  • Publication number: 20240058557
    Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is provided an electronic smoking device comprising a flow channel and an atomizer. The flow channel can comprise an incoming airflow opening, an incoming airflow pathway, a sensor assembly, and an outgoing airflow opening. The atomizer can be fluidly coupled to the flow channel. The flow channel can be configured to direct an airflow from the incoming airflow opening, through the incoming airflow pathway, over the sensor assembly, and through the outgoing airflow opening. The electronic smoking device can further be configured to pass the airflow over the atomizer.

  • Publication number: 20220024653
    Abstract: A container package includes a container and a lock-on closure that couples to the container. The container includes an annular sidewall. The closure includes a channel portion having an inner, an outer, and a top wall that define a channel. The inner wall includes a primary seal having sealing ridges formed thereon. The closure further includes a single, flexible sealing wiper appendage extending away from the top wall. When the sidewall of the container is outside of the channel, the appendage is in a first position in which it extends downwardly and is angled inwardly so a terminal end of the appendage is freely suspended within the channel. When the sidewall of the container is in the channel, the appendage is in a second position in which the terminal end is closer to the inner wall than in the first position and the appendage contacts the top rim.

  • Publication number: 20190283937
    Abstract: A molded plastic closure is configured to provide a plug fit with the top rim of an open top container having an outwardly protruding rim flange. A two-part seal preventing leakage of fluid from the container is provided by means of a ridge structure on the inner wall of the inverted U-shaped channel of the closure peripheral structure as well as a flexible sealing wiper appendage which is formed integrally with the top of the inverted U-shaped structure and which deformingly contacts the top surface of the container rim when the rim is essentially fully inserted into the U-shaped channel. The wiper appendage is formed to angle toward the inner channel wall in the undeflected condition.
