The actuator is operatively connected to the cavity to allow the contents to be dispensed therefrom. At least two diametrically opposed first fastening members are positioned on or in the body. A device has a generally open first end, a generally open second end, and a sidewall extending therebetween. The device is removably mountable onto the body of the container. At least two diametrically opposed second fastening members are positioned on or in an interior surface of the sidewall. Each second fastening member engages at least a portion of one of the first fastening members of the container when the device is mounted onto the container. | 07-03-2014 |
20140246458 | STACKABLE CONTAINER BODY - A fluid dispenser comprises a container body. The container body has a first end and a second end. The first end is larger in size than the second end. The container body is dimensioned such that the first end of the container body can be at least partially inserted into the second opening of another identical container body Container bodies may be nested for shipment to reduce volume and save on shipping costs. In some embodiments the first larger end of the container body has a squared off cross section, thereby allowing stacks of container bodies to be packaged together in a shipping container with reduced dead space. | 09-04-2014 |

20140312067 | Stackable Liquid Pitcher - Disclosed is a liquid pitcher that is specifically designed to be stackable. The present invention comprises a beverage pitcher for storing liquid with an internal handle and optionally with a pouring spout. The internal handle is a handle that is housed within the body of the liquid pitcher rather than protruding from the body of the liquid pitcher. The internal handle allows the pitcher to support the base of a subsequent pitcher placed within the first pitcher interior. The handle does not protrude from the body of the liquid pitcher and does not sacrifice any structural integrity because it has two points of attachment, which is an upgrade over currently available stackable liquid pitchers, whose handles largely only have a single point of attachment. | 10-23-2014 |
