A closure and filter for a multi-use water bottle. The closure has a main body having an outlet through which fluid passes to be consumed by the user and an air valve remote from the outlet to provide an air channel through the closure distinct from the fluid outlet to allow flow of air into the bottle as fluid passes through the outlet.

A cover device (2) for a drink container comprises a basic assembly (9) which is provided with a drink opening (32), and a valve arrangement (20) for blocking or unblocking a passage to the drink opening (32) from a drink container side of the cover device (2). The valve arrangement (20) comprises a valve element (26) having two portions (27, 28) which are connected to each other through an area of the valve element (26) at a position where the valve element (26) is hingably associated with the basic assembly (9), and wherein only one of the two portions (27, 28) is in direct communication with the drink opening (32) of the basic assembly (9), so that a smallest total moment of force may be realized on the one portion (28) when the valve element (26) is subjected to pressure from the drink container side of the cover device (2).

A container and closure combination, for the containment of fluids and extraction therefrom by way of an extraction tube. The container comprises a closed volume with an opening configured to close the opening of the container; the closure is provided with an aperture such that the closure, upon fitment to the container opening, cannot be removed therefrom. The aperture of the closure comprises a unitary elastic unidirectional valve member that can operate in a first, closed condition, to prevent a flow of fluid from the container; and a second, operational condition, with an extraction tube sealingly engaged with respect to the valve, to permit an extraction of fluid from the container through the tube.

The invention relates to a lid for releasable attachment to a container for containment of fluid, the container having an opening defined by a first rim, the lid comprising a body having a second rim adapted for abutment onto the first rim, and a flange comprising a body having an outer periphery for abutment to an inner surface of the container, wherein the body of the flange is adapted to permit fluid flow through the flange to exit the container between the first and second rim. There is also provided an abutment assembly of the container being adapted to receive the second rim of the lid for selectively displacing at least one portion of the second rim of the lid to allow fluid to exit the container. In an arrangement, the abutment assembly may be of the second rim.

The present invention provides a treatment liquid exhibiting excellent selectivity in dissolving SiGe in a case where the SiGe is etched with the treatment liquid. The present invention also provides a treatment liquid container relating to the treatment liquid.

The treatment liquid according to an embodiment of the present invention contains a fluoride ion source, an oxidant, an acetate solvent, and an additive, in which the additive is an additive that does not contain a Si atom.

A method and device for preserving wine or other oxygen sensitive items is disclosed. In some embodiments, the device has a housing, a pressure indicator, a pressure sensor, and a one-way valve. The housing is configured to seal an opening of a wine bottle. The housing has a closure side configured to be in communication with an interior of the wine bottle. The housing has an input channel extending through the housing. The pressure sensor is within the housing and is in communication with the closure side. The one-way valve is in the input channel. The pressure sensor is configured to move the pressure indicator to an indicating position when a predetermined amount of pressure is reached at the sensor.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of therapeutic substances that contain solid sodium percarbonate for use in a bath, and packaging for the therapeutic substances. The solid sodium percarbonate can be dissolved in a liquid, such as water, to produce a hydrogen peroxide solution. Hydrogen peroxide solutions can be provide beneficial effects to a user. The titrated sodium percarbonate can be mixed with other chemicals/materials in a pre-made packaging for ease of storage and using with a bath.

To solve the above problem, a venting device inserted into a sealing part of a pouch of a secondary battery according to the present invention includes: a housing inserted between confronting surfaces of the sealing part and sealed together with the sealing part; an element made of a metal and disposed in the housing and through which a passage is defined providing gas communication between an inside and an outside of the pouch; and a ball disposed at an outlet-side of the passage, the ball configured to open and close the passage, wherein, in the element, an edge of an inner circumference of a surface of the outlet-side of the passage is chamfered or filleted so as to face the ball, and the element includes: a surface treatment layer formed on the chamfered or filleted surface; and a layer made of a polymer and fused to the surface treatment layer.

A method of preserving an oxygen sensitive item is disclosed. The method involves injecting at least 0.15 gram of an inert gas into a container comprising the oxygen sensitive item and oxygen, without raising a pressure within the container above 10 psig, to form a barrier layer of the inert gas between the oxygen sensitive item and the oxygen in the container without displacing all of the oxygen from the container.
