A package includes a container and a closure coupled to the container to control release of product therefrom. The closure includes a closure cap coupled to the container and a flip-top cap coupled to the closure cap and configured to pivot relative to the closure cap between a closed position and an opened position.

A one-piece polymeric closure includes first and second closure portions. The first closure portion includes a first polymeric top wall portion and a first polymeric annular skirt portion. The first annular skirt includes a first set of splines on an inner surface thereof and knurls formed on an exterior surface thereof. The second closure portion includes a second polymeric top wall portion with a pull ring and a second polymeric annular skirt portion The second annular skirt portion includes a second set of splines on an outer surface thereof, an internal thread formation, and a locking ratchet band. The first and second sets of splines are configured to interact with each other when the polymeric closure is in a closed position. The polymeric closure opens by flipping the first closure portion with respect to the second closure portion via a hinge.

An improved and safer opening mechanism for a container, such as a pressurized container, is provided that includes a synchronous relationship between a safety cap and a sealable plate, such that the safety cap covers the sealable plate when it is removed from the container.

The present invention relates to the technical field of packaging technology. One or a plurality of membranes is to be sealingly attached to an inner surface of a container making use of a small number of working steps. For this purpose, a tool comprising a force transmission unit (10), a deflection unit (20) and a positioning element (30) is suggested. The force transmission unit (10) is coupled to the deflection unit (20) and the positioning element (30), so that a force can be transmitted from the force transmission unit (10) to the deflection unit (20) and/or the positioning element (30). At least a portion of the deflection unit (20) is deflectable with a radial component. The positioning element (30) is adapted to allow a flow of gas therethrough, so as to pick up and hold the membrane (33).

The present application relates to a system for dispensing fluid. The system includes a flexible container including a spout that is in fluid communication with an interior region of the container. The system includes a cap configured to be mounted to the spout. The cap includes an opening that leads to a membrane and a first retention mechanism located in the opening. The system includes a piercing tube having a first end configured to puncture the membrane and a second end configured to be connected to a dispensing tube. The piercing tube includes a seal bead and a second retention mechanism. The piercing tube is inserted into the opening of the cap such that the first end punctures the membrane, the first and second retention mechanisms engage each other to retain the piercing tube in the cap, and the seal bead sealingly engages the cap.

Device including a cap having a skirt provided with at least one thread element and with at least one relief that is separate from the thread element. A container provided with a neck having at least one screw thread in which the thread element can engage, at least one housing, the relief on the cap being configured to snap-fit in the housing at the end of a movement for pre-positioning the cap on the neck. The preferably has at least one ramp having an opposite slope and at least one space for receiving the thread element in the pre-positioned position, situated between a passage for introducing the thread element into the screw thread and an upright at least partially delimiting said housing.

A pouch container packaging body and a pouch container package with which a container body can be more reliably opened. The packaging body includes a container body including a top sheet covering the container body at a top side and a spout fixed to an outer surface of the top sheet and including a dispensing space extending axially. The spout includes a fixed portion on the top sheet, a rotating portion to rotate the fixed portion, and a cutting portion to cut the top sheet. The top sheet includes a flat portion where the fixed portion is fixed. The cutting portion is positioned away from the flat portion in an initial state and moves while rotating in a direction from an external surface to an internal surface of the flat portion in response to rotation of the rotating portion, and cuts the flat portion.

A reusable pour spout system that may be attached to different container types to dispense different substances, including course and fine granular materials and liquids. A port component has a proximal tubular end and a flange that is larger than the tubular end. The flange further includes a hole-cutting structure adapted to pierce the wall of a container, with a cutting edge adapted to form a hole in the container when the port component is rotated by a user after piercing. This positions the flange within the container with the tubular end exposed to receive a nut that traps the wall of the container between the nut and the flange. A cap is provided to seal off the port. The tubular end of the port component, the nut, and the cap may all be threaded. Different structures to enhance cutting and sealing are disclosed along with preferred method steps.

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.
