Abstract: A fountain-style carbonated soft drink dispenser includes a housing adapted to attach to a beverage container, an actuator for selectively opening a fluid conduit, and one or more long tubes that vary a pressure drop across the dispensing assembly and convey fluid. The resistance through the tube(s) is decreased as the pressure within the container decreases so as to maintain a substantially constant flow rate throughout dispensing.

Abstract: A multi-compartment dispensing container includes multiple cells arranged around an axis. A common lid is provided. The cells each have an outlet port arranged substantially at the bottom, and each of these cells is isolated, one from the other, so that a substance can be in each cell independently of the other.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aerosol can containing a two-component paint with an aerosol preparation, in particular for use in the automotive industry and for automotive repairs. Said aerosol can contains a binding agent component and a curing component. The binding agent component contains a curable epoxy parent component, solvents and a propellant and the curing component contains a cross-linking agent, which is suitable for curing the epoxy binding agent. The curing component is housed separately from the binding agent component in a cross-linking casing, which is located in the aerosol paint can and can be activated externally.
Abstract: A container assembly for storing and dispensing food items and beverages having a vessel and a removable lid. The vessel defines a longitudinal axis and has a first tongue and groove member. The removable lid has a lid aperture for accessing an interior of the vessel, and a complementary mating second tongue and groove member that is rotatable with the lid about the longitudinal axis and relative to the first tongue and groove member of the vessel between a lid secured configuration and a lid releasing configuration. In the lid secured configuration, the tongue and groove members fully engage one another, preventing longitudinal movement of the lid member relative to the vessel. In the lid releasing configuration, the tongue and groove members are configured so as to permit longitudinal movement of the lid member relative to the vessel, and such that the lid member is removable from the vessel.
Abstract: A packaging container (1) with at least one partition for uptake of pourable products, which has one opening (9) which can be aligned with an opening (16) in a cover member (3). A sealing strip (4) is also applied onto a label (5) which is applied onto an actual container (2) and onto a cover member (3) such that it prevents movement of a container (2) and a cover member (3) in relation to each other and also hygienically covers an opening (16) in a cover member (3).
