A closure includes first and second closure portions. The first closure portion includes a polymeric top wall portion and an annular skirt portion. The skirt portion includes exterior and interior surfaces. The interior surface includes an internal thread formation for mating engagement with an external thread formation of a container and at least one rotation-inhibiting projection. The rotation-inhibiting projection is located to contact the external thread formation. The rotation-inhibiting projection is in the general shape of the letter C prior to engagement with the external thread formation of the container. The second closure portion includes a polymeric tamper-evident band.

A closure with a top panel, a skirt extending downward and away from the top panel, frangible connections that connect the skirt to a tamper band. The frangible connections provide a visual indication, when broken, that the closure has been opened. The tamper band includes a sidewall coupled to the frangible connections, the sidewall including a recess in which a pivotable engagement structure is displaced while the closure is applied to a container.

A spout assembly includes a spout and a cap. The cap includes an inner ring having an outer peripheral surface provided with a first region with a first outer diameter and a second region with a second outer diameter. The spout includes a side wall having an inner peripheral surface provided with a first region having a first inner diameter and a second region having a second inner diameter. When the cap is threadably engaged with the spout, the first region of the inner ring is in close contact with the first region of the side wall of the spout throughout the circumference, and the second region of the inner ring is in close contact with the second region of the side wall of the spout throughout the circumference.

A flip-top closure includes first and second closure polymeric portions. The first closure portion includes a top wall portion, a skirt portion and a tamper-evident feature being detachably connected to the annular skirt. The second closure portion includes a top wall portion, a skirt portion with an internal thread formation and an upwardly-extending locking tab, and a tamper-evident band. The first and second closure portions are attached via a hinge. The closure moves to an open position, resulting in the tamper-evident feature being detached from the remainder of the first closure portion and remaining adjacent to the skirt portion of the second closure portion in which the upwardly-extending locking tab assists in preventing or inhibiting the tamper-evident feature from falling off of the closure after the closure has been opened.

The embodiments described herein are directed to a high density polyethylene cap with various flex points that act as hinges or stretch points, whereby the cap behaves similar to a low density polyethylene cap when installed on a bottle neck

A safety capsule for a container, comprising: a threaded closure cap (2) for closing the container; a cover (3) for said cap (2), said cover (3) comprising a base (30) and a lateral wall (31) that extends from said base (30); said base (30) and said lateral wall (31) overlying said cap (2); a press-fit engagement means (5) that enables transmission of motion from the cover (3) to the cap (2) for unscrewing said cap (2); means (6) preventing extraction of the cover (3) from the cap (2), said means (6) comprising:
a) a strip (60), being part of the cover (3), bent towards the inside of the cover (3);
b) a stopping abutment (61), being part of the cap (2), intended to abut said strip (60) at least whenever there is an attempt to pull out the cap (2) from the cover (3).

A container closure and methods are disclosed for providing visible evidence of removal of the closure from a container after installation by a manufacturer. The closure includes tamper evidence bridges comprising small tabs of material that extend from a bottom-most edge of the closure to a tamper evidence ledge of the container. The bridges break when the closure is rotated relative to the tamper evidence ledge, thereby providing readily visible evidence that the closure has been removed after installation by the manufacturer. In some embodiments, a tamper evidence closure engages with threads of a finish of the container. Cam locks around the perimeter of the tamper evidence closure are permanently flared by cams on the finish during loosening of the closure. Outward flaring of the cam locks provides a visual indication that the tamper evidence closure has been loosened after installation by a manufacturer.

The invention is directed to a closure (1) having a base (3) with a top deck (4) and a therewith adjacent skirt (5) extending in an axial direction (z) comprising an internal thread (6). The closure (1) is comprising a sealing arrangement (16) with an inner seal (18) extending in the axial direction (z) from the top deck (4). The inner seal (18) is having an inner annular sealing surface (29) arranged radially inward with respect to an outer seal (17) and pointing in an outward direction. The sealing arrangement further comprises an outer seal (17), which in its cross-section comprises a base section (20) extending in the axial direction (z) from the top deck (4) and an end section (21), which is bend inwardly with respect to the course of the base section (20) in the direction of the inner seal (18) and which terminates in a sealing surface (22) pointing in an inward direction.

The invention relates to a cartridge (1) which is suitable to cooperate with the neck (3) of a container (5) in order to allow a product contained in the cartridge (1) to flow out into said container (5), said cartridge (1) including at least one reservoir (7); moveable sealing means (13) to close the opening (9) of the reservoir (7), and a socket (23) wherein the moveable sealing means (13) comprises at least one ring (19, 21) configured to cooperate with the neck (3) of the container (5) in order to allow the moveable sealing means (13) to slide along the lower wall (11) of the reservoir (7) by a pressure exerted on said ring (19, 21) by the neck (3) of the container (5) causing the opening of the one or more flaps (17) and further wherein at least one ring (19, 21) of the moveable sealing means (13) comprises holding lugs (25) configured to cooperate with an internal relief (27) of the socket (23) in order to maintain the moveable sealing means (13) in position inside the socket (23), closing the opening (9) of the reservoir (7).
