A lid-spout assembly including at least a spout having a pouring outlet, a lid configured to selectively close and open the pouring outlet, a tethering element fixed to the lid and the spout and a tamper evidence element rupturably fixed to one of the lid and the spout and fixedly connected to the other one of the lid and the spout.

A container and methods of manufacturing and operating the same are provided where the container has a cap that is removable yet childproof. The cap is positioned in a tubular body, and the cap has a generally smooth or continuous upper surface to reduce or eliminate surfaces or edges for a child to grasp. To operate the cap, a disc in the center of the cap is pushed below a lip, and a user grasps the lip to pull the cap from the tubular body. The force needed to press the disc away from the lip is low enough for an adult but too high for a child. Moreover, the cap forms an interference fit with the tubular body with enough friction force to prevent the cap from falling out of the tubular body but is low enough that the cap can be pulled from the tubular body.

A container includes a containing structure defining an opening and an annular lip radially extending from a distal edge of the opening. A cover is selectively and water-tightly closing the opening. The cover includes a annular rib formed on a bottom thereof and a flange radially extending therefrom wherein the flange abuts against the annular lip when the cover water-tightly closing the opening. A tongue extends from the flange and a pre-broken line is formed on the tongue, wherein the pre-broken line encircles a pre-broken portion and a stopper is formed on a bottom of the pre-broken portion. The tongue forms a griphook for user to easily detach the cover from the containing structure when the pre-broken portion is detached from the tongue along the pre-broken line.

A tamper-resistant air-permeable container includes a cover having a bottom that is formed with a first wall having primary troughs and primary blocks and formed with a retaining engagement portion; and a box including a receiving space and having a second wall that is provided with a first step part lower than the second wall and a second step part lower than the first step part to define forming therebetween a retaining engagement groove. The second wall is formed with secondary troughs, each including a curved section, such that each of the secondary troughs has a curved configuration. When the cover is combined with the box, the retaining engagement portions of the cover are fit into and retained in the retaining engagement groove. The primary troughs and the secondary troughs form passages in communication with the receiving space.

Tamper-evident plastic container comprises a base portion having a sidewall and a base flange extending outwardly from at least a portion of the sidewall, as well as a lid portion having a lid tab joined to the base flange by a hinge, wherein the lid portion has an open position and a closed position. The lid portion is configured to lockingly engage the base portion in the closed position. One of the base flange or the lid tab has a non-linear path of weakness formed therein to define a frangible connection, wherein the frangible connection is configured to be ruptured to initially open the lid portion from the closed position. The non-linear path of weakness is spaced from the hinge to define a tamper indicator region between the non-linear path of weakness and the hinge, wherein the tamper indicator region remains joined to the hinge after the frangible connection is ruptured. Methods of containing a product in a tamper-evident container are also disclosed.
