Abstract: A container has an opening and a nozzle disposed within the opening. The nozzle has a sealed tip that extends from the opening. A cap having an opening therethrough is secured to the nozzle. To use the container, the tip of the nozzle is cut to enable a viscous fluid to dispense therefrom at a first thickness. When the cap is re-secured to the nozzle, the opening of the cap enables the viscous food substance to dispense therefrom at a second thickness that is less than the first thickness.

Abstract: A novel fluid supply cup comprises a flexible liner integral with a container having an opening and a vent. A novel method of manufacturing a lined container comprises the steps of molding a container having a vented thick-walled portion and an integral flexible thin-walled liner, and folding the thin-walled liner into the thick-walled portion. Finally, a novel method of applying a fluid comprises the steps of providing a flexible liner integral with a container having an opening and a vent, loading fluid into the liner, engaging the container with a fluid applicator, flowing the fluid out of the liner into the fluid applicator, collapsing the liner, and flowing the fluid of the fluid applicator.

In a special embodiment, the set breaking point (10) is configured as a series of holes surrounding the central part (5b) connected to the suction lance (7).

Abstract: A solution applicator comprising a solution container having a frangible twist-off member that enables solution in the solution container to flow out of the solution container when the twist-off member is twisted. The solution applicator also comprises an applicator head having a proximal end and a distal end and a solution pathway extending from the proximal end to the distal end, the applicator head being engaged with said solution container at the proximal end, the applicator head having an aperture and applicating material at the distal end, and the applicator end having a receiving member that the twist-off member engages when the applicator is rotated relative to the solution container to thereby open the solution container at the twist-off member to enable fluid to flow from the solution container to the applicating material.

Abstract: A tamper-proofing device for units consisting of a container tube (1) with a neck (5) to allow the product to leave the container, and a top (2) with a lower section (3) connected to the tube (1), in addition to a hinged lid (4) for this section which closes over.

Abstract: A container top includes rotatable elements that are used to dispense matter from the container. The top includes a drum with chambers of varying volumes, and a rotatable disc on opposing ends of the drum to allow material to flow into and out of selected chambers of the drum. A spout is rotatably connected to one end of the drum with one disc connected to rotate with the spout, and a cap is rotatably connected to an opposing end of the drum. The drum and spout are rotated to control the filling of the chambers and the emptying of selected chambers. Latches extend between the parts to hold them together while allowing the rotation. Resilient rings are interposed between the drum and mating parts to allow resilient sealing of the chambers during rotation.

Abstract: A pre-filled oral liquid disposable plastic container along with its storage means are provided to deliver medication to a patient in a easy to use and sanitary manner. The plastic container (20) includes a hollow bulb portion (22) on one end and a hollow stem portion (24) on the other. A bulbous flange (26) is integrally formed onto the distal end or the hollow stem, thus permitting comfortable insertion of the container into a patient's mouth. A specified quantity of liquid medication (28) is pre-filled into the container with the container sized appropriately. The plastic in the container is colored, thereby indicating the type of liquid medication, and permitting the medication to be colorless and still maintain its identity. All of the containers have a recognizable shape on the bulb portion, such as a cylinder with spherical ends for adult medicine, or in some shape attractive to infants and small children.

Abstract: An opening and closing device for a package containing a pourable product. The device is affixed to the package at the top end of the package and includes a ring affixed to the surface of the package. The ring encompasses an intended pouring opening which is prescored. A combination of a rupture element and a lever arm are hingedly mounted within the ring in position for activation of the rupture element through the lever arm, to rotate the distal end of the rupture element against the prescored region and to partly tear away a tab of the package. Further rotation of the rupture element carries the tab into the interior of the package. Provision is made for retention of the rupture element and tab within the interior of the package out of the flow path of contents being poured from the package through the opening formed by removal of the tab.

Abstract: A dispenser package and outlet forming structure include a package wall (20) and a flap (30). Flap (30) is folded over at any desirable location of the package (10) and is adhesively attached to the package wall (20) at any predetermined location. Flap (30) is folded so that the surface of flap (30) that is adhesed to the surface of the package wall (20) is one continuous surface. When a pulling force exerted by a user exceeds the adhesion force between the package wall (20) and the flap (30), the flap (30) will break away from the package wall (20) causing a locus, fault, or score (40) to rupture. The rupturing of the locus, fault, or score (40) also causes the aperture outlet (50) to rupture thereby forming an outlet hole at a predetermined location for allowing the flowable product contents to exit the package (10).
