  • Publication number: 20230406605
    Abstract: An overcap assembly includes an actuating button attached to and surrounded by the body. The actuating button has a fluid passageway therein, and the fluid passageway is configured to receive a fluid when the actuating button is depressed. The overcap assembly further includes a first nozzle and a second nozzle. The first nozzle extends from the actuating button and is in fluid communication with the fluid passageway. The first nozzle includes a first exit aperture. The second nozzle extends from the actuating button and is positioned below the first nozzle. The second nozzle is in fluid communication with the fluid passageway. The second nozzle includes a second exit aperture angled differently than the first exit aperture. The first nozzle and the second nozzle each comprise an inner cylindrical wall and an outer cylindrical wall surrounding and spaced apart from the inner cylindrical wall.

  • Patent number: 11820583
    Abstract: An overcap assembly configured to attach to a container. The overcap assembly includes a body, an actuator, a first nozzle, and a second nozzle. The actuator is integrally attached with the body and defines a longitudinal axis. The actuator further comprises a fluid passageway that extends therein. The first nozzle and the second nozzle extend laterally from the actuator, and the first nozzle and the second nozzle define a portion of the fluid passageway. The first nozzle comprises a first angled exit aperture and the second nozzle comprises a second angled exit aperture. The first nozzle and the second nozzle each comprises an inner cylindrical wall and an outer cylindrical wall surrounding and spaced apart from the inner cylindrical wall. The first angled exit aperture and the second angled exit aperture are non-parallel to the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 10583961
    Abstract: A container system includes a first container including a bottom wall, at least one sidewall, and an open top, with a plurality of indented recesses formed in the bottom wall. A first lid closes the open top of the first container. A second container includes a bottom wall, at least one sidewall, and an open top. A second lid closes the open top of the second container, with a push indicator structure formed at a center portion of the second lid, and with a plurality of registration bumps formed about the push indicator structure. The first container is stackable on the second lid such that (i) each of the registration bumps in the second lid is aligned with an adjacent one of the recesses in the bottom wall of the first container and (ii) surfaces of the registration bumps are spaced from surfaces of the adjacent recesses.
