A bottle, having an antimicrobial property is provided. The bottle has one or more components including a body, a cap, a seal, and a locking ring. One or more of the components of the bottle are treated with an antimicrobial agent or comprise an antimicrobial agent. The antimicrobial is a silver based antimicrobial, a silver-glass antimicrobial, or other antimicrobial agent.

A tamper evident closure and spout are provided. The closure includes a tamper-indicating band extending from a central wall. Formed about the tamper band are one or more spout engagement structures. Also provided about the tamper band may be one or more knuckles that assist in distorting the tamper band upon initial removal of the closure from a spout so as to increase the ease with which the tamper band can be identified as having been broken upon visual inspection by a user. The spout includes a wall portion and a central channel extending through the wall portion between an inlet opening and an outlet opening. Located about an outer portion of the spout are one or more tamper band engagement structures configured to engage a tamper band and which assist in breaking and distorting a tamper band upon initial removal of a closure from the spout.

A cap for a spout of a thin-walled flexible package having a tamper evident seal formed by a plurality of main sections is provided. Each main section of the plurality of main sections has a tooth for engaging a respective fixed ridge of the spout. The tooth radially projects inward and consists of a sharp solid element having a tooth height greater than a height of a remaining part of the main section.

Disclosed herein is a fluid transfer assembly for dispensing flowable material from a container, the fluid transfer assembly having a spout, a screw cap body, and an aseptic plug, wherein the aseptic plug is configured to form an aseptic seal with the screw cap body.

A combination of a closing element (28) and a receiving structure (24) is provided wherein the closing element (28) and receiving structure (24) are in an initially assembled orientation which prevents, but which can he subsequently operated to permit, communication through the receiving structure (24). The receiving structure (24) includes at least one laterally projecting shear member (40) and a spout (30) defining (A) an access passage (32). The closing element (28) has an aperture (78) for receiving a shear member (40) of the receiving structure (24). At least one frangible bridge (78) extends across a portion of the aperture (74) for being severed by the shear member (40) during relative rotation between the closing element (28) and the receiving structure (24).

In combination a spouted pouch (1) to be filled with a flowable product by a filling machine, a plug (50), and a cap (70). The interference fit plug is releasably mounted over the top end of the neck of the spout body and hermetically seals the product passage of the spout body. The plug is adapted to be removed by the filling machine and to be replaced by pressing the plug onto the neck after filling of the pouch. The plug removal, filling, and replacing of the plug are preferably performed in an aseptic environment. The cap is after the filling of the pouch and the replacing of the plug onto the neck. The capping is preferably performed by a capping machine in a non-aseptic environment.

A package includes a container and a closure cap for mounting on the container. The closure cap is coupled to a neck of the container to block selectively removal of product stored within the container at the selection of a user.

A spout is put between and attached to a pair of plane parts including front and rear surfaces forming a bag body. The spout includes a tube part to which a cap having a tamper-proof ring is attached on its topside, and a first flange and a second flange provided on an outer peripheral surface of the tube part on the side of its base end. The outer diameter of the first flange, which is the topmost, is equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the tamper-proof ring in a front-rear direction of the bag body. This causes the first flange to cover the whole lower part of the tamper-proof ring.

The present invention concerns a venting cap for liquid containers which besides a pouring opening also has a venting opening with a venting spigot provided with a corresponding venting cap. The venting cap has a closed head plate and a cap skirt which extends downwardly from the head plate and has at least one cylindrical portion having a female thread, wherein above the female thread the cap skirt has a venting portion at which there are provided at a spacing relative to the head plate retaining lugs which extend radially inwardly and define a free inside radius which is smaller than the inside radius of the thread.

A tamper evident closure and spout are provided. The closure includes an outer wall and a central wall supported from the outer wall. The closure defines a passage extending between an upper edge and a lower edge of the closure and located between an inner surface of the outer wall and an outer surface of the central wall. The closure includes a tamper-indicating band extending from the central wall. The spout includes a wall portion and a central channel extending through the wall portion between an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The spout includes a structure located below the inlet opening the first and second exterior surfaces are both angled toward the central axis of the spout.
