A liquid container includes a container body including an inner space accommodating a liquid formed therein, a liquid port formed at a top thereof to allow the liquid to flow into/out of the inner space, and a holding protrusion which protrudes toward an inside and is formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof, a cap inserted into the liquid port and then coupled with the container body, and a stopper coupled with the cap, disposed to be spaced apart from a bottom surface of the cap, configured to protrude in an outward-radial direction and to be held by the holding protrusion to limit a movement distance of the cap when the cap moves upward, and formed of an elastic material to allow the cap to be separable from the container body by a certain external force applied to the cap.

Disclosed is a metal bottle seal that is disposed on the curl of the metal bottle. The bottle seal may be held in place by crimping of the curl. In addition, adhesive may be used to hold the bottle seal on the curl. Adhesives can be used that fill discontinuities that may exist in the curl as a result of substantial drawing and ironing of the metal. Further, the metal bottle seal can be made of a material or laminated with a material that is soft enough to fill the discontinuities. The seal can be preformed as a continuous annulus for easy application to the top of the metal bottle. The metal bottle seal can also be used in conjunction with a cap seal to ensure an adequate and reliable seal.

Described is an automated reagent dispensing cap and methods of use in an automated clinical analyzer for introducing one or more reagent components housed in the reagent dispensing cap into a container enclosing another reagent component with which it is combined to achieve a reagent useful for diagnostic testing.

The present invention relates to devices for corking bottles, and more particularly to the corking of glass bottles having necks containing a cork with an upper portion which rises above a rim, and may be used for corking bottles. A device for corking bottles contains a neck with a rim, and a cork, an end portion of the rim having protrusions, providing the ability to raise the cork by rotating same by the upper portion thereof. The neck, rim and upper portion of the cork are rectangular and/or oval in horizontal cross-section. The neck and rim are, on the two wide sides thereof, made in the form of parallel flat common surfaces. The narrow sides of the rim are hook-shaped.

The present invention relates to a closed-head drum (10) with inserted thin-walled inliner (22) of multilayer plastic film for storing and transporting liquid or free-flowing filling materials. In order to improve the use of liners in closed-head drums, and to facilitate in particular the handling for the users such as the filling and emptying operators, so as to allow the closed-head drum (10) with liner (22) to be handled in precisely the same way as a closed-head drum without a liner, the present invention provides for the liner surface to adhere, or be adhesively bonded in a detachable manner, to the inner wall of the drum by virtue of a vacuum being created in the intermediate air space between the inner wall of the drum and liner surface and by thermal activation by means of hot air injection into the interior of the inliner.

A plug for detecting tampering of a container is configured to close an opening of the container. The plug includes an attachment device for attaching the plug to the opening of the container, a motion sensor for sensing rotation of the plug with respect to the container, a communication device for communicating with a server, a microcontroller unit and a memory unit. The microcontroller unit is configured to compare a sensed rotation of the plug to a service schedule stored in the memory and detect the tampering of the container based on the comparison.

A tamper indicating closure cap or overseal comprises a top wall, and an annular top wall skirt attached to a periphery of the top wall. A locking member is attached to the top wall skirt so as to be movable between: i) a first position projecting inwardly with respect to the top wall for application of the closure cap or overseal to a container opening and/or to a container closure plug and ii) a second position projecting inwardly and upwardly towards the top wall, thereby to lock the closure cap or overseal to the container closure and/or closure plug.
