  • Patent number: 8672172
    Abstract: A system for organizing very similar articles in a container so that the user can readily identify the desired article. A “menu” may be used to readily identify the articles, which preferably are non-food, consumer items, such as bandages or first-aid supplies. The “menu” may be provided in the lid of the container. If desired, the “menu” may be fixedly provided in the lid of the container, such as on the interior-facing surface of a flip-top or hinged-lid of the container. The articles may be organized in an insert or tray that is removable from a shell portion of the container so the shell can be used for other purposes.

  • Patent number: 6988642
    Abstract: A dispenser bottle and associated closure has a sifter disposed in the neck thereof, either in the form of castellated vents formed in the interior peripheral edge of the neck or a separate sifter element. A rotatable cap is positioned over the sifter. The cap has holes that align with the vents or holes in the sifter to dispense material from the bottle. A removable lock ring is removeably conjoined to the cap to evidence tampering. One embodiment employs a squeeze tab that is depressed to open the bottle thereby increasing the dexterity required for opening. Another embodiment employs a rotatable sifter that must be held by one hand while the cap is held and rotated relative to the sifter by the other hand. A detent provides resistance to opening.

  • Patent number: 6237787
    Abstract: A packaging system for storing and dispensing liquid or powder products. The product is housed within an inner container having a body defined by a side wall and an opening therein for dispensing the product. A flexible outer shell substantially surrounds the inner container and is removably secured thereto. The outer shell can be designed to resemble the three-dimensional shape of an animal, cartoon character or the like, for superior aesthetic appeal. The contents of the inner container may be sealed with a closure. A three dimensional topper may be provided, which is designed to resemble the head or upper portion of the character being depicted. The outer shell can be squeezed to cause dispensing of the product from the inner container, and can be adapted to hold inner containers of all shapes and sizes. The inner container is easily replaced once empty.
