The base stock material is cut and formed into a base with the base perimeter. A seal is applied between the lower edge of the wall and the surface of the base perimeter. Another seal is applied to two vertical end portions of the wall, forming a cup-like container with an internal space. A final seal is applied between two portions of the upper edge of the wall completing the container.
