  • Publication number: 20180327150
    Abstract: A container is disclosed which includes a body shaped to define a reservoir. The body has a body flange coupled to a sidewall. The body flange forms a perimeter around an opening in the body, and the opening includes a spout and a dipping area. The container also includes a hinge region fixedly adhered to the body flange to form a hinge. The hinge region separates the lid into a first lid portion sealing the spout and a second lid portion sealing the dipping area, and the first lid portion rotates at the hinge to expose the spout and wherein the second lid portion rotates at the hinge to expose the dipping area.

  • Patent number: 9598209
    Abstract: A food containment and dispensing system includes a collapsible pouch forming a cavity to contain a food product. A spout fitment is coupled to the collapsible pouch and includes a spout that extends from the collapsible pouch. A spout thread extends radially from the spout. The spout thread starts at a spout rib, which defines a spout rib contact surface. A cap is in threaded engagement with the spout, and it includes a cylindrical wall. A cap thread extends radially from the cylindrical wall and terminates at a cap rib, which defines a cap rib contact surface that is in contact with the spout rib contact surface to prevent further rotation of the cap with respect to the spout.

  • Publication number: 20160023819
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a spout fitment for a collapsible food package. The spout fitment includes a flange and a spout extending from the flange. A frangible membrane is disposed internal of the spout. The frangible membrane is configured to tear away from the spout along a tear path that is defined by a reduced thickness of the frangible membrane. A pull ring is coupled to the frangible membrane. The tear path defines at least one stress concentrator curve that is configured to reduce a pull force applied to the pull ring required to create an initial tear of the frangible membrane.

  • Patent number: 7506467
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a small-calibre defence system, characterised by the use of an unconventional process, with the following main characteristics: the absence of a trigger and hammer, which are replaced by firing mechanisms in the form of a handle (B) inside which the percussion system (C) is activated by rotating it in relation to the barrels (E), thus forcing the striker to move up a ramp thereby compressing the tensor system, after which it is released and the firearm is detonated, this merely being an example of what the invention covers; the novelty of its design, which has been devised in order to make it difficult or impossible for a child to activate it; it is assembled longitudinally in multiple barrels (E), with a manually tightened rotating safety lock (D), contrary to the buttons and catches of similar firearms; it has a integrated Progressive Impact Area Indicator laser sight (F) which functions progressively according to distance; and it has a foldaway grip (G).
