The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a covering structure for a cardboard package comprising a tubular body made up a cardboard material. The covering structure comprises a flat assembly of three materials: (1) a cellulosic material covered with a reactivatable barrier material over the face thereof oriented towards a safety membrane, making up a lid cardboard, (2) a laminating part arranged between said lid cardboard and the safety membrane, with a shape conjugated to the shape of the opening of the tubular body, made from paper, or paper whereof the face oriented towards said lid cardboard is coated with a material having barrier and sealing properties, and (3) a safety membrane, made up of a paper coated with at least one reactivatable barrier material on the surface thereof not oriented towards the laminating part.

An apparatus includes a drinking container and a lid. The lid encircles a portion of the drinking container, and includes a body and a rim. The body is formed of an elastomeric material and defines a hollow pocket with an open end and an aperture or scored region. The rim is formed of the elastomeric material and defines a ring running about the open end. Lids in accordance with aspects of the invention are capable of capturing and suspending straws, and preventing spills.

A plastic beverage container includes a body, a closure, and a dry granular consumable. The body has a closed base portion and an open top end. The closure includes a top member, a bottom member, a pull tab, and an adhesive. The adhesive is disposed between a perimeter of each of the top and bottom members of the closure to form a sealed pouch container having a pull tab with a perforation. The top and bottom members are formed from one of a metal foil and polymer film. The dry granular consumable is disposed in the sealed pouch container. The adhesive is also disposed between the perimeter of the closure and a sealing surface of the top end of the body to form a liquid-tight seal between the closure and the top end of the body.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for assembling a packaging combination including a tubular casing having a first end and a second end, wherein the tubular casing is partially filled with filling material and closed at its first as well as its second end by a closure means, like a closure clip, and wherein the partially filled tubular casing comprises a plait-like portion at its first end being at least approximately free of filling material, and further including a dispensing device having a passageway extending through the dispensing device with an inlet opening at its one end and a dispensing opening at its other end for guiding and dispensing the filling material in a dispensing direction. The present invention further relates to a packaging combination comprises a tubular casing, a dispensing device and a sealing device removably attached to the dispensing device.

The invention relates to an assembly for closing a tube, said assembly comprising a tube head that has a neck (10) and a cap (30), said assembly defining a guide path, a thread and a thread portion (11) allowing the cap (30) to be positioned on the neck (10) by cooperation with the guide path and the thread, said assembly comprising a first (24) and a second (25) stop element for said thread portion (11), said stop elements (24, 25) being angularly spaced apart and defining a passage (26) between the guide path and the thread, said assembly being configured to allow axial displacement of the thread portion (11) through the passage (26) with a non-return effect produced by at least one (24) of said stops.

The invention relates to an assembly for closing a tube, said assembly comprising a tube head (3) that has a neck (10) and a closing cover (5) for closing said neck (10), the assembly further comprising a cap (30) which is provided with a piercing element (7) designed to perforate said closing cover (5), the neck (10) and cap (30) being configured such that the cap (30) is guided on the neck (10) into a closed position in which said piercing element (7) has perforated the closing cover, passing via an intermediate position in which the piercing element (7) has finished piercing said closing cover (5), and this also produces a material deformation which seals the closure, said assembly being configured such that the intermediate position is passed through prior to the material deformation which seals the closure.

An assembly for closing a tube, said assembly comprising a tube head (3) provided with a neck (10) and a cap (5) closing said neck (10), said assembly further comprising a stopper (30) comprising a punch (7) adapted to perforate said cap (5), said neck (10) and said stopper (30) being configured to guide the stopper (30) to a closing position in which said punch (7) has perforated said cap (5), characterized in that said cap comprising a lateral skirt (23) provided with at least one notch (60) opening radially, said neck comprising a protrusion (61) configured to cooperate angularly with said notch (60) to block a withdrawal of the cap (30), once said cap (30) is in said closing position

The invention relates to an assembly for closing a tube, said assembly comprising a tube head (3) that has a neck (10) and a closing cover (5) for closing said neck (10), the assembly further comprising a cap (30) which is provided with a piercing element (7) designed to perforate said closing cover (5), the neck (10) and cap (30) being configured such that the cap (30) is guided into a closed position in which said piercing element (7) has perforated the closing cover (5), said piercing element comprising one or more teeth (50) for cutting through the closing cover (5), which extend from a free edge (80) of the piercing element (7), at least one angular portion (81) of said free edge (80), referred to as the passage portion, being configured to remain in the neck (10) when in said closed position.
