Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed to a child-proof cap that is easier to open for adults than traditional child-resistant closures, yet remains resistant to opening by children. The child-proof cap may be opened in a pull-and-flip motion with a single hand.

Abstract: There is provided an applicator head (10) for administration of a topical formulation, comprising a dosing aid for application of a predefined dose of the topical formulation. The applicator head (10) comprises an applicator surface (20) adapted to apply the topical formulation to a user's skin. The applicator surface (20) comprises an outlet opening (40). The dosing aid comprises a dose marking, or dose markings (60, 60?, 60?, 62?, 62?) on the applicator surface (20), wherein the dose marking (60, 60?, 60?, 62?, 62?) has a circular outline and a diameter D, and wherein the outlet opening (40) is disposed in the center of the circular outline, and wherein the dose marking (60, 60?, 60?, 62?, 62?) circumscribes an inner dosing compartment (64) that serves to measure the predefined dose of the topical formulation.

Abstract: A tamper-proof and controlled dosing container including a container to store contents, an actuator coupled with the container, the actuator being depressible in a longitudinal direction to drive the contents held in the container out of a nozzle protruding horizontally from the actuator, and a functional ring. The functional ring further includes a tamper ring portion, a dosing ring portion, and a nozzle plug. The nozzle plug is affixed to the functional ring at one end and includes a protrusion at the opposite end to plug an orifice of the nozzle. The tamper ring portion is removably provided on the functional ring so as to prevent tampering with the contents held in the container. The dosing ring portion is controls the dose dispensed from the container by limiting the vertical movement of the actuator.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed to a variable dose container. The variable dose container may comprise a container including a top portion, a bottom portion, and a side wall portion, the space between the bottom portion and the side wall portion defining an interior space, wherein the container stores contents within the interior space. The variable dose container may further include an actuator coupled with the top portion of the container that is depressible in a longitudinal direction to drive the contents held in the interior space of the container out of a nozzle protruding horizontally from the actuator. Additionally, the variable dose container may include a collar under the nozzle, a top circumferential edge of the collar containing one or more grooves of varying depth into which the nozzle can be inserted when depressed, thereby adjusting a distance the actuator is moved in the longitudinal direction.
