The present invention relates to a container. More specifically, it relates to a container having a lower portion with a bottom and a plurality of walls defining an interior space. The container also includes a cover attached to one of the walls via a hinge and configured to move between a closed position and a fully open position, wherein in said closed position, access to the interior space is prohibited, and in said fully open position, access to the interior space is permitted and the cover is at an angle (α) of greater than or equal to 90 degrees with respect to the lower portion.

Screw capping devices are configured to remain tethered to a container after opening of the container. The screw capping devices include a cylindrical wall having a section having an end closed by a bottom and a section having an open end, the section being connected to the section by a circumferential junction having a non-breakable connection and a breakable connection, the section further having a breakable connection extending parallel to the circumferential junction, the breakable connection and the breakable connection being configured to be broken during a first unscrewing of the section. The breaking of the breakable connections creates two arms retaining the section to the container.

Represented and described is a resealable pouring element for cardboard/plastic composite packages, in particular beverage packages, with a base element with a circumferential fastening flange as well as an external thread, with opening means arranged at least in the unopened state of the pouring element in the interior of the base element and with a screw cap with internal thread. The opening means are designed such that when the composite package is initially opened by unscrewing the screw cap by breaking the composite material of the package or a barrier layer located in the base element, a pour opening is created inside the pouring element. In order to ensure a fastening of the screw cap to the pouring element in such a resealable pouring element, even in the unscrewed stale, it is provided that an anchor ring is arranged below the screw cap, is connected thereto in a rotationally-fixed manner and is connected to the base element so as to be radially freely rotatable around the base element and in a tension-resistant manner in the axial direction and in that, to securely fasten the screw cap to the base element, even in the unscrewed state, the anchor ring is connected to the screw cap a hinged manner via a hinge element, whose pivot axis is aligned tangentially to the outer circumference of the screw cap.

A cap includes a lateral wall extending about an axis and a transversal wall positioned at one end of the lateral wall, a separation line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring; a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container; the separation line extends about an axis and being circumferentially interrupted to leave the retaining ring and the closing element joined; wherein the retaining ring comprises a joining portion, a first connecting band, and a second connecting band; a tab, interposed between the first connecting band and the second connecting band and being protruding, or aligned with respect to it, so that, when the closing element is in an open condition and the connecting bands keep the closing element connected to the retaining ring, the tab can rest on the neck.

Described is closing cap for a container comprising a lateral wall extending about an axis, a separation line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring, which comprises a retaining portion which extends up to a free edge of the retaining ring and is configured to engage internally with a ring for locking a neck of the container in such a way as to remain anchored to the neck, and a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container rotating the closing element about the axis. The separation line is circumferentially interrupted to define in the lateral wall a joining zone in which the retaining ring and the closing element are joined. The cap comprises in addition an incision line, which is also provided on the lateral wall to define, in association with the separation line at least a first connecting band and a second connecting band for connecting together the joining zone and the retaining portion. The incision line comprises a pair of lateral stretches wherein a first lateral stretch defines, with a first part of the separation line, the first connecting band and a second lateral stretch defines, with a second part of the separation line, the second connecting band. The lateral stretches differ in angular extension to define connecting bands of different lengths, the angular difference between the longest lateral stretch and the other lateral stretch being greater than or equal to 5° and less than or equal to 45°.

A drink cup lid includes a ring-shaped brim mount adapted to mate with a brim of a drink cup and a central closure surrounded by the ring-shaped brim mount and including an annular top wall formed to include a top aperture and an adjacent liquid-discharge outlet. The drink cup lid further includes an outlet closure configured to close the liquid-discharge outlet.

An apparatus is described. The apparatus is a closure or a lid. The closure includes a body portion, a tab, and a flange portion. The body portion comprises a first locking feature. The tab is coupled to the body portion of the closure via a hinge. The tab includes a plurality of edges and a second locking feature. The tab has a closed position and an open position, and when in the open position, the second locking feature is coupled to the first locking feature. When the tab is in a first condition, the plurality of edges of the tab pass through the flange portion from one position to another position without interference. When the tab is in a second condition, at least one of the plurality of edges of the tab overlaps the flange portion such that the flange portion interferes with the movement of the tab through the flange portion.

A combination of a closing cap (1′) for a container (2) and a neck (201) of the container (2), wherein the cap (1′) comprises a lateral wall (3) extending about an axis (Z) and a transversal wall (4) positioned at an end of the lateral wall (3), a separation line (5′) of the lateral wall (3) defining a retaining ring (301′), configured to remain anchored to the neck (201) and a closing element (302) to open or close the container (2). The retaining ring (301′) comprises a retaining portion (303), configured to engage internally with a locking ring (202) of the neck (201). The retaining ring (301′) comprises a joining portion (305) which allows the retaining ring (301′) to be joined to the closing element (302), a first connecting band and a second connecting band, and a tab positioned between the first connecting band and the second connecting band.

A closure device for a container that defines a neck and an annular flange. The closure device comprises a cap body, a tamper evidence (TE) band positioned below the annular flange, a tongue that extends from the cap body towards the tamper evidence band and first and second leashes positioned on either side of the tongue. The first and second leashes connect the cap body to the tamper evidence (TE) band, and allow the cap body to be removed from the neck of the container while remaining attached to the tamper evidence (TE) band. When the cap body is actuated to a fully open position the first and second leashes act as a torsion spring for causing the tongue to exert a force against the neck of the container for retaining the cap body in the fully open position.

A closure includes a cap having a top wall and a skirt perpendicular to the top wall and extending downwardly from the top wall to a lower edge. The skirt includes an inner surface having a sealing formation. A band is concentric with and attached to the lower edge of the skirt by a plurality of frangible members. A tab is formed at a hinge location from the band and extending from the lower edge of the skirt to one or more lines of weakness.
