Abstract: A tamper-evident pouch includes a pouch-like container with a dispensing fitment having a fitment body and a cap bonded to the pouch to form a closed container. At least one tamper-evident tab extends from an upper extent of the pouch and is bonded to the cap. The tab has a tear point allowing the tab to tear in this area when the cap is opened.

Abstract: A single dose dispensing closure has a main body with an upper skirt portion for measuring and dispensing a predetermined dose of a flowable product from a container. A bottom wall, a rearwardly angled wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall, and an interior surface of the upper skirt together define a measuring reservoir. A port allows a product to flow from a container into the main body. A lid is movable to a closed position in which the lid portion and the main body define a filling chamber. A hinged closure tab seals an exit orifice on the front of the lid portion. When the exit orifice is closed, a user inverts the dispensing closure and container to substantially fill the filling chamber. When the dispensing closure is righted, a predetermined dose of the flowable product is retained in the reservoir, ready to be dispensed through the exit orifice.

Abstract: A dispensing closure for dispensing a flowable product from a container has a main body portion, a sealed lid portion, and a hinged closure tab held closed by a child-resistant latch. The main body is securable to a container by a lower skirt portion and includes an interior measuring reservoir. The dispensing closure receives a dip tube extending to the bottom of a container, and upon squeezing the container directs product from the dip tube through an entrance conduit into the dispensing closure. When pressure is released, product flows back into the container through the conduit leaving behind a measured dose within the measuring reservoir. A shroud depending from the lid portion prevents product from being squeezed directly from the entrance conduit out of the exit orifice. A child resistant actuator limits unintended opening of the hinged closure tab.

Abstract: A child resistant dispensing closure for dispensing a product from a container has a cap base and a cap that can be secured to a container. The cap base has a locking tab that engages a locking lug on a container, to prevent removal of the cap base from the container. To seal a pour spout on the cap base, a cap is removably secured to the cap base. A child resistant mechanism prevents accidental removal of the cap from the cap base. The child resistant mechanism may include a child resistant stop tab on the cap that selectively engages a child resistant stop lug located on either the container or the cap base. Alternatively, the child resistant mechanism may include a latch hook on the cap base that selectively engages a stepped locking shoulder on the cap skirt.

Abstract: A one-piece dispensing closure for a pouch-like container includes an integrally formed closure body, dispensing neck, hinged cap, a tamper-evident closure system and a latch for maintaining the cap in an open position. The closure body includes a “canoe”-shaped skirt portion which is heat sealed to a film-like pouch and a neck portion having a dispensing orifice for dispensing a product from the pouch. A cap is connected to the closure body by a living hinge to allow the user to selectively open and close the container. The dispensing closure further includes a tamper-evident tear strip that is integrally formed with the cap body, and detachable from the cap body. A ledge formed on the inner surface of the tear strip engages an interfitting locking tab formed on the outer surface of the closure body to prevent opening of the cap without removing the tear strip.

Abstract: A closure with a drain back for a container of liquids is disclosed. The closure includes a closure body having an upper deck. A skirt depends from the upper deck and is configured to secure to a neck of a container. An inner annular wall depends from the upper deck within the skirt. The inner wall has a downwardly sloped bottom wall with an edge forming an opening therethrough, forming a drain back for liquid into the container. A tubular spout extends from the bottom wall. The spout has a dispensing orifice. The spout and dispensing orifice configured for fluid communication with the container to dispense liquids therefrom. The closure may further include a sealing cap connected to the closure body via a living hinge.

Abstract: A dispensing closure for a squeeze-type container produces a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment. The dispensing closure includes a closure body having an upper deck and a skirt depending from the upper deck. The skirt is configured and arranged to attach to a product container, such as a squeeze-type container. A flow conduit extends from an interior of the closure body and through the upper deck to provide a flow path from an interior of the closure to an exterior of the closure. The flow conduit has an entrance orifice and an exit orifice. The flow conduit and the closure body are integrally formed. The flow conduit includes a tip portion with an exit orifice defining a shape to provide a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment.

Abstract: A dispensing closure and label system provides a clear indication of prior opening directly at the point of application of force to open the closure. The dispensing closure includes a closure body, a living hinge and a lid. The lid includes a downwardly depending sidewall that has a thumb tab that extends down beyond the parting line of the lid and the closure body. A label wraps around the skirt and container neck. The label overlaps that portion of the thumb tab that extends below the parting line of the lid and body. When the thumb tub is lifted to open the container, the paper label is ripped in the area of the thumb tab to evidence opening.

Abstract: A dispensing closure has a key-hole shaped flow conduit that provides a sufficient flow restriction to prevent unwanted spurting of the product. The dispensing closure includes a closure body with an upper and lower deck, inner and outer skirt, and a flow conduit extending through the upper deck. The flow conduit includes including two or more vertically oriented walls and a bottom wall. The vertically oriented walls define a fluid trapping area and a partition wall depending downwardly from said upper deck. The bottom wall configured and arranged to be positioned along a horizontal axis. The flow conduit includes one entrance orifice having one entrance axis and an exit orifice having an exit axis. The entrance axis is stepped or offset from the exit axis whereby the flow conduit provides a non-linear flow path of product from an interior of the closure to an exterior of the closure.
