A device for dispensing a fluid substance (F) comprising a manually operated pump (2) coupled to a deformable bag (3), the deformable bag being housed inside a container (4); the container is formed of a collar (5) made of plastic coupled to a tubular element (6) formed from a paper- or cardboard-based material, the tubular element featuring a bottom (7), the collar (5) featuring ribs (N) made on a surface thereof which comes into contact with an internal wall of the tubular element (6).

A closure for sealingly closing a container neck having a tubular body with a top wall, an annular side wall, an intermediate wall joining the side wall to the top wall and an annular tamper evidence band frangibly connected to an open end described by the side wall. The band includes retaining cams protruding from its inner surface. Each cam has a lead-in ramp for engaging, in use, the flange of a container neck as the neck is introduced into the open end of the body and a stop for engaging the flange to separate the band from the body when the closure is subsequently removed from the neck. Each lead-in ramp has a central recess therein.

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.

A packaging assembly includes a container body defining an interior for housing a product and an opening leading to the interior. The assembly further includes a cap that moves with respect to the container body to move the assembly between a closed position in which the cap covers the opening, and an opened position in which the opening is exposed. A first seal (40) is defined between the container body and the cap. The first seal includes a protrusion (42) formed on one of the container body about the opening or the cap, and a groove (44) formed on the other of the container body about the opening or the cap. The protrusion is received by the groove when the assembly is in the closed position, such that contact is maintained in a sealing relationship around the opening between the groove and the protrusion.

A portable beverage container is provided. The portable beverage container may include a glass vessel having a neck; a metal outer shell configured to surround a first portion of the glass vessel; a cap configured to engage with the metal outer shell to surround a second portion of the glass vessel; and an amorphous thermoplastic spout having a neck configured to be inserted through an opening in the cap and into the neck of the glass vessel. The spout may be configured to securely engage with the cap. The cap may include a lid with an elastomeric sealing member having a knob configured to extend into a recess in the spout and a recess configured to wrap around and over a lip of the spout. The spout may be removable from the cap while the cap is engaged with the outer shell.

A cap includes: a cap body including a top plate portion and a cylindrical skirt portion; a sealing member provided in the cap body separately from the cap body so as to face the top plate portion; a plurality of locking portions arranged in a circumferential direction in the skirt portion, the locking portions protruding inward in a radial direction of the skirt portion and supporting the sealing member; a plurality of small diameter portions arranged between the top plate portion and the locking portions of the skirt portion, the small diameter portions being respectively provided on a top plate portion side of the locking portions in the axial direction; and a plurality of large diameter portions provided adjacent to the small diameter portions in the circumferential direction and having an inscribed circle diameter larger than an inscribed circle diameter of the plurality of small diameter portions.

A container adapter includes a first chamber. The first chamber is adapted to attach to a container. The container further includes a second chamber. The second chamber includes a sealing surface and a resealable interface disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber. The second chamber is exposed to an ambient environment.

An ester additive prepared from diol and dicarboxylic acid or fatty acid wherein the diol and dicarboxylic acid or fatty acid are bioderived and the ester is used as a slip and/or antiblocking agent and/or lubricant in moulded synthetic articles from polyvinylchloride, styrenics, thermoplastic elastomers, polyolefins and engineering plastics; in cosmetic compositions; in nutraceutical compositions and as food emulsifiers.
