Abstract: A canister containing an active agent wherein the canister includes a canister body having a peripheral body wall defining an upper opening and a non-removable snap-on cap. The cap includes a peripheral skirt. The peripheral body wall of the canister includes a step formed between a first portion of the peripheral body wall and a second portion located beneath the first portion. The first portion is thinner than the second portion to form the step, wherein an inner shape of the peripheral skirt and an outer shape of the first portion of the peripheral body wall form a snap-on fit, wherein the cap surrounds the first portion. A vertical extension of the peripheral skirt is smaller than a vertical extension of the first portion of the peripheral body wall to form a gap between the step and the peripheral skirt.

Abstract: A package containing tamper evident features includes a closure for closing the package and an access point that provides access to contents of the package. The closure includes a ring surrounding the closure which is connected to the package, a lid, substantially covering the access point when the lid is closed on the package, a removable tab secured between a portion of the lid and the ring and a plurality of tear off webs between the ring and the lid. The tear off webs are releasably connected between the ring and the lid. Opening of the package by opening the lid requires both removal of the tab from the tube and breaking of the first tear off webs. Removal of the tab forms a window at least partially provided in the lid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a child safety closing device (1) associated with a container (2), operating according to a design of two plugs (3, 4) embedded into each other, and allowing a vertical translation movement of the outer plug (4) relative to the inner screw-threaded plug (3) providing an unscrewing possibility and fitted with a first-opening indicator ring (5) connected by breakage bridges (8) to the outer plug (4) capable of vertical translation movement, characterized in that: a) said ring (5) has on its inner surface notches (9) for preventing its rotation when unscrewing the device by interaction with corresponding notches (10) formed on the neck of the associated container inside a peripheral groove (11) outside said collar, in order to induce the braking of the bridges by shearing; b) the upper wall of the groove (11) defines a guiding shoulder (12) for said ring (5) during the vertical translation movement of the ring (5) when connected to the outer plug; c) the notches (10) inside the groove (5

Abstract: A stopper for closing a dispensing opening of a container which includes a body element having a top face and a bottom face, the bottom face being directed towards the inside of the container; a moving element which is situated at the top face of the body element, wherein the moving element is movable from an initial position in which the moving element does not extend beyond the top face in the plane of the top face, to an opening position in which the moving element is moved to extend at least partly beyond the outer extension of the top face, wherein the moving element provides, a gripping surface for a user to remove the body element from the dispensing opening. The moving element substantially covers the entire top face of the body element in the initial position.

Abstract: A container for loosely stored products comprises a) a container body comprising a peripheral body wall having an inner peripheral body groove; b) a cover comprising a cover skirt having an outwardly facing sealing portion with an apex that seals against the inner peripheral body groove when the cover is in a closed condition thereby forming a seal of a sealing line type; and c) a hinge connecting the container body and the cover. The apex of the cover skirt and the inner peripheral body groove provide the only seal between the cover and the container body and the only locking element that holds the cover in the closed condition on the container body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polymer compositions comprising (a) a polymer containing hydroxyl alkylene repeating units and (b) an additive selected from compounds of the formulae (1) to (6) wherein Ra1, Ra2, Ra3 and Ra4 can be the same or different and independently represent a group selected from the moieties having formula (A) or formula (B), wherein Rb is selected from hydrogen, C1-6 alkyl, C1-6 alkoxy and —CO—C1-4 alkyl.

Abstract: A canister including a canister body containing a bottom wall and at least one sidewall with inner and outer sidewall surfaces and an upper rim, and a closing element containing a top wall with an outer surface and an inner surface, and a fixing portion surrounding the top wall. The top wall or the bottom wall or at least one sidewall include a membrane region with a predetermined permeability. The fixing portion includes an elevated or recessed snap portion around its outer periphery shaped to correspond to the inner sidewall surface of the sidewall of the cylindrical canister body and form a snap connection with the canister body. The closing element is fixed to the canister body such that the outer surface of the top wall does not extend beyond the upper rim of the sidewall of the canister body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a hydrated moisture control substance comprising the steps: (i) providing a predetermined amount by weight of humidity control substance having a moisture content lower than the moisture content desired with respect to the relative humidity of the atmosphere to be established and/or maintained within a sealable packaging material, (ii) determining the amount of water necessary in order to impart the desired moisture content to the humidity control substance, (iii) introducing said predetermined amount of the humidity control substance into a mixing apparatus, (iv) introducing said amount of water into the mixing apparatus under mixing and allowing the humidity control substance to adsorb the water to form the hydrated humidity control substance.
