Abstract: An end closure for a packaging container, where the end closure has a central panel and a circumferential rim for being attached to a wall of a packaging container for placing the panel countersunk in the container.A tearing denotation is arranged in the panel and merges into a further tearing denotation extending the whole way around the panel close to the rim.A low ledge is arranged at the side of the panel opposite to the rim for maintaining an easily flexible material covering the underside of the end closure and at least part of the rim outer side thereof at a non-welding distance at both sides of the tearing denotation, i.e. at such a distance that the temperature and pressure is insufficient for heat sealing or welding of thermoplastics material on the flexible material and/or the panel.

Abstract: 5-gallon plastic molded bottles of at least two manufacturers have neck profiles which differ slightly but have a diameter where the variation in profile is at a minimum. The cap of this invention fits at least two profiles. In each profile there is an outward-convex bead below the top lip. The interior of the skirt of the cap curves concave approximately co-extensive with such bead curvature and has plural circumferential internal annular ridges which engage the bead at about its maximum diameter. Below the ridges is an internal annular tension ring having a diameter when unstressed less than the diameter of the top neck bead at its circle of contact which engages below the maximum bead diameter and hence tends to pull the ridges down into tighter engagement with the profiles of either manufacturers' neck finish. Below the tension ring the skirt is formed with a horizontal tear line which extends about 265.degree. of the circumference of the skirt.

The outer sealing member is disposed to engage an outer corner of the rim of the neck of the bottle when the closure is threaded onto the bottle, and the inner sealing member is disposed to engage the top of the rim after engagement of the corner with the outer sealing member. The outer sealing member deflects outward slightly, and the inner sealing member deflects upwardly and inwardly.

Abstract: A brush has a hole formed at the end of its handle. The hole cooperates with flexible prongs which interfit within the hole to removably engage and support the brush. The flexible prongs are attached to a combined bottle cap/cup which is utilized in combination with a liquid bottle. The cap/cup interfits over the mouth of the bottle in any of the usual ways as by threaded or frictional engagement with the mouth. The cup/cap may be formed in the shape of an ellipse so that it can also serve as an enlarged handle for the brush in that the brush is used without removing same from the cap/cup. In another embodiment, the cup/cap takes the form of an attachment which overfits a bottle and cap so that it can be employed as an attachment to existing packages without the necessity of modifying the existing packaging design and structure. The brush is attached to an overlay of an elongated shape of a size such that the brush hangs along the sides of the bottle.
