Container for medical and/or pharmaceutical products
The disclosure pertains to a container for storing medical and/or pharmaceutical products. The container includes a plastic container body comprising a side wall, a base and an opening defining a storage volume, a flange formed on the container body and configured to receive a connecting element of a cap provided with a tamper-evident mechanism, and an active insert placed within the container body. This container is an improved container for the storage of products. The disclosure also pertains to a sealed package comprising this container.
Foilless Caps
Disclosed herein are foilless caps. In an implementation, the foilless caps provide sealing of the container without the use of a foil and are environmentally friendly. In an implementation, the foilless caps include tamper evident mechanisms to provide evidence of prior or attempted use. In an implementation, the foilless caps further include tether mechanisms to prevent loss of the cap after opening. In an implementation, the foilless caps provide sealing and resealing of the container with enough closure to maintain freshness. In an implementation, the foilless caps provide a non-backoff feature which may include audible and tactile indications to the user that the container is closed. In an implementation, the foilless caps may provide mechanisms to hold an opened and tethered cap away from the container opening during use.
Fluid container closure
A closure (1) for a fluid container includes a top deck (11), a skirt (13) extending from the top deck (11) in an axial direction (−z), wherein the skirt (13) comprises a screw thread (14), slits (17) in the skirt (13), an elongated stabilizing section (15) and retaining means on the inside of the skirt (13) for engagement of a collar (36B) of the neck finish (31) of the fluid container (3). The closure includes torque engagement means (12) arranged on the outside of the top deck (11) for interacting with a torqueing member during fitting of the closure (1).
Bottle and cap arrangement
A bottle assembly that includes a bottle with a finish having a mouth for containing an E-liquid. The mouth of the bottle is sealed with a plug having an anti-drip well. The anti-drip well sized to prevent inadvertent spillage of the E-liquid contained within the bottle. An annular cap protrusion of the plug can engage with a channel on an upper portion of the bottle to attach the plug with the upper portioned with the mouth of the bottle. A lower channel edge can include a notch that can be used as a wedge to incrementally remove the plug from the mouth of the bottle without damage thereto.
CLOSURE WITH FLEXIBLE HINGE
A closure for a container includes a closure shell having a first interior surface, a tamper evident band having a second interior surface, and a flexible hinge. The flexible hinge includes a first end, a second end, and a gathered portion located between the first and second ends. The first end is coupled to the closure shell and the second end is coupled to the tamper evident band. At least a portion of the gathered portion extends radially inward with respect to the interior surface of the closure shell. The flexible hinge permits the closure shell to be opened and remain tethered to the tamper evident band. The closure may further include a retaining bead or ratchets to keep the tamper evident band attached to the container.
Cap with reduced thickness
A cap (1) for a container comprises: a body (2), configured to be coupled and uncoupled relative to the neck of the container and including an internally threaded side wall (21), which extends around a longitudinal axis (A), and a transverse wall (22); a tamper evident ring (3), including a retaining element (31), configured to engage a locking member on the neck of the container, and a joining portion (32), where the tamper evident ring (3) is joined to the cap body (2), the joining portion (32) being configured to be torn along a perimeter surrounding the longitudinal axis (A) in response to a movement of the body (2) away from the tamper evident ring (3), wherein the cap (1) comprises a connecting window (4) including a connecting band (40) and a film (400) which is thinner than the connecting band (40).
TETHERED PLASTIC STOPPER
This invention is an improved stopper for a bottle with a tethered plastic stopper where its closure shell remains attached to its tamper band after bottle opening. The tethered plastic stopper includes a closure shell that remains attached to its tamper band after the bottle is opened through a linking feature. The invention also includes a method for making a stopper.
COMBINATION OF A CAP FOR A CONTAINER AND A NECK OF THE CONTAINER
Described is 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 separation line (5′) extends about the axis (Z) and is circumferentially interrupted so as to leave the retaining ring (301) and the closing element (302) joined together. The retaining ring (301′) comprises a retaining portion (303), configured to engage internally with a locking ring (202) of the neck (201), the latter projecting from an outer surface of the neck (201) and extending in a direction parallel to the axis (Z) between an upper end (202c) and a lower end (202b). 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 (306) and a second connecting band (307), which connect the joining portion (305) to the retaining portion (303), and a tab (308) positioned between the first connecting band (306) and the second connecting band (307). The connecting bands (306; 307) are made by an incision line (7′) which comprises a first lateral stretch (702′) and a second lateral stretch (703′) wherein the first lateral stretch (702′) and the second lateral stretch (703′), when the closing element (302) is in a closed condition, are arranged in such a way that when the closing element (302) is in an open condition and the connecting bands (306, 307) keep the closing element (302) connected to the retaining ring (301′), the tab (308) can rest on the neck (201) beyond the upper end (202c) of the locking ring (202) towards the dispensing opening (203).
Thread support member for closures
A closure (100) comprising a top wall portion (102), a thread support member (108) extending from said top wall portion disposed with a thread (124), and at least one discrete recess (112) provided on said thread support member. The discrete recess may extend below a surface of and through said thread support member so as to form a fenestration, wherein said fenestration is configured for passage of flowable matter. The thread support member may be provided with a subregion limited by ends of said thread wherein said at least one discrete recess is provided at least partially within said subregion. The discrete recess may be formed as a three dimensional marking.
FLUID CONTAINER CLOSURE
A closure (1) for a fluid container includes a top deck (11), a skirt (13) extending from the top deck (11) in an axial direction (−z), wherein the skirt (13) comprises a screw thread (14), slits (17) in the skirt (13), an elongated stabilizing section (15) and retaining means on the inside of the skirt (13) for engagement of a collar (36B) of the neck finish (31) of the fluid container (3). The closure includes torque engagement means (12) arranged on the outside of the top deck (11) for interacting with a torqueing member during fitting of the closure (1).
