A system for securing a first container to a second container comprises an upper locking portion and a lower locking portion. A first protrusion of the upper locking portion abuts the second container and restricts movement of the second container in the locked position. A surface of a second body of the lower locking portion is configured to receive a force and to cause the lower locking portion to rotate about a second pivot to an unlocked position. The rotation of the lower locking portion to the unlocked position causes a second protrusion of the upper locking portion to abut a first body of the upper locking portion and cause the upper locking portion to rotate to an unlocked position. The rotation of the upper locking portion to the unlocked position causes the first protrusion to disengage from the second container.

The invention relates to a container comprising a container body which forms a receiving space for a substance and has a container opening, a sealing element which seals the container opening being provided, the container comprising a releasing device for the substance which has a releasing opening. The container is characterized in that the releasing device comprises a holding body and a sliding body, connecting means of the holding body being arranged on the container body, the sliding body being displaceable from a basic position into an activated position, the sliding body having an insert element which is arranged outside the container opening in a basic position and which protrudes at least in part into the container opening in the activated position, the releasing opening being arranged in the sliding body. The invention further relates to a method for removing a substance from the container.

A closure includes an annular base to be fixed to an upper rim of a container and a lid moveable relative to the annular base between a closed position and an open position. The annular base includes a peripheral skirt with an integral non-removable end portion adapted to be arranged over the upper rim of the container and a peripheral locking rim integrally formed on the end portion of the peripheral skirt. A proximal end of the peripheral locking rim is hingedly connected to the peripheral skirt, allowing the peripheral locking rim to be folded inwardly towards an inner surface of the end portion of the peripheral skirt and allowing the distal end to move beyond and engage under the peripheral ledge of the container to lock the annular base to the upper rim of the container. The locking rim includes a surface radially inwardly and circumferentially extending sealing rib.

A cap-type synthetic resin container lid is easily removable from a container without separating to form scrap pieces, The container lid includes thin-walled inversion pieces that extend upward beyond a top panel wall from their lower ends which connect to the outer surface of a skirt wall, a restraint wall that is connected to the upper ends of the thin-walled inversion pieces and that has a specific site in the circumferential direction, and an operating section connected to the outer surface of the skirt wall via a connecting piece that extends radially out from the skirt wall at a position in alignment with the specific site. Locked projections and locking projections, on the restraint wall and the connecting piece respectively, restrict expansion of the restraint wall.

A plastic container has a main body portion, a neck portion and a molded feature such as an anti-rotation lug adjacent to the neck portion. The molded feature has a volume that is less than a volume that would be defined by the maximum external dimensions of the feature. This reduces the shrinkage differential between the molded feature and the neck portion, which could otherwise cause sealing problems with a closure as a result of deformation of the neck portion. A method of blow molding a plastic container with a reduced volume of the molded feature is also disclosed.

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).

The present invention relates to a tamper resistant lid for a container and a method for sealing a container. The method for sealing a container includes providing a tamper resistant lid having a center axis; an outer member; an inner member; the outer member and the inner member each include an outer surface and an inner surface wherein at least a part of the outer surface of the inner member is substantially adjacent at least a part of the inner surface of the outer member, the inner member having a thread; and at least one stop member preventing the inner member from rotation with respect to the outer member, placing the tamper resistant lid onto a container; rotating the outer member in a first direction to allow the thread of the inner member to connect to a thread of a neck element of the container; and disabling the at least one stop member by applying a designated force after the inner member has been connected to the container, so that the outer member can be freely rotated with respect to the inner member to thereby prevent removal of the tamper resistant lid from the container.

A tamper resistant lid for a container is described. The lid exhibits a center axis (X) and includes an outer and an inner member. The outer and inner members are further adapted to be substantially prevented from displacement along the center axis (X) with respect to each other. At least a part of the inner member includes threads enabling a threaded connection to the container by means of rotating the outer member in a first direction. The lid further includes at least one stop member preventing the inner member from rotation with respect to the outer member. The at least one stop member is adapted to be controllably disabled with a designated force after said inner member has been connected to the container, so that the outer member can be freely rotated with respect to the inner member to thereby prevent removal of the lid from the container. The present invention enables the sealing of a container, while substantially preventing the container from being reopened.

The disclosure relates to a closure having a sealing element for a fluid-filled container. The closure has at least one securing mechanism which is designed to be irreversibly changed in a visible manner during the first opening of the closure.

A mobile smart container system comprises a housing, an access component configured to secure access to a compartment within the housing when in a closed position, a communication interface configured to wirelessly receive a request to access the compartment, a perceivable output device, an electromechanical latch configured to engage with the access component to releasably lock the access component in the closed position, and a processor. The processor receives and authenticates the request to access the compartment and, in response to receiving and authenticating the request, activates the electromechanical latch to unlock the access component to make the compartment accessible, and outputs, upon actuation of the electromechanical latch, an alert via the perceivable output device to identify the smart container system.
