Abstract: Described are attachment devices coupleable to an animal crate having at least a portion of at least one wall formed from a mesh network having a plurality of openings. The attachment device comprising includes a base member and a spring-loaded crate attachment member coupled to the base member. The spring-loaded crate attachment member includes a first slider piece and a second slider piece. A first force is applicable to at least one of the first slider piece or the second slider piece to move the at least one of the first slider piece or the second slider piece to an insertion state. A spring force biases the at least one of the first slider piece or the second slider piece from the insertion state to an expanded state.

Abstract: An inflatable crate assembly includes a base panel, a rear panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, and a top panel, where: the base panel, the rear panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the top panel are all formed from a single piece of drop stitch material; an inner wall of the drop stitch material forms at least a portion of an interior surface of the inflatable crate assembly; and an outer wall of the drop stitch material forms at least a portion of an exterior surface of the inflatable crate assembly; and the inflatable crate also includes a drop stitch corner formed between each of the rear panel and the base panel, the first side panel and the base panel, the top panel and the first side panel, and the second side panel and the top panel.

Abstract: A measuring cup assembly with a light-pervious cup, a film at least partially disposed on the cup, the film defining a light-impervious region and a light-pervious region, the cup at least partly viewable through the light-pervious region, and at least one volume dispensing indicator that is part of the film light-impervious region and that traverses a light-pervious region to create a visual demarcation, each volume dispensing indicator indicating a volume of product that has been dispensed into the cup. Each light-pervious region is configured to provide visual detection of the at least one volume dispensing indicator, as well as the dispensed product, from a side of the measuring cup assembly.

Abstract: A closure that is constructed and arranged to be sealed to an opening in a flexible film pouch that has an interior. The closure includes a body that has a top, bottom, sides, front and back, wherein the body has a body through-channel with a bottom opening and a top opening, and wherein the body is elongated, such that its extent from front to back is greater than its extent from side to side. The closure has an upper member coupled to the top of the body, wherein the upper member has an upper member through-channel with a bottom opening and a top opening, where the upper member through-channel is contiguous with the body through-channel. The top of the body is bisected by a body longitudinal axis and has a latitudinal axis that bisects and is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, where a center of the body is defined by the intersection of the longitudinal and latitudinal axes. The upper member top opening (i.e., the outlet opening of the closure) is asymmetric about the center of the body.

Abstract: Various moisture retention seals are disclosed, in the contexts of canisters and corresponding closures forming packages for avoiding moisture evaporation and in retaining liquid or moisture contained in the packages.

Abstract: A dispensing cover for a container for moist towlettes, where the container has an open end and is constructed and arranged to hold a bulk supply of interconnected towlettes that are separable from each other by tearing along perforations. The dispensing cover has a lower portion that is constructed and arranged to be engaged with the open top of the container. The power portion defines a large opening. There are one or more dispensing structures projecting into the opening and having an anchored proximal end and a free distal end that is in the central opening to define a tapered slot that has a relatively wide opening and narrows to a pinch point wherein a towlette can be captured. There is a cap that is coupled to the lower portion and is adapted to be engaged with the lower portion to form a seal that inhibits loss of moisture.
