Abstract: A system and method for supplying liquid laundry detergent refills to a consumer. A new empty refillable original laundry jug or container made of plastic or similar is sold with a small, lightweight first-use pouch of water-soluble laundry detergent pre-mix as a unit at a retail point of purchase. A separate supply of refill pouches of the pre-mix powder are available for purchase at any time after or separately from the original purchase of the original new empty jug. A consumer only needs to purchase the new empty refillable jug (with its included first-use pouch) once; subsequent refill pouches are purchased without a jug, and used to make an unlimited number of liquid refills in the originally purchased jug.

Abstract: A container comprising a metal frame or pallet box for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has a base and opposed sides, straight tracks, and a plurality of padded dunnage supports extending between the tracks. One type of padded dunnage support comprises end members and a tubular middle member, the end members being movable along the tracks. The padded dunnage supports support dunnage, such as pouches.

Abstract: A bladder and attachment member assembly for use with a container comprises an elastomeric gas-filled bladder comprising a valve stem. A first attachment member is disposed over the valve stem within the container with the bladder. A second attachment member is disposed over the valve stem and over the first attachment member. The second attachment member is outside of the container interposed between the valve stem and a container opening. Rotational movement of the valve stem is fixed relative to one or both of the first and second attachment members. In an example, the valve stem comprises one or more surface features that register with one or more surface features of the first and/or second attachment member to thereby fix relative valve stem rotational movement. In an example, the valve stem surface feature is a flat surface that registers with a flat surface of the second attachment member inside diameter.

Abstract: A stackable container, including a body and a cap threadingly engageable with a neck portion of the body and having a vaulted interior and a top portion formed with a frustro-pyramidal depression for snap-registered engagement with a base portion of a counterpart of the body, the cap further including handle projections and a skirt. Opposite stop structures prevent rotation of the cap relative to the body beyond predetermined threaded engagement; a detent releasably captures the body in the predetermined threaded engagement. A base portion of the body having inclined side walls facilitates rotation of the body with respect to the cap. The skirt guides the body into alignment with the cap. The base can have four of the side walls forming a square, the containers of a stack having any of four relative orientations. A consumable product such as a cosmetic can extend into the cap from the body.

Abstract: A basket may include a main body and a side frame. The side frame surrounds at the portion of a connecting edge, and a first side and second side clamps with each other by applying a pressure on the side frame, so the first side clamps at an inner portion of the connecting edge and the second side clamps at an outer portion thereof. Thus, the side frame can be quickly connected with the main body without bending the connecting edge to a predetermined angle, which can simplify the assembly process and further reduce the production costs.
