Provided is an ejection cap capable of smoothly and reliably breaking through a film closing a mouth part of a container body and ejecting a content inside a container.

An ejection cap (1) comprising an asymmetric cutter (6) that hangs from a lower surface of a top plate part of a substantially cylindrical dispensing cylinder (4) threadedly engaging a mouth part (3a) of a container body (3) closed by a film (2) and penetrating the film to eject a content, and that has a notch part (7) at a lateral surface on a side opposite to a threadedly engaging rotating direction on a substantially circumference at the tip of the dispensing cylinder.

A valve (100, 200, 300) includes a material with a first side surface (114, 214), a second side surface (116, 216), defining between them a thickness of the material. The material includes at least two self-sealing slits (126, 130, 226, 230) extending through the thickness and includes at least one frangible portion (150, 250) extending laterally between the at least two slits (126, 130, 226, 230) for at least part of said thickness of the material. The material includes confronting, openable portions along the at least two slits (126, 130, 226, 230) to define a normally closed orifice to minimize communication through the valve (100, 200, 300). The openable portions are constrained by the at least one frangible portion (150, 250) from moving away from each other into an open condition.

Pouring closure for liquid containers with pour spout sealingly fixed to a container neck, the cross section of which is closed by a membrane before use. A portion of the membrane extends transversely, approximately pear-shaped, and connected to the remaining portion via an easily tearable line of weakness and can be detached from the membrane. After detachment, an opening in the membrane is released that is correspondingly pear-shape, and liquid poured selectively out of a relatively narrower section or wider section. The pouring closure is produced by tearing out a membrane section and facilitates dosed pouring. Webs on the inner surface at a close distance parallel to the line of weakness and outside the tear-out section run on both sides of the narrow section of the tear-out portion or of the opening and along at least a portion of a transition region between the narrower and the wider sections.
