Dispenser for unit dose articles

A container for a plurality of articles comprising a main body, a hollow member fixedly coupled to an end of the main body, a cup member rotatably coupled to the hollow member, and a cam arm received within the hollow member and the cup member. The hollow member and the cup member define a dispensing opening. The cup member comprises a base portion defining a grooved track facing the end of the main body. The cam arm is configured to engage a bottom article from the plurality of articles and comprises a protrusion movably engaged with the grooved track. The cam arm moves relative to the hollow member, due to a relative rotation between the hollow member and the cup member, to a dispensing position in which the bottom article at least partially extends through the dispensing opening and is removable from the container.

Container

A faucet-mounted filter system includes a body forming a fluid chamber having a water inlet, a quick connect device positioned adjacent the water inlet for mounting the filter system to a water faucet, a filtered water flow path disposed within the body and in fluid communication with the water inlet, an unfiltered water flow path disposed within the body and in fluid communication with the water inlet, a diverter valve disposed within the fluid chamber and operable to open and close the filtered and unfiltered water flow paths, a seal, an actuator engaging the diverter valve to open and close the filtered and unfiltered water flow paths, a flow meter connected to the body and in fluid communication with the filter flow path, a filter housing connected to the body and having a reservoir, and a filter cartridge disposed within the reservoir.

Apparatus and methods for faucet-mounted water filtration systems

The present invention relates to a closure for a container, the closure comprising three positions. The invention further relates to a kit of parts for assembling such a closure. The present invention relates to a closure comprising an engine and a shroud, the closure adapted to attach to the opening of a container to define an interior and an outside;

Closure for a container comprising three positions

The present invention relates to a closure for a container, the closure having an asymmetrical protrusion. The invention further relates to a kit of parts for assembling such a closure. The present invention relates to a closure for a container, the closure comprising an engine having a first track and a shroud having a second track,

Closure for a container having an asymmetrical protrusion

The present invention is directed to a closure for an outlet opening of a container comprising a first component which snaps onto an outlet opening and provides a seal for an outlet opening said first component snaps with a second component of said closure; wherein the first component comprises one or more rails to enable stability of the assembly and defines the direction of movement of the second component relative to the first component; a second component comprising a dispensing orifice of said second component, said second component, snaps with said first component; wherein the second component comprises ribs which engage the rail(s) of said first component; a dispensing orifice positioned directly adjacent to the open portion of the container body; wherein one or more directions of the movement of the second component relative to the first component are independently controlled by rails and ribs.

Closure for a container

A container system includes a tub including a front wall, a back wall opposite the front wall and side walls extending between the front wall and the back wall. A bottom extends between the front wall, back wall and side walls. A mouth structure includes a fastening feature configured for connecting to a lid. The mouth structure has an opening therethrough that provides access to a containing volume of the tub. A shoulder extends inwardly from the side walls to the mouth structure. A plurality of unitized doses of a detergent composition is located within the containing volume of the tub. A lid is connected to tub using the fastening feature. The lid has an open position for allowing user access to the containing volume and a closed position for preventing user access to the containing volume.

Container systems with lids for unit dose detergent compositions

The invention relates to a dispensing apparatus for containing a pressurized composition. The dispensing apparatus comprises a reservoir for containing the composition, a flow conduit in fluid communication with the reservoir having a distal end forming a flow conduit orifice; and a displaceable actuator head comprising a side wall having an interior surface and a dispensing orifice formed through the side wall. An intermediate member having an aperture extending there through is interposed between the interior surface of the displaceable actuator head and the distal end of the flow conduit. The intermediate member is affixed to either the interior surface of the actuator head aligning the aperture with the dispensing orifice or to the distal end of the flow conduit aligning the aperture with the flow conduit orifice. The intermediate member seals the dispensing orifice when the displaceable actuator head is biased to an at-rest position.

Actuator for a dispensing apparatus

The present invention relates to a process for blowing an article with at least one recess.

Process for the manufacture of an article comprising a recess

A faucet-mounted filter system that includes a body forming a fluid chamber having a water inlet, a quick connect device positioned adjacent the water inlet for mounting the filter system to a water faucet such that the water inlet is placed in fluid communication with the water faucet, a filtered water flow path disposed within the body and in fluid communication with the water inlet, an unfiltered water flow path disposed within the body and in fluid communication with the water inlet, a diverter valve disposed within the fluid chamber and operable to open and close the filtered and unfiltered water flow paths, a seal for sealing the fluid chamber, an actuator engaging the diverter valve to open and close the filtered and unfiltered water flow paths without having to interrupt the seal, a flow meter connected to the body and in fluid communication with the filter flow path, a filter housing connected to the body and having a reservoir, and a filter cartridge disposed within the reservoir. The filter cartridge is in fluid communication with the flow meter.

A dispensing apparatus for containing a pressurized composition, said dispensing apparatus comprising: a reservoir for containing a composition; an actuator head comprising a side wall having an interior surface, said actuator head forming a dispensing orifice through said side wall; a displaceable flow conduit comprising a proximal end in fluid communication with said reservoir and a distal end forming a flow conduit orifice, said distal end being movably engaged with said interior surface of said actuator head; and an intermediate member interposed between said interior surface and said distal end and forming an aperture; and wherein said displaceable flow conduit is biased to an at-rest position and can be movably actuated to at least partially engage said intermediate member in a dispense position, thereby at least partially aligning said dispensing orifice with said flow conduit orifice.
