Abstract: An RFID Inlay for mounting to closure for a container. The RFID inlay includes a nonconductive substrate with a first induction heating annular ring located on the substrate proximate an outer periphery of the substrate. An RFID antenna is located on the substrate within the inner periphery of the annular ring. An RFID chip is on the first side of the substrate and operatively coupled to the antenna. A method is disclosed for forming the RFID inlay, including forming on a first side of a substrate a conductive layer, the conductive layer having (i) a first induction heating annular ring located proximate the outer periphery of the substrate, the annular ring having an inner periphery; and (ii) an antenna located within the inner periphery of the annular ring; and placing an RFID chip on the first side of the substrate and operatively coupling the RFID chip to the antenna.

Abstract: A dispensing closure for a container that includes a flip-top lid, a main body, a first hinge integrally molded to and pivotably connecting the lid to the main body, and a tamper-evident element. The first hinge is located on a top surface of the main body and permits pivoting of the lid relative to the main body between a closed and open position. The tamper-evident element is initially intact and secured to portions of both the lid and the top surface of the main body in the closed position before the lid is first pivoted open, initial sealing state. The tamper-evident element is configured to fracture where the tamper-evident element is secured to the lid when the lid is first pivoted to the open position following the initial sealing state, with a portion of the tamper-evident element remaining secured to the top surface of the main body.

Abstract: A flame mitigating fluid dispenser for controlling flow of flammable fluid from a container while mitigating flame infiltration. The dispenser configured to attach to the container. The dispenser includes a top wall with an upper surface, a lower surface and defining a thickness between the upper and lower surfaces. The top wall has a dispensing zone where the thickness of the top wall is at least approximately 0.090 inches. A plurality of holes are formed in the top wall in the dispensing zone. The holes extend through the thickness. Each hole has a diameter of approximately 0.030 inches or less at the point where the hole meets the lower surface. Each hole is spaced apart from an adjacent hole by at least approximately 0.030 inches on the upper surface. A sidewall is formed on and depending downward from an outer periphery of the top wall.

Abstract: A closure for use with a container, the closure including a cap assembly with a lower cap configured to attach to a neck of the container. A flip-top reclosable lid is hingedly attached to the cap assembly. The hinge permitting the lid to be pivoted open and closed relative to the cap assembly. A plurality of frangible spokes extend between and are integrally molded to the flip-top lid and the cap assembly. The spokes are spaced about a periphery of the flip-top lid and configured to break when the lid is first opened thereby providing a visual indication that the closure has been opened.

Abstract: A container assembly including a removable closure and a container which includes a chamber wall and a bottom attached to the chamber wall to form a cavity in which product is contained. An outer surface of the chamber wall includes a first attachment connector near the upper end of the chamber wall and which removably engages with a mating second attachment connector formed on the closure. A shoulder extends radially outward from the chamber wall at a point below the first attachment connector, and an outer support skirt extends downward from a distal end of the shoulder. The outer support skirt surrounds at least a substantial portion of the outer surface of the chamber wall and, when placed on a surface, the support skirt rests on the surface and the bottom of the cavity rests on or is spaced apart from the surface.
