A device for indicating exposure to a pressure. The device may include a base layer, a plurality of microcapsules, and a coating, with the microcapsules being disposed between the base layer and the coating. The microcapsules contain a indicator material that can be released once the microcapsules burst. The microcapsules then have a compressive bursting strength that is chosen or designed to be less than a selected pressure (e.g., the pressure being that to which a particular article may be exposed during high pressure processing). Thus, when the device is subjected to a pressure greater than the compressive bursting strength, at least some microcapsules burst, the indicator material is released from the microcapsules, and the release of the indicator material can be detected by observation of the device. The device may be a label that is associated (such as by being affixed) to the article being subjected to pressure (or multiple labels being associated (such as by being affixed) to multiple articles. Alternatively, the device may be associated with an article or articles without being affixed thereto.

A packaged filtration mask comprising a filtration mask packaged in a container in a vacuum or a partial vacuum, wherein the packaged filtration mask comprises an indicator configured to indicate the presence of a vacuum or a partial vacuum in the container, or configured to indicate the lack of a vacuum or a partial vacuum in the container.

A valve assembly for a dispensing container includes a closure body detachably coupled to a co-injected valve. The closure body includes a main closure body coupled to a closure cap via a flexible hinge. The co-injected valve includes a valve head and a valve frame. The valve head includes a valve head portion with multiple valve head slits, a sleeve portion, and a peripheral sealing flange. The valve frame is permanently coupled to the valve head and includes a radial ledge and a radial wall that support the peripheral sealing flange of the valve head. The co-injected valve is fabricated via a two-step injection molding process. The first step includes fabricating the valve frame from a first injection material, and the second step includes fabricating the valve member from a second injection material.

A container comprises a container body having a top, a bottom and a wall extending between the top and bottom. The container also comprises a lid located along the wall at the top of the container body. The lid and container body are made from PET. The lid includes a rounded portion that accommodates vacuum pressure during the hot fill process.

Provided is a delamination container having improved oxygen barrier properties. The present invention provides a delamination container provided with a container body having an outer shell and an inner pouch, the inner pouch being adapted to delaminate from the outer shell and contract in association with a decrease of the contents, wherein the inner layer constituting the inner pouch is provided with, in order from the container outer surface side, an outside layer, an adhesive layer, and an inside layer. The outside layer includes an EVOH layer, and the inside layer has a thickness of 60-200 m and a flexural modulus of 250 MPa or less, the value (thickness of the inside layer/thickness of the EVOH layer) being 1.1-5, and the total thickness of the inside layer being 100-250 m.

A vented metal can end is provided. The can end includes a tab and a tab rivet. The can end includes an outer score and a vent score. The vent score is formed in the end wall and located beneath the nose of the tab. The vent score is positioned such that the tab rivet is located between the vent score and the center point of the end wall and the vent score is also located between the outer score and the tab rivet.

Disclosed herein are elastomer composites stored in a container or package. The composite is uncured and comprises at least one elastomer and at least one filler. The package or container comprises at least one wall surrounding the composite wherein the at least one wall comprises at least one oxygen barrier layer. Containers or packages having this oxygen barrier wall have an oxygen transmission rate of no more than 100 cm.sup.3/(m.sup.2.Math.day.Math.atm) at 23 C. and 0% relative humidity. Also disclosed are methods for storing elastomer composites with the packages or containers disclosed herein.

The present invention relates generally to a dent prevention structure of a food cooking container. More particularly, the present invention relates to a dent prevention structure of a food cooking container, in which the dent prevention structure allows vapor produced from contents in the container to be discharged to the outside of the container through a discharge hole, and allows outside air to be supplied to an inner space part of the container through the discharge hole, thereby preventing the container from being dented inwards. The dent prevention structure being open at an upper part thereof to store food includes: an inner space part; a flange surface; a main sealing protrusion part; an auxiliary sealing protrusion part; a discharge hole; a sharp part; and protrusion guides.
