Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing of liquids to the oral cavity of an individual or animal comprises a tubular body having two ends, with one of the ends being a frusto-conical end provided with an orifice at the tip thereof to serve as an injector for overcoming resistance to swallowing, and the other of the ends being an angularly chamfered open end which is used as a gravity dispenser. The tubular body is axially inserted in a cap suitable for capping a flask and containing a complementary tubular wall to axially receive the tubular body of the dispenser, whereby, when the frusto-conical end of the tubular body is inserted within the cap, the chamfered open end of the tubular body becomes free to dispense a liquid contained therein by gravity, whereas when the chamfered open end of the tubular body is inserted within the cap, the frusto-conical end becomes free and serves as an injector to forcibly dispense the liquid by squeezing the tubular body.

Abstract: A closure including a standard threaded cap having a tamper indicating band depending from the cap skirt by frangible webs. The tamper indicating band has an inwardly directed bead which cooperates with a flange on the container neck which allows the band to rotate with the cap but prevents the band from being removed past the container flange. Alternatively the tamper indicating band contains spaced ratchet teeth which engage ratchet teeth on the container neck to prevent further rotation. A rotary seal is provided between the cap and container neck which is effective for an axial length A greater than the sum of a distance B between the cap bead and the container flange when the cap is tightened or the axial movement of the cap in rotating the ratchet teeth into contact and the distance C which the frangible webs stretch before fracture. Thus the rotary seal prevents access to the product prior to breaking the tamper indicating band loose from the cap.

Abstract: In a tensioner in which a tension rod advances from the casing to apply a tension to a chain or timing belt, the advancement of the rod is locked by inserting a pin into a penetrated hole formed at the drawing out portion of the rod.

Abstract: An expandable sealing plug and supporting structure adaptable for both pull-to-open, push-to-close and twist-to-open, twist-to-close captive dispensing caps is provided. The expandable plug is manufactured with thinner walls than that of the supporting structure and a compatible outer cap, and is designed to balloon outwardly when the assembled cap and container experience an increase in internal pressure. This ballooning affect tightens the connection between the plug and the dispensing orifice in the outer cap, thereby increasing the sealing of the dispensing cap. Material resilience returns the plug to the original plug shape on release of internal pressure and maintains original plug shape when no unusual pressure is applied.

Abstract: A pour spout construction particularly adapted for longer shelf life barrier paperboard containers, such as containers of the gable top type. Barrier containers often carry products and the interior surfaces of the former are lined or covered with a barrier layer. According to this invention a dispensing opening is formed in the paperboard and the major barrier layer extends across and covers this opening. An externally threaded pour spout, attached to the container, carries a threaded cap which normally closes the pour spout. This cap carries an innermost annular skirt whose lower edge is adhered to that barrier layer portion which spans the dispensing opening. When the cap is unscrewed from the spout, the innermost annular skirt carries a part of the barrier layer away from its normal, sealing position, thus rupturing the barrier layer and permitting dispensing of the container contents.

Abstract: This relates to a dispensing cap including a cap body and a cover which are connected together by suitable hinges so that the cover may swing between a fully open position and a fully closed position. In association with the hinges, there is a strap which connects a bendable wall portion of the cover to the cap body. The strap, in the open position of the cover, is located on one side of hinge centers and as the cover is swung towards a closed position, the strap passes through an overcenter position where a greater length of strap is required, thus effecting bending of the cover wall portion between the hinges to provide a spring effect. In the closed position of the cover, the strap is on the other side of the hinge center and bending of the cover wall portion is held to a minimum.
