Abstract: A squeezable fiber-based bottle for storing and dispensing a viscous liquid. The bottle comprises a molded base including a liquid containing surface having an aperture for dispensing viscous liquid. The molded base includes a base perimeter having a perimeter surface with an upper edge and a lower edge. The squeezable fiber-based bottle comprises a fiber-based side wall having an upper edge, a lower edge, an inner surface, and an outer surface. The side wall includes a front, a back and two opposing side panels. At least one of the opposing side panels includes crease lines forming a flat portion. The fiber-based side wall is attached to the molded base forming an impermeable seal such that the lower edge of fiber-based side wall is disposed near the perimeter surface upper edge but not the perimeter surface lower edge. The impermeable seal is formed about the entire perimeter surface of the molded base.

Abstract: A squeezable fiber-based bottle for storing and dispensing a viscous liquid. The bottle comprises a pulp molded base and pulp side walls. The pulp molded base includes a liquid containing surface having an aperture for dispensing viscous liquid and a base perimeter having a perimeter surface with an upper edge and a lower edge. A base barrier is disposed on the liquid containing surface and the upper edge of the base perimeter. The fiber-based side wall has an upper edge, a lower edge, an inner surface, and an outer surface. The inner surface includes a fiber-based side wall barrier layer. The lower edge of the fiber-based side wall is attached to the pulp molded base forming an impermeable seal. The impermeable seal is formed about the entire perimeter surface of the pulp molded base near the perimeter surface upper edge but not the perimeter surface lower edge.

Abstract: A product dispenser with a reservoir for a product and a cap. The cap has a first assembly and a second assembly. The first assembly can include a button configured to dispense the product through a lower end orifice of the pipette, when the button is actuated. The second assembly can include a pipette rigidly connected and in fluidic communication with a chamber configured to change its volume depending on the movement of the first assembly relative to the second assembly and the movement of the button.

Abstract: A method and package for maintaining a design suspended in a liquid beauty product where the package has a bottle, an insert, and an overcap. The insert has a pierceable membrane that can be pierced by the dip tube of the pump after shipping and handling.

Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing a foamable product. The dispensing device comprises a dispensing channel (110; 210; 410). The dispensing channel has: an inlet (111; 211; 411) for communicating with a valve-element (120) of a container (130) containing the foamable product; and an outlet (112; 212; 412) for dispensing the foamable product. The dispensing channel (110; 210; 410) further comprises a variable-volume cavity (140; 240; 440) at the outlet. The variable-volume cavity (140; 240; 440) is defined at least partly by a first component (142; 242; 442) and a second component (144; 244; 444) that is separate from and rigidly movably with respect to the first component to vary the volume of the variable-volume cavity (140; 240; 440) between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the variable-volume cavity (140; 240; 440) has a first volume and the outlet (112; 212; 412) is closed.
