Abstract: A container (210) for holding granular or powdered material and formed by a top wall (212), a bottom wall (214), a front wall (216), a rear wall (218), a first side wall (220), and a second side wall (222). A rotatably removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop (32) and is pivotally hinged to a collar (300) that includes a sealing gasket (330). The collar (300) mounts to the walls of the container (210). A sealing wall 240 of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket 300 to prevent the contents from spilling. The container (210) incorporates powder control features, a container wall junction (50) preferred geometry and congruent scoop (32) enabling convenient access to the contents, a tolerance variation accommodating and strength improving, J-shaped collar (300) and interlocking indentations (290) and flex clips (310), and a pressure controlling portion (350) that prevents unwanted deformation due to pressure differentials.

Abstract: A plastic container (10) having an upper portion (16) including a reclosable and resealable open top end (18), a base portion (24) closing off an end of the container, and an intermediate portion (22) being integrally formed with and exiting from the upper portion to the base portion. The intermediate portion includes by a plurality of horizontal ribs (42) arranged substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the container, at least one of the horizontal ribs being disposed longitudinally between an upper land and a lower land. The container has a volume capacity is 235 ml. or greater and a plastic weight of 20 g or less. At least one of the plurality of horizontal ribs has a horizontal rib depth (DR) of at least 4.5 mm and a horizontal rib width (WR) to horizontal rib depth ratio of between 2.2 to 2.7.

Abstract: A sealed container for packaging of granular or powdered product including a rigid container body defining an interior space and an upper portion, the upper portion having a sealing lip that defines an opening to the interior space, and a flexible, polymer sealing membrane removably attached to the sealing lip to cover the opening, the sealing membrane including a plurality of laser generated micro-perforations formed through the sealing membrane, the size of each of the plurality of laser generated micro-perforations being less than 3.937 mils.

Abstract: A container (100) for scoopable material including a container body (102) defining a reservoir to hold the scoopable material, a collar (106) attached to the container body, a lid (108) hingedly attached to the collar, and a leveler (114) extending from the underside of the lid.

Abstract: A bottle (10) with an open top (12), a closed bottom (16), and a longitudinal axis extending between the open top (12) and the closed bottom (16). The bottle (10) includes a neck (20) extending from the open top (12) toward the closed bottom (16), an elongated body (22) between the neck (20) and the closed bottom (16), and a base (24). A plurality of openings (60) are defined at least in part by the base (24). The plurality of openings (60) surround the elongated body (22).

Abstract: A container for holding granular or powdered material. The container includes walls, a collar, a lid and a latch. The walls define an interior space and an upper portion, the upper portion defining a sealing flange and an opening to the interior space. The collar is attached to the upper portion. The lid is attached to the collar for positioning between an open position and a closed position, and adapted to cover the opening while in the closed position. The latch is attached to an outer surface of the lid. The latch may have an actuator rotatable in two directions relative to the lid and detachably engaged to a catch which protrudes from an outside surface of the collar.

Abstract: A cap for use in enteral feeding from a container. The cap includes a base and an insert cutter. The base has a top surface, a bottom surface, and an outer ring. The top surface has a protruding port suitable for insertion of a spike connector. The protruding port defines a spike insertion chamber extending from a spike connector insert aperture to a spike connector outlet aperture. The outer ring is configured for attachment to a container having a mouth. The insert cutter has a first end portion attached to the bottom surface of the base and about an edge of the spike connector outlet aperture and a second end portion extending over at least a portion of the spike connector outlet aperture. The insert cutter is capable of flexing in an insertion direction of a spike connector inserted through the spike insertion chamber.

Abstract: A container for holding granular or powdered material. The container includes a base and a lid. The base defines an interior space and an opening to the interior space. The lid is removably attached to the base and adapted to cover the opening. Latches are attached to the outside surface of the lid on opposing sides of the lid. Inwardly extending lugs on the inside surface of the latch are correspondingly positioned to contact deflectors on the outside surface of the base during attachment of the lid to the base.

Abstract: A pod (10) for preparation of a nutritional liquid composition. The pod (10) includes a nutritional liquid concentrate (20) and at least one nozzle (12) or diffuser for fluid introduction to the nutritional liquid concentrate (20). The nutritional liquid concentrate (20) is hermetically sealed within the pod (10). The nozzle (12) is arranged to diffuse a flow of fluid in the pod (10) prior to contact with the nutritional liquid concentrate (20).
