A bottle includes a lock ring that has an upright spire structure that has a closed top end and the opposing open bottom end including a plurality of flexible fins that are configured to interlockingly mate with the locking protrusions so as to prevent removal of the lock ring relative to the base container upon engagement of the flexible fins to the locking protrusions. A removable cap is coupled to the lock ring.

A tamper-evident closure (101) for a container neck comprises a first portion (105, 106), a second portion (102, 104) comprising a window (103) through which a view of the first portion is visible, a locking mechanism, and an RFID device (107) associated with the first portion (105, 106). The second portion (102, 104) is rotatable relative to the first portion (105, 106) upon first opening of the tamper-evident closure (101) from a first position in which the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) are in a first relative relation and the RFID device (107) is aligned with the window (103) and is readable, to a second position in which the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) are in a second relative relation and the RFID device (107) is masked by the second portion (102, 104) and is not readable.

A container assembly including a pouch, spout and closure is provided. The closure includes a tamper-evident band comprising two or more wall sections. Adjacent wall sections of the tamper band may be connected to one another with frangible connectors configured to break upon twist-off of the closure from the spout. The closure also includes one or more support walls supported between an outer wall and central wall of the closure. The closure further includes one or more hinges attaching the ends of the wall sections of the tamper band to the lower ends of the support walls. The hinges are configured to increase the resistance required to break or otherwise distort the frangible connections of the tamper-evident band, so as to prevent or lower the risk of accidental or inadvertent breakage of the tamper-evident band prior to twist-off of the closure from the spout.

A container (100), comprising a thread (120) arranged around an opening (110) for engaging a corresponding thread (120) of a closure (400), more than four retention members (140) arranged around the opening (110), each retention member (140) having an end-face for abutting a member (510) on an interior surface of the closure (400) to impede unthreading of the closure (400), the retention members (140) being arranged such that a tangent (170) to each end-face of the retention members (140) intersects a plane (160, 350) bisecting the container (100) at an obtuse angle (171), wherein the retention members (140) are arranged in first and second groups, the first group (141, 410) comprising one retention member (140) having an end-face substantially parallel to the plane bisecting the container (100), and the second group (142, 420) comprising two or more retention members (140), the first and second groups being arranged on one side of the plane (160, 350), each in a respective quadrant of the container (100), the teeth of the second group (142, 420) have a first inter-tooth spacing, and a second inter-tooth spacing is provided between an end-face of the retention member of the first group (141, 410) and a first retention member of the second group (142, 420), and the second inter-tooth spacing is larger than the first inter-tooth spacing.

An injection closure system includes a bottle containing a product to be distributed and a closure attached to the bottle and including nozzles. Each of the nozzles includes two holes through which the product is distributed from the bottle. The bottle includes a plurality of teeth extending around an outer surface of the bottle and the closure includes a plurality of teeth extending around an inner surface of the closure. When the closure is in a fully attached position on the bottle, the teeth of the bottle contact the teeth of the closure to prevent the closure from being removed from the bottle.

A cap for use with a container is described. In one embodiment, the cap is a protective overcap. In one embodiment, the comprises a groove to receive a protrusion of the container; and at least one compartment having an internal void with a volume sufficient to enclose antennae of the container.

An aerosol container for an aerosol dispenser. The aerosol container has an outer container. The outer container has a closed end bottom and a longitudinally opposed threaded open neck. The open neck has one or more pawls or ratchets disposed near the neck. The pawls or ratchets allow a complementary valve to be threaded onto the neck. The valve has complementary ratchets or pawls. The ratchet and pawl combination co-acts to impede or even prevent reverse rotation and subsequent removal of the valve. The outer container may be made from a preform having the ratchets and/or pawls integrally molded as part of the injection molding process. A valve having a housing may have ratchets and or pawls integrally molded as part of the injection molding process.

The present invention relates to a container assembly including a container body for accommodating contents and a cap device detachably installed on the container body, and the cap device includes a first coupling part detachably coupled to the container body and a pass-through device through which the contents accommodated in the container body pass. The cap device includes a holder on which the first coupling part is formed and a cap body including the pass-through device, the holder includes a cylindrical inner wall and a bottom part extending from a bottom of the cylindrical inner wall along an outer circumference thereof, and the first coupling part is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical inner wall and screw-coupled to the neck part.

A pressure relief cap includes a body engageable with a container and rotatable about an axis for coupling or decoupling the body from the container. The pressure relief cap also includes a handle and a motion control mechanism operable to selectively couple the handle to the body. The motion control mechanism includes a clutch plate moveable between an engaged position in which the clutch plate permits torque transfer from the handle to the body, and a disengaged position in which the clutch plate inhibits torque transfer from the handle to the body. The pressure relief cap also includes a relief valve for releasing pressure in response to elevated pressure within the container.

Disclosed are various embodiments of a portable pet hydration device (103) with a tamper-evident screw-on lid (101) that is watertight for maintaining and transporting prefilled water meant for hydrating animals; particularly, domesticated [pet] animals. After initially opening the device (103) and breaking its tamper-evident seal (102), the pet owner can reseal the device for future use by utilizing the screw-on lid (101). The cup's lid (101) screws securing onto outer continuous spiraling threads (201) on the cup's opening in order to create a watertight seal. The device's sealable nature allows the pet owner to store the device (103) in any position during travel without concern of leakage or to leave the device (103) open on the floor for indoor use. Once the contents have been consumed, the device can be disposed; thus, alleviating the need to constantly clean, refill, and maintain the device for future use.
