401 79, 401175, 401266, 401 75

Abstract:

A rotary dispenser with internal pressure relief includes a housing; an elevator slidably and non-rotatably disposed in the housing; a rotatable drive member rotatably disposed in the housing and engaged with the elevator whereby rotation of the drive member slides the elevator relative to the housing; a dome slidably and non-rotatably mounted relative to the housing and having at least one aperture for dispensing product from inside of the housing; and a pressure relief member having a cam and a cam follower, one of the cam and the cam follower being associated with the rotatable drive member and the other of the cam and the cam follower being associated with the dome, the cam follower being rotatably engaged with the cam, whereby rotation of the rotatable drive member relative to the dome rotates one of the cam and the cam follower relative to the other of the cam and the cam follower, the cam having at least one cam surface for causing axial movement of the dome toward the elevator and at least one second cam surface for allowing movement of the dome away from the elevator.

International Classification:

B67D 1/16

US Classification:

222109, 222110, 222111, 222520

Abstract:

A container has a body with a body opening. A spout fitment base is positioned within the body opening. A spout has a threaded engagement with the spout fitment base for movement between a retracted position and an extended position. A cap has a removed condition disengaged from the body, spout fitment base, and spout. The cap has an installed condition having a threaded engagement with at least one of the body and spout base fitment. An unscrewing of the cap from its installed condition rotates the spout so that the threaded engagement with the spout with the spout base fitment drive the spout from the retracted condition toward the extended condition.
