Abstract: A process for labelling containers or bottles by applying tubular labels made of heat shrinkable film which completely surround an outer surface area of the bottle. The process and machine include winding a precut label from a reeled film on a rotating tubular round plate supported by a roundabout labelling machine, the bottle abuts on the round plate and the label is wound on the underlying tubular portion. The tubular surface of the round plate is provided with a plurality of holes alternatively supplying or drawing air for establishing a positive or negative pressure respectively on the label surface. The overlapped vertical ends of the label are heat sealed by an electrically heated bar located at each round plate or are chemically bonded. The tubular round plate and the container on it can vertically move to transfer the container into the tubular label.

Abstract: Machine for the aseptic treatment of containers (10) in bottling plant, of the rotary type provided with a plurality of stations (9) for treating the containers and so shaped as to cause the treatment of the containers to take place under substantially sterile conditions, is characterised in that it comprises sealing means that separate a non sterile area (11) of the machine from an area (12) maintained under sterile conditions and in which the treated containers (10) transit, said means comprising a fixed annular channel (15) at least partially filled with liquid in which slides a concentric annular element (16) associated with the rotating part (11).

Abstract: The guarantee hinge closure is envisaged for film-sealed bottles and containers of flowable contents. It comprises a cap-like lower part (1) with an inner thread (16) which is closed on its cap lid (5) with the exception of a pour-out spout (4) of less than half the diameter of the inner thread (16) of the cap lid (5). A lid cap (2) is integrally formed on this lower part (1) via a hinge (3), with a muff (7) formed on this lid cap which in the closure position embraces the pour-out spout (4). The cap lid (5) of the lower part (1) outside the pour-out spout (4) includes a piercing means (6) with a piercing pin (24). The piercing means (6) may be pushed from an upper initial position amid springing deformation into a lower end position. The lid cap (2) contains a push button (8) for actuating the piercing means (6). The push button (8) is connected to the lid cap (2) via material bridges (9) which act as break-off locations.

Abstract: The pouring closure (1) for liquid packagings (2) comprises a pouring stem (9) with a radially projecting bottom edge (12) and a threaded cover (11). Threaded cover (11) has a larger diameter than pouring stem (9), and an elastically deformable ring element (10) is disposed between pouring stem (9) and threaded cover (11). The ring surface (13) of the ring element runs obliquely to the ring plane, with the inner ring edge (14) ending in an downwardly directed projection (15) which can be clipped over pouring stem (9). The outer ring edge (16) ends in an upwardly directed projection (25), which is provided with an outer thread (26) for screwing on cover (11). The ring element (10) can be elastically deformed to spring into two stable states, namely and firstly, into a state with the ring surface (13) sloping downwards from the inner (14) to the outer (16) ring edge. In this state, the pouring closure (1) is compressed, and less than 5 mm high.
