A reusable pour spout system that may be attached to different container types to dispense different substances, including course and fine granular materials and liquids. A port component has a proximal tubular end and a flange that is larger in diameter than the tubular portion. The flange further includes a hole-forming structure adapted to pierce the wall of a container, leading to a ramp that captures the container material when the port component is rotated by a user. This positions the flange within the container, with the tubular end exposed to pour the contents from the container. A cap may be provided to seal off the port. The tubular end of the port component, the nut, and the cap may all be threaded. Integrally formed port devices are also disclosed along with bolstering and reinforcing layers and materials to control hole formation.

A child resistant container can include a container body, a closed base, an open top, an exterior and a cap assembly configured to couple to the container body for closing the container. A cap assembly can include an inner cap configured to couple to a container body and an outer cap coupled to the inner cap. A first coupler can be coupled to the inner cap and a second coupler can be coupled to the outer cap and configured to optionally engage the first coupler. An outer cap can be configured to rotate relative to an inner cap when the outer cap is in one or more positions and to engage the inner cap when the outer cap is in one or more other positions. A child resistant container can be made from recyclable metal.

The invention relates to a pot (80) having a multipart setup, the pot comprising an enveloping pot (83) and a product pot (81), which is received in the enveloping pot (83) and serves for receiving a lotion or the like, the enveloping pot and the product pot being made of the same or different materials, intersections being formed between the different components for separation purposes, the intersections being realised as detachable form-fit, substance-to-substance or force-fit connections.

A cap for a fluid container includes a main body, an actuator ring slidable along the main body and having an annular groove, and a plurality of latches having secure and release states and that may be placed in the release state by contact with the actuator ring. A closure system for a fluid container includes the cap, and a lip attached to a fluid container that is engaged by the latches of the cap. The lip may be integral with a fluid container or part of an adapter that is connected to the fluid container. A method of automated handling of a container includes engaging an annular groove of an actuator ring of a cap using a robotic arm, driving the actuator ring, and removing the cap from the container. The method may further include transporting the container via engagement of the robotic arm with the cap.

A cap configured to be detachably attached to a mouth portion of a container body having a containment space for contents and close the mouth portion, includes: a transparent or semitransparent topped tubular outer lid portion; and a topped tubular inner lid portion located in close contact with an inner side of the outer lid portion so as to be relatively non-rotatable. A retaining protrusion having an inclined surface that is inclined inward in a downward direction and extends to a lower end of the outer lid portion is provided on an inner peripheral surface of the outer lid portion. The retaining protrusion engages with a retaining depression provided on an outer peripheral surface of the inner lid portion, to suppress separation between the outer lid portion and the inner lid portion.

The invention relates to a cosmetics container, in particular a mascara container (400), whose components are a container part (401), a container cap (402), a wiper, which is inserted into a container neck disposed on a container part, and an applicator (403), which is connected to the container cap and passes through the wiper with a brush rod provided with an applicator brush on its free end. The wiper is made of a plastic material in contrast to at least one of the other previously mentioned components, material intersections, which are realised as detachable form-fit, detachable substance-to-substance or detachable force-fit connections, being formed least partially between the different materials for separation purposes.

The invention relates to a closing cap arrangement (80) for being disposed on an outlet opening of a vessel realised as a pot or a bottle, the closing cap arrangement having a multipart design, the closing cap arrangement comprising an enveloping cap (81) and an inner cap (82) provided with a connective element for detachably connecting the closing cap arrangement to the outlet opening and realised independently of the enveloping cap, the inner cap and the enveloping cap being connected to each other via a detachable connection realised as a form-fit, substance-to-substance or force-fit connection.

A fastener-less valve cover plate assembly that can be used to enclose a pressure chamber, such as a valve chamber of a relay valve. Installation of the components of the fastener-less valve cover plate assembly is simplified as compared to prior art cover plates utilizing fasteners, while still providing suitable performance. In addition, the fastener-less valve cover plate assembly is not readily disassembled with common tools thereby discouraging tampering.
