A stopper for closing sparkling and other non-pressurized beverage containers. A stopper body may have a carrier member and lip engagement member arranged for sliding movement relative to each other and relative to the stopper body. The lip engagement member may be arranged to engage with a lip of a container neck, and be resiliently biased to move toward the carrier member to provide a seal-forming force on a sealing surface of the stopper body. The stopper may be arranged to introduce gas into the container, e.g., to re-pressurize the container to keep a carbonation level of beverage during storage.

An improved packaging assembly for storing, distributing, treating, mixing, and dispensing tissue and/or cellular material and/or implantable material. The packaging assembly may include pouches, tubes, and a bag made of a sealable, flexible polymeric material that is open at one end and a needle-free swabable connector attached to the pouch at the other end and acting as a port to allow for the introduction or discharge of biological solutions, rinsing solution, and/or preservation solutions into the packaging assembly. The designed thickness of the wall of the packaging assembly facilitates efficient heat/cold transfer, which is useful for successful controlled rate freezing, quick thawing, and resuscitation of viable cells or tissue. The packaging assembly is also useful for combining additional biological fluids with the cellular material or tissue, and for efficient mixing of the biological fluids with the tissue and/or cellular material in the assembly.

A closure comprises a cylindrical element (1, 101) having a first portion (2, 102) and a second portion (3, 103), the latter being adapted to engage, as a removable cap, in a portion of a neck (5) of a container, an overcap (8, 108) attached to the cylindrical element (1, 101), comprising a first body (9, 109, 209) and a second body (15, 115, 215), attached together and defining a seat (19, 219). The cylindrical element (1, 101) is partially disposed in the seat (19, 219) to be locked within the seat (19, 219).

A tamper-evident closure includes a cap having a plug, a skirt, and a locking member. The cap and skirt have seats in which a first portion and a second portion of the locking member are arranged. Upon first opening, as the cap moves longitudinally away from the skirt, the lower edge of the cap passes over the first portion longitudinally so that, upon reclosing the tamper-evident closure, the first portion positions in an obstructive manner between the lower edge of the cap and an upper edge of the skirt.

An illuminated bottle stopper mainly includes a lighting, plug body and light transmission tube, where the lighting is a light transmission decoration of a preset shape with an optoelectronic unit configured on the bottom thereof, the plug body is tapered and assembled on the bottom of the base, a passage is longitudinally configured inside the plug body, one end of the light transmission tube is in connection with the passage of the plug body bottom, and a light source is configured to illuminate the light transmission tube, thereby allowing light to be scattered inside and outside a bottle when the plug body is inserted in the mouth of the bottle.

The invention is an improved packaging assembly for storing, distributing, treating, mixing, and dispensing tissue and/or cellular material and/or implantable material.

A sealed pharmaceutical container includes a shoulder, a neck extending from the shoulder, and a flange extending from the neck. The flange includes an inclined sealing surface defining an opening in the sealed pharmaceutical container. The sealed pharmaceutical container also includes a sealing assembly including a stopper extending over the sealing surface of the flange and a cap securing the stopper to the flange. The stopper has a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) that is greater than or equal to 70 C. and less than or equal to 45 C. The sealing assembly maintains a helium leakage rate of the sealed pharmaceutical container of less than or equal to 1.410.sup.6 cm.sup.3/s as the sealed pharmaceutical container is cooled to a temperature of less than or equal to 45 C.

Methods, apparatus, and device, such as a vapor plug, which partially seals an opening of a dewar. The vapor plug includes a vapor plug cover. The vapor plug cover is configured to cover an opening of a dewar. The vapor plug includes a neck that is formed from multiple disks and multiple sheets. The vapor plug includes a fastener that connects the multiple disks, the multiple sheets and the vapor plug cover.

A waterproof prestressing structure of water bottles or cups, which mainly has a first main body and a second main body, and one surface of an elastic body is integrally provided on the first main body. When the first main body and the second main body are screwed to connect with each other, since the one surface of the elastic body is fixed on the first main body, the one surface of the elastic body connected to the first main body does not deform, and only another surface that contacts the second main body deforms, so that the elastic body does not excessively deform in a tight state, thereby reducing twist or damage of the elastic body caused by screwing. The elastic body is integrally provided on the first main body, so that there is no gap between the elastic body and the first main body.

A method for sealingly closing a bottle (1) is described, the method comprising the steps of: providing a cage (1009, a closing stopper (200) and a capsule (300); joining the stopper to the cage and the cage to the capsule (300), obtaining a preassembled closing assembly; aligning the closing assembly on the mouth of the bottle and exerting a pressure so as to sealingly close the bottle, wherein the annular relief of the cage (100) comes into contact with the bottle before the stopper comes into contact with the bottle.
