A closure for a flexible thin-walled packaging is provided. The closure has a rigid overcap, applicable directly or indirectly to a spout of the flexible thin-walled packaging, made of a first plastic material, a collar suitable for being inserted on a grip portion of the spout, and a flexible lace connecting the collar to the rigid overcap. The flexible lace is made by bi-injection, together with the overcap and the collar, of a second plastic material, different from the first plastic material.

A cap structure may include a base and a cap, where the base may include a periphery configured to be mounted over a rim of an opening of a container. The base may include a hollow neck, extending from the base for facilitating flow of liquid from the container through and out of the neck. The neck may include a flange extending annularly around the neck, so as to define an annular step. The cap may include a plurality of inwardly protruding projections, configured to snap over the step when the cap is mounted over the neck.

The present invention provides a lid assembly for use in a beverage container, having a cap, a seal assembly configured to sealably close at least one drink orifice, and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly is in operative connection with the cap and the seal assembly, and configured to synchronously actuate the cap to rotate and actuate the seal assembly to displace longitudinally, so as to open the drink orifice for dispensing and close the drink orifice via a single press action. The invention also relates to a beverage container comprising such a lid assembly.

Disinfection of a surface, such as a mouthpiece of a water bottle, using ultraviolet radiation is disclosed. A cover assembly can include a cover configured to selectively enclose the surface to be disinfected, such as the mouthpiece. The cover assembly can be configured such that ultraviolet radiation can be emitted into an interior volume at least partially formed by the cover and including the surface. The cover assembly can further include a power source which provides power to one or more ultraviolet light sources that emit the ultraviolet radiation. The cover assembly can be a mouthpiece cover assembly physically separate from a container and top cover or integrated in the top cover. A container and a top cover including one or more features for improved cleanliness are also disclosed.

A closure for a spout has a closure body having an annular body wall extending along a main axis between a closure base and an annular body wall edge. The closure is screwable to a spout having a connecting portion, suitable for welding to thin walls of a package, and a tube protruding from the connecting portion along a spout axis and ending with a mouth. The tube has a gripping section having a guide ring. Connection means connect the closure to the spout even when the closure is unscrewed. The connection means have a collar inserted on the gripping section of the spout and axially bound thereto by the guide ring, and an at least partially flexible tie that joins the collar to the closure.

To provide a pouring spout in which an open state of the closing member is maintained while contents are being transferred. The above-described problem is solved by a pouring spout (10) including a spout main body (10A) and a closing unit (20). The spout main body (10A) includes at least a bonded part (15), a tubular part (11), and a channel (18). The closing unit (20) includes a closing member (21), an attaching part (24), and a coupling member (23). The spout main body (10A) is formed with an attached part (40). The coupling member (23) couples a first surface of the closing member (21) on the attaching part (24) side and facing the pouch main body part side, and the attaching member (24). The closing member (21) includes a fixed region corresponding to an area of a second surface opposite to the first surface on the attaching part (24) side thereof in which the coupling member (23) is coupled, the fixed region being supported by a nozzle (58) of a packaging container, thereby holding an angle θ formed by the closing member (21) with an end surface of the bonded part (15) on the pouch main body part side at less than 90 degrees.

A fluid transfer connector or adapter for coupling to a container or pharmacy bottle for facilitating the transfer of fluid or medicine from the bottle to a syringe, or from the syringe to the bottle. Optionally, an additional connector can be provided for coupling the fluid transfer connector to the syringe. Optionally, the connector can be provided with a sloped base for preventing residual amounts of fluids from remaining within the bottle.
