A method comprises in sequence the steps of: dispensing a continuous polymeric extrudate in a molten state; separating from the continuous extrudate a dose substantially having the shape of a parallelepiped, the dose having a separation surface at which the dose has been separated from the continuous extrudate, the dose further having a face adjacent to the separation surface; conveying the dose towards a mould comprising a first mould part and a second mould part; shaping the dose in the mould by moving the first mould part and the second mould part one towards the other in a moulding direction arranged transversally to said face, thereby obtaining a dispensing part of a container. The dispensing part comprises: an edge zone suitable for being joined to a container body; a neck surrounding a passage through which a product contained in the container can be dispensed; a membrane which closes the passage, the passage being intended to be opened after the shaping step, so that said product can flow out.

Clinical waste container (100) comprising a lower basket part (110) and an upper lid part (120), comprising a cylindrical part (121) having an upper lid opening (122); and a lid cap part (130), arranged to be fastened to said lid part so as to cover said lid opening, wherein the lid part and the lid cap part each comprise cooperating snap-lock means (123, 133), comprising several separated elongated protrusions (133a,133b), together defining a broken circle. The lid part comprises at a lower end (124) a bend (125) of at least 60, with an inner radius (R1) of at the most 5 mm and an outer radius (R2) of at the most 5 mm, defining a local material thickness increase of at least 25%. The lid part and the lid cap part comprise at least 30% by volume wooden fibres. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a container.

Closures with a tamper evidence feature that is reshaped to connect it to the container neck are disclosed. Methods and systems for carrying out the methods, and to mold stacks for making the closures are also disclosed. The tamper evidence feature can be a band, a portion of a cylindrical skirt or a panel formed in the cylindrical skirt. The application of heat may deform the band inwardly to create a lip for engaging a flange on the container neck, or it may weld the tamper evidence feature to the flange.

A tool for manufacturing a cap for a container comprises a blade set that includes a plurality of knives. The knives are configured to make incisions in a cap having a main body having a top plate and a circular sidewall. The top plate has a top surface, wherein two opposite sides of the circular sidewall circularly connect to each other, one periphery of the circular sidewall connects to one surface of the top plate forming a closed end, and the other periphery of the circular sidewall at the opposite side of the closed end forms an opened end and a ring member, which is located at the opened end of the main body. There is a first tab on the ring member and a second tab on the sidewall.

According to an aspect, a lid includes a circular top portion, a fitting portion, and a skirt portion. The top portion has a drinking hole. The fitting portion includes an inner fitting portion protruding upwardly from a peripheral end of the top portion and adapted to contact a rim-side inner circumferential surface of a container body, and an upper fitting portion thicker than the inner fitting portion and adapted to be fitted onto a rim of the container body. An upper end of the fitting portion is at a level higher than the drinking hole. The skirt portion at its upper end is continuous with an outer-side lower end of the fitting portion. The skirt portion extends downwardly away from the rim. The skirt portion is adapted to cover a rim-side circumferential surface of the container body.

A plastic injection tool for producing a closure cap is divided into first and second mold halves that can be moved relative to one another and an injection nozzle is formed in the first mold half, and sliding jaw tool parts are formed in the second mold half, radially outside a central tool core, which can simultaneously be moved in an ejection direction of the produced closure cap and perpendicular to the ejection direction. A respective partial ejection contour of the cap body is formed in the sliding jaw tool parts. An ejector is also provided for ejecting the produced closure cap. Partial injection contours that are different from one another are formed in sliding jaw tool parts, and a sliding jaw tool part is in contact with the tool core in two regions lying after one another in the ejection direction, before the ejection of the closure cap.

Methods and devices for sizing and positioning fluid material, machine comprising the device and method for manufacturing a container closure are disclosed. A device for portioning and positioning a flowable sealing material, the device (100) having a flange-like portion (110) and a cylindrical portion (130), wherein (a) the flange-like portion (110) is connected to the cylindrical portion (130); (b) the cylindrical portion (130) has an end side (133) located at an end of the cylindrical portion (130) that faces away from the flange-like portion (110); and (c) the end side (133) has a face (134) that is inclined relative to an axis of the device (100) such that an angle (a) between the face (134) and the axis is less than 90, and the face is inclined upwards and outwards.

Clinical waste container (100) comprising a lower basket part (110) and an upper lid part (120), comprising a cylindrical part (121) having an upper lid opening (122); and a lid cap part (130), arranged to be fastened to said lid part so as to cover said lid opening, wherein the lid part and the lid cap part each comprise cooperating snap-lock means (123, 133), comprising several separated elongated protrusions (133a,133b), together defining a broken circle.
