Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible tube head (40, 40?) comprising a dispensing port which is defined by an edge (41, 41?) and a shoulder (42, 42?), the shoulder connecting the edge to the flexible skirt (30) of the tube. The invention is characterized in that it comprises an electronic component (20) which can be used for the electrically contactless exchange of information with a read or read/write device, normally a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) type component.

Abstract: A manufacturing process for flexible tube skirts including the steps of providing a multi-layer plastic film, cutting out a strip from the multi-layer plastic film, producing a cylindrical sleeve by rolling-welding the strip, and cutting out the sleeve to the desired length to obtain the tube skirts. The strip is cut out from a multi-layer plastic film which has a symmetrical structure in relation to its median plane, with symmetrical layers having the same thickness and made of the same plastic, having the same chemical composition and the same molar mass.

Abstract: A double dispensing container including an outer container and an inner container, each container including a body and a head provided with a neck and a shoulder linking the neck to the body, the neck having a side wall and one or more dispensing orifices, the neck of the inner container being housed inside the neck of the outer container and having a section such that it provides one of more outflow passages for a pasty product A and, in combination with the inner surface of the outer container neck, one or more outflow passages for a pasty product B emerging onto a single or multiple orifice dispensing the product B. The inner neck is extended by a summit portion which is linked to the inner neck via a thin annular zone and which closes the single or multiple orifice dispensing product A.

Abstract: A method for the compression molding of a plastic part including a neck which is equipped with an orifice, in which a blank is created and compressed. The part is molded with a neck which is equipped with a top wall including a thin area with a notch, the contour of this thin area defining the orifice, and two zones which can withstand the mechanical stress necessary in order to break the top wall at the notch. One of the two zones is intended to transmit the mechanical stress and the other is used as a support. The section of the notch is slightly inclined in relation to the axis of the neck. After molding, mechanical stress is applied to one part of the top wall, other than the thin area, so that the top wall tears at the notch, thereby producing the dispensing orifice.

Abstract: A container, such as a flask or a flexible tube, provided with a cap, the container including a side wall and a plastic head with a neck and a shoulder linking the neck to the side wall. The cap is provided with a circular cylindrical skirt on its inner surface with one or more first screwing means. The wall of the neck is substantially shaped like a prism where the cross-section is globally a polygon having a symmetry of order n about an axis A substantially parallel to the generatrix of the prism, n being an integer strictly greater than 1, and the neck is provided on its outer surface with n second screwing means, uniformly distributed about the axis A. The assembly of n second screwing means of the neck co-operates with the first screwing means of the cap.

Abstract: A method for decorating the cylindrical walls of receptacles, comprising the following steps: a) moveable mandrels are arranged in a loop and are displaced, keeping their axes parallel to a direction D; b) each receptacle is engaged by the cylindrical wall thereof on the mandrel; c) the mandrel is brought into the vicinity of a marking cylinder which turns about a fixed axis parallel to direction D; d) the mandrel is rotated at a speed which is correlated with that of the marking cylinder; e) a transfer film support strip is displaced between the marking cylinder and the mandrel; f) the marking cylinder and mandrel are placed in contact with each other such that the marked area of the transfer film adheres to the cylindrical wall; g) the support strip is removed from the cylindrical wall of the receptacle. The inventive method is adapted to the manufacture of flexible tubes and can be easily implemented on existing devices such as capping machines.

Abstract: A packaging component, having a wall including a layer for direct contact with a product contained within the packaging, said layer formed of an organic polymer having disposed therein 1) a first material reactive with at least one component of the product contained within the packaging or with a physical or chemical contaminant thereof, and 2) a second component in the form of particles which perturb or emit, naturally or under the influence of an artificial source of excitation, a physical field which is remotely detectable and which confirms that the first material is also present. The reactive substance is typically a substance having a biocidal effect, an organoleptic additive, an oxygen-absorbing agent, an emitter of carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide, a humidity absorber, an antioxidant or a UV filter, and the physically active particles are typically ferromagnetic, x-ray absorbent, an MRI contrast agent, luminescent or thermochromic.

Abstract: A flexible plastic or metalloplastic tube having a dispensing head and a cylindrical skirt of diameter larger than 40 mm. The cylindrical skirt is less than 0.40 mm thick and is formed of at least 70 wt. % of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) of specific mass between 0.935 and 0.97 g/cm3, and not more than 30 wt. % of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) of specific mass between 0.86 and 0.93 g/cm3, and of which more than 50% is a linear LDPE.
