A dispensing system includes a housing, a discharge outlet, and a trigger having a grip portion pivotably coupled to the housing to rotate from a first position to a second position. The grip portion has an upper surface and an interior surface disposed below the discharge outlet when the dispensing system is in an upright position. The upper surface of the grip portion moves outward when the grip portion rotates from the first position to the second position to enable at least one of the upper surface or the interior surface to direct a fluid product discharged via the discharge outlet into an interior of the housing.

Dispensing systems

Beverage cap with filter

A dispensing system includes a container and an overcap. The container includes a central, longitudinal axis and a first outermost point. The first outermost point of the container is a first distance from the central, longitudinal axis along a first line perpendicular to the central, longitudinal axis. The overcap is coupled to the container and includes a pivotable trigger that is configured to pivot between an unactuated position and an actuated position. A second outermost point of the trigger is a second distance from the central, longitudinal axis along a second line perpendicular to the central, longitudinal axis when the trigger is in the unactuated position, the second distance less than the first distance. Further, the second outermost point of the trigger is to move toward the central, longitudinal axis when the trigger moves toward the actuated position.

Backpacks with cooperatively adjusted hip belt segments and compression strap segments. A backpack includes a pack body, a shoulder strap, and a belt assembly. The pack body includes a back panel and an exterior panel. The belt assembly includes a compression strap segment, a hip belt segment, an adjustment strap, and a releasable fastener. The backpack includes a belt assembly waist loop with a belt assembly waist perimeter. Each adjustment strap is configured to selectively adjust each of the pack volume and the belt assembly waist perimeter. The belt assembly is configured such that, responsive to the user applying a tension force to the adjustment strap, each of a pack volume and the belt assembly waist perimeter decreases by a respective degree that depends upon a ratio of the force required to decrease the pack volume to the force required to decrease the belt assembly waist perimeter.
