The closure (1) has a cover cap (2), which is retractably formed on the closure (1) by means of a hinge (3). On the sides of the closure (1) and the cover cap (2), barbs (12, 27) are formed that yield outwardly, when shutting the cover cap (2) due to bulging of the cover cap (2) transversely to the closing direction. The barbs (12) on the closure (1) thus slide over their outer edge and then engage by elastic reversal of the bulge. The cover cap (2) is then fixed onto the closure (1) in a sealing and secure manner. The cover cap (2), using its front region, rests with its edge (11) on a step (9) on the closure (1). This edge (9) is slidable onto the plane of the step (9) by pressing on the front region in the direction of the hinge (3). This creates a bilateral bulge of the lateral edges (10) of the cover cap (2) so that the barbs (26) on the cover cap (2) disengage from those (12) on the closure (1). Thereafter, the cover cap (10) can then be pivoted open about the hinge (3), by means of persistent pressure on its front region, under elastic reversal of the bulges after releasing the pressure.

An improved snap-on/twist off closure which is very durable. The invention is also directed to a package comprising the closure, e.g., a bottle in combination with the closure. The closure includes an upper wall defining an opening and a cylindrical snap on pipe depending from the upper wall. The pipe includes threads 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 and a guidance recess. The resistance recess and the guidance recess accommodate a forcing element on a shoulder of the bottle and permit unscrewing of the closure

Disclosed is a cap (4) for a container (1) and a container (1) thereof. The cap (4) configured to be mounted on the container body (2) comprises a cap body (15) formed with a liquid path (24) and a gas path (25) therein, wherein the liquid path (24) is configured for liquid to go through from the container (1) and the gas path (25) is configured for gas to go through to balance pressures inside and outside the container (1), and a top plate (16); characterized in that the top plate (16) is detachably connected with the cap body (15) to seal the liquid path (24) and the gas path (25).

A multiple chamber dispenser assembly for containing and dispensing spices includes a cylinder that has a pair of chambers each is integrated within the chamber to contain a respective granular spice. A strainer is integrated into the cylinder and the strainer extends partially across the cylinder such that the strainer defines an exposed portion of the opening extending into the cylinder. In this way the exposed portion of the opening facilitates each of the chambers to be filled with the respective granular spice. Furthermore, the strainer is foraminous to facilitate each of the chambers to dispense the respective granular spice through the strainer. A plurality of lids is each hingedly coupled to the cylinder and each of the lids is aligned with a respective one of the chambers for opening and closing the respective chamber.

An improved snap-on/twist off closure which is very durable. The invention is also directed to a package comprising the closure, e.g., a bottle in combination with the closure. The closure includes an upper wall defining an opening and a cylindrical snap on pipe depending from the upper wall. The pipe includes threads 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 and a guidance recess. A bottom rim of the pipe, the resistance recess and the guidance recess are in contact with a forcing element on a shoulder of the bottle and guide the closure into positions permitting unscrewing of the closure.

There is described lid-spout assembly for a package having a designated pour opening and being filled with a pourable product. The lid-spout assembly comprises at least a collar, a coupling ring arranged around a portion of the collar, a lid and a connecting element connecting the lid and the coupling ring with one another. The collar comprises a first annular interaction ridge and the coupling ring has at least one flap comprising at least one engagement surface abutting and/or designed to abut against an abutment surface of the first annular interaction ridge. The collar also comprises a second annular interaction ridge protruding from the outer surface of the collar and being axially displaced from the first annular interaction ridge. The flap further comprises at least one contact surface designed to interact and/or interacting with a guiding surface of the second annular interaction ridge so as to direct the engagement surface towards and/or against the abutment surface.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods provided herein are useful for dispensing a fluid, such as a thixotropic fluid. In some embodiments, a bottle having a closure cap includes a flip top, a base, and a disk, where the base and disk define a mixing chamber configured to facilitate mixing of any serum or liquid separated from the fluid back therein. In some configurations, the base has a central opening through which the fluid exits and an internal shaft with a non-planar end surface opposite the central opening. In some configurations, the non-planar end surface and the disk define channels between the mixing chamber and the internal shaft. In some embodiments, the disk includes a central opening, a plurality of partial annular openings through a planar surface of the disk, and projections extending into the mixing chamber.

A double container pouring cap that can abut an air valve in an intended state and stably exhibit performance related to the air valve, and a double container includes: an air valve that can abut on and separate from a back surface of a cap body, and blocks air flow from a vent to an outside air inlet, while allowing air flow from the outside air inlet to the vent; and an inner plug provided to face the back surface of the cap body with the air valve interposed between, and including a regulation part that abuts on a part of the air valve and limits separation of the air valve from the back surface of the cap body. A first abutting surface of the air valve where the regulation part abuts is a flat surface.

A container includes a bottom wall and a side wall. Multiple vertically-crushable units are formed in the side wall, each unit of the multiple units includes mountain fold lines formed by sides of parallelograms and valley fold lines formed by diagonal lines of the parallelograms, and the multiple units are stacked in tiers such that each pair of the parallelograms in upper and lower tiers have a common lower/upper side and the parallelograms in the upper and lower tiers alternately become line-symmetrical with respect to the common lower/upper side.

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.
