The invention relates to a locking cap for a container comprising a neck, intended to block a stopper in the neck of the container and comprising: an external body having a breakable part, a cage that is configured to fit into and lock axially in the external body, and having a breakable zone, the cage further comprising: an upper ring, a plurality n of branches that are connected to the upper ring and define therewith a generally cylindrical shape, n/2 first bridges and n/2 second bridges, each interconnecting two adjacent branches, at least one opening tab, which is supported by a second bridge, which is inclined toward the outside of the cage and is oriented toward the upper ring, the opening tab being adjacent to the breakable zone, which is located on the second bridge.

Provided is a vacuum-pumping bottle stopper, comprising a base, a shell which can enclose a cavity with the base, a vacuum-pumping device arranged in the cavity and used for pumping out air in a bottle to form a vacuum, a temperature measurement unit, and a temperature display unit, wherein the temperature measurement unit is used for measuring the temperature in the bottle; and the temperature display unit is electrically connected to the temperature measurement unit and is used for displaying the temperature measured by the temperature measurement unit. The temperature measurement unit and the temperature display unit are integrated on the vacuum-pumping bottle stopper, such that the temperature of the liquid in the bottle can be conveniently measured, thereby improving the use satisfaction for a user.

Disclosed herein is a fluid transfer assembly for dispensing flowable material from a container, the fluid transfer assembly having a spout, a screw cap body, and an aseptic plug, wherein the aseptic plug is configured to form an aseptic seal with the screw cap body.

A tamper evident delivery enclosure assembly that includes a thin base portion having a seating aperture configured to supportably seat a beverage container. A pair of foldable wing extensions coupled to generally opposed sections of the base portion that foldably extend upwardly in a manner such that the foldable wing extensions substantially extend over the container mouth portion and mounted lid to form an interior pocket, in an engaged condition that substantially prevents access to the lid. A single use closure tape, laterally mounted to the wing extensions, has an upper lateral portion extending beyond the wing member, in an unsealed condition. A removable protective strip removably covers the tape adhesive of the tape lateral portion. When the protective strip is removed, and the wing extensions are in the engaged condition, the tape upper lateral portion can be folded over such that the adhesive is brought into contact with an exterior surface of the enclosure assembly, substantially locking the wing extensions in a sealed condition.

A system for cryptographic wireless detection and authentication of fluids includes a computing device configured to receive, from a transmitter attached to a container, a unique identifier associated with a fluid contained in the container, locate, at an immutable sequential listing, at least an identifier-specific record using the unique identifier, and a lot identifier associated with the unique identifier, retrieve, from the immutable sequential listing, at least a lot-specific record using the lot identifier, capture, from the container, at least a secondary datum describing the container, generate an authenticity probability score as a function of the at least an identifier-specific record, the at least a lot-specific record, and the at least a secondary datum, and display to a user an output based on the authenticity probability score.

The present invention relates to a cap for covering an opening of a container, preferably the opening of a bottle. The present invention is characterized by a cork body having a cylindrical configuration and configured in two portions between which there is arranged an impermeable sheet element according to the longitudinal direction. The presence of an impermeable sheet allows using a conventional closure material preventing permeability in the longitudinal direction both to prevent the liquid from coming out of the container and to prevent bacteria or contaminants from the outside from entering.

A closure may have a top wall and a side wall depending from the top wall. A plug seal device may depend from said top wall within the side wall. The plug seal device may have an upper section, a lower section, and a sealing section proximate the boundary between the upper section and the lower section. The sealing section is operable such that when the plug seal device is inserted in an opening to an inner cavity in a container, the sealing section engages with an inner container surface to provide a seal between an inner cavity of the container and the external environment.

A closure can close an outlet of a vessel. The vessel outlet can comprise a tubular cavity with an interior surface. The closure can comprise a male portion comprising a distal undersized portion, a proximal oversized portion, and a taper between the undersized and oversized portion. The male portion can be inserted in the vessel outlet, undersized portion first. Interference between the inner diameter of the vessel outlet and the outer diameter of male portion can occur when the male portion is sufficiently inserted. The interference can cause the undersized portion to flare out and engage the interior surface of the tubular cavity, thereby providing a seal.

Disclosed herein is a device in the form of a bung for insulating a container interior from the ambient environment, the bung comprising: a plurality of insulating segments; and one or more barriers for reflecting infrared radiation. Disclosed is: a method of preparing a shipping system for retaining a cryopreserved sample, the method comprising: loading a cryopreserved sample into a container such as a vacuum flask; and fitting the bung to the container to insulate the container interior from the ambient environment, and a method of cooling a container, such as a vacuum flask, for retaining cryopreserved samples to a desired temperature, the method comprising: cooling the container interior by pouring a cryogenic fluid such as liquid nitrogen into the container; and emptying the cryogenic fluid from the container, once the cooling has at least partially taken place.

A system and method for easily operated self-releasing stopper/cork for bottles of compressed liquids. The corks have a gas bladder that is designed to be inserted in a bottle and inflated, the bladder having a ribbed or smooth exterior to complete the sealing of the bottle whereby a gas release mechanism can be activated by depressing a button on a cap or via an on-board micro controller and/or electro-mechanical release solution in the cap. Once the gas is released from the top of the bladder the pressure inside the vessel will collapse the bladder’s bottom and eject the cork assembly from the bottle.
