Described is closing cap for a container comprising a lateral wall extending about an axis, a separation line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring, which comprises a retaining portion which extends up to a free edge of the retaining ring and is configured to engage internally with a ring for locking a neck of the container in such a way as to remain anchored to the neck, and a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container rotating the closing element about the axis. The separation line is circumferentially interrupted to define in the lateral wall a joining zone in which the retaining ring and the closing element are joined. The cap comprises in addition an incision line, which is also provided on the lateral wall to define, in association with the separation line at least a first connecting band and a second connecting band for connecting together the joining zone and the retaining portion. The incision line comprises a pair of lateral stretches wherein a first lateral stretch defines, with a first part of the separation line, the first connecting band and a second lateral stretch defines, with a second part of the separation line, the second connecting band. The lateral stretches differ in angular extension to define connecting bands of different lengths, the angular difference between the longest lateral stretch and the other lateral stretch being greater than or equal to 5° and less than or equal to 45°.

Storage and dispensing systems are provided. In various embodiments, systems of the present disclosure provide safety feature to prevent or limit the risk of a child or minor opening the system. Embodiments of the present disclosure further comprise novel cap and closure arrangements including, for example, features that are operable to automatically load or fill a pipette of the system.

A “smart” closure system, apparatus, and method are described. The closure includes mechanical solution, used in conjunction with wireless technologies and/or web-based or remote authentication, verification, and serialization via a mobile computing device, to provide information about the closure and the contents concealed within that closure. Further, the construction of the closure allows for any and all non-recyclable components of the wireless technologies to be removed so as to enable the closure to be recycled and/or converted to post consumer resin.

Tamper resistant systems and devices and methods of forming the same are disclosed. A tamper resistant system includes a container having a container body defining a cavity having a threaded opening therein, a threaded closure removably covering the threaded opening, and a frangible component including a length of material having a first end and a second end. The first end is integrated with the container body such that the frangible component and the container body have a single piece construction and the frangible component extends from the container body. The second end is coupled to the threaded closure. Subsequent removal of the threaded closure from the container causes damage to at least one of the frangible component, the threaded closure, and the container body. The frangible component, the threaded closure, and the container body are at least partially constructed of an environmentally friendly material.

A cap for a container comprises: a body, configured to be coupled and uncoupled relative to the neck of the container and including a side wall, which extends around a longitudinal axis, and a transverse wall; a tamper evident ring, configured to remain anchored to the neck of the container even when the body is uncoupled from the neck and including a joining portion where the tamper evident ring is joined to the body, the joining portion being configured to be torn along a full perimeter surrounding the longitudinal axis, wherein the cap comprises a connecting band having a first end connected to the side wall of the body and a second end connected to the retaining portion of the tamper evident ring.

A combination of a closing cap (1′) for a container (2) and a neck (201) of the container (2), wherein the cap (1′) comprises a lateral wall (3) extending about an axis (Z) and a transversal wall (4) positioned at an end of the lateral wall (3), a separation line (5′) of the lateral wall (3) defining a retaining ring (301′), configured to remain anchored to the neck (201) and a closing element (302) to open or close the container (2). The retaining ring (301′) comprises a retaining portion (303), configured to engage internally with a locking ring (202) of the neck (201). The retaining ring (301′) comprises a joining portion (305) which allows the retaining ring (301′) to be joined to the closing element (302), a first connecting band and a second connecting band, and a tab positioned between the first connecting band and the second connecting band.

A closure for a container is provided with a top portion and a skirt depending from an outer periphery of the top portion. A generally circular rim extends downwards from the lower surface of the top portion. A liner is attached to the closure between an outer surface of the rim and an inner surface of the skirt. The liner is configured to provide a fluid tight seal for containers having varied neck dimensions and/or profiles. One or more projections extend into a space formed between the lower surface of the top portion, an inner surface of the skirt, and an outer surface of the rim, with the liner enveloping and being supported in the closure by the one or more projections.

The invention includes a plastic stopper comprising a closure shell and a tamper band. The tamper band is separably connected to the closure shell through at least a weakness line and includes a hoop positioned at a bottom edge of the tamper band. The hoop is configured to invert into and secured under a ring of the bottle neck, and the hoop comprising a least one protrusion. The hoop is configured to inverted into the stopper and extend in front of an inner wall of the tamper band. The inner wall comprises a recess extending into a thickness of the inner wall, and the is recess configured to receive the at least one protrusion of the hoop.
