Represented and described is a resealable pouring element for cardboard/plastic composite packages, in particular beverage packages, with a base element having a circumferential fastening flange as well as an external thread, with opening means arranged at least in the unopened state of the pouring element in the interior of the base element and with a screw cap with internal thread, wherein the opening means are designed such that when the composite package is initially opened by unscrewing the screw cap by breaking the composite material of the package or a barrier layer located in the base element, a pour opening is created inside the pouring element and wherein at least one tamper-evident seal is arranged between the base element and the screw cap. In order to reduce the assembly effort for such a resealable pouring element, it is provided that an anchor ring is arranged below the screw cap and is connected to the screw cap via a hinge a rotationally fixed manner and in that the tamper-evident seal consists of an indicating element, whose one end is fixedly connected to the anchor ring or the screw cap and in which the other end is connected to the anchor ring by means of a predetermined breaking point in such manner that the predetermined breaking point of at least one mandrel element arranged on the fastening flange is broken when the screw cap is unscrewed and thus indicates to the consumer that an initial opening has already taken place.

The invention relates to a closure consisting of a screw cap (10) with a tamperproof strip (3). The screw cap has at least one cylindrical cap casing (2) with an inner thread and a circumferential tamperproof strip at the lower open end of the cap casing, said tamperproof strip being connected to the lower edge of the cap casing along easily tearable weakness lines (13, 14), wherein the tamperproof strip remains captively connected to the cap casing after a tearing process along the weakness lines by means of holding strips (15, 16). The aim of the invention is to design a captive screw cap with a tamperproof strip in such a manner that after the screw cap has been unscrewed and released from the bottleneck opening, the screw cap is folded away or tilted into a position in which the screw cap does not interfere with the additional use of the bottle or with pouring or drinking out of the bottle and can remain there without additional measures. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the holding strips are formed by two weakness lines, each of which is interrupted at least once in the circumferential direction and which partly overlap in the circumferential direction and run at an axial distance to each other at least in the overlap region. The separating web (11, 12) of each of the two weakness lines is bridged by the respective other weakness line preferably at an axial distance.

The present invention refers to an automatic opening device for a package, the device comprising an spout, a cap and a means for tearing the sealing element of a package, which can be either the aluminium layer of an aseptic carton package, or a sealing element located under the spout or the plastic material of a plastic pouch or the like.

A pack having an opening region provided in the top of the pack which forms a pouring opening after it is cut through by an applied pouring element, the pouring element including a base body, a cutting element arranged movably therein, and a screw cap, the screw cap being used for first opening of the pack by actuating the cutting element and for reclosure, and the opening region having a weakened line. The weakened line has a round first section and a second section. The first time the composite pack is opened by moving the cutting element, the weakened line is cut in the first section and tears in the second section.

A device for opening and re-closing food-containing packages includes a pouring element with a circumferential flange for fastening to the package and a neck for pouring, as well as a cutting element, which is arranged inside the neck and has a plurality of teeth, which are arranged around the circumference and directed towards the package, and a screw cap, the cutting element cutting a pouring opening into the composite film material as a result of a rotational movement of the screw cap when the package is opened for the first time. The teeth of the cutting element have a steep gradient at the tip thereof, a shallower gradient at the flanks thereof and a steep gradient again at the bases thereof.

An opening/closing device for a container for pourable products is disclosed. The device includes a collar combinable with the container at a perforable portion thereof, a moveable cap by a first guiding means, which are interposed between the cap and the collar, on the outer surface of the collar, and a cutting element constrainedly movable by second guiding means, which are interposed between the cutting element and the collar. Inside the collar, the device has pushing means for the cutting element, which are actuated by the cap during its first displacement on the outer surface of the collar, for promoting the displacement inside the collar of the cutting element in the direction of the perforable portion. The cap is also has a through hole for pouring product and a lid adapted to seal, or open, the passage of the through hole.
