  • Publication number: 20240391662
    Abstract: A safety cap assembly including an over cap and a screw cap secured within the over cap. The over cap having a plurality of spaced downward lugs extending downward from the top wall of the over cap and the screw cap having a plurality of spaced upward lugs extending from the upper wall of the screw cap which correspond with the downward lugs in the over cap. The over cap has a plurality of spaced air passages passing through the top wall of the over cap. The screw cap has a side wall with internal threads and an air passageway that extends through the side wall and does not interfere with the internal threads. The air passageway in the screw cap is in fluid communication with the plurality of air passages in the over cap such that should the safety cap assembly be swallowed suffocation is prevented.

  • Patent number: 10835012
    Abstract: A cosmetic container includes a base member having a base member housing with an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a cavity. The cosmetic container also includes a cap member shaped and dimensioned for selectively coupling to the base member; and a threaded cap engagement member shaped and dimensioned for securing to an interior surface of the cap member. The threaded cap engagement member is substantially annular in shape and includes an exterior surface formed with a series of grooves and an interior surface formed with internal projections defining internal threading of the cap member when the threaded cap engagement member is secured to the interior surface of the cap member.

  • Patent number: 10799007
    Abstract: A container for dispensing a cosmetic product includes a first container member and a second container member shaped and dimensioned for coupling together so as to define a cavity therebetween for storing the cosmetic product. A molding capsule is positioned within the cavity between the first container member and the second container member. The molding capsule includes a base structure coupled to the interior surface of the first container member, the base structure having an aperture through which the cosmetic product is fed. The molding capsule also including a forming cup coupled to the interior surface of the second container member, the forming cup having an interior surface which defines the shape of a cosmetic product. The base structure and the forming cup define a molding cavity in which the cosmetic product is stored.

  • Patent number: 9924776
    Abstract: A container for dispensing a cosmetic product includes a first container member and a second container member shaped and dimensioned for coupling together so as to define a cavity therebetween for storing a cosmetic product. The first container member includes an exterior surface and an interior surface. The first container member further includes an apex having an aperture formed therein and an open end opposite the apex, the open end defining a circumferential free edge that is opposite the aperture. A plurality of ribs radially extend from the interior surface of the first container member toward a central axis running through a center of the aperture such that the plurality of ribs define an elongated passageway extending on the central axis. Each of the plurality of ribs includes an edge attached to the interior surface, a free edge and a supporting edge shaped and dimensioned for supporting cosmetic product above the supporting edge after cosmetic product is gravity fed through the passageway.

  • Patent number: 9642739
    Abstract: A method of forming a user conformable dental guard includes obtaining a storage case with a handle, and inserting a dental guard and an impression tray in which the dental guard is positioned into the storage case. The method includes filling the storage case with water and placing the storage case and its contents into a microwave oven. The storage case and its contents are then subjected to microwave energy for a period of time sufficient to soften the dental guard. The method includes removing the storage case from the microwave over, flushing the storage case with water to slightly cool the dental guard, removing the dental guard and impression tray from the storage case and inserting the dental guard and impression tray into the user's mouth. The dental guard is molded by application of force by the user's teeth.
