A method for providing pre-assembled and sterilized container closure assemblies that are each adapted to be secured onto a container including manufacturing pre-assembled container closure assemblies each adapted to be secured onto a container, injection molding a monolithic spout body of thermoplastic material, injection molding a manually removable rotational cap, securing the cap onto the neck of the spout body in a closed position of the cap, submerging each of the pre-assembled container closure assemblies in a bath of sterilizing liquid, and removing the container closure assemblies from the bath of sterilizing liquid, and allowing the sterilizing liquid to drain. A pre-assembled container closure assembly adapted to be secured onto a container is also disclosed.

Articles of manufacture, systems, and methods for arranging and securing a plurality of components used to assemble a product are provided. A component tree may include a plurality of components. The plurality of components may include an interlocking tee, a top cap, an adjustable foot, a foot adjuster and a wall bracket. A plurality of connecting means configured to couple each component of the plurality of components to an adjacent component of the plurality of components may be included. The plurality of components may be sequentially positioned along a length of the component tree in a predetermined order.

A method for manufacturing a sanitary cover for a beverage can and relates to a technique for forming a cutting line along a circumferential surface of a sanitary cover while the sanitary cover is covering a beverage can, thereby maximizing the production efficiency of the sanitary cover having improved functionality. Also, the technique which, in three-dimensionally forming a cutting line as such, can carry out the process of forming the cutting line easily and rapidly via a simple structure, thereby increasing the production efficiency even further.

A molded article comprising a container top is disclosed. The molded article includes a threadless frame defining an opening, a flip cap located substantially coplanar with, and integrally formed with, the frame, a compound hinge between the frame and the flip cap, the hinge allowing the flip cap to rotate about the hinge to rest on top of the frame, an in-mold lidding film having a perimeter molded to the frame such that the in-mold lidding film covers the opening defined by the frame, wherein the in-mold lidding film is removable from the frame, and a pull tab, formed from the in-mold lidding film, that extends past the opening defined by the frame.

A method of forming a nipple for a baby bottle, comprises: forming a lower conical wall section; forming a higher conical wall section molded above the lower conical wall section; preventing deformation of the higher conical wall section; and cutting an opening through the higher conical wall section into an interior section of the nipple.

A synthetic closure for a product-retaining container is constructed for being inserted and securely retained in a portal-forming neck of said container, said closure comprising at least a core member comprising at least one cycloolefin-based copolymer.

A collector includes a container body defining an interior containment space and having an open end for access, and a cap in covering relation to the open end and having an opening for receiving therein a distal end of a kerrison-type rongeur. An improvement includes the cap including a first plurality of scrapers in the form of fingers for engaging and dislodging cut bone from the cutting area of the distal end of the rongeur and a second plurality of scrapers in the form of wipers for engaging and dislodging cut bone from the cutting area of the distal end of the rongeur when the distal end of the rongeur is withdrawn through the opening from the collector, the second plurality being arranged so as to permit insertion of the distal end of the rongeur through the opening into the collector without engaging the distal end of the rongeur.
