Abstract: A pivotable disc closure actuator (10), a closure including the actuator and the closure combined with a bottle or other container. The actuator includes a closing surface (12) comprising a product dispensing opening at a front thereof, at least two pivots (18) on the closing surface, an extension panel (22) extending from a peripheral wall of the closing surface and having a locking and an unlocking position, the pivots being intermediate the product opening and the extension panel, and the extension panel having a latch member (24) extending inwardly toward the closing surface when the extension panel is in the locked position. The closure includes a closure base (32) which may in turn include a cutout or opening (40) in its outer wall. In its locked position the extension panel may rest on a surface of the cut out or outer wall to prevent the actuator from rotating from its closed position to an open position.

Abstract: An improved snap-on/twist off closure which is very durable. The invention is also directed to a package comprising the closure, e.g., a bottle in combination with the closure. The closure includes an upper wall defining an opening and a cylindrical snap on pipe depending from the upper wall. The pipe includes threads designed to mate with external threads on a neck of the bottle. The threads on the pipe and threads on the neck of the bottle pass over each other when the closure is snapped onto the bottle during manufacture. The pipe includes a resistance recess and a guidance recess.

Abstract: A discrete product refill container and a rigid outer shell container. The refill container includes a product chamber and a fitment secured thereto. The fitment includes a ledge which is suitable for resting on a ledge of the rigid outer shell container while permitting the product chamber to pass into the shell interiorly to the ledge. It may also include a rim for grasping by transfer equipment. The fitment includes a destructive cover, i.e., one which cannot readily be re-closed, so that the consumer can easily make the product within the refill available for pumping, as desired. The rigid outer shell container can be snap fit closed. The refill bottle may be a pouch or a thin walled bottle, with a fitment. The fitment may serve to support the bottle in an inverted position for display or storage. The refill bottle may also include an integral ledge for support in the rigid outer shell container, instead of a discrete fitment.

Abstract: Universal mounting products and systems are provided that may be advantageously mounted with respect to an item and, once mounted to such item, may be used to position the item in a desirable manner for subsequent use and/or access. The present systems advantageously include complementary mounting structures that are configured and dimensioned to interact therewith in positioning the item for subsequent use and/or access. In exemplary embodiments, the mounting system includes a hook member that is generally designed to interact with a mounting track that may be adhered to a desired structure, e.g., a wall, cabinet, door or the like. An auxiliary attachment hook may be provided which cooperates with the hook member. The hook member may define a substantially planar region to which may be adhered an adhesive member. The adhesive member may be secured to a container, vessel, box or other structure, which may then be mounted with respect to a mounting track.

Abstract: A support pole for raising and lowering a supported object between a lower position and an elevated position is disclosed. The support pole includes an elongate pole having a top, a bottom, and a channel extending at least partly between the top and bottom. A threaded rod is rotationally mounted within the channel, and is connected to a detachable coupling for engaging a drive tool to rotationally drive the threaded rod. A carriage engages the threaded rod, such that rotation of the rod imparts translational movement upon the carriage through the channel. The carriage includes a mounting bracket for attachment of the supported object thereto. A cable connecting the supported object and an external device or power source has a detachable coupling, and is carried along a pulley at the top of the elongate pole when the carriage is raised and lowered.
