  • Publication number: 20060110584
    Abstract: A treated foil wrapping includes a foil sheet treated with at least one surface agent selected from, for example, a deodorant surface agent, a scented surface agent, and an antimicrobial surface agent. The surface of the foil sheet may be prepared to receive the surface agent. The surface agent may be applied directly to the foil sheet alone or in combination with other chemical compounds. Alternatively, the optional treatments may be applied to a ply that is laminated to the foil sheet. The treated foil sheet may be physically or chemically sealed.

  • Patent number: 6474506
    Abstract: A dispensing container includes container walls formed from a stiff deformable material to define a shell enclosing a chamber. A small dispensing opening provides access to the chamber. Optionally, the container has a separate fill opening. A protective cap covers the dispensing opening. Optionally, the cap forms an air pocket over the dispensing opening. In use, the cap is ruptured by tearing the cap or by applying pressure to the cap to burst the air pocket. The container may additionally include a thin film between the cap and the dispensing opening to prevent leakage when the cap is ruptured. The thin film is ruptured by applying pressure to the container contents by squeezing the container. Alternatively, a tooth is disposed between the cap and the film such that displacement of the cap causes the tooth to rupture the film.
