Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a unit measure of a product includes a twist-locking mechanism. The twist-locking mechanism included on the dispenser engages a twist-locking mechanism on a dispensing accessory device, locking the accessory device to the dispenser. The disposable dispenser may include a cap frangibly coupled to the housing of the dispenser, the cap to be removed when dispensing the product. The disposable dispenser may be formed of a single material that is suitable for a blow-fill-seal process.

Abstract: A disposable oral care implement that provides various oral care functions in a compact form is disclosed therein. The disposable oral care implement includes a body, a polishing block attached to a first end of the body, and one or more oral care tools coupled to a second end of the body. The one or more oral care tools may include a tongue scrapper, an inter-dental pick, a brush, a floss holder, and/or a gum stimulator. The body of the disposable oral care implement may be formed by injection molding. The oral care tool may be formed on the second end of the body by over-molding while the polishing block may be attached to the first end of the body by way of press-fit.

Abstract: A multi-chambered container for storing and dispensing flowable substances and method for using the same. The container includes a plurality of individual chambers each containing a flowable substance. Each chamber is in fluid communication with a discharge valve assembly. The valve assembly selectively dispenses a single one of the flowable substances in response to one of the chambers being pressed or squeezed by a user without simultaneously dispensing the remaining substances. In preferred embodiments, the container includes at least two, and more preferably three or more chambers.

Abstract: A child resistant dispenser that is child resistant without assistance from secondary child resistant packaging. The child resistant dispenser includes a locking mechanism disposed between a cap and a housing and the cap is frangibly coupled to the housing. The child resistant dispenser may be formed of a single material that is suitable for a blow-fill-seal process.

Abstract: A disposable dual chamber dispenser that contains separate products until a time of use. The disposable dual chamber dispenser includes an outer dispenser encapsulating an inner dispenser, where the outer dispenser is compliant and the inner dispenser is substantially less compliant than the outer dispenser and configured to break at a failure zone. The outer dispenser may be formed of a single material that is suitable for a blow-fill-seal process and the inner dispenser may be formed of another single material, different than the single material forming the outer dispenser, that is also suitable for a blow-fill-seal process.

Abstract: A disposable applicator assembly includes a handle of a diameter substantially larger than the diameter of an applicator stick. The applicator assembly includes a casing, the applicator stick, and an applicator (e.g., a swab). A support structure is disposed within the casing and engages the applicator stick. A product may be housed in the casing for delivery by the applicator. The applicator assembly may be formed of a single material that is suitable for an injection molding process.

Abstract: A system for patching a destination surface to match an existing texture pattern. The system comprises texture material, a tube member, and a sponge member. The texture material comprises a base, a carrier, and particulate material. The tube member contains the texture material and defines a container opening through which the texture material may flow. The sponge member defines an applicator surface and a sponge opening. The sponge member is secured relative to the tube member, and the texture material is forced out of the tube member through the container opening and the sponge opening and onto the applicator surface. The applicator surface of the sponge member is brought into contact with the destination surface to transfer texture material on the applicator surface to the destination surface.
