Abstract: A composition container is described. The composition container includes an interior portion to contain a composition. A recess along a back surface of the composition container promotes the collapse of the composition container along the back surface. A number of reinforcing ribs on the front surface of the composition container promote the preservation of the front surface of the composition container during collapse of the composition container.

Abstract: A composition container is described. The composition container includes a reservoir to contain the composition. The container also includes a protrusion extending from a surface of the reservoir. The protrusion interfaces with a retaining bracket. The protrusion includes a number of vertical ribs that extend from a surface of the protrusion and a number of horizontal rinks that extend from the surface of the protrusion.

Abstract: A movable valve for a valve assembly is described. The present valve comprises a plug attached to an immovable mounting flange by at least two non-resilient spider-like legs comprising first and second rigid leg segments that meet at hinging apexes positioned higher than the plug. The plug resists vertical displacement by virtue of the stiff leg segments having appropriately configured curvature and length. Actuation of the valve is through vertical displacement of the plug against the biasing forces, wherein displacement of the plug causes bowing of the legs without any stretching or change in the length of the leg segments.

Abstract: A closure for a non-refillable bottle is provided wherein the closure is designed to break apart into at least two portions when an attempt is made to pry the closure from the bottle. The breakage is directed across a frangible demarcation that is configured such that breakage of the closure into pieces does not compromise the seal of the closure on the bottle.

Abstract: The invention provides a vapor dispersing device having a frangible ampoule containing a volatizable material and a jacket around the ampoule for transferring the volatizable material to an evaporative pad. The jacket may include an extension serving as a wick between the ampoule and the evaporative pad. A portion of the device housing is movable to rupture the ampoule to initiate the transfer of the volatizable material.
