Abstract: A display package which is formed of a pair of serving packages each including a bowl-like container with a removable cover. The covers are interlocked with the containers and require outward radial expansion for removal. The serving packages are arranged with the covers in face-to-face engagement and are joined together by a circumferential band shrunk in place and interlocked behind the covers. A separately formed hook of the bent wire type has a loop receiving the band and serves as hanging means for the package.

Abstract: A dispensing type container wherein a fluid product is dispensed under pressure from the container in the absence of special charging gases such as Freon and the like which are customarily utilized and which have been found to be objectionable. The container is charged with air under pressure from the atmosphere and includes a built-in cylinder which is associated with a separately formed and mounted piston. When the container is to be charged for dispensing the product, it is merely placed on the piston and reciprocated several times to pump air thereinto under pressure. The piston is reusable.

Abstract: A combined charging and product dispensing unit is provided for reception in the mouth of a container in sealed relation with the unit, including a valve body having a container of liquid gas carried thereby. The valve body is provided with a valve assembly for manually controlling the flow of gas under pressure out through the valve body into the container to pressurize the interior of the container. The unit also includes a discharge tube which is connected to a discharge nozzle carried by an actuator for the valve unit.

Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing the contents of dispensers of the can type. The dispensing device includes a housing which is snapped into engagement with a container upper chime. The housing has a flexible bag therein which is deformable by way of a pivotally mounted lever so that the bag volume may be varied to sequentially draw a product from a container thereinto through a tube and to dispense that product under pressure by way of a valve controlled nozzle.

Abstract: An integrated double serving package with hanger wherein a pair of bowl-like containers having removable covers are held together in a display package by a retaining sleeve which is of a polygonal cross section and including flat panels having notches therein receiving the projections of the containers and covers. The sleeve has end portions secured together by a projecting hanger portion whereby the package may be readily hung from a hook or the like for display purposes.

Abstract: A dispensing unit which may be readily incorporated in an enclosure, such as a conventional can. The dispensing unit includes a readily collapsible bag in which a product to be dispensed is stored, and a plurality of spring strips. Each of the spring strips is of a construction to inherently roll into a coiled form and constantly urging the collapsing of the container. When the container is incorporated in an enclosure of the general can type including an upper end unit secured to a body by a seam, upper end portions of the spring strips may be anchored within the seam.

Abstract: A reusable carrier for cans which comprises a thin sheet of resilient plastics material with can-receiving frusto-conical openings having wide bottom ends and narrow upper ends permitting machine application of the carrier onto the cans by a single press-on operation.

Abstract: A dispensing unit mountable on a can and like container for dispensing a liquid contents therefrom. The dispensing unit includes a resilient tube which is passed into the can and has a portion seated on the end wall of the can and terminates in a nozzle. A pumping unit is mounted in overlying relation to the tube portion lying on the end wall and is operable progressively and intermittently to apply pressure against the tube portion to collapse the same in a pumping action. The dispensing unit is battery powered electric motor driven and may include a detachable supporting base carrying a battery charger.

Abstract: A can carrier which is reusable and is injection molded of plastics material, the can carrier being in the form of a sheet having projecting from opposite surfaces thereof circumferentially spaced arcuate flange segments, each flange segment defining a socket receiving the double seam or chime of a can and interlocking the same with the can carrier. The flange arrangement on opposite sides of the sheet being in alignment with the flange segments on each side of the sheet being aligned with the spaces between flange segments on the opposite sides of the sheet.

Abstract: This relates to a reusable can carrier in the form of a molded plastics material strip having formed on the underside thereof a plurality of pairs of concentrically arranged arcuate flanges, each pair of flanges defining a socket receiving a cylindrical end portion of a can and interlocking beneath the customary seam securing the end unit to the body.
