The invention relates to a sealed container (1) comprising a container body (2) having a through-hole (8) that is delimited by a flange and is closed by a removable door (7) mounted on the flange, an annular seal (13) located between the flange and the door (7), the flange, the door (7) and the seal forming a sealed connection device that can be connected to a complementary connection device on a sterile enclosure by means of bayonet connection means in order to allow sterile communication between the sealed container and the sterile enclosure, characterized in that the seal (13) comprises, on its inner peripheral circumference, an annular attachment bead (130) for attaching the door (7) to the flange inserted into a notch (70) on the door (7).

Disclosed are configurations of inner and outer shells for a multi-piece closure assembly. The inner shell includes a base wall, and an outer skirt extending away from the base wall, carrying external thread segments, and including an axially outward portion, and an axially inward portion terminating in a grip petal portion having petals with radially inwardly projecting container engagement lugs and radially outwardly projecting outer shell engagement lugs. The outer shell includes a base wall, an inner skirt extending away from the base wall, and an outer skirt extending away from an outer periphery of the base wall at a location spaced radially outwardly from the inner skirt and including an internally threaded portion carrying internal thread segments and an unthreaded extension extending away from the threaded portion and on an axial side of the internally threaded portion opposite that of the base wall.

Embodiments of the present invention provide water bottle cap assemblies suitable for attachment to an endoscopic device and a water source. The water bottle cap assembly can include a plurality of ports and an engageable member to sealingly engage the cap with a water source. The assembly also includes a plurality of tubular members, each tubular member coupled to a respective port so as to be in fluid communication therewith. The assembly can include a cap having a grippable surface that is overmolded onto the cap. The cap can also have a soft inner seal on the interior surface, and the soft inner seal can be integrally formed with the overmolded grippable surface. The cap can have a top that is pressfit onto the main portion of the cap. The grippable surface material can be overmolded over the top of the cap.

A closure is provided for a pressure vessel or pipelines that can provide quick and easy access to the interior of a pressure vessel or pipeline and means for a pressure tight seal between the hub and door. The closure can incorporate means for mechanically fastening the door to the hub using an external split clamp ring actuated by a toggle mechanism. A locking mechanism can be provided to safeguard against unintended closure actuation and provides a layer of redundancy to the holding characteristics of the toggle mechanism. The locking mechanism can be interlocked to a pressure alert system to ensure any differential pressure condition contained within the closure is detected prior to disengaging the locking mechanism and actuating the toggle mechanism.

A self retaining bottle stopper fixture assembly configured to seal and opening of a bottle and to preserve an oxygen sensitive substance under pressure therein and/or for sealing the bottle for transport or horizontal storage. The assembly generally includes an anchor member for inserting onto a neck of a bottle or other container, and a retainer member for covering the stopper and coupling to the anchor member to secure the stopper to the bottle.

A composite closure which includes an improved sealing gasket material and shape. The Closure includes an end panel that is received in a circular plastic fitment having a central opening therein defined by an inwardly extending flange which over-lies in an outer periphery of the end panel and an integral skirt downwardly depending from the flange. The fitment includes an inwardly extending circumferential bead or bead segments which include a substantially non-deformable flat vertical surfaces that are substantially parallel to the axis of the closure and axially positioned to contact the radial outer-most edge of the end panel when the closure is fully applied to a container. The sealing gasket has the shape of an annulus with a particular cross-section and formed from a PVC free material.

The invention relates to a cap designed to be coupled to the neck of a container. The cap comprises an inner body and an outer body coupled around the inner body, the rotation of the outer body causing same to move in an axial direction with respect to the inner body. The inner body comprises a peripheral skirt having a lower part split into a plurality of feet. The feet comprise outer surfaces that form a frustoconical shape with a sloped generatrix converging upwards, and inner surfaces with projections that delimit a circular hollow. The cap also comprises a sealing device for preventing the rotation of the outer body with respect to the inner body.

A closure is provided for a pressure vessel or pipelines that can provide quick and easy access to the interior of a pressure vessel or pipeline and means for a pressure tight seal between the hub and door. The closure can incorporate means for mechanically fastening the door to the hub using an external split clamp ring actuated by a toggle mechanism. A locking mechanism can be provided to safeguard against unintended closure actuation and provides a layer of redundancy to the holding characteristics of the toggle mechanism. The locking mechanism can be interlocked to a pressure alert system to ensure any differential pressure condition contained within the closure is detected prior to disengaging the locking mechanism and actuating the toggle mechanism.

A container cap with integrated straw includes a cap body which carries a drinking straw and is attachable to a beverage container. The container cap engages a neck of the beverage container in a watertight seal to prevent spillage of the beverage from the beverage container during use. A cap retainer can embrace the container cap for enhancing the watertight fitting of the container cap against the neck of the beverage container. The drinking straw can include a distal closed end that opens in the event of user aspiration on the straw. The distal closed end can be provided on the straw or on a disconnectable straw extension.

A storage container or storage vessel is provided that includes an opening at its bottom or base. A lid element is provided at the bottom or base of the container/vessel that is movably mounted relative to an opening into the enclosed volume of the container/vessel. A clamping mechanism is associated with the body and lid of the container/vessel so as to releasably lock/secure the lid relative to the body. The body of the container/vessel features an aesthetically and/or artistically desirable shape or design that enhances the appeal and uniqueness of the container/vessel. The lid element of the container/vessel functions as the base of the container/vessel, thereby allowing the entirety of the body of the container/vessel (or such percentage as may be selected in a specific embodiment) to be incorporated into the aesthetically/artistically pleasing body design. A child-proof securement mechanism may be provided between the container and the lid element.
