Resealable Pouring Element for Cardboard/Plastic Composite Packages With an Anchor Ring for Securely Fastening Screw Cap

Represented and described is a resealable pouring element for cardboard/plastic composite packages, in particular beverage packages, with a base element with a circumferential fastening flange as well as an external thread, with opening means arranged at least in the unopened state of the pouring element in the interior of the base element and with a screw cap with internal thread. The opening means are designed such that when the composite package is initially opened by unscrewing the screw cap by breaking the composite material of the package or a barrier layer located in the base element, a pour opening is created inside the pouring element. In order to ensure a fastening of the screw cap to the pouring element in such a resealable pouring element, even in the unscrewed stale, it is provided that an anchor ring is arranged below the screw cap, is connected thereto in a rotationally-fixed manner and is connected to the base element so as to be radially freely rotatable around the base element and in a tension-resistant manner in the axial direction and in that, to securely fasten the screw cap to the base element, even in the unscrewed state, the anchor ring is connected to the screw cap a hinged manner via a hinge element, whose pivot axis is aligned tangentially to the outer circumference of the screw cap.

Hinged flip-top cap with tamper-evident inner ring
20230029126 · 2023-01-26 ·

A hinged flip-top cap with a tamper-evident inner ring includes a base portion, which extends into a pourer portion, and a flip-top lid. A hinge arrangement connects the flip-top lid to the base portion and is foldable with respect to said base portion, so that flip-top lid can be tilted with respect to the base portion and moved between a closed position above the base portion and an open position detached and rotated from the base portion. The inner ring is position inwardly of the flip-top lid and the base portion and operates as a tamper-evident element that reveals whether a first opening between the flip-top lid and the base portion has been made.

A system and associated method include a container having a top opening and a sidewall surface, and a lid configured to removably seal the top opening, where the lid is configured to removably attach via a friction fit to an opening or other formed holder in the sidewall surface. The holder may include one or more detents to facilitate the friction fit.

ADJUSTABLE ADDITIVE DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND DISPENSING CLOSURE VALVES FOR THE SAME

A mixing cartridge delivery system, which mixes additive with base liquid flowing through it, utilizes a dispensing closure valve to achieve improved flow of mixed liquid from the cartridge. A closure base may include a tethered lid. A flexible valve, such as a slit valve, is supported on a valve supporting end of the closure base and retained thereon with a valve retainer that interlocks with the closure base. The system may include a one-way valve for base liquid and a mixing section defined in the cartridge. The dispensing closure valve achieves improved flow characteristics in combination with the base liquid valve. The dispensing closure valve also prevents leakage and inadvertent discharge from the cartridge system.
