Patent number: 5141138Abstract: A pouring cap for mounting atop a neck of a container is unitarily formed of a synthetic resin with a body adapted to fit over the neck of the container and having an outer body edge centered on an axis, a central pour tube within the edge and forming an axially throughgoing outflow passage, and a cover sealingly engageable in a closed position with the body over the passage at the edge. A hinge is provided on the edge between the body and the cover and a hook projects axially from the cover in the closed position past the edge of the body at a location on the edge generally diametrically opposite the hinge. A retaining element defines with the body an opening adjacent the edge opposite the hinge location. The hook is engageable with elastic deformation through the opening to catch underneath the retaining element and once inserted through the opening is engaged such that the hook or the element must be permanently deformed to move the cover from the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 1990Date of Patent: August 25, 1992Assignee: Astra PlastiqueInventors: Philippe Odet, Jacques Ambrosi

Patent number: 5088632Abstract: A leaktight stopper unit and pouring tube for a container having an opening surrounded by a cylindrical neck having an intermediate element which includes inner and outer generally cylindrical sleeves connected by a top surface defining a cylindrical cavity for placement over the cylindrical neck of a container. A pouring tube which includes a memory effect bellows and which is retractible into the annular intermediate element, a removable closing stopper having a top portion such that an inner face of the top portion contacts the top of the pouring tube to compress the pouring tube in a retracted position substantially within the annular intermediate element. The inner sleeve of the annular intermediate element is sized to fit snugly with a cylindrical neck of a container and additionally comprises an integrally extending shoulder flange for retaining the pouring tube within the intermediate element.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1990Date of Patent: February 18, 1992Assignee: Astra PlastiqueInventors: Philippe Odet, Jean Y.

Patent number: 5076453Abstract: A closure for a recipient having an upwardly open annular neck centered on an axis and formed with an external attachment formation and an axially downwardly projecting shoulder has a unitary one-piece cap formed of a relatively soft synthetic resin and a unitary one-piece tamper-resistant ring formed of a relatively hard synthetic resin. The cap itself is formed with an end sealingly fittable over the neck and an annular skirt projecting axially from the end and formed internally with an attachment formation complementary to that of the neck. The skirt has remote from the end a rim and is formed between the rim and the end with a radially inwardly open groove. The tamper-resistant ring is formed with an annular upper part having an outwardly projecting ridge normally seated in the groove of the skirt, an annular lower part having an inwardly projecting lip fitting axially under the shoulder of the neck, and a relatively fragile web axially joining the unitarily formed with both parts.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 1989Date of Patent: December 31, 1991Assignee: Astra PlastiqueInventor: Philippe Odet

Patent number: 4830234Abstract: A metering pouring stopper comprising two elements of a moldable or injectable material which is at least somewhat flexible. One of these elements comprises a pouring lip which can be fastened to the free end to the threaded neck of the container, while the other element comprises a metering chamber and a threaded skirt to be screwed onto the threaded neck of the container. Since the threads of the necks of containers always have a predetermined, constant angular orientation, the two elements of the stop that can fit into one another have assembly detachable means which make it possible to assemble them temporarily before they are placed onto the container.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1988Date of Patent: May 16, 1989Assignee: Astra PlastiqueInventor: Philippe Odet

Patent number: 4805807Abstract: This invention relates to a dispensing stopper with rotating cap for pasty products, wherein axial displacement of the rotating cap is effected by cooperation of two series of oblique projections in contact and by cooperation of stops and oblique ramps. The base of the cap is further provided with a tearable guarantee strip.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1987Date of Patent: February 21, 1989Assignee: Astra PlastiqueInventors: Raymond Perne, Philippe Odet

Patent number: 4795043Abstract: A cap for covering a container, the opening of which is initially blocked by a sealed lid. The bottom of the cap is provided with a deformable part provided with a perforation means. A deformable part initially occupies a position in which the perforation means is maintained at a distance from the lid. At the moment of first use of the contianer, the deformable part is lowered to a position in which the perforation means penetrates the plane of the lid. The configuration can be used with screw-on caps, particularly with caps having tamperproof bands, or with hinged caps.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1987Date of Patent: January 3, 1989Assignee: Astra PlastiqueInventors: Philippe Odet, Jean P. Agati

Patent number: 4264022Abstract: The present invention relates to a stopper having a sleeve with pouring lip for bottles and like receptacles with necks. Inside the sleeve is provided a transverse disc supported on spaced apart arms join to a perforated annular partition supporting the sleeve. When the liquid is poured out, it is guided between the periphery of the disc and the sleeve, at the same time that air is inducted through the upper openings of the perforated zone. The invention finds particular application in the stoppering industry.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1979Date of Patent: April 28, 1981Assignee: Astra PlastiqueInventors: Raymond Perne, Philippe Odet

Patent number: 4076140Abstract: A temperproof closure element integrally formed from molded synthetic material. The top cap section has a series of outwardly spaced projections which cooperate with mating inwardly spaced projections on a tear strip. A locking collar is provided with a similar series of inwardly spaced projections corresponding with mating outwardly directed projections on the same tear strip. The thickness of material along each of the set of mating projections is diminished providing a zone of reduced strength so that the tear strip can be removed prior to first use of the container containing the closure element.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1977Date of Patent: February 28, 1978Assignee: Astra PlastiqueInventor: Raymond Perne
