Abstract: A container closure system such that an uninstructed person would find it difficult to remove the closure. Helical screw threads on the container and on the one-piece closure have detents and discrete thread portions engageable under the influence of a spring means once the closure has been screwed onto (cap) or into (stopper) the container to a certain extent. Unscrewing can only be effected by firstly overcoming the spring means to separate the locking detents/thread portions and subsequently turning the closure while continuing to overcome said spring means.

Abstract: A peelable bonded structure having a peel strength of 0.05 to 5 kg/cm comprises a plurality of articles, at least one of which is made of metal, bonded together through a composite coating layer. The composite coating layer is composed of adjacent first and second coating layers at least one of which comprises (A) a modified olefin resin having a carbonyl group concentration of 0.01 to 200 milliequivalents per 100 g of the olefin resin and (B) a coating film-forming base resin at an (A)/(B) weight ratio of from 0.2/99.8 to 40/60 and has a multi-layer distribution structure having resin concentration gradients in the thickness direction such that the modified olefin resin (A) is distributed predominantly in the portion contiguous to the interface between the two coating layers and the base resin (B) is distributed predominantly in the opposite portion.

Abstract: Container closure having an easily openable liner, said liner being composed of a composition comprising a base resin consisting of 95 to 30% by weight of a crystalline polyolefin and 5 to 70% by weight of a lowly crystalline or amorphous copolymer of ethylene with otherolefin, a lubricant in an amount of 0.001 to 5% by weight based on said base resin and a polymer containing at least 10% by weight of a conjugated diene in an amount of 1 to 15% by weight based on said base resin. This closure has a good sealing property and an easy openability in combination.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an extremely useful air-tight cap for bottle, and more particularly an air-tight cap adapted for use in a so-called positioning container wherein a bottle of a non-circular cross section such as a polygonal or oval form is closed by a cap of a same cross section when it is brought to a determined positional relationship with respect to said bottle and capable of achieving tight closure of the cap in such determined position to maintain air tightness and to completely prevent the leak of the content by means of a structure capable of achieving maximum packing effect.

Abstract: A cap includes a metallic cap shell having a circular top and a skirt extending downwardly from the peripheral edge of the top and provided with a thread-forming portion deformable along the thread of the opening part of a container, and a flexible liner provided inwardly of the top of the cap shell. The liner includes an annular protrusion having an inside diameter substantially equal to, or slightly larger than, the outside diameter of the sealing surface of the opening of a container to be sealed and comprising a perpendicular inside wall adapted to seal intimately with the peripheral sealing surface of the container opening and an upright outside wall spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the skirt.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pilfer-proof resealable crown closure cap which has a top crown and a skirt depending from the top crown, the skirt having a pair of diametrically opposed slots therein, each slot extending substantially the full height of the skirt. Preferably, each of the slots has a generally inverted U-shaped configuration and the skirt is provided with rounded corners at the free marginal edges of the skirt and slots.

Abstract: The invention relates to the gasketting of cap blanks, to be closed onto bottles or other containers.The gaskets lie across the more or less flat top of the cap blank and the invention is concerned with the peripheral part of the gasket, i.e. that part which occupies the corner of the cap between the flat top and the skirt.One kind of closing operation in which a gasketted cap blank is closed onto a bottle neck involves so-called "reform", i.e. a lateral pinching action at the top of the skirt. To aid closing the bottle cap symmetrically on the bottle, the peripheral part of the gasket includes a relatively flat step portion.
