A method for producing a container having a threaded wide neck, includes steps of: heating a preform having a polyester body, on which there is mounted a polyolefin sleeve positioned next to an area of the body corresponding to the wide neck of the container; introducing the heated preform, with the sleeve, into a mould having the footprint of the container, including a threaded area having the footprint of the wide neck; injecting a pressurised fluid into the preform in order to form a blank of the container including a lower portion including the wide neck with a thread formed in the sleeve and an upper portion above the wide neck; separating the upper portion from the lower portion that thus forms the container.

A container has a container lid and a container lower section connectible with each other via thread ribs on the lid and the lower section, by twisting the lid and the lower section relative to each other about a screwing axis of rotation. The thread ribs on the lid and the lower section extend over a circumferential angle of 90 degrees or less. A clearance at least equal to the circumferential extension thereof is left in the circumferential direction on the lid and the lower section. At least two thread ribs on the lid and the lower section overlap each other. A complete overrun circumferentially is possible in only one of the two opposing positions when an opposing position of a thread rib in the lower section or the lid is reached during a screwed connection in the direction of the screwing axis of rotation.

A closure element of the press-twist type for closing a container comprises: a capsule having a side wall extending about an axis, and a transverse panel extending transversely to said axis, an annular seal for sealingly engaging with a mouth of the container. The annular seal is made of a PVC-free material and comprises: a side portion arranged in contact with the side wall of the capsule; a front portion extending from the side portion towards said axis; a deformability promoting element for increasing deformability of the front portion, the deformability promoting element comprising a recessed zone configured to be at least partially filled by the material forming the front portion when the front portion is pressed against an edge of the container delimiting the mouth.

The system of the preferred embodiments is a drink container lid, including: at least one of a permanent and a removable interface designed to attach the drink container lid to a drink container; a bulkhead attached to the at least one of a permanent and removable interface, and designed to keep liquid in the drink container; an opening in the top of the bulkhead adapted to allow fluid to flow into a user's mouth; at least one of a protrusion, a bump, a groove, an indentation, and a rough textured area on a generally vertical surface of the drink container lid, adjacent to the opening and aligned with the positioning of the opening, where the at least one of a protrusion, a bump, a groove, an indentation, and a rough textured area is capable of creating a tactile sensation on a user's lip. The drink container lid is preferably designed to allow a user to locate the opening in the drink container lid using their sense of feel with their bottom lip, allowing a user to drink liquid from a drink container with a lid more easily and potentially without having to look at the drink container, while at the same time allowing the user to properly align the opening in the drink container lid with their mouth to avoid spilling any of the contents of the container. The drink container lid may, however, be used for any suitable purpose.

A lug closure (10) includes a central top panel (20), an annular channel (30) outboard of the top panel, a downwardly extending skirt (50) outboard of the channel, the skirt terminating at an inward curl (54) that defines a curl height, and lugs (60) formed in the curl. Each one of the lugs includes a body that extends radially inwardly from the skirt. The body includes a leading edge (70a) that merges into a leading portion (80a) of the curl. The leading edge tapers in thickness from the curl height to a minimum lug thickness and forms a leading edge vertical taper angle from horizontal between 6 and 15 degrees. A trailing edge (70b) merges into a trailing portion (80b) of the curl and the trailing edge (70b) tapers in thickness from the curl height to the minimum lug thickness.

A container (10) is described. The container (10) comprises: a first receptacle (12) defining a first chamber (16) and having a first aperture (32); and a second receptacle (14) defining a second chamber (18) and having a second aperture (42). The container (10) also includes a reclosable opening which allows access to the first and second receptacles (12, 14). The second receptacle (14) is movably mounted upon the first receptacle (12) such that the first and second apertures (32, 42) may be aligned to allow the contents of the second chamber (18) to be introduced into the first chamber (16).

A container with a scoop. The container is adapted to retain the scoop in an opening of the container so that the scoop remains readily accessible to a user. The opening has a slot or a channel defined in an interior sidewall that is adapted to receive a tab and a free end of a handle that extend from a cup portion of the scoop.

A container employs an access tool in child-resistant packaging. The container includes a seamless container body having a sidewall and a base formed of a single piece of metal. The container body is drawn to shape from the single piece of sheet metal via deep drawing. The container includes a lid that covers an aperture at an upper end of the container body when the container is closed, and a lever ring attached to the container body adjacent to an upper edge of the sidewall. The lever ring receives and grips a plug portion of the lid to cover the aperture. When not in use, the access tool is magnetically attached to the base, hidden from view. The access tool is a lever configured pry the lid away from the lever ring. The container may include a removably coupled secondary cover to cover the lever ring and lid.

A closure is configured to mate with the neck finish of a container. In embodiments, the closure includes an outer wall portion; an upper surface portion; a plug portion including an inner diameter portion; and a plurality of lugs configured to engage a neck finish of the container. In embodiments, a portion of the plug portion engages an inner diameter portion of an upper portion of the neck finish of the container.

The present invention relates to a support member for supporting a sealing of a container, to a support system for supporting a sealing of a container, to respective containers and to a method for sealing a container. The support member 100 comprises an injection moulded support structure 110, including a first connecting means 112a; 112b adapted for connecting the support member 100 to a corresponding container 200, a first sealing face 114, and an opening 116 for accessing the sealed container 200 when the support member 100 is connected to the container 200. The support member 100 further comprises a first elastic member 120, wherein the first elastic member 120 at least partially covers the first sealing face 114, and wherein the first sealing face 114 is oriented so that the first elastic member 120 is sandwiched and deformed between the first sealing face 114 and the container 200, when the support member 100 is connected to the container 200.
