A dispensing closure system includes an upper closure portion and a lower closure portion including an axial flow conduit and a vent conduit. The upper closure portion is axially movable relative to lower closure portion between shipping and dispensing positions. A seal is disposed on the lower closure portion over the flow and vent conduits. A peripheral spacing strip is removably secured to the upper closure portion and engages with either the lower closure or the outside of the container to prevent movement. A piercing probe includes piercing elements in alignment with the flow and vent conduits for piercing the seal. In the shipping position, the piercing elements are spaced from the seal. However, when the spacing strip is removed and the upper closure portion is axially moved to the dispensing position, the piercing elements pierce the seal to open the flow conduit and the vent conduit.

The container with a lid and threaded closure mechanism includes a receptacle having a mouth surrounded by a thread, a lid, a sealing ring and a closure mechanism formed by a disc with a hollow interior and a perimetral tubular skirt provided with an engagement configuration complementary to the thread of the receptacle. The closure mechanism surrounds the lid and holds it against the mouth of the receptacle by means of a threaded attachment between the engagement configuration of the closure mechanism and the thread of the receptacle, assuring proper hermetic closure of the lid with the receptacle in cooperation with the sealing ring. The lid and the closure mechanism have mutually engaging elements with a complementary non-circular geometry and size, with both elements being tightly fitted preventing relative rotation of the closure mechanism with respect to the lid.

A container with a closure includes an opening defined by a neck having a central axis. The closure includes a lid and a body. The body defines a conduit between first and second ends, the first end defining an open mouth. The lid is movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, in which the lid covers the open mouth in the closed configuration. The body includes an external face, and the lid includes an internal face intended to overlap at least a portion of the external face when the lid is in the closed configuration. The body is attached to the container with the open mouth in communication with the opening of the container, and the body and lid cooperate with one another to provide snap-fitting engagement therebetween to releasably secure the lid to the body in the closed configuration when the body is attached to the container.

A container that seals in a volume of material is provided. The container may be routinely opened, closed and material may be removed or added. A removable plate and a base define a maximum volume available for material when the container is sealed. A screen may be disposed between the plate and the base. The screen may optionally be comprised within the base, adhered to the base, or removable from the base. Features for enabling manipulation of the plate and/or screen are optionally provided.

A container includes a body and a lid of plastics construction. The body defines a chamber having an open mouth with a central axis, and the lid is intended to cover the open mouth. The body and lid are configured to cooperate with one another to provide snap-fitting engagement therebetween, in order to releasably attach the lid to the body. The body has an external face, and the lid includes an internal face intended to overlap at least a portion of the external face of the body when the lid is releasably attached thereto and the lid is configured for sealing engagement with the body.
