  • Publication number: 20060011573
    Abstract: A tamper-indicating dispensing closure includes a closure body, and an associated flip-top lid pivotally connected to the closure body for movement between a closed position and an open position. The flip-top lid includes a tamper-indicating flange frangibly connected thereto, with the closure body including a pocket-like retention cavity within which the tamper-indicating flange is received during initial closing movement of the flip-top lid. During initial opening movement of the lid, the tamper-indicating flange is broken away from the flip-top lid, and thereafter permanently retained within the retention cavity to provide a clear, visual indication that the flip-top lid of the closure has been opened.

  • Patent number: 6769559
    Abstract: A venting plastic closure for use with an associated container includes an outer plastic cap having a top wall portion and an annular depending skirt including an internal thread formation. A disc-shaped sealing liner is positioned on the inside surface of the top wall portion for creating a top/inside seal with the associated container. In order to facilitate venting of gas pressure from within the container, and to facilitate removal of the closure from the container by consumers, the closure includes one or more positive stop elements which engage the container after the sealing liner of the closure has been sealingly engaged therewith. The stop elements act to limit the degree of sealing engagement between the sealing lines of the closure and the finish of the closure.
