Abstract: A container system (20) comprises: a container body (22) having a sidewall (26), a shoulder (32), and an externally threaded neck (34) extending from the shoulder; and a closure (24) having an internally threaded inner sidewall (50) extending from a rim, an outer sidewall (60), and an installed condition with the inner sidewall in threaded engagement with the neck. The outer sidewall has a radially inwardly protruding barb (80) having a ramping surface (82) and a stop surface (84). The container body shoulder has a lug (90) having a ramping surface (92) and a stop surface (94). A first projection (120) protrudes radially outward from the outer sidewall to a first circumferential side of the barb and a second projection (122) protrudes radially outward from the outer sidewall to a second circumferential side of the barb.

Abstract: The dispensing cap/cup (26) has a sidewall (100) and a transverse web (102) spanning the sidewall to create a cup structure. The sidewall has an interior surface and an exterior surface. The sidewall has a plurality of fill level indicia (140, 142) along the interior surface. The fill level indicia comprise a raised boundary (150) and texturing (152) within the boundary.

Abstract: A bottle handling apparatus handles bottles (50) of a nominal neck (70) radius. The apparatus has a carrier (140) and a plurality of bottle guides (100; 180; 200) mounted to the carrier and each comprising a bottle-engaging recess (110). The bottle-engaging recess accommodates necks of different eccentricities.

Abstract: A resin is provided which is the adduct of a bisphenol and a diglycidyl ether of a bisphenol reacted with an anhydride to an Acid No. of 35 to 150. This resin is solubilized with a volatile amine, ammonia, or NH.sub.4 OH in a solvent mixture of water, alkoxyethanols, alcohols, and alkyl ethers of diethylene glycol and combined with an aminoplast to produce a coating composition utilizable to coat metal surfaces that will contact a food or beverage, such as in metal packaging containers.
