Abstract: A closure is provided and comprises a top plate and a sidewall depending therefrom. The interior of the sidewall has a screw thread formation comprising a plurality of thread segments. The thread segments collectively define an engagement surface for engagement with an external thread formation on an associated container. A notional helical top surface with a constant pitch extends along the formation, and at least some, but not all, of the segments include material offset from the notional helical top surface towards the top plate.

Abstract: A closure (503) for a container neck (501), the closure (503) comprising a body (401) comprising a retention member (402) for retaining the body (401) on a container neck (501).

Abstract: The invention relates to a tamper evident closure cap (101). A tamper evident band is provided with an extension (107) having an upper edge (113) extending above an engagement surface (110) of a projection (109). The extension (107) and the projections (109) are arranged on an annular, circumferentially running band (105). When the closure is applied to a container, the extension (107) is clamped between the inner surface (114) of the tamper evident band or the closure and a retaining structure on a container finish.

Abstract: A flip-top dispensing closure is provided and comprises a base connectable to a container neck and a lid connected to the base by a hinge so as to be movable between a closed position and an open position. The closure comprises a tamper-evident drop band irreversibly moved from a first position to a second position to indicate if the lid has been opened. The lid comprises retention means for non-frangibly holding the band in the first position in an initial closed position, and as the lid is moved towards the open position the band is released from the retention means and moves to the second position.

Abstract: A device for retaining a self-closing valve in a closure is provided. The device comprises a body for receiving a self-closing valve and having a crimping flange capable of being bent from an uncrimped position to a crimped position so as to retain the valve in the device. The body is receivable into a closure with the valve retained. The crimping flange has a length, for instance, generally within a range of 0.5 mm and 4.0 mm.

Abstract: A flip-top dispensing closure (10) is provided. The closure comprises: a base (12) connectable to a container neck (1); a lid (14) hingedly connected to the base so as to be movable between a closed position and an open position; and a dispensing member (20). The closure further comprises a tamper-indicating member (5). The tamper-indicating member (5) activates either: upon first opening of the lid (14); or if the base (12) is removed from the neck (1).

Abstract: A tamper-evident closure for a container. The closure comprises a first portion including inner and outer parts, and a second portion. The outer part is rotatable relative to the inner part from a first position in which at least part of the first and second portions are adjacent each other to a second position in which there is a gap therebetween. The first portion comprises a locking mechanism for irreversibly locking the closure in the second position upon first opening so that the gap cannot be closed, in which the first portion comprises a compressible stopper for sealing the second portion and/or the container. A tamper-evident closure in combination with a container.

Abstract: A dispensing cap comprising a dispensing orifice and an anti-glug orifice, the cap further comprising a closure member movable from a closed position to an open position, in which in the closed position the anti-glug orifice is blocked by the closure member and the dispensing orifice is closed, and in the open position the dispensing orifice is open and the anti-glug orifice is unblocked.

Abstract: A tamper-evident closure (10) for a container is provided. The closure (10) comprises a base (20) attachable to a container neck (50). The base (20) comprises a sidewall (21) having a tamper-evident drop band (40). The band includes an abutment (43) for engaging the container neck to cause the band to break away from the sidewall if an attempt is made to remove the closure from the neck once fitted. The band (40) further comprises an extension (45) against which the sidewall pushes if the closure is reapplied to push the band (40) away from the base (20).

Abstract: A closure combination (101) comprising a dispensing closure body (102) and a container neck (103). The dispensing closure body (102) and container neck (103) comprise co-operable screw threads (104, 105) that allow the dispensing closure body (102) to be screwed onto the container neck (103) into an engaged condition. The co-operable screw threads (104, 105) prevent the dispensing closure body (102) from being unscrewed from the container neck (103) after the dispensing closure body (102) has been screwed onto the container neck (103) into a locked condition. A dispensing closure body (102) comprising an internal screw thread (10) that comprises a reversed-thread run out portion (107). A container with a container neck (103) comprising an external screw thread (105) that comprises a reversed-thread run out portion (108). A method of providing a tamper-resistance container closure combination (101).

Abstract: A trigger pump dispenser comprises a body, an outlet nozzle, a pump chamber, a piston for defining a variable volume in the pump chamber, a trigger coupled with the piston by interconnection means, and biasing means for biasing the trigger to a retracted position. The trigger is movable to cause the piston to pump liquid into and out of the pump chamber for dispensing through the outlet nozzle. The piston is interchangeably associatable with the trigger and the pump chamber so that different length pistons are usable to determine different maximum fill volumes of the pump chamber.

Abstract: A tamper-evident closure (101) comprises a first portion (105, 106) and a second portion (102, 104) comprising a window (103) through which a view of the first portion (105, 106) is visible. The second portion (102, 104) is rotated 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 a first view of the first portion (105, 106) is visible through the window (103), to a second position in which the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) are in a second relative relation and a second, different view of the first portion (105, 106) is visible through the window (103). A locking mechanism irreversibly locks the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) in the second relative relation.

Abstract: A tamper-evident closure for a container is provided. The closure comprises a base attachable to a container neck. The base comprises a sidewall having a tamper-evident drop band, the band including an abutment for engaging the container neck to cause the band to break away from the sidewall if an attempt is made to remove the closure from the neck once fitted. The band further comprises an extension against which the sidewall pushes if the closure is reapplied to push the band away from the base. The extension extends only part of the way around the band.

Abstract: A head stand container closure is provided. The closure comprises a base, and a lid having a top plate upon which the closure rests in use. The base is attachable to a container and the lid is attached or attachable to the base.

Abstract: A flip-top dispensing closure is provided and comprises a base which is attachable to a container and a lid attached to the base by a hinge. The base includes a dispensing passage; a syringe of the type comprising a barrel and a terminal tip is insertable into the passage. The closure further comprises a flexible self-closing valve for closing the passage. In use the syringe is inserted into the passage so that the tip passes through the valve to access product, and thereafter when the syringe is withdrawn the valve wipes against the syringe tip.
