Abstract: A case for a dental treatment device includes a bottom panel having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the bottom panel defines a first concave portion that corresponds to a shape of a bottom of the dental treatment device. The first concave portion forms a corresponding first convex portion of the outer surface of the bottom panel. The case also includes a top panel having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the top panel defines a second concave portion that corresponds to a shape of a top of the dental treatment device. The second convex portion forms a corresponding second convex portion of the outer surface of the top panel.

Abstract: Provided is a method for making barrier tube shoulders. The method includes forming a parison from a multi-layer laminated structure having an inner layer that faces an interior of the parison, an outer layer comprising an exterior surface of the parison, and an interdisposed layer between the inner layer and the outer layer, wherein the interdisposed layer is a flavor barrier layer. The method also includes providing an extrusion blow molding (EBM) mold comprising at least one cavity shaped as a barrier tube shoulder, positioning the parison in the EBM mold, and blow molding the parison such that the parison substantially conforms to the EBM mold to form a barrier tube shoulder having the barrier layer.

Abstract: A fluid dispenser for dispensing a fluid and a method for dispensing a fluid such as a mouthwash may include a container having an internal reservoir for containing a volume of the fluid and a fluid pump connected to the container. The fluid pump may include a head, a spout, a stem, and a collar. The collar may attach the fluid pump to the container. The fluid dispenser may further include a container holder having a stem support that defines a slot that receives the stem of the fluid pump, a base, and an attachment member extending from the stem support toward the base. Various fluid dispenser designs, implementations, and uses are discussed.

Abstract: A dispenser includes a body defining an internal volume and an opening that provides a path of fluid communication between the internal volume and an exterior of the body. A first tubular member extends through the opening. A length of the first tubular member is greater than or equal to about 150% of a height of the body. In response to squeezing the body, a composition in the internal volume flows out of the body through the opening and into the first tubular member.

Abstract: A dispenser includes a spiral-shaped body having a first end and a second end. The body defines an internal volume and an opening that provides a path of fluid communication between the internal volume and an exterior of the body. A composition is in the internal volume.

Abstract: A dispenser includes a body having a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion of the body is substantially dome-shaped. The lower portion of the body has a first density. The upper portion of the body defines an internal volume. The internal volume is configured to receive a composition that has a second density that is less than the first density.

Abstract: A tube or other container for storing and dispensing a product such as toothpaste, a lotion, a cream, etc., includes one or more recesses. Initially, each recess (30) is in a concave position relative to an exterior of the sealed tube. Due to outgassing or other factors, pressure within an interior of the sealed tube may increase. During the pressure increase, the one or more recesses (30) deflect from the initial concave position toward a convex position relative to the exterior of the tube, thereby effectively increasing a volume of the interior of the tube and maintaining pressure within the tube at a more desirable level.

Abstract: A tube or other container for storing and dispensing a product such as toothpaste, a lotion, a cream, etc., includes one or more creases. Initially, each crease can be in a contracted position, where the tube has a first volume when the crease is in the contracted position. Due to outgassing of the product and/or other factors, pressure may increase within the sealed tube. In response to the pressure increase, the one or more creases can deflect from the contracted position to an expanded position, where the tube has a second, increased volume when the crease is in the expanded position. Deflection of the one or more creases effectively increases the volume of the interior of the tube, and maintains pressure within the tube at a desirable level.

Abstract: A bottle for dispensing oral care fluid is provided. The bottle can include a body portion comprising a mouth, side surfaces, and a bottom surface arranged to hold a volume of oral care fluid; and a cap arranged to be secured to the mouth, wherein the cap comprises a integral cup sized to hold a portion of the volume of oral care fluid, wherein the integral cup includes an open end that mates with the mouth and a closed end including a flip-top member arranged at a distal end of the cap.
