A container of a plastic material has a container body (1) for receiving a fluid and a neck part (7) adjoining the container body (1). The neck part (7) has at its free end a discharge opening for the fluid closed by a head part (11) and covered by a cap (19). The cap (19) interacts with individual blocking elements via a retaining ring (21), starting from an attachment position of the cap (19). Rotary motions in both directions of rotation are permitted along a predetermined path of travel. During a further screw-on motion beyond the predetermined path of travel, a part of second blocking elements completely passes over assigned first blocking elements, and in so doing the head part (11) is penetrated by the opening part of the cap (19). During a subsequent unscrewing motion of the cap (19) for the purpose of releasing the discharge opening, the retaining ring (21) is disengaged from the cap (19) and, in the process, is secured on the neck part (7) at least temporarily against rotation in the unscrewing direction by at least one blocking element.

A container including a base having a first flange extending from a side of the base; a lid having a second flange extending from a side of the lid, wherein the first flange and second flange are coupled together at a living hinge, a first perforation cut positioned on the first flange or the second flange, a plurality of bubbles or raised portions positioned on the flange which does not have the first perforation cut, wherein the bubbles or raised portions are positioned over the first perforation cut when the lid is closed on the base, wherein when the bubbles or raised portions are pressed down onto the first perforation cut, the first perforation cut is broken to separate the lid from the base, and wherein the bubbles or raised portions are deformed when they are depressed to provide a visual indication that the container has been opened.

A cap for accommodating a compound includes a body with an opening. The opening penetrates from an upper to a lower end portion of the body by a first length. A membrane seals a lower end portion of the opening. A lid is removably coupled and moveable relative to the body. The lid includes a protrusion extending downwardly from an interior surface of the lid by a second length greater than the first length. The opening accommodates a lower end portion of the protrusion. A spacer removably couples with the lid and interposes between the lid and the body. The spacer configurable between a first state in which the spacer is engaged with the lid, which prevents the protrusion from penetrating the membrane, and a second state in which the spacer is disengaged with the lid, which allows the protrusion of the lid to penetrate the membrane of the body.

A snap fitting, tamper evident overcap for drums and bung covers is described. The tamper evident strip is attached to a peripheral edge of the overcap, and it is removed by tearing along a vertical groove formed in the strip and then, by way of a grasping handle, rotationally pulling the strip so as to break the frangible bridge elements that previously held the strip to the overcap.

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.

A beverage-ingredient cartridge for storing and dispensing beverage ingredients. The cartridge includes a container for storing a first beverage ingredient, and a cap secured within an open upper end of the container that seals the open upper end. The cap includes a storage compartment for storing a second beverage ingredient having a base and a sidewall extending from a the base. A line of weakness defines a separable region of the base, and a column extends from the separable region of the base and is spaced apart from the sidewall. A plastic film is secured to the sidewall and to the column that seals the storage compartment. Upon application of a force to the column, the separable region separates from the base and the plastic film tears such that the storage compartment and container are open to the outside of the beverage-ingredient cartridge.

A container includes a container portion and a lid portion. The container portion presents a tab rim and internal threads. The lid portion presents a plurality of flexible removable tabs disposed around its outer periphery. The tabs are adapted to engage with and interlock with the container tab rim when the lid portion is pressed down on the container. The lid portion also has helical threads that are arranged to engage the helical threads of the container portion. At least one of the set of helical threads of the container portion or the set of helical threads of the lid portion are able to flex when the lid portion is pressed down upon the container portion. A closed container may be adapted for repeated use by removing the tabs and using the threaded lid portion to open and close the container.

A container including a base having a first flange extending from a side of the base; a lid having a second flange extending from a side of the lid, wherein the first flange and second flange are coupled together at a living hinge, a first perforation cut positioned on the first flange or the second flange, a plurality of bubbles or raised portions positioned on the flange which does not have the first perforation cut, wherein the bubbles or raised portions are positioned over the first perforation cut when the lid is closed on the base, wherein when the bubbles or raised portions are pressed down onto the first perforation cut, the first perforation cut is broken to separate the lid from the base, and wherein the bubbles or raised portions are deformed when they are depressed to provide a visual indication that the container has been opened.

A cap for accommodating a compound includes a body with an opening. The opening penetrates from an upper to a lower end portion of the body by a first length. A membrane seals a lower end portion of the opening. A lid is removably coupled and moveable relative to the body. The lid includes a protrusion extending downwardly from an interior surface of the lid by a second length greater than the first length. The opening accommodates a lower end portion of the protrusion. A spacer removably couples with the lid and interposes between the lid and the body. The spacer configurable between a first state in which the spacer is engaged with the lid, which prevents the protrusion from penetrating the membrane, and a second state in which the spacer is disengaged with the lid, which allows the protrusion of the lid to penetrate the membrane of the body.

A flip top cap for containers providing evidence of first opening includes a cover part and a pourer part coupled by a hinge arrangement and produced as a single piece. The cover part is rotatable around the hinge arrangement to be brought from a closed position engaging the pourer part to an open and separate position with respect to the pourer part, an engagement system engaging the cover part after rotation into a closed position on the pourer part. The engagement system is breakable and is arranged partly on the cover part and partly on the pourer part, and remains integral with at least one of the cover or pourer parts when they are broken at the first opening.
