Abstract: A dosing bottle closure (24) has a body (26) and a lid (27). The body (26) has: a sidewall (50) extending from a lower rim (54) to an upper rim (62); and means (58) along the sidewall (50) for engaging a container body (22). The lid (27) is hinged relative to the body for articulation between a closed condition and an open condition. The body defines an internal upwardly open chamber (25) at least partially covered by the lid in the closed condition. The body defines a feed passageway (100) having an outlet (110) to the chamber (25) and spaced above a bottom (72) of the chamber and defines a vent conduit (300).

Abstract: A chamber body is mounted to the bottle body and has an opening and partially bounds a first chamber and a second chamber. A selector is mounted to the chamber body for relative rotation between a first dosing condition and a second dosing condition. In the first dosing condition: flow is not blocked from the first chamber out the opening; flow is blocked from the second chamber out the opening; flow is blocked from the bottle interior to the first chamber; and flow is not blocked from the bottle interior to the second chamber. In the second dosing condition: flow is blocked from the first chamber out the opening; flow is not blocked from the second chamber out the opening; flow is not blocked from the bottle interior to the first chamber; and flow is blocked from the bottle interior to the second chamber.

Abstract: A chamber member is mounted to the bottle body and has an opening and partially bounds a first chamber and a second chamber. A selector is mounted to the chamber body for relative rotation between a first dosing condition and a second dosing condition. In the first dosing condition: flow is not blocked from the first chamber out the opening; flow is blocked from the second chamber out the opening; flow is blocked from the bottle interior to the first chamber; and flow is not blocked from the bottle interior to the second chamber. In the second dosing condition: flow is blocked from the first chamber out the opening; flow is not blocked from the second chamber out the opening; flow is not blocked from the bottle interior to the first chamber; and flow is blocked from the bottle interior to the second chamber.

Abstract: A product dispenser includes a housing defining an inner space for a product; a piston member movably disposed in the inner space for dispensing product from the inner space; a ram slidably associated with the housing for driving the piston in the inner space, and movable relative to the housing between an active position wherein the ram is aligned with the piston for dispensing product, and a neutral position wherein the ram is not aligned with the piston whereby the ram in the neutral position is slidable relative to the housing without dispensing product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved drinking cup. The drinking cup includes a bottom portion and a sidewall portion integrally formed therewith. The sidewall portion defines a liquid holding cavity and has an upper peripheral edge which defines an opening through which a liquid can be placed within and withdrawn from the liquid holding cavity. The drinking cup further includes a laterally extending handle attached to the sidewall portion. The handle has an upper thumb rest portion including a raised portion for preventing a user's thumb from contacting the sidewall portion and inadvertently dislodging a lid placed over the opening. A lid for cooperating with the cup is also disclosed.

Abstract: A dispenser-applicator having an elevator for advancing product disposed within a housing having opposed, through sidewall slots. The slots are formed with ratchets and the elevator is actuated by a driver extending through and guided by said slots. The driver is formed with pawls which engage the ratchets so that the elevator can be indexed manually in step by step fashion.

Abstract: A product dispenser includes a housing defining an inner space for a product; a piston movably disposed in the inner space for dispensing product from the inner space; a ram slidably mounted to the housing for driving the piston in the inner space, and rotatable relative to the housing between an active position wherein the ram is aligned with the piston for dispensing product, and a neutral position wherein the ram is not aligned with the piston whereby the ram in the neutral position is slidable relative to the housing without dispensing product.

Abstract: A product dispenser includes a cartridge containing a product; a housing having a base member and a cartridge receiving member movably mounted to the base member between a shipping position wherein the cartridge receiving member is substantially extended from the base member, and a use position wherein the cartridge receiving member is at least partially retracted relative to the base member from the shipping position, the cartridge receiving member having a sidewall defining an interior space for receiving the cartridge; an access defined by the sidewall for installing and removing the cartridge in the interior space; structure associated with the housing for dispensing the product from the cartridge; and structure for resisting dispensing motion of the cartridge receiving member relative to the base member from the shipping position toward the use position.

Abstract: A product dispenser, comprising a cartridge containing a product; a housing having a base portion and a cartridge receiving portion movably mounted to said base portion, said cartridge receiving portion having a sidewall defining an interior space for receiving said cartridge; access means defined by said sidewall for installing and removing said cartridge in said interior space; and means associated with said housing for dispensing said product from said cartridge.

Abstract: A product dispenser includes a cartridge containing a product; a housing having a sidewall defining an interior space for receiving the cartridge; an access cutout formed in the sidewall for installing and removing the cartridge in the interior space; and a ram and plunger structure associated with the housing for dispensing the product from the cartridge.

Abstract: A multi-wavelength optical filter for a portabe gas analyzer includes a filter assembly having a first opening and multiple additional openings. The first opening has a linearly variable filter disposed therein, while the additional openings have discrete filters disposed therein. The filters are linearly aligned, such that filter selection is facilitated by using the filter assembly with a linear positioning mechanism.
