The present disclosure is directed to a container assembly including a container sealed by a closure. The container has a main chamber in which a highly nutritive liquid food product can be filled and stored aseptically or through retort processing. The closure includes a separate chamber in which a supplement sensitive to thermal processing of the liquid food product can be filled and stored. The container assembly permits the closure filled with the supplement to be attached to the container after severe thermal processing conditions have subsided, and permits the supplement to be conveniently and hygienically mixed with the liquid food product immediately prior to use.

A package closure (10) comprising a neck (18) provided with an opening, and a cap (19) for closing the opening, wherein the neck (18) comprises a connecting portion (20) for connection to a package (32), and a sealing portion (21) projecting radially inwards from the connecting portion (20) to interact with the cap (19) to form a seal between them. Before opening thereof the cap (19) is connected to the sealing portion (21) through a notch (23), wherein the cap (19) is removable from at least a part of the sealing portion (21) by tearing along the notch (23). The cap (19) is provided with a sealing part (24) projecting from an interior side of the cap (19) to interact with the sealing portion (21) of the neck (18), so that the package closure (10) is resealable. The invention also relates to a device and a method for producing a package closure.

A flip-top closure includes first and second polymeric closure portions. The first closure portion includes a top wall portion, a sealing mechanism and an annular skirt portion. The second closure portion includes a tamper-evident band. The closure portions are attached by a line of weakness. The closure portions are further attached via a hinge. The hinge includes a locking tab, a flexible tab and linking segments. The locking tab extends further outwardly from a center of the closure in a closed position than the flexible tab and the linking segments. During the opening of the flip-top closure, the locking tab moves and passes the flexible tab such that the flip-top closure locks in a fully open position.

A reclosable stopper for revealing a first opening includes a base body for positioning on a container mouth (12), from which base body a pouring element extends upwardly, and a protection and closing cap integrally and hingedly connected to the base body. The base body also includes a guarantee ring connected by frangible bridges to a collar. The cap is firmly positioned on the base body for closure. A tamper-proof feature is provided between the base body having the pouring element, and the cap, for revealing a first opening, which includes a double frangible connection system which can be actuated towards the inside of the cap.

A container includes a cup having a sidewall that expands to an upper end that defines an upper opening of the cup. A lid is attached to the cup by a hinge. The lid has a sidewall that reduces to an upper end. An upper opening of the lid is smaller than the upper opening of the cup. The container has a narrow-mouth configuration in which the lid covers the upper opening of the lid and the upper opening of the lid defines the sole entry and exit point for contents to and from the container. The container has a wide-mouth configuration in which the upper opening of the cup is uncovered. The lid is moved about the hinge to achieve the narrow-mouth and wide-mouth configurations.

A dispensing closure (40, 40A, 40B) includes a first body (54, 54A, 54B) for being located at an opening of a container (44, 44A, 44B) and having a first peripheral wall (56, 56A, 56B) and a membrane (60, 60A, 60B) that is integrally molded with the first peripheral wall (56, 56A, 56N) to initially occlude access to the interior of the container (44, 44A, 44B). The closure (40, 40A, 40B) includes a second body (55, 55A, 55B) for surrounding at least a portion of the first body (54, 55A, 55B) and defining a dispensing orifice (88, 88A, 88B). Either the first body (54, 54A, 54B) and/or the second body (55, 55A, 55B) includes means for accommodating engagement by a user to breach only a portion of the membrane (60, 60A, 60B) in a direction toward the interior of the container (44, 44A, 44B) to permit access to the interior of the container (44, 44A, 44B).

A package that is configured to store and dispense fluids. The package includes a container and a dosing dispenser for closing an opening to the container. The dosing dispenser includes a body portion having a discharge aperture. Discharge aperture may be closed and opened using a flip-top cap of the dosing dispenser.

A container has a side wall thickness profile sufficient for withstanding loads such as a top load, a package including the container and a lid, and methods and systems related to the container, are disclosed.

The disclosure provides an anti-pollution bottle cap comprising a cap body, a liquid drainage one-way valve and an air intake one-way valve. A liquid drainage hole and an air intake hole are disposed in the cap body and both communicated with an inside of the cap body. The liquid drainage one-way valve is disposed in a space enclosed by the cap body. The liquid drainage hole is blocked by the liquid drainage one-way valve in one way so as to be opened during toppling operation. The air intake one-way valve is disposed in the space enclosed by the cap body. The air intake hole is blocked by the air intake one-way valve in one way so as to be closed during toppling operation. In application, the anti-pollution bottle cap will be installed on a bottle for matched use, so that a user can normally drain liquid through the liquid drainage hole only by squeezing the bottle. When use is stopped, through blockage of the liquid drainage one-way valve to the liquid drainage hole, adherends on the body surface of the user are prevented from entering the bottle, contents will not be polluted, and the problem that an existing bottle cap is likely to pollute contents is practically solved.
