  • Patent number: 6213355
    Abstract: The invention relates to a closure membrane (2) with a closure head (5) and a retaining border (3), the closure head being connected to the retaining border via a connecting wall adjoining the outer border, with the entire arrangement being of essentially cup-shaped design, the closure head preferably being of a thickness which increases outwards from the center. The connecting wall is attached to the closure head via a connecting web (51) which is of lesser thickness than the border region of the closure head and which in the rest position of the membrane projects radially inwards from the connecting wall.

  • Patent number: 6170710
    Abstract: A closure consisting of a lid and a body is provided, wherein part of the body can be depressed radially, be fixed in the depressed state and forms a recessed grip. The fixation of part 3 can be permanent and undetachable and can thus render a closure tamper proof by indicating that a closure is opened for the first time. Furthermore, an indicator plate, which breaks away when the depressible part is depressed, can additionally render a closure tamper proof. Furthermore, the depressible part can return to its original position after the lid is lifted so that when closing the lid again, the closure cannot be opened before the depressible part is depressed again. In this embodiment an indicator plate arranged on the depressible part renders the closure tamper proof, and, furthermore, the return of the depressed part into the original position renders the closure child proof.

  • Patent number: 6095381
    Abstract: The invention relates to a self-closing closure with a closure cap (1), with a through-passage opening (8) formed in the closure cap (1), and with a closure membrane (2), assigned to the through-passage opening (8), the closure membrane (2) having a bottom retaining border (3) and a top, essentially concave closure head (5), the closure head (5) and the retaining border (3), furthermore, being connected by a connecting wall (4), and, for the purpose of achieving a solution which is favorable in terms of both usage and production, proposes that a widened region (9) adjoins the through-passage opening (8) towards the outside, that the closure head (5) is arranged in the widened region (9), and that the connecting wall (4) extends into the widened region (9), passing through the through-passage opening in the process.

  • Patent number: 5067624
    Abstract: A closure of plastic, especially polypropylene, for the necks of containers, especially bottles. The outer wall (8) of the closure flares lengthwise of the neck from the top end of the closure down to a circumferential line (29) of maximum size and tapers again toward the bottom end of the closure. The bottom part (2) and lid (26) of the closure are joined together by a snap hinge (28). This snap hinge is integral with the bottom part and lid and is situated in their outer walls. The depth of the main part (26.1) of the lid (26) is substantially less than the difference in level of the closure between its circumferential line (29) of maximum size and its upper end. For its connection to the snap hinge (28) the lid has an arm (26.3) on one side. The active elements of the snap hinge are disposed symmetrically with the circumferential line (29). This closure has a lid of relatively small size and can be made with a two-part injection mold which does not need to have any lateral slides.

  • Patent number: 5012940
    Abstract: An originality guarantee for closures of containers, particularly bottles. It has a label (12) which, after it has been removed or damaged, indicates that the closure has been opened. The closure portions (4,6) which are to be moved apart when it is opened are provided with flat recesses for receiving the label (12). The recesses merge from one closure portion into the other or others and together have the external shape and size of the label. Such a label indicates that the closure has been opened when it is torn or cut through. The invention also prevents the possibility of the label being removed and glued on again. This purpose can be served by the said recess which makes it impossible for a user to engage beneath the label with a finger nail or a tool and to lift it away. Instead of a recess a horseshoe-shaped wall (22) can be provided which surrounds at least a portion of the label. It may be broken away so that the user has access to the label.
