A closure includes a flip-top structure and a tamper-evident band. The flip-top structure is restricted from being opened because it interfaces against an underlying protrusion, such as a thread of a container's neck. To open the flip-top structure the closure is rotated with respect to the container neck. When the closure is rotated with respect to the container neck, the closure is configured such that the tamper-evident band breaks before the flip-top structure is permitted to rotate to an open position. Thus, the closure prevents accessing the container's contents until after the tamper-evident band is broken even with the addition of a flip-top structure.

A package includes a container and closure. The container has a neck portion defining an opening. The container has an external thread formation and catch lugs. The closure fits to the neck portion for closing the opening. The closure includes first and second closure portions. The first closure portion includes a top wall portion and a skirt portion. The skirt portion depends from the top wall portion. The skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for mating engagement with the external thread formation. The second closure portion includes a tamper-evident band depending from and being partially detachably connected to the skirt portion by a frangible connection. An interior surface of the second closure portion includes catch teeth. The catch lugs mechanically catch and lock with a respective one of the catch teeth to prevent or inhibit the second closure portion from being removed during the opening of the container.

A closure with tamper evident features is disclosed.

A stopper for a container providing evidence of first opening includes an upper part with a protection cap closable on a pouring element and a ridged lower part with an upper hollow cylindrical portion disposed inside the pouring element and a lower cylindrical portion of larger diameter that is internally threaded. A frangible label is positioned between the protection cap, and a security ring is connected with the upper and lower parts with frangible bridges. An annular security crown is connected to the lower part of the stopper by frangible bridges and a cam arrangement, coaxially coupled between an outer surface of the upper hollow cylindrical portion and an inner surface of the pouring element, causes their translation and rotation. The pouring element has a duct passage and a coaxial island shutter which cooperates with a central hole in the upper hollow cylindrical portion of the lower part.

The invention described herein relates broadly to closure assemblies, and methods of use and manufacture thereof. More particularly, certain embodiments relate to assemblies and methods for closing an opening defined by a spout provided on a flexible container utilising a capping member having a plugging portion and a substantially fracturable retaining skirt. Embodiments provide may an adequate seal for the contents contained within bags against the significant pressure placed upon the closure by the often weighty and voluminous contents of the packaging. Furthermore, the closure may be easily and comfortably removable by a user whilst managing the handling of the bag.

The present invention relates to a dispensing closure for a fluid container with a spout for dispensing a fluid, said dispensing closure comprising a peripheral wall, a transverse wall and a toggle member, wherein said peripheral wall and said transverse wall are made of an elastic material. The dispensing closure also comprises a valve element.

Closure for a container mouth, the closure comprising: a cover portion (18) for covering at least a portion of the container mouth; a fastener portion (20) for engaging the container for fastening the closure to the container; and a peelable bracing portion (22) extending generally in a circumferential direction of or around an axis of the closure, the bracing portion overlapping at least partly the cover portion and the fastener portion, and configured to reinforce the closure by bearing, as shear stress at an interface between the bracing portion and at least one of the cover portion and fastener portion, support force in or between one or both of the cover portion and the fastener portion.

A closure (1) for a container, comprising: a first part (2); a second part (3) relatively movable to the first part (2) to move GC between a closed condition, in which an opening (21) of the closure (1) is covered, and an open condition, in which the opening (21) is uncovered; and a tamper evidence element (5) that is, on the one hand, connected to the second part (3) by a frangible connection (51) and that is, on the other hand, arranged to be withheld relative to the first part (2) such that, as the second part (3) moves with an opening motion relative to the first part (2) from the closed condition to the open condition, the opening motion ruptures the frangible connection (51). The tamper evidence element (5) is adapted to be actuated in order to rupture the frangible connection (51) independent of moving the second part (3) relative to the first part (2) by the opening motion, and the closure (1) further comprises a holding device (22) arranged on the first part (2) and adapted to secure the tamper evidence element (5) to the first part (2) after the frangible connection (51) has been ruptured.

The invention relates to an assembly that includes: a container consisting of a neck fitted with a clamping collar, and a capping device that includes: a lower ring (9), a cap (1); an articulation device (10) that connects the cap (1) to the lower ring (9); and a locking device configured to lock the cap (1) in the tilted open position, said locking device consisting of a strip (23) and a protruding portion (24) axially protruding from the bottom ring (9); the strip (23) and the protruding portion (24) being configured in such a way that, when the cap (1) is in the titled open position, the protruding portion (24) is held between the strip (23) and the locking clamping collar.

A closure capsule for closing a container, comprising: a cap (2) to be associated with the container and comprising a frangible mouth (20); a cutter (3) for opening said frangible mouth (20); a covering (4) protecting said cap (2) and said cutter (3) and comprising an intactness band (40); first toothed connection means (5) afforded on the covering (4) and on the cutter (3) and that make said cutter (3) and said covering (4) rotate integrally. The closure capsule is movable from a initial configuration to an operative configuration, wherein the intactness band is removed and the frangible mouth is broken. In the initial configuration, the cap, the cutter and the covering contribute to the definition of walls of a reservoir (8) for containing a product to be dropped into the container in the operative configuration.
