Patent number: 9809353Abstract: A container for storing and dispensing liquids, with at least one stacking feature, a dispenser to dispense liquid contained in the container, a handle for carrying the container, an angle (?) which is the angle between a line (DD?) perpendicular to a reference lifting plane (Lp) cutting through the handle and a line parallel to a vertical of the container in a filling orientation, and a tilt angle (B) which is the angle between the line (DD?) and a line going through a location of a center of gravity of the filled container in the direction of a weight force of the container. When the container is in a filling orientation the tilt angle (B) and the angle (?) coincide, while when the container is lifted perpendicular to the lifting plane (Lp), the tilt angle (B) is substantially zero.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: MCCORMICK & COMPANY, INCORPORATEDInventors: Thomas Koll Porter Gieske, David A.

Patent number: 9731875Abstract: An injection closure system includes a bottle containing a product to be distributed and a closure attached to the bottle and including nozzles. Each of the nozzles includes two holes through which the product is distributed from the bottle. The bottle includes a plurality of teeth extending around an outer surface of the bottle and the closure includes a plurality of teeth extending around an inner surface of the closure. When the closure is in a fully attached position on the bottle, the teeth of the bottle contact the teeth of the closure to prevent the closure from being removed from the bottle.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: MCCORMICK & COMPANY, INCORPORATEDInventors: Tracie L.

Patent number: 9687010Abstract: A glassy extrusion encapsulation composition and a method of making the composition are provided. The encapsulation composition comprises an encapsulate encapsulated in a glassy matrix comprising 0.5 to 12% by weight, based on the total weight of the glassy matrix, of at least one surface active plant extract, and 88 to 99.5% of at least one carbohydrate. The addition of a surface active plant extract to a carbohydrate matrix markedly increases the load of an encapsulate in the encapsulation composition. Such glassy matrices are useful for encapsulation of encapsulates, for example, flavors and medications. A food composition containing the encapsulation composition is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: McCormick & Company, IncorporatedInventors: Dmitriy Zasypkin, Shriram Paranjpe, Michael Reick, Suzanne Johnson
