The present invention relates to a closure for a container, the closure comprising three positions. The invention further relates to a kit of parts for assembling such a closure.

The present invention relates to a closure comprising an engine and a shroud, the closure adapted to attach to the opening of a container to define an interior and an outside; wherein the shroud and engine are adapted to engage; wherein the closure can take a first position, a second position and a third position, wherein: a. the shroud moves relative to the engine in a linear fashion and a different minimum force is required to move the closure from the first position to the second position than to move the closure from the second position to the first position; or b. the shroud moves relative to the engine in a linear fashion and a different minimum force is required to move the closure from the second position to the third position than to move the closure from the third position to the second position; or c. both a. and b.; or d. the shroud moves relative to the engine in a rotational fashion and a different minimum torque is required to move the closure from the first position to the second position than to move the closure from the second position to the first position; or e. the shroud moves relative to the engine in a rotational fashion and a different minimum torque is required to move the closure from the second position to the third position than to move the closure from the third position to the second position; or both d. and e.

The present invention relates to a closure for a container, the closure having an asymmetrical protrusion. The invention further relates to a kit of parts for assembling such a closure.

The present invention relates to a closure for a container, the closure comprising an engine having a first track and a shroud having a second track, wherein the shroud and engine are adapted to engage, wherein the shroud can go from a first position to a second position in a motion in which the first track moves with respect to the second track in a rotational or linear fashion; wherein the engine comprises a first protrusion protruding from the first track with a first protrusion contour profile along the first track; wherein the shroud comprises a second protrusion protruding from the second track with a second protrusion contour profile along the second track; wherein movement of the shroud between the first position and the second position causes an interaction between the first protrusion and the second protrusion; wherein the first protrusion contour profile is asymmetrical or the second protrusion contour profile is asymmetrical, or both are asymmetrical.

An airtight cosmetic compact, wherein the airtight feature is created by interaction between a seal facing downwardly from the inside of the cover and the upwardly facing recess of the base. The cover locks on the base by either thread elements on both cap and base or by bayonet like cams, allowing the cover to be twisted on the base compressing the cover against the base and engaging the seal with the base recess. By compressing the seal against the base and holding it in place through the threaded engagement the air-tightness of the compact is achieved and guaranteed.

A coupling device for mounting onto the spout of a faucet is disclosed. The device is connected or connectable to a hose and includes an elastomeric sleeve and a clamp assembly. The clamp assembly includes a housing and a pressure applying member. The housing has a cavity holding the sleeve between a back wall and the pressure applying member. The sleeve receives the externally threaded spout. The pressure applying member is movable to a closed position to compress the sleeve tightly about the spout to releasably secure the device to the faucet. The pressure applying member is also movable to an open position to release the spout from the sleeve. Also disclosed is a cap device for releasably sealing an externally threaded mouth of a bottle or other hollow vessel and making use of an elastomeric sleeve and a clamp assembly similar in many respects to the coupling device.

A package comprises a container and a closure. The container includes a body formed to include a product-receiving space, a filler neck coupled to the body, and a thread coupled to the filler neck. The closure includes an outer cap, an inner cap arranged radially inward of the outer cap, and an electronic system arranged between the outer cap and the inner cap.

The present invention relates to compositions (compounds) which can be used as seal material in vessel caps under sterilization conditions. More specifically, the invention relates to such compositions that are suitable for vessel caps or vacuum caps that can be unscrewed, such as cam screw caps and in particular Press-on/Twist-off caps, and that demonstrate a reduced migration of undesirable substances.

A bottle sealing device for reversibly sealing a bottle includes a tube that is hollow. The tube is configured to insert a neck of a bottle such that the tube is reversibly couplable to the bottle with a threaded section of the bottle protruding through an upper end of the tube. A cap is pivotally coupled to the upper end of the tube. The cap also is reversibly couplable to the upper end of the tube. The cap is substantially complementary to the threaded section of the bottle. The cap is configured to reversibly and sealably couple to a lip of the bottle as the cap is reversibly coupled to the tube.

A container cap assembly includes an inner cap coupled to an inner surface and an upper end of a container neck and an outer cap maintaining the coupled state of the inner cap, thereby keeping the inside of a container sealed. The container cap assembly includes an inner cap including an outer wall portion corresponding to an inner surface of a neck of a container and a flange portion extending outward from an upper end of the outer wall portion to correspond to an upper end of the neck. An outer cap has a ceiling covering an upper portion of the inner cap and a side wall portion covering an outer circumferential surface of the neck, the ceiling and the side wall portion being integrally formed. The inner circumferential surface of the side wall portion has female threads corresponding to male threads on the outer circumferential surface of the neck.
