Abstract: A self-replenishing garnish dispenser comprising a carrier base and a plurality of separate bins receivable in the carrier base, the carrier base having a horizontally elongated channel for receiving and aligning bins side-by-side, each bin having walls forming a J-shaped space open at an upper end and a mid-height open end, the bin space being adapted to temporarily store condiments or garnish pieces received at the open upper end and dispensed at the mid-height end.

Abstract: An auto-folding tray support having a central column, a lower portion of the column being slidable in a central lower member, at least three support legs each pivotally connected at a respective mid-section to the central column above the lower member, a rigid link associated with each leg, each link being pivotally connected adjacent opposite ends of the link to the lower member and to a lower part of a respective leg, pivot connections of the links being arranged such that said lower parts of the legs are automatically spread from the central column when the central column is lowered into the lower member and are automatically drawn towards the central column when the central column is lifted relative to the lower member.

Abstract: An over cap brush for a squeeze dispensing bottle comprising a body injection molded as a single piece, the body being formed of a relatively soft elastomeric material, the body including a circular end wall, a generally cylindrical skirt at an outer periphery of the end wall defining a central axis and extending in one direction along the axis, the end wall having a central through hole and an outer face with a multitude of bristles distributed about the hole and extending axially from said face in a direction opposite the one direction, the skirt being of sufficient length so as to extend along the threads of a screw-on cap to retain the over cap brush on the cap by frictionally engaging the exterior of the skirt of the cap while the cap is disposed on a squeeze dispensing bottle.

Abstract: A refillable bottom dispensing package forming a closed space in which fluid material can be stored and from which such material can be dispensed, the package having a rigid wall adjacent a bottom thereof, the wall having a hole, a resilient valve regulating dispensing of the fluid material contained in the package through the hole, the valve being closed to the passage of fluid material through the hole when the contents of the package are substantially at atmospheric pressure and being opened by pressure on the contents when the pressure is above atmospheric pressure, the valve forming a flap seal against a surface of the wall, the sealing action of the flap seal against the wall surface being free of influence from structural elements of the package while being directly responsive in its sealing force against the wall surface to the pressure level of the contents in the package space, the inter-relationship of the flap seal and the wall within the package being arranged to avoid impeding removal of the val

Abstract: A plastic refillable bottle and a plastic screw-on closure for the bottle, the bottle having a one-piece molded hollow body and integral neck, the walls of the body and neck being of generally uniform thickness, the neck having an opening through which material in the bottle passes when being dispensed and being formed with a helical thread, the closure being configured to extend across the bottle mouth and having a skirt for overlying the bottle neck, the closure skirt having a thread complementary to the thread on the neck and enabling the closure to be tightened onto the neck and effect a seal adequate to avoid excessive leakage of the contents out of the bottle through an interface between the skirt and neck, interior surfaces of the bottle and closure including the areas of the bottle and closure forming the respective threads being devoid of concave surface areas with a radius smaller than about ?? at corners forming an angle of less than 135°.
