CAN ENDS HAVING RE-CLOSABLE POUR OPENINGS
Re-closable mobile packages are disclosed. An example can end includes a center panel having a pour opening, a first wall extending from the center panel around a perimeter of the pour opening, and a cover rotatably coupled to the center panel. The cover is rotatable relative to the pour opening between a first position and a second position. The cover interlocks with the first wall when the cover is in the first position to prevent access to the pour opening. The cover exposes the pour opening when cover is in the second position.
CLOSURE SYSTEM FOR BEVERAGE CANS
A closure system for a beverage container includes a lid with upper and lower sides, a drinking orifice, a closure member for closing the drinking orifice, and an operating member for manually closing the drinking orifice by a user. The closure member is positioned at the lower side of the lid and fixedly connected with the operating member on the upper side of the lid, the closure member configured to overlap the drinking orifice in a closed position. A movement of the operating member in a first direction along a first axis substantially parallel to the upper side of the lid causes movement of the closure member from the closed position and opening of the drinking orifice, and a movement of the operating member along the first axis in a second direction causes movement of the closure member into the closed position and reclosure of the drinking orifice.
DEVICE FOR EXTRACTING A STRAW FROM A CONTAINER
The invention relates to a device (30) for extracting a straw (100) from a container (1) closed by a lid (3) and presenting an orifice (17). The device (30) comprises: a stopper (37) suitable for being attached to and detached from the lid (3) in order to close and open the orifice (17); and a body (31) connected to the stopper (37) and suitable for being inserted inside the container (1) through the orifice (17), and including: an abutment (35) on which a corrugated portion (105) of the straw (100) is suitable for resting when the stopper (37) is attached to the orifice (17), and which is suitable for entraining said corrugated portion (105) while the stopper (37) is being detached in order to extract the straw (100) from the container (1) through the orifice (17); and at least one opening (34) through which the straw (100) can be disengaged from the device (30) when the stopper (37) is detached from the lid (3).
CLOSURE ASSEMBLY FOR A BEVERAGE CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR REPEATABLY CLOSING A BEVERAGE CONTAINER BY MEANS OF A CLOSURE ASSEMBLY
The invention relates to a closure assembly (1) for a beverage container (2), at least comprising:—a lid element (3) having an opening (4); and—a closure element (5) for repeatably closing the opening (4), the closure element being disposed on the lid element (3); wherein the lid element (3) has an outside (6) and an inside (7), and the opening (4) has an opening edge (8) and an opening plane (9) formed by the opening edge (8); wherein the closure element (5) has at least a base part (10), a tab (11) and a lever element (12); wherein the base part (10) comprises a frame part (13), which is disposed on the opening edge (8) and has a window (14), and a flap (15), which is pivotably connected to the frame part (13) in order to close the window (14) and thus the opening (4); wherein the tab (11) is pivotably connected to the frame part (13) by means of a first axis of rotation (16); and wherein the lever element (12) is connected to the tab (11) by means of a second axis of rotation (17) and to the flap (15) by means of a third axis of rotation (18). The invention also relates to a method for repeatably closing an opening (4) of a beverage container (2) by means of a closure assembly (1).
CAN LID, CAN AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A CAN LID
A can lid for a can includes a lid panel with a pouring opening, an actuating element on an upper side of the lid panel, and a closure element disposed on a lower side of the lid panel which faces an interior of the can with the can lid attached thereto. The closure element is shiftable between a closed position, in which the closure element closes the pouring opening in a liquid-tight and/or gas-tight manner, and an open position, in which the pouring opening is at least partially uncovered, along the lid panel substantially translationally in a guided manner by the actuating element. The closure element and the actuating element are made of a metallic material and are fastened to one another by a riveted connection and/or a welded connection that moves along a guide slot in the lid panel during shifting of the closure element.
BEVERAGE CONTAINER INFUSION PORT AND METHOD OF USE
There is provided an infusion septum for a beverage container and more specifically, an infusion septum that is integrated within a beverage can end or a container cap and a method of infusion.
Resealable closure for a beverage container including concealed electronic device
A closure for containers providing a seal when closed. A pull tab lifted to open provides a venting action, and a pour opening. A sanitary platform covers a drinking area around the pour opening. Closure contains electronic device components triggered to engage a user in games of chance through the use of a cellular phone.
Closure latching system
An easy-opening end closure that may also be reclosed, suitable for joining to a container. A cover panel is bonded around its perimeter to an end panel with a rotatable lever interposed between them. To open the closure, a user applies force to the rotating lever to move it axially around an attachment point and progressively debond the seal perimeter. In this process, latching mechanisms ensure uni-directional movement of the lever relative to the shutter and joining of the two components at the end of the rotational sweep.
CONTAINER WITH HIGH MOISTURE BARRIER PROPERTIES AND A RECLOSEABLE POUR SPOUT
A paperboard substrate that can be used to provide a food packaging particle is provided having a water vapor barrier layer comprising HDPE in combination with a nucleating agent which is extruded on to a paperboard substrate. The resulting substrate has sufficiently good water vapor barrier when properties that dry foods such as cereals do not require a bag or inner liner as a separate moisture barrier.
End closure with venting
An easy-opening end closure that may also be reclosed, suitable for joining to a container. A cover panel is bonded around its perimeter to an end panel with a rotatable lever interposed between them. To open the closure, a user applies force to the rotating lever to move it axially around an attachment point and thereby progressively debonding a substantial portion of the bond perimeter. The closure incorporates means for equilibrating pressure in the internal headspace of the container with the outside ambient for improved pouring.
