    Abstract: A refillable cosmetic container system includes an outer container that can be closed by an optional lid, and an inner cosmetic holding canister that can be removably mounted within the container. A coupling system can be implemented to allow the outer container and the inner canister to be selectively coupled to each other, such as a lug-and-groove interface, latch and catch interface, etc. The coupling system may be configured such that rotation of the inner canister relative to the outer container causes the coupling/decoupling (e.g., locking/unlocking) between the outer container and the inner canister. To aid in selective coupling (e.g., coupling and decoupling) of the inner canister with respect to the outer container, a handle is provided on the inner container. A locking feature may be provided between the handle and the outer container which ensures that the inner canister does not prematurely or unnecessarily dislodge from the outer container.

    Abstract: An oral care implement with fluid dispensing system includes a head, handle, and intermediate neck. The head comprises plural tooth cleaning elements. A reservoir containing oral care fluid is fluidly coupled to an elastomeric valve nested between a pair of longitudinally spaced protective lamellas on the head. A depressible actuator button operates to dispense the oral care fluid from the reservoir through the valve to the tooth cleaning elements. The protective lamellas formed of elastomeric material are foldable to alternating cover the valve to prevent ingress of external fluids in the oral cavity of the user into the valve to minimize fouling of the fluid dispensing system. Laterally open areas between the lamella allow the oral care fluid to migrate outwards to the tooth cleaning elements. To control the dosage of oral care fluid dispensed, a modular system comprising interchangeable spacer inserts is usable to change and customize the dosage.

    Abstract: An acoustically transparent pillow for use with a furniture assembly where one or more speakers are embedded in the armrest(s) or other components of the furniture system. The pillow can be positioned (e.g., for decoration or comfort) over the armrest speaker, with minimal effect to the sound emitted from said speaker, even where the pillow is positioned over where sound is emitted from the speaker. Pillows may similarly be positioned in other locations relative to other speakers embedded in the furniture system, providing desired decorative esthetics or comfort, while providing minimal interference with the sound from the speaker system embedded in the furniture assembly. Such a pillow may include a fabric envelope and a fill material, where at least portions of the fabric envelope and the fill material comprise acoustically transparent materials (e.g., acoustically transparent fabric, and acoustically transparent fill material, such as a highly porous, reticulated foam).
