  • Patent number: 6644491
    Abstract: A tamper-resistant closure includes a cap provided with several cap retainers adapted to engage an annular ridge surrounding a discharge valve mounted on a can and a removable tamper band coupled to a lower edge of the cap to define an undulated frangible tear line between the cap and the tamper band. Several band retainers are provided on the tamper band and adapted to engage the annular ridge. The band retainers cooperate with the cap retainers to help retain the closure on the can while the tamper band remains coupled to the cap. Once the tamper band is removed, the cap retainers engage the annular ridge on the can and cooperate to retain the remaining cap on the can.

  • Publication number: 20030080018
    Abstract: A cleansing wipe dispenser including a container closure adapted to mount on a container housing a series of cleansing wipes. A small wipe dispenser opening is provided to allow wipes to be passed from the container to a user through the dispenser. A relatively larger wipe access opening is provided and connected to the small wipe dispenser by a lateral transfer channel to allow a user to load the first sheet in the series of wipes into the small wipe dispenser opening easily at first use. The dispenser also includes a wipe storage well having a floor formed to include the dispenser and access openings and the lateral transfer channel and a well closure located to close a top opening into the wipe storage well whenever a user wishes to retain in the well any moisture associated with a cleansing wipe (or portion thereof) stored in the well.
