Abstract: What is proposed is a closure unit consisting of a glass container (50) with external, circumferentially offset threaded elements (54, 55) on a container neck (52) of the glass container, and a closure cover made of sheet metal, wherein the closure cover (1, 2) has an encircling plastics layer (30; 30h, 30v) on the inside of the cover. The closure cover is pressed onto the container neck (52) and can be opened with a rotational movement via the threaded elements (54, 55) and a vertical section (30v) of the plastics layer. The container neck (52) has a horizontal end surface (52a) on which a horizontal section (30h) of the plastics layer rests under pressure in a sealing manner. A central region (11) of the closure cover passes with an adjoining, circumferentially oriented transition zone (11a, 11b, 11c) into an axially downwardly projecting skirt section (12) which ends in a roll-up region (21a, 21; 22).

The polymer composition comprises a butene copolymer. The butene copolymer has a melting temperature Tm of between 30° C. and 130° C., wherein the melting temperature T. is determined by the second heating curve of a DSC measurement at a heating rate of 10° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container made of glass or hard plastic having a container neck (52) with a plurality of external thread elements (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58), which are offset circumferentially relative to one another, as thread segments. The container can be closed by means of the thread segments by a closure cap made of metal sheet, wherein the closure cap (1, 2) has a circumferential plastic layer (30;30h,30v) on the inside of the cap and on the rim of the cap which has a sealing and retaining action. The closure cap can be pressed onto the container neck (52) and over the thread elements (53, 54, 55, . . . ) during closure and a vertical portion (30v) of the plastic layer can be opened with a rotary movement relative to the thread segments (53, 54, 55, . . . ). The container neck (52) has an upper horizontal end face (52a) as an annular surface which is adapted and suitable to be pressed into a horizontal portion (30 h) of the plastic layer (30;30h,30v) of the closure cap (1.

Abstract: The invention concerns a novel chain-terminated polymeric composition, comprising hydroxyl-terminated polyesters and a method for preparing the composition and the use of the chain-terminated polymeric composition as a plasticizer. They play a predominant role in the field of metal vacuum closures (Twist-Off and Press-On-Twist-Off closures). Selection criteria regarding the suitability of plasticizers in food contact applications are properties such as low plasticizer volatility, low plastisol viscosity, PVC compatibility, softness and resilience of the gasket as well as non-toxicity and high plasticizer migration resistance. The invention concerns the chemical equation of FIG.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a closing device for a closure lid made of sheet metal suitable for opening by twisting, as well as a support device on or for such closure lid, as well as the closure lid itself and a process of making such closure lid. The closing device includes a lid panel; a skirt portion on an edge of the lid panel; a seal extending from a circumferential section of the lid panel into the skirt portion. In addition, the closing device has a non-metallic safety ring that includes two circumferentially extending sections, configured as a safety section with a strip section, shaped to project radially inwards and axially upwards, as well as a connecting section for attaching the safety section on an axially lower end of the skirt portion. The skirt portion has a lower end rolled up from radial outside to radial inside by more than 180° to form a roll-up portion, the roll-up portion being at least partly clasped, or is claspable, by the connecting section from an inner side of the skirt portion.

Abstract: A device for conveying closures (D) made from metallic sheet in an essentially vertical direction from a collecting point (1) to a release point (6) is proposed. The closures are selected to be in correct position during conveying in order to release at the release point (6) only same-lying closures in a row of closures following one another closely. A conveyer belt (10) serves for the transport (v1, v2) of the closures. A sensor and discharge device (17, 16, 19, 18; 3) serves for detecting wrong-position closures and for lateral discharge (q1, q2) of individual wrong-position closures. In the course of the conveyer belt (10) upstream of the sensor and discharge device, a bar (15) is arranged above the conveyer belt, which terminates after the sensor and discharge device (17, 16, 19, 18; 3). More than one row (R1, R2) of closures next to one another may be supplied separately to the sensor and discharge device (17, 16, 19, 18; 3).

Abstract: The invention relates for the easy mounting a closing means on or for a closure lid made of sheet metal which is to be opened by means of twisting. It comprises a lid panel (10), a skirt portion (20) at the edge of the lid panel (10) and a sealing layer (25), which extends between a circumferential section of the lid panel and into the skirt section (25a, 25b). A safety ring (40, 30) made of non metal comprises two circumferentially extending sections. There is provided a safety section (40) with a shaped strip portion (41) that extends radially inwards and upwards and a connecting section (30) for affixing the safety section (40) to an axially lower end of the skirt portion (20). The lower end (21, 21a) of the skirt portion, which is rolled up by more than 180° is at least partly clasped (31, 32, 32a, 32b) by the connecting section (30) from an inner side of the skirt portion.

The annular or ring-shaped gasket includes radially extending tabs integrally formed therewith, one of said tabs being formed at a location wherein the plastic melt is fed to an annular gasket-forming channel in a mold core and another of said tabs being formed at the location wherein plastic melt is discharged from said channel. Preferably, said other tab includes a cold well formation which communicates with the annular gasket through a connecting portion of reduced cross-sectional area with respect to the cross-sectional areas of both the gasket and the cold well formation.
