Closure and Lid and Method of Forming Closure and Lid
An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container can be consumed. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be configured to lock into place on the recess in both the closed position and the opened position.

INDUCTION HEAT SEAL LINER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
Induction heat-seal liner that allows a visual inspection of the product in the container to be made through the seal, and/or an aroma from the product to be detected through the seal, while the seal remains secured to the container to protect against leakage or contamination. In one embodiment, the liner has an intermediate metal-foil layer having a central opening, and a central liner portion, aligned in a thickness direction with a central opening of a metal-foil layer, comprises one or more materials or spaces that provide visibility into and/or aroma penetration from the open mouth of the container. In another embodiment, a dual heat-seal liner having a dispensing aperture is provided that heat seal bonds to both the cap and container to form a non-removable closure assembly that protects the metal-foil layer from degradation by the product being dispensed.

Varialbe pour flow device
A cap for a variable pour flow device is configured to close an opening of a container holding a liquid when assembled with the container. The cap includes a spout in communication with an interior of the container when the cap is assembled with the container. The cap is further configured to provide a first fluid flow in which fluid flows through a first passage and the spout when the container with the cap assembled thereto is tilted from an upright position toward the spout to an intermediate degree. The cap is also configured to provide a second, greater fluid flow in which fluid flows through the first passage, a larger second passage, which is spaced from the first passage, and the spout when the container with the cap assembled thereto is tilted further toward the spout from the intermediate degree.

BREATHER CANISTER FOR CRANKCASE
A breather canister for a crankcase of an engine is provided. The breather canister may comprise: an outer housing and a diffuser. The outer housing may comprise a wall and a floor that cooperate to define an interior chamber, the outer housing comprising an inlet coupled to the floor and defining a first passageway. The diffuser may comprise a stem defining a second passageway, the stem being coupled with the inlet such that the passageway of the inlet and the passageway of the stem are in fluid communication with each other. The wall of the outer housing may define a vent aperture that is in fluid communication with the interior chamber. The diffuser may define an upper aperture and a lower aperture that are each in fluid communication with the passageway of the stem and the interior chamber.
CAP LINER
A venting cap liner has a bottom surface facing an annular bottle lip surrounding an open top end of a bottle neck, and a top surface facing an inner top wall of a closure cap, the liner being configured to provide a gas-permeable but liquid-impervious seal that is resistant to rupture when a downwardly directed torque is applied in a thickness direction of the liner body to compression seal the liner body between the annular bottle lip and the inner top wall of the cap. In one embodiment, a two-layer liner body includes a bottom layer of a mineral-filler based polyolefin (MFP) material that is substantially liquid-impervious while allowing release of gas evolving from a liquid product in the bottle, and a top layer comprising a polyolefin (PO) foam material having a grooved upper surface with channels facing the inner top wall of the cap, and a plurality of through-holes extending in a thickness direction, wherein the layers of the liner body allow gas, evolving from a product in the sealed bottle, to permeate out the open top end of the bottle neck, through the MFP material, the through-holes of the PO foam material and along the channels to flow out of an area between an exterior surface of the bottle neck and a peripheral cap flange.
SPLASH GUARD FOR VENTED CONTAINERS
The present disclosure provides a splash guard to minimize potential contact between the chemical product and a vent membrane during transport and/or transfer of containers, thereby resulting in preservation of the integrity of a vent membrane during transport and/or transfer of a chemical product. The splash guard is affixed to the fitment and so can be removed from the interior of the container prior to transfer of the chemical product out of the container. The splash guard may be used with fitments of varied shapes, sizes and/or structures, and with containers of varied shapes, sizes and/or structures. The splash guard is easy and inexpensive to manufacture and easy to install, e.g., by snapping onto a ring (lower perimeter) of a fitment. For example, the splash guard covers the entire circumference of the neck of a container, and is formed of a moldable material that provides rigidity.
Closure and Lid and Method of Forming Closure and Lid
An example lid assembly may include a lid and a slider. The lid may further include a guide channel configured to receive the slider, and the channel may limit the lateral movement of the slider. The guide channel may further include a pair of air vents. The slider may be configured to slide along the lid, from a closed position where the slider covers the opening and to an opened position in which the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container may be released. The slider may be configured to lock into place in both the closed position and the opened position.
