Abstract: The invention is directed to a reusable face mask that may be fitted with filter material from the inside, outside or both inside and outside of the mask. Any filter material can be used and easily replaced in the face mask which is washable and environmentally sustainable.

Abstract: Disclosed is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composition that comprises at least a first high density polyethylene component having a density of 0.940-0.968 g/cm3 and a melt index I2.16 of 0.5-10.0 dg/min and a melt flow ratio (flow index I21.6 at 190° C. divided by melt index I2.16 at 190° C.) of at least 25. A second HDPE component may be included in the composition with melt index I2.16 of greater than 10 dg/min and melt flow ratio of 30 or less. The disclosed compositions are suitable for use in living hinge closure applications.

Abstract: A container is provided which includes a container body, a cap closure and a plastic membrane. The container body has a receiving area capable of holding a product. An open mouth surrounds the receiving area. A cap closure is arranged over the open mouth. The cap closure includes a fitment engageable around the mouth and a lid hingedly connected to the fitment. The plastic membrane is integrally molded with the cap closure and sealingly prevents leakage from the receiving area. The membrane includes a minor area non-frangibly attached to the fitment having a V-shaped outer border with sections of the border converging to a pivot point, and a major area tangibly attached along its perimeter to the fitment and to the V-shaped outer border. A pull tab is formed on a surface of the membrane at the pivot point.

Abstract: A toggle-action dispensing closure is provided for manipulation between a closed, non-dispensing orientation and an open, dispensing orientation that is easily assembled, resists inadvertent opening and has an improved aesthetic appearance for variously shaped closures. The closure includes an actuator rotationally mounted on a housing whereby the housing may be secured to a container. The axis of rotation of the actuator is asymmetrically disposed in the housing. The actuator has a rear flange with an articulatable hinge that is longer than its front flange. When the closure is securely mounted to a container, the portion of the rear flange below the hinge resiliently contacts the container assisting in preventing inadvertently opening the closure.

Abstract: A bottle is provided with a visual camouflage appearance. Walls of the bottle include an outer first layer, a middle second layer and an optionally inner third layer. The first layer is transparent. The third layer can include a contrast coloring agent. The second layer includes foamed unevenly distributed regions arranged to create a camouflage appearance.

Abstract: A jar (2) for a cosmetic product is provided which includes a non-circular container body (4) and a cap closure (14). The container body (4) features a closed end (6) defined by a bottom panel (8) and an open end defined by a mouth (12). The bottom panel (8) on an exterior surface is formed with projecting crescent shaped symmetrically disposed feet (66). The cap closure (14) includes a fitment (16) engageable around the mouth (12) and supported on the container body (4). A lid (18) is hingedly connected to the fitment (16) and defined by a roof panel (20) having a domed upper surface. The upper surface includes a pair of crescent shaped indents (24, 26) formed symmetrical to each other along opposite edges of the roof panel (20). The crescent shaped indents (24, 26) allow stacking of one jar upon another with good stability. The domed (curved) roof panel (20) distributes force (from stacked jars) more evenly along the cap closure (14).

Abstract: A device is provided for delivering a heated cosmetic flowable product. The device includes a base with a cavity housing a tube for receiving the flowable product, a heating system heatingly contacting the tube, and an outlet at a downstream end of the tube. A plastic bottle filled with the product is releasably mounted on the base. A fitment is arranged over an open end of the bottle and includes a slitted membrane. An upstream end of the tube penetrates the membrane to establish flowable communication and a sealing relationship. Product is dispensed from the outlet by applying an external squeeze pressure against a wall of the bottle. No mechanical assist is necessary such as a pump or gearing for transporting fluid product.

Abstract: A bottle is provided capable of fluid communication with a device for heating a cosmetic flowable product. The bottle includes a cavity for storage of the product, and has on an open end a neck mounted by a fitment. The fitment includes a slitted membrane which extends over a mouth of the neck. Walls of the cavity define curved front and rear panels.
