Abstract: A non-resealable, snap-fitted closure comprises a closure, a drop ring and a container. The closure has a sleeve with a sleeve snap. The drop ring has an internal snap and an external snap wherein the internal snap engages the sleeve snap of the closure when the closure engages the drop ring. The container has a neck and a neck snap, wherein the neck snap and the internal snap of the drop ring engage when the closure and the drop ring engage the neck. The neck snap of the neck and the internal snap of the drop ring are an order of magnitude stronger than the sleeve snap of the sleeve and the external snap of the drop ring. When the closure is removed from the neck, the drop ring remains attached to the neck and is free to move vertically up and down along the neck, thereby preventing reattachment of the closure to the container.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for metering and dispensing an active ingredient, such as an insecticide, fumigant, fertilizer or room freshener. The active ingredient is placed in a container (6) and a pressurised propellant is subsequently introduced from a source (1) via conduits (3, 9). The propellant serves to absorb the active ingredient which is dispersed from the container via conduit (5) through a dispensing outlet (8) so that the active ingredient is dispersed in an airborne dispersion. In an ejector (4), a pressure differential is created across a propellant inlet port (4a) which is sufficient to draw the active ingredient from the active ingredient container (6) but is less than the pressure differential required to cause a cooling effect in the mixing chamber (4) and is less than that pressure differential that gives rise to an erratic dispersion of the active ingredient from the dispensing outlet (8).

Abstract: A member is provided for being mounted on the neck of a container. The member has a skirt with at least a first annular section extending axially below an annular bead on the container. A plurality of circumferentially spaced arms are flexibly connected to, and extend from, the skirt first annular section at a first bend line to accommodate radially inward pivoting of each arm to an orientation generally alongside the skirt first annular section. A plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs are each flexibly connected to, and extend radially inwardly of, one of the arms at a second bend line to accommodate radially inward pivoting of each tab toward the container when sufficient relative axial displacement is effected between the closure and the container. A novel method is provided for arranging unique mold parts for molding the mounting member and for moving the mold parts to release the molded mounting member in an assembly-ready orientation for application to the container.

Abstract: A bottle or like container of relatively hard material such as glass is provided with a readily destructible neck extension portion of relatively soft plastics material. A dispensing optic for screwing into the neck extension has a cutter or cutters arranged to be projected from their retracted state, by the first operation of the optic after insertion into the neck extension, into cutting engagement with the wall of such extension. Rotation of the optic with a view of removing it from the bottle automatically causes the cutter or cutters to sever the neck extension to render the bottle unsuitable further with a dispensing optic and thus prevents re-filling of the bottle with an inferior product and the dispensing of such product through a dispensing optic.
