The invention is directed to a flexible, thin walled seamless container. The container includes a rigid bottom component and a rigid top having an opening. The bottom can be formed to have a first shape, such as a rectangle, and the top can be formed to have a second shape different than the first shape, such as a circle. A cap can be connected to the top to block the opening. The cap can include a pour spout or shaker holes.

A closure including an upper wall (25) defining an opening (36) and a cylindrical snap on pipe (30) depending from the upper wall. The pipe includes threads (34) designed to mate with external threads on a neck of the bottle. The threads on the pipe and threads on the neck of the bottle pass over each other when the closure is snapped onto the bottle during manufacture. The pipe includes a resistance recess (42) and a guidance recess (70). The resistance recess and the guidance recess accommodate a forcing element (50) on a shoulder (80) of the bottle and permit unscrewing of the closure. The walls (44, 46) of the resistance recess are preferably symmetrical.

A hinge cap formed by an injection-molding comprises an inner lid capable of being attached to a container body, a hinge, and an outer lid that is connected to the inner lid by the hinge to open and close the cap. The inner lid includes a claw portion. The outer lid includes a tubular outer wall portion and a plurality of convex portions as undercut portions and a plurality of concave portions. One convex portion and a concave portion adjacent to the one convex portion form an engaging portion capable of being engaged with the claw portion. An adjacent convex portion adjacent to the engaging portion and a concave portion adjacent to the adjacent convex portion form a mold pressing portion.

A method of manufacturing a tamper-evident closure, comprising the steps of: forming a body having a base and a lid; and inserting a dispensing member and a tamper-evident member into the body.

A flip-top dispensing closure is provided and comprises a base which is attachable to a container and a lid attached to the base by a hinge. The base includes a dispensing passage; a syringe of the type comprising a barrel and a terminal tip is insertable into the passage. The closure further comprises a flexible self-closing valve for closing the passage. In use the syringe is inserted into the passage so that the tip passes through the valve to access product, and thereafter when the syringe is withdrawn the valve wipes against the syringe tip.

A flow control closure is provided. The closure having a body member with a base wall, a body skirt, and a spout extending from the base wall away from the body skirt; a lid member with a top wall and a lid skirt, the lid member being movable between an open position and a closed position, the top wall having a seal positioned to engage the spout when the lid member is in the closed position; and a hinge member that joins the lid member with the body member. The spout can include an orifice with an outer profile having a first diameter and an inner profile having a second diameter, the orifice can include one or more uvulas that partially obstructs the first diameter. The flow control closure can be molded as one unitary piece.

A dosing apparatus suitable for dispensing a dose of liquid from a resilient squeezable container including a cap, suitable for attachment to the container, the cap comprising an expulsion channel for the expulsion of liquid; a dosage chamber attached to the cap, the dosage chamber comprising side walls; at least one inlet opening in the side walls proximal to the cap; a pressure chamber located underneath the dosage chamber; a valve provided at the end of the pressure chamber distal to the dosage chamber, the valve being movable from an open position, allowing liquid to flow through one or more discharge openings, and a closed position where the valve closes each discharge opening, the valve incorporating at least one aperture; and a plunger provided in the dosage chamber, and movable relative to the dosage chamber so as to advance upon squeezing of the container, up to a blocking position.

A method of manufacturing a tamper-evident closure, comprising the steps of: forming a body having a base and a lid; and inserting a dispensing member and a tamper-evident member into the body.

A synthetic resin container lid (2) has a shape including a body (4), which is mounted on a mouth-neck portion (56) of a container by locking a locking means (26) to a locked means (58) of the mouth-neck portion (56), and an upper lid (6) coupled to the body (4) via a hinge means (32). The synthetic resin container lid (2) is improved so that the entire container lid (2) is fully and easily detached from the mouth-neck portion of the container. The axial depth of an annular or arcuate groove (46) formed in a hanging wall (10) of the body (4) and extending in a circumferential direction is changed as required. At least in a second break region (B) and a third break region (C), a circumferential breakable line (53) extending continuously in the circumferential direction along an axially lower end part of the groove (46) is formed in the hanging wall (10).

A method of manufacturing a tamper-evident closure, comprising the steps of: forming a body having a base and a lid; and inserting a dispensing member and a tamper-evident member into the body.
