Abstract: A plug for removably resealing an aperture in a soft plastic dispensing conduit of a container of material. The plug includes a handle-like upper portion, and a conically tapering lower portion with contiguous scoring edges each having a leading and a trailing surface which form a sharp circumferential point. By firmly inserting the plug into the aperture and then screwing it in, one or several points score a segment of the conduit interior surface, proximate to the aperture, forming grooves. Meshing of edge points and grooves create an air-tight seal. The aperture, reopened by unscrewing the plug, can be repetitively resealed because the scoring edges track within the preformed grooves.

Abstract: A container for a liquid which is to be poured out of the container through an open neck, is internally provided with a buoyant stopper for the neck. The stopper is oriented, by uneven weight distribution, to float in a stop surface up, flexible tabs down orientation. In use, the container, after being opened, is slightly squeezed to elevate the stopper stop surface into sealing engagement with the neck. In this condition, the container is inverted and its open neck placed over the intended receiver, whereupon manual squeezing is relaxed, allowing the stopper to bob up towards the bottom of container. Inversion, while bobbing up desirably orients the stopper so that, as the stopper settles into the container shoulder or neck during emptying, it cannot undesirably replug the container neck. The stopper can be inserted into the container during the container manufacturing process, by flexing the tabs and forcing the stopper into the container through the neck, tab end first.
