A container assembly including a pouch, spout and closure is provided. The closure includes a tamper-evident band comprising two or more wall sections. Adjacent wall sections of the tamper band may be connected to one another with frangible connectors configured to break upon twist-off of the closure from the spout. The closure also includes one or more support walls supported between an outer wall and central wall of the closure. The closure further includes one or more hinges attaching the ends of the wall sections of the tamper band to the lower ends of the support walls. The hinges are configured to increase the resistance required to break or otherwise distort the frangible connections of the tamper-evident band, so as to prevent or lower the risk of accidental or inadvertent breakage of the tamper-evident band prior to twist-off of the closure from the spout.

The invention relates to a device for welding a connection region of a film to a connection part having an axial direction. In the case of conventional devices, there is the risk of steep workpiece edges causing uncontrolled weak spots in the film and in the weld seam. According to the invention, the film is extended in a controlled manner such that the film has a length reserve. The film is extended in such a way that the film has a deformation cross-section that runs out such that the deformation is not visible on the final product. In this connection, the invention further relates to a use of a film, to a method for welding, to a method for producing bags, to a system for producing bags, and to a bag.

A cosmetic container is manufactured as a pouch type to accommodate a small amount of liquid cosmetics. The pouch-type liquid color makeup container facilitates confirmation of whether the container is initially opened and exhibition and selling of the container in a vending machine and the like while enabling cosmetic materials to be conveniently carried and used indoors/outdoors through the attachment/detachment of a cap and the entrance/exit of cosmetic tools. A cap attachment/detachment and cosmetic tool entrance/exit and rail movement guide are provided in a discharge member of a pouch manufactured so as to receive and portably carry a small amount of liquid cosmetics, such as lip gloss, mascara, and eyeliner; enabling detailed application by being stably held, thereby enabling various demands of young people sensitive to color to be satisfied.

A spouted pouch has a spout (10) having an exterior surface provided with a first screw thread (21). The spout body is provided with a rotation preventing boss (25, 26). A closure device (40) secured on the neck and comprises: —a socket (50; 150) configured to the screwed onto the neck (12) of the spout (10), —a user openable or user removable cap (70; 170) supported on the socket in a manner so as to be openable or removable relative to the socket (50; 150). The socket has a bore (52) with a second screw thread (56) that cooperates with the first screw thread upon screwing the socket onto the neck. An upper section of the exterior surface of the socket body defines a discharge portion (53). At a lower end the socket body is provided with a permanent snap lock anti-back off structure (60) comprising a portion (61, 63; 161, 162) that is configured to flex over the rotation preventing boss (25, 26) upon screwing of the socket onto the neck and then snap behind said boss. This structure is configured to remain intact upon a user opening or removing the cap for the first time. The cap (70; 170), in a closed position thereof, covers the discharge portion (53) and in an opened or removed position clears the discharge portion (53).

A beverage preparation capsule containing a beverage preparation ingredient, having a body with side walls formed from one or more substantially air- and liquid-impermeable sheet materials defining a chamber containing a beverage preparation ingredient and further defining an outlet channel having an upstream end in fluid communication with the chamber for escape of beverage from the chamber. At least a region of the outlet channel is filled by a filtration material for filtering the beverage escaping from the chamber. Also provided is a clamp assembly for preparing a beverage from such a capsule, the clamp assembly comprising two or more clamp members, wherein an inner wall of at least one of the clamp members comprises a concave base surface for receiving the capsule and one or more pressure pads projecting from the concave base surface for selectively constricting a region of the capsule.

A structure of a mouth plug portion includes a nozzle and a cap, the nozzle includes a first outer protrusion and a second outer protrusion, the first outer protrusion includes a locking surface that locks the cap and a first guide surface spirally extending, the cap includes a cap body and a tamper band provided with a weak portion that can be broken by an external force received from the second outer protrusion during rotation of the cap body, the cap body includes a first inner protrusion and a second inner protrusion, an outer peripheral surface of the nozzle is provided with a second guide surface along which the first inner protrusion and the second inner protrusion can move in an axial direction.

A feeding spout for use with a food package includes a hollow tubular portion integrally connected to a threaded collar portion. The hollow tubular portion has a tube wall, an open end, and a closed end. The tube wall has two or more slits therethrough, the slits being offset from the closed end. Containers and pouches utilizing the feeding spout are also disclosed, along with kits containing same. In addition, methods of producing the feeding spout and pouches and packaged products utilizing the feeding spout are disclosed.

The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition of polyethylene glycol in solid powder form contained within a polymer bag having an opening. The invention also provides a method for administering a pharmaceutical composition of polyethylene glycol in solid powder form. The method includes providing a polymer bag containing the pharmaceutical composition of polyethylene glycol and adding a fluid to the bag. The polymer bag has a threaded spout and a cap threadably mountable to the spout. The threaded spout forms a passageway to an interior volume of the bag.

A mixing assembly includes a bag of appropriate size, configuration, shape and material and a closable spout that may have extensions of various lengths, shapes and configurations to provide enhanced mixing of a component contained in the bag upon the addition of a second component. Once the closure of the spout is removed, the second component, typically a liquid such as water, milk, juice, chemical, oil substrate, or the like, can be added to the container for mixing. After the closure is refitted, the two components are mixed then consumed or dispensed, either by removing the closure or from a separate spout or nozzle fitted to the closure.
