A closure (40) for use with a container of a fluent substance includes a body (54) defining an orifice (84) to accommodate flow of a fluent substance from the container. The closure (40) has a lid (56) connected to the body (54) and movable between (i) a closed position occluding the orifice (84), and (ii) an open position spaced from the orifice (84). The closure (40) includes a retainer (60) having a locked position wherein the retainer (60) is engaged with both of the closure body (54) and the lid (56) to prevent the lid (56) from moving into the open position. The retainer 60) has an unlocked position rotated away from the locked position wherein the retainer (60) is disengaged from at least one of the closure body (54) and the lid (56) to permit the lid (56) to move into the open position.

A bottle includes a secure sealing mechanism. A slide switch plate maintains the contents of the bottle. This is achieved by securing a dispensing mechanism in a closed, locked position and sealing an outlet so that any liquids are prevented from exiting the bottle.

Closure cap intended to close off an open end of a reservoir, comprising a substantially cylindrical body (12) of longitudinal axis (Z) that is intended to be mounted on the open end of the reservoir and is provided with a flow orifice (12e) and a lid (14) that is articulated about a transverse pivot axis (A0) with respect to the body (12), by means of at least two hinges (16), between an open position of the flow orifice (12e) and a closed position of said flow orifice (12e), said lid (14) having an outside diameter greater than the outside diameter of the body (12) and forming a radial lip, said closure cap (10) also comprising a return member (18) that is disposed in a plane passing between the two hinges (16) and is able to keep the lid (14) in each of the positions. The return member (18) has a bent shape configured to be inserted into cavities (12f, 14d) made in the body (12) and in the lid (14), respectively, and to be flush with the radial lip of the lid (14) in the closed position.

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 massage applicator for massaging cream-type fluids into the skin, provided with an end wall with a massage region, on which massage elevations are provided. The end wall is penetrated by at least one outlet channel for the cream-type fluid. The massage applicator is provided with suitable markings in the massage region for measuring the fluid to be used, the applicator is provided with a cover which can be blocked in an open position and/or secured in a closed position, and an assembly of two valves is used in order to secure against unintentional discharge.

A closure (20, 2GA, 2GB) is provided for a system with an opening. The closure (20, 20A, 20B) has a body (24, 24A, 24B) with an outer end (32, 32B) and a through passage (30, 3GB) for communicating with the system opening. The body (24, 24A, 24B) has a membrane (60, 60B) mitially occluding the through passage (30, 30B). The closure (20, 20A, 20B) has a lid (26, 26A. 26B) to accommodate movement relative to the body (24. 24A, 24B) between a closed position restricting access to the through passage (30, 30B) and an open position permitting greater access to the through passage (30, 30B). The body (24, 24A, 24B) thither has a separation member (70, 7GB) that can be engaged by a user to separate at least a part of the membrane (60, 60B) from the body (24, 24 A. 24B). The separation member (70, 70B) extends away from the membrane (60, 60B) and has a deployed configuration wherein the separation member (70, 70B) projects outwardly beyond the body outer end (32, 32B) when the lid (26, 26A, 26B) is in the open position. The separation member (70. 70B) further has the capability for assuming a stored configuration with the separation member (70, 70B) engaged by the lid (26, 26A, 26B) with the lid (26, 26A, 26B) in the closed position. Resiliency of the separation member (70, 70B) urges the separation member (70, 70B) {acute over (.Math.)}{umlaut over (.Math.)}o.Math. the stored configuration to the deployed configuration when the lid (26, 26A, 26B) is moved from the closed position to the open position.

A massage applicator for massaging cream-type fluids into the skin, provided with an end wall with a massage region, on which massage elevations are provided. The end wall is penetrated by at least one outlet channel for the cream-type fluid. The massage applicator is provided with suitable markings in the massage region for measuring the fluid to be used.

An apparatus for collecting and storing fluid samples from vehicles and machinery comprises a storage container having a fluid inlet sealed by a cap, the cap having an aperture releasably sealed by a lid. An adapter connects the cap releasably to a fluid outlet coupling port of a fluid sampling device. The adapter comprises a lumen, having an inlet and an outlet aperture, an external screw thread engageable with an internal screw thread of the coupling port and a connector assembly for connecting the adapter releasably to the cap. A penetrable diaphragm provides an airtight seal over a storage region of the storage container. When the adapter is connected to the coupling port and the cap is connected to the adapter, a fluid outlet tube extending from the coupling port extends through the aperture and protrudes through one or more perforations provided in the penetrable diaphragm into the storage region.

A multi-part closure is proposed with a lower part having a flat support and a neck integrally arranged thereon. A screw cap is provided with a retaining ring and with a closure cap fastened to the retaining ring via a film hinge, the retaining ring being arranged at least partially between the support and a detent ring around the neck and being rotatably held by the detent ring. Further, the film hinge includes a first hinge member forming a portion of the retaining ring, and a second hinge member forming a portion of the closure cap. A three-portion hinge includes a center portion and two outer portions spaced from the center portion and connecting the first hinge member to the second hinge member. The at least two outer parts are designed to exert an at least partially increasing tensile force up to a limit angle during a rotation about a line of rotation and to exert an at least partially decreasing tensile force during a further rotation from this limit angle.
