Anti-theft ring assembly and method of using the same
An anti-theft assembly for deterring theft of a ring is provided. The anti-theft assembly includes a base that can be used to support an electronic article surveillance marker; a product engagement member including a support member that supports the ring during use and a locking member that secures the support member to the base; and an attachment member for securing the ring to the support member. In one embodiment, the support member and the locking member are a single, unitary member. In another embodiment, the support member and the locking member are separate members. Once assembled, upon applying a twisting force to the ring the engagement member rotates within the opening so that the attachment member is not broken.

VACUUM ABSORBING BASES FOR HOT-FILL CONTAINERS
A polymeric container including an upper portion defining an opening to an interior volume of the container. A base is movable to accommodate vacuum forces generated within the container, thereby decreasing the volume of the container. A substantially cylindrical sidewall extends between the upper portion and the base. A rigid, central pushup portion of the base is at an axial center of the base. A central longitudinal axis of the container extends through a center of the central pushup portion. A flexible diaphragm of the base extends outward from the central pushup portion.
THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL CONTAINER
A container (1) made of thermoplastic material, defining an axis (X) and having a petaloid type bottom (2), the bottom (2) comprising: —a central area (3); —a plurality of first convex surfaces (4) towards the outside of the container, which extend from the central area (3); —a plurality of feet (5), arranged alternately with the first convex surfaces (4), and projecting outwards with respect to the first convex surfaces (4); —an annular rib (6), which is coaxial to the axis (X); wherein the first convex surfaces (4) belong to the same spherical surface having the center (C) arranged on the axis (X).
Lightweight container base
A container defining a longitudinal axis and a transverse direction that is transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis. The container includes a finish and a sidewall portion extending from the finish. A plurality of ribs are defined by the sidewall. A base portion extends from the sidewall portion and encloses the sidewall portion to form a volume therein for retaining a commodity. The base portion has a contact surface for supporting the container. A plurality of straps extend radially along the base portion away from the longitudinal axis in the transverse direction, each one of the straps defines a strap surface that is closer to the finish than the contact surface. The plurality of ribs and the base portion are configured to place the container in a state of hydraulic charge-up when top load is applied to the container after the container is filled.
Container closure with vacuum-indicating pull tab
A package that includes a container and a container closure having a vacuum-indicating pull tab. The container includes a longitudinal axis extending therethrough, a mouth, and a sealing surface. The container closure includes a seal membrane sealingly and removably coupled to the container sealing surface to seal the container, and a pull tab configured to extend from the seal membrane. Manipulation of the pull tab provides an indication of the presence or absence of a vacuum in the package.
CONTAINER SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
A plastic, hot-fillable container is provided. The container comprises a blow molded body including a neck and a base having a center portion and a plurality of spaced apart radial segments. At least a portion of each segment is tapered from an outer side to an inner side thereof. Container systems and methods of manufacturing containers are disclosed.
Square bottle
A peripheral groove is defined by a bottom surface, an upper side surface, and a lower side surface, and, in at least one of the upper side surface and the lower side surface, a radially outer end edge of an end portion positioned at a circumferential end portion of a panel surface portion is further away in a bottle axis direction from the bottom surface toward an adjacent corner surface portion when viewed from the outside in the radial direction.
Latchable package
A latchable package comprises: a support (200) for supporting one or more items; a structure (300) for selectively blocking access to the one or more items; and a latchable insert (400). The latchable insert comprises a substantially planar tab member that is coupled to the support such that the insert and support are movable together in an opening direction from a first position in which the structure blocks access to the one or more items to a second position in which the one or more items are accessibly clear of the structure. The structure and the latchable insert comprise co-operating latch features (380) configured to engage when the insert and support are arranged in the first position.
