A one-time use bottle. The bottle is filled with a drinkable liquid and then a liner is sealed on top of the bottle. A lid contains lid assembly threads which cooperate with neck assembly threads located on the neck of the bottle which enable the lid to be screwed onto the bottle in a sealed position. The lid also contains lid opening threads which cooperate with neck opening threads located on the neck of the bottle which enable the lid to be screwed into the neck further thereby cutting into the liner and exposing the drinkable liquid. The drinkable liquid can now be drank via a spout in the lid. The lid cannot be removed from the neck and hence once used, the apparatus would have no further use and would be disposed of.

A membrane for use with a container is provided herein. The membrane comprises a first layer comprising a peripheral area defined by a first perimeter of the first layer, and a first line of weakness formed inward of the first perimeter. The first line of weakness defines a flap. The membrane further comprises a second layer comprising a peripheral zone defined by a second perimeter of the second layer and a second line of weakness formed inward of the second perimeter. The second line of weakness defines a central portion. The membrane further comprises a first seal area comprising at least a portion of the peripheral zone of the second layer being adhered to at least a portion of the peripheral area of the first seal area.

A reusable pour spout system that may be attached to different container types to dispense different substances, including course and fine granular materials and liquids. A port component has a proximal tubular end and a flange that is larger than the tubular end. The flange further includes a hole-cutting structure adapted to pierce the wall of a container, with a cutting edge adapted to form a hole in the container when the port component is rotated by a user after piercing. This positions the flange within the container with the tubular end exposed to receive a nut that traps the wall of the container between the nut and the flange. A cap is provided to seal off the port. The tubular end of the port component, the nut, and the cap may all be threaded. Different structures to enhance cutting and sealing are disclosed along with preferred method steps.

A can end (10) has a curl (14) extending circumferentially about a longitudinal axis (50). A circumferential wall (15) extends downwardly. A strengthening member (16) is joined to lower segment of the circumferential wall (15). A center panel (12) extends radially inwardly from the circumferential strengthening member (16). A rivet (38) attaches a tab (28) to the center panel (12). A cover (60) is attached to the tab (28) and is rotation therewith. A frangible score (24) in the center panel (12) is breakable to form a pour opening (27) in the center panel (12). The cover (60) is rotatable to overlay the pour opening (27) and effectively reclose the pour opening (27) in a reclosed condition of the can end (10).

An assembly for dispensing a substance into a receptacle, the assembly including: a) a first portion connected to an opening of the receptacle; b) a chamber for containing the substance, the chamber being at least partly located within the first portion; c) a seal located below the chamber, the seal retaining the substance in the chamber; d) a removable stop member; and wherein removal of the stop member enables the chamber to be moved downwardly to cause the seal to open and release the substance into the receptacle.

A sealing container is designed to enable a user to adjust the timing of discharging the contents. The sealing container includes: a bag-shaped member for accommodating the contents therein, a sealing film for sealing the bag-shaped member, an opening means so configured that at least a part of which is movable toward the sealing film and is capable of opening the sealing film, an operation unit for performing an operation of moving the opening means, and a discharge means configured to be capable of discharging the contents from the bag-shaped member at a timing different from a timing at which the opening means penetrates the sealing film by operating the operation unit. It is possible for the user to perform only the operation of opening the sealing film by operating the operation unit, so that the user is able to arbitrarily adjust the timing at which the content is discharged from the bag-shaped member of the sealing container.

A method of manufacturing a pouch container, includes: forming a pouch bag having one open end, by fusion-bonding a resin layer on an inner side of an end of a first film, with a resin layer on an inner side of an end of one or more second films; molding a mouth part member made of a resin, including a brim portion and a standing portion; attaching a lower surface of the brim portion of the mouth part member made of the resin to an outer resin layer of the first film of the pouch bag, by integrating the resins, using one of ultrasonic, heat, or high-frequency welding; filling the pouch bag with contents from the one open end of the pouch bag; and sealing an inside by fusion-bonding the one open end of the pouch bag to seal the pouch bag.

According to certain embodiments, a connector for dispensing a liquid from a container comprises a main body connectable to the container and a subassembly being movable relative to the main body between an inactivated position and an activated position. The subassembly comprises inner and outer hollow piercing members. When the main body is connected to the container and the subassembly is moved from the inactivated position to the activated position, the inner hollow piercing member is arranged to pierce a seal of an inner cavity of the container, and the outer piercing member is arranged to pierce a seal of an outer cavity of the container.
