The closing element is interposed between the inlet opening and the pouring outlet and is rupturably fixed to an inner surface of the collar.

A pourable jar lid designed to removably engage with a jar, such as a mason jar, may include a lid body having a top surface and a lid lip extending away from the top surface, the lid lip having interior body threads thereon, wherein the interior body threads are designed to removably engage with threads on a neck of the jar; a pour spout extending upward from the top surface of the lid body, the pour spout including a raised wall defining a channel extending through the lid body, wherein an inner surface of pour spout has spout threads; and a pour spout cap hingeably attached to the top surface of the lid body, the pour spout cap including cap threads designed to removably engage with the spout threads, wherein the spout threads may have a thread gap therein.

There is described a lid-spout assembly for a package. The lid-spout assembly comprises at least a spout having a collar carrying a pouring outlet, a coupling ring arranged around a portion of the collar, a lid and a hinge element hinging the lid to the coupling ring. The lid is controllable between at least a closed configuration and an open configuration. The lid-spout assembly comprises an interaction assembly partially associated to the collar and partially associated to the lid and being designed such to determine a threshold force needed to be exceeded, in use, in order to control the lid from the closed configuration to the open configuration.

A spout is for a package having a designated pour opening and being filled with a pourable product. The spout comprises a collar carrying a pouring outlet, an inlet opening and a closing element controllable between an active position in which the closing element interrupts a fluidic connection between the pouring outlet and the inlet opening and an inactive position in which the closing element is configured to allow a fluidic connection between the pouring outlet and the inlet opening. The closing element comprises a peripheral portion contacting prior to a first control of the closing element from the active position to the inactive position an inner surface of the collar along an initial contact portion. The inner surface comprises a main surface portion extending from the initial contact portion towards the pouring outlet and an auxiliary surface portion extending from the initial contact portion to the inlet opening.

A condiment bottle includes a container and cap assembly. The cap assembly includes a securing part releasably connected to the container, a nozzle secured to the container by the securing part, and a closure part connected to both the securing part and the nozzle. The closure part is configured to move along a longitudinal axis of the condiment bottle from a closed position where the closure part sealingly engages the nozzle to an intermediate position where the closure part is spaced from and covering the top of the nozzle. The closure part is further configured to pivotally move from the intermediate position to an open position where the closure part is located along a sidewall of the nozzle.

A spout comprises a collar carrying a pouring outlet and an inlet opening for the pourable product and delimiting a flow channel. The collar comprises an inner surface delimiting the flow channel. The inner surface comprises at least a main surface portion and a slanted surface portion. The main and slanted surface portions are such that a first intersection of a first intersection plane with the inner surface results in at least one first one-dimensional curve, a second intersection of a second intersection plane with the inner surface results in at least one second one-dimensional curve. The first and second one-dimensional curves each comprise respective first and second portions lying on respectively the slanted surface portion and the main surface portion. The first one-dimensional curve is superimposable on the second one-dimensional curve such that at least the respective first portions and the respective second portions are superposed.

A two-piece lid (10) for a product container is provided and includes a base (102) attachable to the container, wherein the base having a corner portion, wherein the base defines a first opening (106) and a second opening (108) having a smaller size than the first opening, and the second opening having a depression (110) at the corner portion. The product container also has a single cover having a major portion (116) for removably covering the first opening and a minor portion (118) for removably covering the second portion, wherein the cover has a bottom surface and the minor portion of the cover has a skirt portion (120) on the bottom surface of the cover, and the skirt portion is sized to fit the depression on the base.

A seed container and shell receptacle for separately storing fresh and used seeds. The seed container and shell receptacle includes an outer container having at least one sidewall, an open upper end, and a removably securable base defining an interior outer volume. An inner container having at least one sidewall, an open top end, and an open bottom end nests within the outer container such that the base of the outer container acts as the inner container's base defining an interior inner volume. A lid is removably securable to the open upper end of the outer container and includes a first and second aperture giving access to the interior outer volume and interior inner volume, respectively. The first and second apertures can be sealed by a first and second sealing mechanism respectively.

A primary storage (2) container has a body portion (4), a neck portion (6) extending from the body portion, the neck portion providing an outlet of the primary storage container, an annular fitting (10) on the neck portion for fitting a closure (12) onto the primary storage container and at least one cutting element (14) extending outwardly of the fitting in a direction away from the outlet (8); and wherein the fitting has a first bayonet coupling (42) for releasably locking into the fitting a flange (36) forming a second bayonet coupling (44). A refill container (32) has a chamber portion (34), filled with a dose of a refill composition, the chamber portion having an annular flange defining (36) an opening (38) of the chamber portion (34), and a frangible film (40) covering the opening and attached to the annular flange (36), wherein the flange (36) has a male bayonet coupling (44). The primary storage container and the refill container (32) are combined in a packaging system.
