Screw cap, loading piston, and method for aligning the screw cap and the loading piston in relation to each other and a method for screwing a screw cap onto a threaded neck portion of a packaging container. The screw cap can include a base portion having a top and a bottom surface, an annular portion raised from the base portion, the annular portion having an inner and an outer surface, and at least one first threaded portion arranged on the inner surface of the annular portion, wherein the base portion can include engagement means, such that the screw cap can engage a tool with at least one complementary engagement means in a process of screwing the cap onto the container with the complementary threaded neck portion.

The present invention provides an apparatus for detecting the presence or absence of an analyte in liquid sample, including: a collection chamber, including an opening for collecting a liquid sample; a testing element for testing the analyte in liquid sample; and a cover for covering the opening of the collection chamber; wherein the apparatus further includes a prompting device for prompting if the cover is covered to a specified location, and the prompting device shall at least includes a first element and a second element, the first element is in contact with the second element, wherein one element vibrates to produce a sound. In some preferred ways, the second element produces friction with the first element, to cause one of the elements to generate vibrations. The apparatus in the present invention can allow the prompting sound to be clear and loud.

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.

A container body has a neck defining an opening with an axis. The neck includes a projection that projects radially away from the axis. A cap includes a wall that defines at least part of an exterior of the cap. The wall includes an aperture extending therethrough. The cap is removably attached to the neck and supported for movement on the neck between a first position and a second position. The wall is resiliently flexible for radial movement between a retained position and an unretained position with respect to the neck. In the retained position the projection retains the cap in the first position. The wall, in the unretained position, allows movement of the cap from the first position toward the second position.

The closure cap for a container comprises an internal skirt (16) comprising a bore (16b) provided with at least one helical screw thread (19) for screwing said cap onto the container, an external skirt (18) radially surrounding said internal skirt at least partially, and a front wall (14) from which said internal and external skirts extend. The cap is produced by moulding at least one synthetic material. At least one recess (30) is formed on an outer surface (16a) of the internal skirt, remaining axially away from a front end face (16c) of said skirt.

A jar for cosmetic products that includes a base surmounted by a neck and a lid, the neck having a non-circular cross-section and including a rim. The neck includes at least one first assembly element, the lid including at least one second assembly element. The lid is configured so that: (1) when the lid is in a closed position: (1a) the at least one second assembly element is arranged under the rim; and (1b) the at least one second assembly element and the at least one first assembly element are nested together, and (2) when the lid is in an open position, the at least one second assembly element is disengaged from the at least one first assembly element and the rim The lid is configured to pass from one position to the other by rotation about the neck.

A shrink label for application to a bottle and a cap is provided to maintain the position of the cap relative to the bottle. The shrink label includes an interior surface defining an opening therethrough, a first adhesive strip extending circumferentially about the interior surface of the shrink label, and a second adhesive strip spaced a distance above the first adhesive strip and extending circumferentially about the interior surface of the shrink label. The first adhesive strip is aligned with a portion of the bottle and the second adhesive strip is aligned with a side portion of the cap such that an intersection point between the bottle and the cap is positioned between the first adhesive strip and the second adhesive strip. A perforation line can be included on the shrink label above the second adhesive strip for removal of the shrink label.

A universal attachment for connecting to a first device having a threaded portion and allowing for attachment of a second, different device to the first device where the first and second devices do not have compatible threaded portions for connection is described herein. The universal attachment is directed to consumers wanting to attach an external device to a threaded neck of an existing device without needing to match the thread shape, size, or dimensions of the original device.

A child-resistant container and closure, the container has a cylindrical neck, and an outer surface of the neck has three lug threads that consecutively run along the circumference of the neck. A pointer pointing upwards is present just below the neck. The closure has a central section and a skirt, the skirt has three male threads, wherein the three male threads can engage with the three lug threads. The outer surface of the skirt has a downward pointing pointer, wherein two pointers must be aligned for engaging and disengaging the three male threads and the three lug threads.

A container and a container engaging member. The container engaging member may include a sample holder or reservoir, a filtration element and collar. In the assembled condition, the sample holder or reservoir is upstream of the filtration element, the container is downstream of the filtration element, and the sample holder or reservoir is attached to the container. The container engagement member is engageable and disengageable from the bottle or container in a quick attach, quick release manner, such as with only a 90 degree, ¼ turn. A tactile and/or audible indication that the engagement is complete is provided.
