Abstract: A container has a body with a body opening. A spout fitment base is positioned within the body opening. A spout has a threaded engagement with the spout fitment base for movement between a retracted position and an extended position. A cap has a removed condition disengaged from the body, spout fitment base, and spout. The cap has an installed condition having a threaded engagement with at least one of the body and spout base fitment. An unscrewing of the cap from its installed condition rotates the spout so that the threaded engagement with the spout with the spout base fitment drive the spout from the retracted condition toward the extended condition.

Abstract: In a bottle spout fitment (24) and cap (26) combination, the cap (26) has a removed condition disengaged from the spout fitment and an installed condition mounted to the spout fitment. The cap has a plurality of radially-protruding lugs (132). The spout fitment has a spout (60) and a plurality of channels (118) positioned to receive the lugs (132) in the installed condition to block a longitudinal extraction of the cap from the spout fitment.

Abstract: A container has a body, a spout fitment, and a cap. The body has a body opening. The spout fitment is within the body opening and secured by a backlocked mechanical engagement. The cap is threadingly mounted to at least one of the body and spout fitment. The cap has a sealing surface sealingly contacting a sealing surface of at least one of the body and spout fitment.

Abstract: A container has a body with a body opening. A spout fitment is mounted within the body opening. A cap has a removed condition disengaged from the body and spout fitment. The cap has an installed condition threadingly mounted to at least one of the body and spout fitment. The spout fitment and body have first interfitting features positioned to resist an extraction of the spout fitment from the body. The spout fitment and body have second interfitting features positioned to angularly orient the spout fitment about an axis of the body opening.

Abstract: A container (20) has a body (22) having a body opening (40). A spout fitment (24) is mounted within the body opening. A cap (26) has: a sidewall (120); a web (122) enclosing an upper end of the sidewall; a flange (124) extending outward from the sidewall; an external thread (132) along the sidewall below the flange; a removed condition disengaged from the body and spout fitment; and an installed condition threadingly mounted by the external thread to at least one of the body and spout fitment. In the installed condition, a perimeter portion (128) of the flange is below a rim (110) of the spout fitment.

Abstract: A dispenser has a multi-piece, multi-material, screw, user-engagable element, and reciprocal compliance spring arrangement.

Abstract: A product dispenser including a product cylinder having a cylinder wall defining a cavity for holding a product, and a housing having a flexible wall defining an inner space for releaseably holding the product cylinder wherein the flexible wall is configurable between a dispensing configuration, wherein the product cylinder is held within the housing, and a refillable configuration, wherein the product cylinder can be removed from the housing.

Abstract: A dispenser assembly includes an inner housing having an upper end, a lower end, and a wall defining a product space for containing a product to be dispensed; an outer housing having an upper end, a lower end, and a wall defining an inner space, the inner housing being rotatably mounted within the outer housing so that the inner housing can be rotated relative to the outer housing; structure within the housing for advancing product toward the upper end responsive to rotation of the inner housing relative to the outer housing; and a transfer member fixed relative to the outer housing and rotatably associated with the upper end of the inner housing, the transfer member having an applicator surface for applying product to a desired area, and at least one slot in the applicator surface for allowing transfer of product from the product space through the transfer member to the applicator surface.

Abstract: A dispenser for extruding cosmetic gels and cremes including a description of basic sub-assemblies, method of loading the dispenser and method of combining the sub-assemblies.

Abstract: A swivel up package for a deodorant or antiperspirant having specialized sealing which prevents leakage of product, in either its molten or volatile state, during manufacture, shipment and storage by containing all of the product within or above the elevator. The preferred package has a body of an oval or circular cross-section with an open top and a closed bottom. The bottom has a centralized aperture adapted to receive a spindle having a screw shaft disposed within the body and a dial or handwheel disposed outside the body. Also disposed within the body of the package is the elevator having a threaded central hub that is in engagement with the screw shaft. The periphery of the elevator is sealed along the internal surface of the body of the package. Further sealing is provided between the hub/threaded shaft interface when the elevator is in its lowermost position. The elevator has a reservoir to receive molten product during the fill process.

Abstract: A seal means for a roll-on liquid dispenser in the form of an expansible web which elongates biaxially to overlay the roller and seal the dispensing passage when a dispenser closure is moved to a closed position.
