A closing element (28) for restricting communication of a substance through an access passage (34) of a body (24) includes a first portion (68) for being removably affixed to the body (24), the first portion (68) having an inner wall (80), an outer wall (96) surrounding the inner wall (80), and at least one bridge (100) connecting the outer wall (96) with the inner wall (80). The closing element (28) has a second portion (72) for being non-removably affixed to the body (24) and a movable connecting element (76) extending between the first portion (68) and the second portion (72). The closing element (28) has an unactuated configuration wherein a major portion (78) of the length of the connecting element (76) is located laterally between the inner wall (80) and the outer wall (96) to shield the major portion (78) of the length of the connecting element (76).

The invention discloses an accessory for an inhalation device having a canister and a housing including a mouthpiece from which the medicament is dispensed. The accessory includes a jacket, which attaches to the housing; a cap for the mouthpiece and a plurality of elastomeric straps which secure the jacket to the cap. An inhalation device is also provided with the accessory attached.

The present invention relates to tethered plastic stopper having a closure shell and a tamper band that separably connected to the closure shell by a plurality of bridges that connect a bottom edge of the closure shell to a top edge of the tamper band. Each bridge is configured to be stretched and broken when the closure shell is moved from a first orientation prior to opening to a second orientation after opening. The stopper further includes a strip and a hinge. The strip is intended to connect to the closure shell at a junction point and has an extremity located at an end of the top weakness line positioned above a first set of bridges located along the bottom weakness line. The hinge is intended to link the strip and the tamper band. The hinge is positioned beneath a set of bridges located along the top weakness line.

The present invention relates to tethered plastic stopper having a closure shell and a tamper band connected to the closure shell by bridges that connect a bottom edge of the closure shell to a top edge of the tamper band. The stopper includes a ridge forming a link that separably connects the closure shell and the tamper band by a weakness line containing a plurality of first bridges and the at least one second bridge. The at least one second bridge has a cross-sectional area greater than the cross-sectional area of the first bridges. The link is formed by a separation line made along the bottom of the link and the top remaining material of the tamper band, the link remaining attached to the tamper band by the at least one second bridge when the plurality of first bridges is broken.

The present invention relates to tethered plastic stopper having a closure shell, a tamper band, and an annular ring. The annular ring is formed between a bottom weakness line separably linked through bottom bridges to the top edge of the tamper band and to the bottom edge of the annular ring and a top weakness line separably linked through top bridges to the top edge of the annular ring and to the bottom edge of the closure shell. At least one of the bottom bridges is configured to prevent disconnection of the annular ring from the tamper band and at least one of the top bridges is configured to prevent disconnection of the annular ring from the closure shell. The remaining bottom bridge and the remaining top bridge having a section exceeding at least 30% relative to the section of the bottom bridges and top bridges, respectively.
