The disclosure relates to a closure having a sealing element for a fluid-filled container. The closure has at least one securing mechanism which is designed to be irreversibly changed in a visible manner during the first opening of the closure.

A refrigerant can tap with a tap body having an inlet and an outlet, an internal pin, a gasket, and a backflow preventer. The inlet and outlet of the tap body have a one-half inch ACME left-handed thread, the inlet for engaging the self-sealing valve of an R-1234yf can.

A dispensing closure system includes an upper closure portion and a lower closure portion including an axial flow conduit and a vent conduit. The upper closure portion is axially movable relative to lower closure portion between shipping and dispensing positions. A seal is disposed on the lower closure portion over the flow and vent conduits. A peripheral spacing strip is removably secured to the upper closure portion and engages with either the lower closure or the outside of the container to prevent movement. A piercing probe includes piercing elements in alignment with the flow and vent conduits for piercing the seal. In the shipping position, the piercing elements are spaced from the seal. However, when the spacing strip is removed and the upper closure portion is axially moved to the dispensing position, the piercing elements pierce the seal to open the flow conduit and the vent conduit.

An opening/closing device for a container for pourable products is disclosed. The device has a perforable portion and a base combinable with the container at the perforable portion, and a cutting element having a sharp end arranged on its lower side. The base also has first and second passages located in a region of the base spaced from the upper surface of the perforable portion when the base is combined with the container and define a cavity between the lower surface of the region and the upper surface of the perforable portion. The cutting element is shaped to impede when it moves from a first position to a second position, allowing passage of the pourable product through the first passage from the container to the second passage through the cavity.

The present invention relates to a tube closure assembly. The assembly includes a tube head that includes a neck and a closure liner sealing said neck, and a cap that includes a punch provided with at least one tooth. The one or more teeth are configured to peripherally cut said closure liner. The cap is configured to transition from an open flush position, in which the one or more teeth are flush with said closure liner, to a perforation position, in which the one or more teeth perforate the closure liner, then from the perforation position to an end-of-travel position allowing partial cutting of the closure liner, the transition from the perforation position to the end-of-travel position being carried out with an angular rotational range below 360.
