A tamper evident assembly for attachment to a medical connector including a tamper evident cap having an end cap and a tip cap movably and removably disposed in an operative position within the end cap. A retaining structure on the end cap and a retention structure on the tip cap are cooperatively structured to define an interruptive engagement and unidirectional passage of the retention structure over said retaining structure, when disposing the tip cap in the operative position. The interruptive engagement also defines an abutting engagement of said retaining structure with said retention structure, wherein the abutting engagement is preventative of passage of said retention structure over said retaining structure, concurrent to disposition of said tip cap out of said operative position. An included flow controller regulates fluid flow through a connector attached to the tamper evident cap and may establish a path of fluid flow with an attached conduit and the attached connector.

A method of applying a lid (1) onto a neck (9) of a container (10), the lid (1) having a side wall (3) extending around an axis and an end wall (2) extending transversely to said axis, comprises the following steps: —positioning the lid (1) onto the neck (9); —exerting on the end wall (2) a force directed towards the container (10), so as to level the lid (1) on the neck (9); —screwing the lid (1) onto the neck (9) by rotating the lid (1) in a screwing direction.

The present invention relates to a novel beverage container and associated mechanism and process for removing a cap from a closure structure in the container, filling the container, securing the cap, and dispensing the container. The beverage container comprises a compostable shell, a cap, a closure structure, and a beverage bag,

A device for placing threaded lids on containers includes a holder for lids to be placed and a mechanism for retaining the lids stored in the holder. The retaining mechanism has a predetermined retaining position in which the lids stored in the holder are retained and a release position in which one of the lids stored in the holder is dispensed. The device also includes a lid positioner, which places a threaded lid on a container through a first rotation about a first axis when the positioner is in the placing position. When the position is in the receiving position, the positioner causes the retaining mechanism to change from the predetermined retaining position to the release position through rotation about the first axis.

A double-headed tube structure and a double-headed tube structure are disclosed. The method includes the steps: a first tube head being sealedly welded to a first end portion of a tube body using a first mold, and then the first mold being removed; a second mold being inserted through the first tube head to a second end portion the tube body, the second end portion, an annular retaining member and a second tube head being sealedly welded together, and then the second mold being removed. The structure is that the second tube head is sealdedly welded to the tube body through the annular retaining member. The first and second tube heads are sealedly welded at both ends of the tube body by a two-step forming process. Through the annular retaining member, the tube body is not deformed in the two-step forming process, thereby improving the welding and sealing effect.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to domed metal containers, and more specifically to pressurized metallic food containers with liquid nitrogen wells and various closure mechanisms. In some embodiments, the metallic food containers are thin-walled aluminum and are pressurized using liquid nitrogen to maintain strength and integrity. The container can have a nitrogen well to receive liquid nitrogen and keep the liquid nitrogen away from the food stuff packaged in the container. In various embodiments, the metallic food container comprises a domed bottom portion shaped and sized to nest with a food stuff packaged in the container. In some embodiments, the container is sealed with a tear away lid, a screw-on lid, or a metallic end closure double seamed to the container.

The present application discloses a vacuum sealed container, including a container body, a container lid, a vacuum generator, at least one magnifier and an indicator. The container body includes a first wall and a bottom surface, wherein the first wall and the bottom surface define an accommodation space. The container lid is coupleable to the container body. The vacuum generator is coupled to the container lid to evacuate fluid from the accommodation space. The at least one magnifier is coupled to the container body. The indicator is coupled to the container. A method for using the aforementioned vacuum sealed container is also disclosed.

A lid detecting system includes a first lid screwing device, a second lid screwing device, a scanning device and a removing device. The first lid screwing device is configured for positioning a lid of a container on a body of the container and rotationally tightening the lid of the container to the body of the container by a pre-screwing torque. The second lid screwing device is configured for rotationally tightening the lid of the container to the body of the container by a screwing torque. The scanning device is disposed between the first lid screwing device and the second lid screwing device and configured for scanning a top surface of the lid of the container so as to obtain a detecting value. The removing device is configured for removing the container when the detecting value is greater than a predetermined value.

An interactive beverage container includes a beverage container that defines an opening which may be sealed by a closure. The closure may further include circuity that is configured to transmit data to a mobile device. When the closure is in a closed configuration with the closure attached to the opening, the circuitry does not transmit data to the mobile device and when the closure is in an open configuration with the closure removed from the opening, the circuitry transmits data to the mobile device. The data may include nutritional information, marketing materials, videos, track loyalty programs, and/or provide games or contests.

A gripper for capping machines intended for screwing a cap onto a container adapted to being capped, in particular has a threaded neck for being capped. The gripper has a body capable of revolving on the axis of rotation, and at least two levers adapted to taking at least two different positions. The first position in which it is possible to insert a cap between the gripper levers and the second position in which the cap is locked between the gripper levers at least rotationally. At least one moving guiding shackle hinge-is mounted to the body and at least one lever which is slidingly mounted to the gripper body by means of a guide enabling movement of the lever in a horizontal direction, perpendicular to the axis of the gripper, and the end of the guiding shackle is slidingly and rotatably mounted to the at least one lever.
