Abstract: There is described a closure assembly for a container filled or fillable with a pourable product. The closure assembly comprises a lid, a first ring member, a second ring member, a coupling element connected to the lid and one of the first ring member and the second ring member, at least one rupturable first coupling bridge connecting the first ring member and the second ring member to one another; and at least one rupturable second coupling bridge connecting the second ring member and the lid to one another.

Abstract: A container for pourable food comprises an initially sealed body portion for holding the pourable food and a drink spout for drinking from the container. The proximal end of a base portion of the drink spout is permanently attached to the outer surface of the container, and has an opening to receive pourable food from the body of the container. The distal end of the base portion has an opening for drinking the pourable food from the container. The drink spout comprises a lid portion initially attached to the base portion to seal the opening at the distal end by a breakable sealing portion. The drink spout comprises a connection portion permanently attaching the lid portion to the base portion. The connection portion is a flexure hinge allowing the lid portion to pivot away from the base portion after the breakable sealing portion has been broken.

Abstract: A spout includes a base frame fittable about a designated package pour opening surface area, an opening assembly moveably coupled to the base frame and adapted to at least partially cut/rupture/open/pierce the pour opening surface area, and a control device configured to control the opening assembly. The control device comprises at least one interaction element connected to the opening assembly, at least one control ring rotatably coupled to the base frame and at least one interaction member connected/coupled to the control ring and configured to interact with the interaction element. In use, upon rotating the control ring, the interaction member interacts with the interaction element to induce translation of a cutter of the opening assembly for controlling the opening assembly from a rest configuration to an operative configuration and an axial end portion of the interaction member is arranged within a rotation plane fixed relative to the base frame.

Abstract: An opening device for a sealed package containing pourable product defines an axis and includes a frame fittable about a pierceable portion of the package and defining a pour opening coaxial with axis; a cap coaxially fitted onto the frame to close the pour opening; a tubular cutter engaging the pour opening coaxially with axis and movable relative to the frame to cut the pierceable portion; and a cutter protruding from one axial end of the cutter and cooperable with the pierceable portion to unseal the package; the cutter including at least one tooth having first and second cutting faces extending transversally to axis; the tooth also including one third cutting face between the first and second cutting faces and extending transversally to the first and second cutting faces; a first edge between the third and first cutting faces; and a second edge between the third and second cutting faces.
