Abstract: A contact lens case includes first and second containers each including a wall having an inner surface defining a interior well for receiving first and second lens of a pair of contact lenses. The exterior of the first container is configured differently from the exterior of the second container to provide for both visual and tactile differentiation between the first and second containers. Each of the containers includes a visual indicator on the inner surface of the wall of the container. The visual indicators of the first and second containers differ from each other to provide for visual differentiation between the interior wells of the first and second containers.

Abstract: The present invention is a top for a dispensing container. The top includes a base, a nozzle portion extending from a first end of the base, and a tab integrally formed with the nozzle portion at a neck down portion. The nozzle portion has an outer wall defining an internal conduit for passage of a liquid, powder and/or gel. The tab includes a tip end sealing the internal conduit and at least one shock absorbing portion. When the tab is twisted, the tip end is removed from the nozzle portion at the neck down portion, thereby opening the internal conduit. The shock absorbing portion can include a slot, an area with reduced thickness, a flex area, or a combination thereof. The top can be included on a container for storing liquids, powders and/or gels.

Abstract: A container closure includes a base with a valve mount portion formed from a first thermoplastic material and a valve formed from a second thermoplastic material. The valve is bonded to the valve mount portion. A lid is hingeably attached to the base and includes a sealing rim extending from a surface of the lid and designed to engage the valve at the location where the valve seals to the valve mount portion. The engagement of the sealing rim with the valve forming a seal between the two components.

Abstract: A container closure includes an adapter formed from a first thermoplastic material and a valve formed from a second thermoplastic material. The adapter and valve are bonded together in a multi-material molding process to form an adapter and valve assembly. The adapter and valve assembly is directly fastened to a base to form the closure.

Abstract: A vented closure is provided for a container having a raised lip proximal to an upper end thereof. The closure includes a top preferably having two locking levers connected to the top with an elastically deformable hinge. The locking levers operate to releasably secure the closure to the container. The top includes a first portion and a second portion. The closure also includes a skirt. The first portion is centrally positioned in the top and the second portion is connected to the skirt. One or more vent holes are provided in the first portion. The first portion defines a first plane and the second portion defines a second plane. The first plane is displaced from the second plane.

Abstract: A closure for a container for holding contents therein generally comprises a surface for gripping the closure in order to twist it in either direction to open it. The closure has downwardly projecting teeth on its underside; the container has upwardly projecting teeth, which mate with the downwardly projecting teeth of the closure. An outer ring on the closure circumscribes and holds in place the upper lip of the container in the closed position. Twisting of the closure in either direction causes the closure to be released from the container.
