A beverage container finger ring that allows an individual to easily carry one or multiple beverage container by utilizing only their fingers includes a bottle cap, a bottle carrying ring, a tab, a flexible connector. The tab is adjacently connected to the bottle carrying ring. The bottle carrying ring is adjacently connected to a lateral wall of the bottle cap by the flexible connector so that the bottle carrying ring can be moved in between an opened configuration and a closed configuration. The placement of the bottle carrying ring differentiates multiple embodiments of the beverage container finger ring as the bottle carrying ring can be concentrically positioned to the bottle cap, positioned against the lateral wall from top, and positioned against the lateral wall from bottom with respect to the closed configuration.

A cap for a container can include a disc-shaped top section, an annular side section projecting from the disc-shaped top section, and a locking flange disposed at an extremity of the annular side section opposite the disc-shaped top section. The cap can further include a locking flap extending from the annular side section, and the locking flap can be mobile between a locked first position in which a portion of the locking flange extends inwardly from the annular side section and an unlocked second position in which the locking flange is at least partially recessed relative to the annular side section.

A plastic closure embodying the principles of the present invention comprises a closure cap having a top wall portion, and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for threaded engagement with the external thread formation of an associated container. In order to facilitate high-speed application, and minimize the use of polymeric material, the closure is configured to exhibit a variation in retention force which decreases in a direction away from the top wall portion of the closure cap.

Aspects of the present invention are directed to a child-proof cap that is easier to open for adults than traditional child-resistant closures, yet remains resistant to opening by children. The child-proof cap may be opened in a pull-and-flip motion with a single hand.

The presently-disclosed subject matter includes valve covers. The valve covers can protect valves from exposure as well as from tampering. In some embodiments the valve cover comprises a cap that includes a top end and a side wall that is substantially cylindrical. Embodiments of valve covers also include a plug on an interior side of the top end of the cap that projects toward the opening of the cap. When the valve cover is installed, the plug can extend beyond an opening of the valve.

The hybrid plug is a single component replacement for three components, the paint plug, conventional plug and capseal in a drum closure. It is formed from a single sheet of metal and has a plug portion and a capseal portion which vary in thickness. The plug portion has a collar and an externally threaded wall with a plug gasket disposed on a plug gasket seat. The capseal portion is provided with ears and scoring to enable separation from the plug portion and with a lining on the inner wall of the capseal portion to safeguard against plug gasket failure. The capseal portion may be recessed at intervals to form dimples which hold the hybrid plug in place in an automated insertion process. The hybrid plug provides a passage for air and gases during paint curing and leak testing without necessitating removal.

An anti-refill closure assembly comprises a closure body having an upper spout portion and a lower fitment portion configured for securement to an associated container. The closure body defines at least one flow passage through which liquid from the container enters the closure body. A reciprocable valve member is positioned within the closure body for movement between opened and closed positions. In the opened position of the valve member, liquid from within the container flows into the closure body through the at least one flow passage, and past the valve member outwardly through the upper spout portion. In the closed position of the valve member, the valve member acts to prevent the reverse flow of liquid from the outer spout portion back through the valve body and into the associated container. The reciprocable valve member acts to permit normal dispensing of liquid from within the container in the open position of the valve member, but acts in the nature of a one-way check valve to inhibit and prevent flow of liquid through the closure body back into the container.

A sealing cover for containers with increased heat resistance, easy-opening performance and sealability is provided. The sealing cover includes an upper layer which is provided with the opening tab, and a lower layer which includes an aluminum foil and a heat sealing adhesive layer thermally-adhering to the container. The upper layer and the lower layer are integrated with each other via thermal adhesion using a heat adhesive resin or film.
