A connecting structure is provided for connecting a first member and a second member, wherein the first member comprises a connecting upright portion and a plurality of locking flanges provided to extend outwards along the circumferential direction of the outer face of the connecting upright portion, while the second member comprises a connecting side-wall portion that overlies the connecting upright portion and a plurality of locking projections provided to extend inwards from the inner face of the connecting side-wall portion. The bottom faces of the locking flanges distend downwards in a convex curved shape and, when the second member is overlaid on the first member and rotated, the upper faces of the locking projections are guided with sliding contact along the convex curved bottom faces of the locking flanges and stopped at the lowermost position of the convex curved bottom faces.

A closure combination (101) comprising a dispensing closure body (102) and a container neck (103). The dispensing closure body (102) and container neck (103) comprise co-operable screw threads (104, 105) that allow the dispensing closure body (102) to be screwed onto the container neck (103) into an engaged condition. The co-operable screw threads (104, 105) prevent the dispensing closure body (102) from being unscrewed from the container neck (103) after the dispensing closure body (102) has been screwed onto the container neck (103) into a locked condition. A dispensing closure body (102) comprising an internal screw thread (10) that comprises a reversed-thread run out portion (107). A container with a container neck (103) comprising an external screw thread (105) that comprises a reversed-thread run out portion (108). A method of providing a tamper-resistance container closure combination (101).

A food containment and dispensing system includes a collapsible pouch forming a cavity to contain a food product. A spout fitment is coupled to the collapsible pouch and includes a spout that extends from the collapsible pouch. A spout thread extends radially from the spout. The spout thread starts at a spout rib, which defines a spout rib contact surface. A cap is in threaded engagement with the spout, and it includes a cylindrical wall. A cap thread extends radially from the cylindrical wall and terminates at a cap rib, which defines a cap rib contact surface that is in contact with the spout rib contact surface to prevent further rotation of the cap with respect to the spout.

Various embodiments include a child resistant and senior friendly dispenser. The dispenser can be used to hold or retain medicine such as, for example, pills. The dispenser can include a bottle and a bottle cap. The cap can restrict access to the contents of the bottle based on one or more incorporated child resistant features. The cap can include a base and a lid. The base can be coupled to a top portion or neck of the bottle to secure the cap to the bottle. The lid can include one or more snaps for securing to the base when in a closed positioned. The base can include one or more corresponding recesses or slots for accepting and securing the snaps.

Hinged closures for containers are provided. The hinged closures allow for a closure that can be held in the open position with a large opening angle. The hinged closures include a lid portion and a skirt portion interconnected by a hinge portion. The hinge portion can be formed from two connecting columns and a central tongue, or two tongues and a central connecting column.

There is described a lid assembly for a container having a spout. The lid assembly comprises at least a coupling ring configured to be arranged around at least a portion of the spout; a lid configured to selectively cover a pouring outlet of the spout; and a tethering element tethering the lid to the coupling ring. The lid comprises at least a first gripping wall and at least a second gripping wall defining respective engagement surfaces configured to be engaged by at least a portion of an application device and/or to support gripping and/or alignment and/or rotation of the lid during a coupling of the lid assembly to the spout and being arranged on opposing portions of the lid. Each one of the first gripping wall and the second gripping wall lies on a respective plane distinct from the other one.

Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.

A screw cap is aligned using a loading piston by a method for aligning the screw cap and the loading piston in relation to each other, and after alignment a method for screwing a screw cap onto a threaded neck portion of a packaging container is performed. The screw cap includes a base portion having a top and a bottom surface, and an annular portion raised from the base portion, the annular portion having an inner surface and an outer surface; and at least one first threaded portion arranged on the inner surface of the annular portion. The base portion includes engagement features, such that the screw cap is configured to engage a tool with at least one complementary engagement feature in a process of screwing the cap onto the container with the complementary threaded neck portion.

A container (100) having a main body (104) including one or more sidewalls (106) having an interior surface (120) and an exterior surface (122) and defining an interior compartment (108), the one or more sidewalls having an upper portion (114) defining a circular opening (110) to the interior compartment and an annular flange (128) extending from the exterior surface and a lid-collar assembly (112, 116) comprising a lid (116) attached to a collar (112) affixed to the main body, the collar having an inner side surface (162) positioned radially outward of the annular flange and a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs (210) spaced apart on the inner side surface, wherein the plurality of ribs engage the annular flange to resist rotation of the lid-collar assembly relative to the main body.
