  • Patent number: 10569925
    Abstract: A package includes a housing, a container, and a coupling system. The housing defines a first internal volume and includes first lateral walls that define a first through opening further defined by a first edge. The container defines a second internal volume and is configured for housing one or more products. The container includes second lateral walls that define a second through opening further defined by a second edge, the second through opening being configured to permit insertion and withdrawal of the one or more products from the container. The container is adjustable to a first configuration in which the container is at least partially disposed within the housing and a second configuration in which the container is at least partially disposed outside of the first internal volume. The coupling system is configured to secure the container to the housing.

  • Patent number: 10370140
    Abstract: A tamper-evident container comprising a storage having at least one passage opening delimited by a free edge and configured to put in communication the internal volume of the storage with the external environment; the sheet material of the storage wraps at least partially on itself in order to form an overlapping zone which comprises at least one first constraining portion and one second constraining portion engaged with each other: on the second constraining portion at least one notch is defined. The container further comprises a closure system engaged at said free edge and movable with respect to the storage; the closure system being configured for defining at least one closing condition in which the system itself interdicts the communication between the internal volume of the storage and the external environment and an opening condition in which the system itself enables the communication between the internal volume and external environment.

  • Publication number: 20190100346
    Abstract: A tamper-evident coupling system includes a first base portion, a second base portion, a first coupling portion supported by and extending from the first base portion, and a second coupling portion supported by the second base portion and configured for cooperating with the first coupling portion. The first and the second coupling portions are configured for defining an arming condition in which the first and second coupling portions are stably engaged with each other. At least one of the first and the second coupling portions includes a removable portion that is separable from the tamper-evident coupling system upon a first disengagement of the first and second coupling portions following the arming condition to prevent a subsequent coupling between the first and second coupling portions and to show a tampering with the tamper-evident coupling system.

  • Publication number: 20190009944
    Abstract: A container including a storage configured for housing a product and defining a passage opening, a closing system configurable between a closed condition and opening condition of the storage, and a safety device associated with the closing system and with the storage configured for defining a safety condition wherein the same device prevents the closing system from passing from the closed condition to the open one. The container includes a passage configured for enabling the insertion of at least one opening device adapted to enable the passage of the closing system from the closed condition to the open one. The opening device includes an unpleasant taste material, at least partly defining an external surface of the same opening device, and configured for preventing the ingestion of said opening device.

  • Patent number: 10106305
    Abstract: A package comprising a container exhibiting: a compartment having a passage opening delimited by a free edge, a closure system engaged at the free edge and movable with respect to the compartment between a closure condition and an open condition of the container. The package comprises a wrapping housed at least partially inside the compartment; the wrapping is configurable between a first operative position wherein the wrapping is completely housed in the compartment of the container and a second operative position wherein part of the wrapping is arranged outside the inner volume of the compartment: the wrapping, in the second operative position, exhibiting at least one portion housed in the inner volume of the compartment. The container comprises a stop element placed inside the compartment, emerging, from at least one lateral wall of the compartment, inside this latter in order to define a projection.
