There is described a spout for a package having a designated pour opening and being filled with a pourable product. The spout comprises at least a collar extending along a longitudinal axis, carrying a pouring outlet at a first axial end and an inlet opening for the pourable product at a second axial end and delimiting a flow channel for the pourable product extending between the pouring outlet and the inlet opening a closing element configured to interrupt a fluidic connection between the pouring outlet and the inlet opening. The closing element is interposed between the inlet opening and the pouring outlet and is rupturably fixed to an inner surface of the collar.

A flow control insert (102) for a dispensing closure is provided. The insert has a plurality of dispensing slits (that define petals. (120,122,124,126). The petals are formed in an open position and are closed upon assembly of the insert into a dispensing closure.

A closure for a container, and more specifically a closure that is selectively openable and/or lockable providing, for example, one or more child resistant opening features is disclosed.

A beverage container for drinking including a base portion for holding a beverage, a lid portion that is selectively attachable to the base. The lid portion includes first spout through which a beverage in the container may be consumed, a second spout through which the beverage may be consumed, and a cover assembly configured to selectively cover and expose the first and second spouts.

The present invention provides a spout unit for dispensing beverage in a beverage container, including a spout and a reinforcement unit overmolded with the spout. The reinforcement unit includes a device for reinforcing interlocking of the reinforcement unit with the spout, for example shut off holes and/or depressions, at least a pair of tabs, and one or more outwardly facing longitudinal grooves. This invention also relates to a lid assembly including the spout unit, and a beverage container assembly including such a lid assembly. Furthermore, this invention provides a method for manufacturing the spout unit.

A pourable jar lid designed to removably engage with a jar, such as a mason jar, may include a lid body having a top surface and a lid lip extending away from the top surface, the lid lip having interior body threads thereon, wherein the interior body threads are designed to removably engage with threads on a neck of the jar; a pour spout extending upward from the top surface of the lid body, the pour spout including a raised wall defining a channel extending through the lid body, wherein an inner surface of pour spout has spout threads; and a pour spout cap hingeably attached to the top surface of the lid body, the pour spout cap including cap threads designed to removably engage with the spout threads, wherein the spout threads may have a thread gap therein.

There is described a lid-spout assembly for a package. The lid-spout assembly comprises at least a spout having a collar carrying a pouring outlet, a coupling ring arranged around a portion of the collar, a lid and a hinge element hinging the lid to the coupling ring. The lid is controllable between at least a closed configuration and an open configuration. The lid-spout assembly comprises an interaction assembly partially associated to the collar and partially associated to the lid and being designed such to determine a threshold force needed to be exceeded, in use, in order to control the lid from the closed configuration to the open configuration.

A spout is for a package having a designated pour opening and being filled with a pourable product. The spout comprises a collar carrying a pouring outlet, an inlet opening and a closing element controllable between an active position in which the closing element interrupts a fluidic connection between the pouring outlet and the inlet opening and an inactive position in which the closing element is configured to allow a fluidic connection between the pouring outlet and the inlet opening. The closing element comprises a peripheral portion contacting prior to a first control of the closing element from the active position to the inactive position an inner surface of the collar along an initial contact portion. The inner surface comprises a main surface portion extending from the initial contact portion towards the pouring outlet and an auxiliary surface portion extending from the initial contact portion to the inlet opening.

A condiment bottle includes a container and cap assembly. The cap assembly includes a securing part releasably connected to the container, a nozzle secured to the container by the securing part, and a closure part connected to both the securing part and the nozzle. The closure part is configured to move along a longitudinal axis of the condiment bottle from a closed position where the closure part sealingly engages the nozzle to an intermediate position where the closure part is spaced from and covering the top of the nozzle. The closure part is further configured to pivotally move from the intermediate position to an open position where the closure part is located along a sidewall of the nozzle.

A cap for a container with a hinged lid includes a first part and a second part that are snap-associated. The first part has a lower cylindrical portion and an upper cylindrical portion, and the second part includes a covering lid having an annular portion and a lid portion and a hinge arrangement therebetween, which includes a strip arranged in a window opening formed in the side surface of the lid portion and open towards the annular portion. The strip has weakened foldable end areas connected to the annular and lid portions, and a folding invitation line that divides the strip into two portions with a central recess therebetween. Folding invitation lines are also provided between the two portions of the strip and an end edge of the opening in the lid portion.
