A liquid pouring member capable of effectively preventing the liquid from spouting upon opening. An inner plug includes a nozzle, a base to be engaged with an opening of a container, and a hollow cylindrical skirt. The nozzle includes a nozzle upper part extending from an upper surface of the base and a nozzle lower part extending from a lower surface of the base. The nozzle upper part includes an outlet port, and the nozzle lower part includes an inlet port. An inner passage is formed from the inlet port to the outlet port while penetrating therethrough. The nozzle lower part is formed in a radial inner side of the hollow cylindrical skirt, and includes an end portion with an inclined surface. The inlet port is formed in the inclined surface.

A plug body includes (a) a spout part, (b) a plug including a fitting part and removably fitted to an inner side of the spout part, and (c) a sealing member in a ring shape attached to a lower side of the fitting part of the plug. When the plug is inserted, the sealing member is in contact with a portion on a lower side of the spout part to form a sealing structure.

The disclosure relates to a closure having a sealing element for a fluid-filled container. The closure has at least one securing mechanism which is designed to be irreversibly changed in a visible manner during the first opening of the closure.

The closure (1) has a cover cap (2), which is retractably formed on the closure (1) by means of a hinge (3). On the sides of the closure (1) and the cover cap (2), barbs (12, 27) are formed that yield outwardly, when shutting the cover cap (2) due to bulging of the cover cap (2) transversely to the closing direction. The barbs (12) on the closure (1) thus slide over their outer edge and then engage by elastic reversal of the bulge. The cover cap (2) is then fixed onto the closure (1) in a sealing and secure manner. The cover cap (2), using its front region, rests with its edge (11) on a step (9) on the closure (1). This edge (9) is slidable onto the plane of the step (9) by pressing on the front region in the direction of the hinge (3). This creates a bilateral bulge of the lateral edges (10) of the cover cap (2) so that the barbs (26) on the cover cap (2) disengage from those (12) on the closure (1). Thereafter, the cover cap (10) can then be pivoted open about the hinge (3), by means of persistent pressure on its front region, under elastic reversal of the bulges after releasing the pressure.

A cup lid with locking and delayed release includes a lid and a lid base coupled to the cup. The lid is hindgedly attached to the lid base, with a locking and release assembly with a selectively locking and unlocking button that is linked to a rocker latch defined by an inner locking hook and an outer locking hook. The lid includes a catch inner hook engageable to the inner locking hook on the rocker latch, and a catch outer look engageable to the outer locking hook on the rocker latch.

A unit for mixing and dispensing an aerosol precursor composition, and containers to be dispensed therefrom. The unit includes a plurality of bulk material filling stations, the plurality of bulk material filling stations have at least one first filling station with aerosol former and at least one second filling station with a flavor material for creating the aerosol precursor. The unit also includes a bulk consumable pack staging a plurality of containers configured to receive the aerosol precursor, and a robot configured to retrieve a container from the bulk consumable pack and move the container through at least two dimensions to stop at at least two of the plurality of bulk material filling stations.

Provided are a measuring mechanism for measuring a predetermined fixed amount or an arbitrary amount of a liquid composition and discharging it, and a quantitative dispensing container and a quantitative applicator including such a mechanism. A measuring mechanism is provided that includes a base and a head defining a measurement space between the base and itself, the base and the head configured to be capable of changing the volume of the measurement space in response to a predetermined operation of the head including a measurement operation for increasing the volume of the measurement space and a discharge operation for reducing the volume of the measurement space. The base includes a first passageway for allowing the composition to flow from the outside into the measurement space, and a first check valve located on the first passageway. The first check valve of the base increases its sealability if there is a positive pressure in the measurement space.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for sealing openings on containers and other structures, permitting selective removal of portions of the seal structure, and for similar selective removal of portions of adhesive elements such as bandages.
