A capsule includes a cap pivotally attached to a base by means of a hinge, and a tamper-evident device. The tamper-evident device includes a radial lug; an orifice for housing the lug, one contour of which is closed by a tongue, a first end of which is connected by a frangible bridge and a second end of which is connected by a flexible bridge, so that when the cap is opened for the first time, a retention face for retaining the lug hooks onto the tongue and causes the breakage of the frangible bridge and the pivoting of the tongue about the flexible bridge. The retention face for retaining the lug extends radially so that the tongue pivots about a radial axis.

A head stand container closure is provided. The closure comprises a base, and a lid having a top plate upon which the closure rests in use. The base is attachable to a container and the lid is attached or attachable to the base. The closure comprises an internal tamper-evident member comprising a part which is initially spaced from the lid top plate and upon first opening of the closure the part moves to or towards the top plate when the head is in a head down orientation.

A bung stopper closure includes a bung stopper and a sealing cap for bung-type containers, which is particularly suitable for machine closing of bung-type barrels in automatic filling plants for liquids.

The invention relates to a plastic container having a tamper evident lid and methods therefor, and particularly to a plastic container having a two-component pull-tab attached to part of the lid at its edge which is used to pull the lid off the container, where the pull-tab has a frangible break line where the act of pulling the pull-tab breaks an outer section away from an inner locked down tab, and once the frangible section is broken, provides evidence that the container was opened, since both parts of the pull-tab are now separated and the outer one bent upwards at an angle.

A closure (100) for a container (104) comprises a base (106) and a spout (110) disposed upon a mouth of said container (104) and defining a void space (134) between them; a cap (118) which comprises an inner body (124) concentrically disposed within an outer body (122), said cap configured to be disposed on said base (106) so as to seal therewith; and at least one tamper-evident device (136) extending between and locking together said cap (118) and said base (106), said tamper-evident device (136) comprising a flattened member extending from an edge of said inner body member (124) over at least one frangible link (140) and engaging said base (106) such that when the cap (118) is opened said at least one frangible link (140) ruptures, said tamper-evident device (136) consequently falling into and being partially obscured by said void space (134).

A cover for a container that includes a lid portion and a collar element. The lid portion having a main body section surrounded by a peripheral sealing shoulder. The collar element having a peripheral collar sealing shoulder that includes a collar groove and wherein the lid portion is connected to the collar portion through a hinge element. The lid portion, collar element and hinge portion are formed as a unitary structure and the lid portion articulates from an open positon in which it is spaced apart from the collar element to a closed position wherein the peripheral bead sealing shoulder of the lid portion engages with the peripheral collar sealing shoulder of the collar element.

A container includes first and second shells sealingly engageable with each other. Each shell includes a rim, where the rim of each shell includes a rim bead having an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall and the outer wall of the rim bead of the second shell frictionally engage the inner wall and the outer wall, respectively, of the rim bead of the first shell to sealingly engage the rims. The container also includes hinge panels each extending outwardly from one of the rims of the first and second shells. The hinge panels are hingedly connected to each another along a hinge line to form a foldable section that includes the hinge panels and the hinge line. The foldable section has a frangible line formed on each of the hinge panels, where the frangible line extends transversely between the hinge panels and transects the hinge line.

A flip-top dispensing closure is provided. The closure includes a base and a lid. The base is attachable to a container neck and includes an integral spout. The lid includes a fixing ring and a cap. The fixing ring is attachable to the base and the cap is hingedly attached to the ring. The closure is provided with tamper-evident parts including first and second parts which are initially frangibly connected to each other within the lid, and upon first opening of the cap, the first and second parts are separated, one of the parts being retained by the cap and the other of the parts dropping onto the base.

A pouring element for a package having a base body, a polyhedrally formed flange, the flange inner surfaces of which converge in face abutments, for joining to a package sleeve and at least one holding element projecting on the inside of the flange for operatively connecting to a mandrel of a packaging machine, as well as a pouring element with polyhedrally formed gable surfaces, which are correspondingly joined to the polyhedrally formed flange. Provision is made for the holding element to be formed as a rounding in the area of the face abutments on the inside of the flange, in order to prevent the pouring element from becoming damaged during the whole joining process with the package sleeve when putting the pouring element onto, holding it on and removing it from the mandrel and additionally in order to guarantee a secure and precise hold.

Various embodiments include a tamper evident container including a container base, a lid, and a tamper evident tab. The container base may include an inner chamber for holding one or more added substances and a container opening for accessing the inner chamber from outside the container base. The lid may be sized to securely close the container opening. The lid may prevent access to the inner chamber through the container opening from outside the container base without at least partially removing the lid from the container opening. The tamper evident tab may be pivotally secured to the lid and attached to the container base. Separation of the tamper evident tab from the container base may provide an indication that the tamper evident container has been opened.
