  • Publication number: 20150021344
    Abstract: A sectional liquid dispensing (lotions, creams, soaps, cleansers, etc.) container that includes a finger actuated pump assembly which extends a dip tube near the bottom of a container. The container has three individual components to form the complete assembly. The upper section of container has been designed to contain a tamper evident closure member; mold incorporated at its lower most edge. The lower section (base); containing a closure member mold incorporated onto its top edge, is designed to snap fit into upper section of container. The lower section is approximately one third the height of container or less. The lid cover snaps onto the bottom surface of the lower section, using the tamper evident closure member. The usage of these closures provide frangible edges for easy removal of locking tear bands; which allow for separation of components, while also providing evidence of any product tampering.

  • Patent number: 8857636
    Abstract: A sectional liquid dispensing container for lotions, creams, cleansers, etc. that includes a finger actuated pump assembly and an extending dip tube. The container has three individual sections; the upper section of container contains a tamper evident closure member at its lower most edge. The lower section (base) contains a closure member incorporated onto its top edge and designed to snap fit into upper section. A lid cover snaps onto the bottom surface of the lower section using a tamper evident closure member design. The usage of perimeter closure members provide for easy removal of locking tear-off bands that allows for separation of each section and provides access to remaining container contents. The container provides for dual dispensing (two individual products) from one container when the upper section has been modified into a separate enclosure. Two finger actuated pump assemblies may be used for dispensing various compatible products.
