Abstract: A mouthwash dispensing system including: a bottle with a threaded neck (150) defining an opening (140) and configured to hold a liquid; a dispenser (340) including a receiving orifice (380) and a receiving protrusion (390); and a spring-actuated adapter, including: an adapter orifice (250); a valve stem (220, 260) including a spring (270) and a seal (280), wherein the spring (270) is configured to bias the seal (280) to move the spring-actuated adapter to a closed position; a threaded adapter (230) configured to couple the spring-actuated adapter to the threaded neck (150); and a friction-fit adapter configured to couple the spring-actuated adapter to the dispenser (340); wherein, when the spring-actuated adapter is coupled to the dispenser (340), the receiving protrusion (390) moves the spring-actuated adapter to an open position to allow the liquid to flow from the bottle through the adapter orifice (250) and into the dispenser (340).

Abstract: A liquid supply apparatus having an internal reservoir. In one embodiment, the invention can be a liquid supply apparatus including a housing having an internal reservoir containing a fluid. A partition member may be positioned within the internal reservoir to divide the internal reservoir into a first chamber and a second chamber. The partition member may include a passageway extending therethrough and terminating as a first opening in a first surface of the partition member and as a second opening in a second surface of the partition member. A capillary member is located within the second chamber and extends from a first end to a second end. The partition member prohibits axial movement of the capillary member into the first chamber.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a container (1), comprising: providing a body (100) defining a chamber for storing a product and defining an opening through which the product is dispensable from the chamber; selecting a first structure (200) from a plurality of structures, each of the plurality of structures having a feature for forming part of an exterior surface of the container (1) when the respective structure is affixed to the body (100), the feature of the first structure (200) differing from the feature of another structure of the plurality of structures; and affixing to the body (100) the first structure (200) with the feature of the first structure forming part of the exterior surface of the container (1). Also disclosed are a container and a bundle or package of containers.
