Systems, methods and containers for forming a beverage. A beverage container includes an enclosure arranged with a movable element that is movable to pierce a membrane and permit beverage material in the container to exit. The movable element can also be moveable to permit pressurized gas entry into the container and through the membrane. Gas can be introduced into the container to force beverage material to exit the container. A gas inlet port can be provided with the enclosure and arranged to mate with a gas source of a beverage machine.

A closure, for rotatably coupling with a container to cover an opening of the container, includes a lid and a lever. The lid includes a primary panel defining a top surface, a skirt configured to couple with the container, and a stop positioned adjacent the top surface of the primary panel. The lid defines an outermost perimeter, and a footprint of the lid is defined within the outermost perimeter. The lever is rotably coupled with the lid to rotate relative to the lid between a use position and a storage position. When the lever is in the storage position, the lever is maintained substantially within the footprint of the lid. When the lever is in the use position, the lever extends outwardly beyond the outermost perimeter of the lid contacting the stop of the lid such that force applied to lever is transferred to the lid via the stop.

The present document describes a cap (110) for closing a container (114), the container having a neck (112) with an upper edge (118) defining a discharge opening (116). The cap comprises a lid (122) and a seal gasket (136) for sealingly engaging the neck of the container. The lid has at least one inwardly extending projection (132) for supporting the seal gasket.

A tamper-evident closure assembly is provided for a container having a neck defining an opening. The closure assembly includes a base cap configured for securing with the neck of the container. The base cap includes an aperture for providing access to the opening of the container in the neck. The closure assembly further includes an overcap configured for securing with the base cap and configured to cover the aperture in the base cap when the overcap is secured to the base cap. First and second tamper-evidencing members are associated with the base cap and the overcap, respectively. The first tamper-evidencing member provides an indication when the base cap has been removed from the neck, and the second tamper-evidencing member provides an indication when the overcap has been removed from the base cap.

The spout cap of the present invention includes: a cap body that tubularly surrounds a mouth portion of a spout body, and is an injection molded article made of resin; and a sealing film that is bonded to one side in a penetration direction of the cap body and can be thermally bonded to a tip surface of the mouth portion. The cap body includes a tubular body portion, and a tab portion disposed outside in a caliber direction with respect to the body portion. The tab portion includes a tab base portion that projects outward in the caliber direction from the other side in the penetration direction of the body portion, and a tab body portion that extends from the tab base portion toward the one side in the penetration direction and faces the body portion on an outside in the caliber direction.

A spout cap is a spout cap for closing a mouth portion of a spout main body, and includes a cylindrical body portion made of resin, and a sealing film joined to the body portion, in which the sealing film has a thermal bonding layer which is configured to join to a distal end surface of the mouth portion when the mouth portion is closed.

A closure assembly for a container filled or fillable with a pourable product comprising at least a lid having a first rim, a ring member having a second rim facing the first rim and one or more coupling elements, each one being connected to the first rim and to the second rim. Each coupling element comprises at least one respective intermediate portion, one respective first curved portion connected to the first rim and the intermediate portion and one respective second curved portion connected to the second rim and the intermediate portion. The intermediate portion is inclined with respect to the first rim and/or the second rim.

A closure assembly for a container filled or fillable with a pourable product, the closure assembly comprising: a collar including an outer threaded portion; a lid including inner threaded portion, wherein the inner threaded portion and the outer threaded portion are configured to allow for fastening the lid to the collar by rotating the lid relative to the collar in a first rotation direction and for loosening the lid from the collar by rotating the lid relative to the collar in a second rotation direction; a ring member; a cutting device; a control device configured to control the cutting device; one or more coupling elements, each having a first end connected to the lid and a second end connected to the ring member, wherein the first end is positioned downstream of the second end along the second rotation direction.
