  • Publication number: 20180016088
    Abstract: A composition container is described. The composition container includes a reservoir to hold a volume of the composition. The container also includes a dispensing device to dispense the composition from the reservoir onto an application surface.

  • Patent number: 7959034
    Abstract: An improved dispensing package for liquids is described comprising a combination pouring spout fitment, a closure that functions as a measuring cup when removed and inverted, and a bottle. The improved liquid seal between the closure and the fitment is made possible through mismatched bevels on the closure and fitment respectively wherein the sharper angled bevel on one of the parts buries into the wider angled bevel of the other part. The applied torque is prevented from loosening prematurely through a thread configuration form that allows the closure to seat securely into the spout fitment with the closure threads pushing back up against the bottom surfaces of the fitment threads in a “locked” arrangement. The correct alignment of the fitment on the bottle is made possible through the coordination of a thread stop on the fitment and corresponding locking lug on the neck of the bottle.

  • Patent number: 6616334
    Abstract: There is provided a resealable flap or label adapted to be placed in sealing engagement with an orifice of a flexible container. The resealable flap comprises a body having an interior portion and a pair of indented side edges. The flap has at least one hook cut extending from one of the pair of side edges to the interior portion. The body has an adhesive portion that removable connects the body over the orifice. The resealable flap or label has perforations for the at least one hook cut, which allows application of the flap by a blow on type applicator.
