A cap for a container is formed so that the cap has a top plate and a circular sidewall. Two opposite sides of the circular sidewall circularly connect to each other, one periphery of the circular sidewall connecting to one surface of the top plate forming a closed end, and another periphery of the circular sidewall at an opposite side of the closed end forms an opened end. Incisions are in the circular sidewall. The incisions form a ring member located at the opened end of the cap separated from a main body of the cap by a first incision and a second incision between the opened end of the main body and the ring member.

A closure includes a cap having a top wall and a skirt perpendicular to the top wall and extending downwardly from the top wall to a lower edge. The skirt includes an inner surface having a sealing formation. A band is concentric with and attached to the lower edge of the skirt by a plurality of frangible members. A tab is pivotally connected to an upper portion of the closure.

A Multi-component closure is proposed, which comprises a bottom part with a laminar support and a neck arranged thereto in one piece, which comprises a neck opening, a restring enclosing the neck and a first locking element, which is designed in between a neck opening and the restring. A screw cap is provided with a retaining ring and with a closure cap attached via a hinge to the retaining ring, where the retaining ring is kept rotatable by the restring, and where the closure cap comprises at least a second locking element, which in a closed state acts together with the at least one first locking element, to close the neck opening with the closure cap in a liquid-tight manner and that in the closed state a turn of the screw cap around the neck in a first direction causes an opening of the screw cap.

A closure includes a cap having a top wall and a skirt perpendicular to the top wall and extending downwardly from the top wall to a lower edge. The skirt includes an inner surface having a sealing formation. A band is concentric with and attached to the lower edge of the skirt by a plurality of frangible members. A tab is formed at a hinge location from the band and extending from the lower edge of the skirt to one or more lines of weakness.

A container closure of synthetic resin is used for a container having a mouth-and-neck portion formed with an external thread on its outer periphery and an engaging jaw portion positioned below the external thread. The closure including a body and a tamper evident skirt portion is not entirely separated from the mouth-and-neck portion of the container even after unsealing the container at the mouth-and-neck portion. The container closure is improved such that the body is held sufficiently reliably at a required opening position when the body detached from the mouth-and-neck portion is pivoted to the opening position even if the container closure has a relatively short axial length. Furthermore, when the body is pivoted again to the opening position, a sound recognizable for a consumer is generated with sufficient certainty. At least in an angle region in which a protruding piece formed on the skirt wall of the body is present, an extending portion is formed at an engaging piece formed on the tamper evident skirt portion. In a state where the container closure of synthetic resin is mounted on the mouth-and-neck portion, the extending portion is positioned between the engaging jaw portion of the mouth-and-neck portion and the tamper evident skirt portion.

A method of forming a cut in a polymeric component includes providing a blade assembly including at least one blade, and a mandrel. The mandrel includes a rigid portion and a conformal support ring. The conformal support ring includes a material softer than the material forming the blade. A polymeric component is located between the mandrel and the at least one blade. The polymeric component is cut via the at least one blade. The at least one blade extends into the conformal support ring after the at least one blade has penetrated through the polymeric component.

The invention refers to a capping device intended to be fixed on a neck (2) of a container including an orifice (3), including the capping device: a cap (1) which has a helical thread (7) intended to cooperate with a helical thread (6) formed in the neck (2); a lower ring (9) fixed axially to the neck (2); a hinge device that connects the cap (1) to the lower ring (9), including the capping device in addition a cap locking device (1) configured to lock the cap (1) in an open tilted position, including such a locking device a bead (22) which is formed, between the two blades (11, 12), and which is configured to rest against the neck (2) of the container when the cap (1) is in the open tilted position, the heel (22) has an internal face where at least one of the ribs of the helical thread series (7) is formed.

A bottle cap includes a body and a security ring. The body has multiple breakable bridge portions located along the periphery of the body and connected to the security ring. Two non-breakable plates are connected between the body and the security ring. Each of the non-breakable plates includes multiple turning positions and multiple angles. When the multiple breakable bridge portions are broken, the non-breakable plates are still connected to the security ring. The non-breakable plates are extendable so that the body can be pulled away from the security ring for a distance.

A cap for a container is formed so that the cap has a top plate and a circular sidewall. Two opposite sides of the circular sidewall circularly connect to each other, one periphery of the circular sidewall connecting to one surface of the top plate forming a closed end, and another periphery of the circular sidewall at an opposite side of the closed end forms an opened end. Incisions are in the circular sidewall. The incisions form a ring member located at the opened end of the cap separated from a main body of the cap by a first incision and a second incision between the opened end of the main body and the ring member.

A method for maneuvering and supporting a container and a preform from which the container is blow molded before, during, and after blow molding, the method including: supporting the preform and the container on a surface by positioning on the surface a tamper lip of a finish of the preform and the container; and grasping the finish with a gripper through cooperation between the gripper and a gripper pad of the finish, the gripper pad is between threads and the tamper lip of the finish.
