the base portion (210) comprises engagement means (240), such that the screw cap (200) is configured to engage a tool (300) with at least one complementary engagement means in a process of screwing the cap onto the container with the complementary threaded neck portion.

A closure including an upper wall (25) defining an opening (36) and a cylindrical snap on pipe (30) depending from the upper wall. The pipe includes threads (34) designed to mate with external threads on a neck of the bottle. The threads on the pipe and threads on the neck of the bottle pass over each other when the closure is snapped onto the bottle during manufacture. The pipe includes a resistance recess (42) and a guidance recess (70). The resistance recess and the guidance recess accommodate a forcing element (50) on a shoulder (80) of the bottle and permit unscrewing of the closure. The walls (44, 46) of the resistance recess are preferably symmetrical.

The present invention provides an apparatus for detecting the presence or absence of an analyte in liquid sample, including: a collection chamber, including an opening for collecting a liquid sample; a testing element for testing the analyte in liquid sample; and a cover for covering the opening of the collection chamber; wherein the apparatus further includes a prompting device for prompting if the cover is covered to a specified location, and the prompting device shall at least includes a first element and a second element, the first element is in contact with the second element, wherein one element vibrates to produce a sound. In some preferred ways, the second element produces friction with the first element, to cause one of the elements to generate vibrations. The apparatus in the present invention can allow the prompting sound to be clear and loud.

A closure cap for closing the pouring opening of a container has a cylindrical threaded part with an open rim and an inner thread which can co-operate with an outer thread of a container neck of the container, a security ring which is designed to be held on a projection formed on the container neck, a plurality of security webs which releasably connect the security ring with the open rim, and a first retaining strip having a first and a second end, the first end being securely connected to the open rim of the threaded part and the second end being securely connected to the security ring. The closure cap comprises a second retaining strip having a third and a fourth end, the third end being securely connected to the open rim of the threaded part and the fourth end being securely connected to the security ring

A combination of a container made out of rolled laminated plastic or rolled laminated metal, combined with a child-resistant locking assembly between the container and a cap removably affixed to the container. The container includes a closed rear end, a front wall and a flexible sidewall between the closed rear end and the front. The cap includes a central post inserted into a dispensing opening in a dispensing nozzle of the contain to reduce the possibility of contents in the container seeping out of the dispensing nozzle after the sealing cap is affixed to the nozzle. In addition, a retaining cover is retained on the sealing cap and the retaining cover retains a concealed permanent magnet which enables the retaining cover to rest on a metal shelf so that the remainder of the container extends vertically upward from the retaining cover.

A snap-on/twist off closure (22), a package comprising the closure, e.g., a bottle in combination with the closure is disclosed. The closure includes an upper wall defining an opening and a cylindrical snap on pipe (30) depending from the upper wall. The pipe includes threads designed to mate with external threads on a neck of the bottle. The threads on the pipe and threads on the neck of the bottle pass over each other when the closure is snapped onto the bottle during manufacture. The pipe includes a resistance recess (42) and a guidance recess (70). A bottom rim of the pipe, the resistance recess and the guidance recess are in contact with a forcing element (50) on a shoulder of the bottle and guide the closure into positions permitting unscrewing of the closure.

A child-resistant container and closure, wherein the container include a base and an upstanding wall defining an inner volume of the container. The container has an open top for gaining access into the inner volume of the container. A cylindrical neck extends upwards from a periphery of the open top of the container. An outer surface of the neck has at least three lug threads that consecutively run along the circumference of the neck. A first lower pointer can be provided just below the neck which points upwards. A skirt of the closure has at least three male threads, wherein the at least three male threads of the closure can engage with the at least three lug threads of the container for securing the closure to the container. The outer surface of the skirt has a first upper pointer which points downwards, wherein the first upper pointer and the first lower pointer are positioned such that at least three male threads and the at least three lug threads can engage and disengage only when the first upper pointer is aligned to the first lower pointer.

A seal cover for sealing a filling tube of a container, includes a cover wall and a cover plate. An outer wall of the filling tube is provided with external threads; the seal cover includes an inner cover body and an outer cover body; the cover wall encloses a barrel structure, with one end sealed by the cover plate, and the other end being an open end; an inner surface of the cover wall is provided with internal threads matched with the external threads of the filling tube; a boss is formed on an end face of the open end of the inner cover body; the filling tube is provided with a wedge block; the external threads of the filling tube and the internal threads of the inner cover body are screwed with each other.

A container having a cylindrical pouring nozzle with an external thread and with a stop; a cap with an internal thread which can be screwed onto the external thread of the pouring nozzle as far as an end position in which the cap bears in the direction of rotation on the stop of the pouring nozzle; and a seal made of a material which is softer than a material of the cap and a material of the pouring nozzle. The seal is fixedly connected to the cap and has a first sealing element which, with the cap screwed on, is arranged in a radial direction between the cap and pouring nozzle and bears on a lateral surface portion of the pouring nozzle.

An improved snap-on/twist off closure which is very durable. The invention is also directed to a package comprising the closure, e.g., a bottle in combination with the closure. The closure includes an upper wall defining an opening and a cylindrical snap on pipe depending from the upper wall. The pipe includes threads designed to mate with external threads on a neck of the bottle. The threads on the pipe and threads on the neck of the bottle pass over each other when the closure is snapped onto the bottle during manufacture. The pipe includes a resistance recess and a guidance recess. The resistance recess and the guidance recess accommodate a forcing element on a shoulder of the bottle and permit unscrewing of the closure
