Abstract: A closure can include a base having an opening. The base can be connected to a container such that a liquid in the container, for example a creamer, is pourable through the opening of the closure into a beverage cup. The closure can include an overcap having a plug, and the plug can seal the opening when the overcap is in a closed position relative to the base. A hinge can connect the overcap to the base and be biased to establish and maintain an angle of the overcap when the overcap moves out of the closed position. Liquid retained on the overcap during opening of the overcap can then fall directly into the beverage cup during pouring due to the angle of the overcap in the open position. Any retained liquid ingredient that falls from the overcap onto the base can be confined within a ring on the base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container for a liquid or viscous product, comprising a substantially ovoid or spherical container body having a diameter D1, and a neck having a diameter D2, said neck comprising a dispensing opening and means for allowing closing means to be attached thereto, D1 being greater than D2, said container being made out of semi-cristalline PET, the walls of said container body having a thickness inferior or equal to 100 ?m at least in the middle-height region of said container. In a highly preferred embodiment of the invention, the container body comprises at least two opposite flat, substantially vertical, surfaces, and a flat, substantially horizontal, surface located opposite the neck and forming a bottom side.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a container (1) comprising a deformable container body (2) with at least one compartment, for containing a flowable liquid, semi-liquid, 5 or jellified product having a viscosity lower than 1 Pa·s at 20 C, and at least one dispensing opening (4) for dispensing said product, which is located in a spout element (3), said container having a capacity of at least 10 ml, preferably at least 50 ml, characterized in that the functional cross-section of said at least one opening is fixed and comprised between 0.002 mm2 and 7 mm2., preferably between 0.008 mm2 and 0.8 mm2, more preferably between 0.03 mm2 and 0.4 mm2, and most preferably between 0.07 mm2 and 0.2 mm2, such that said product flows through said opening only after an external force of at least 0.5 kg, preferably at least 1 kg, more preferably at least 3 kg, is exerted onto the container body walls which is directed towards the inside of said body.

Abstract: A device (100) for dispensing a substance comprising a chamber (400) with walls having a combination of at least a strong seal (102) and at least a weak seal (101a, 101, 103, 103a) wherein the weak seal (101a, 101, 103, 103a) bridges the walls (105) of a spout (200). The spout (200) guides the substance to the at least a weak seal (101a, 101, 103, 103a). The spout (200) is defined by having at least a wall (105) formed by the at least a strong seal (102) extending inwardly from the at least a weak seal (101a, 101, 103, 103a). When the spout (200) has a plurality of weak seals (101a, 101, 103, 103a), at least a buffer chamber (300) is formed between the weak seals (101a, 101, 103, 103a). The discharging end of the spout (201) has an outermost weak seal (101a). The device (100) dispenses the substance when an external pressure is applied to the chamber (400).

Abstract: A packaging assembly for lightweight containers that includes a secondary packaging for gathering and holding a plurality of individual primary lightweight containers. The secondary packaging includes two layers of thermoplastic shrinkable film enclosing the lightweight containers, with the layers being connected to one another at least partially in the circumference of the secondary packaging. Each of the primary lightweight containers has a container body and a container neck with a neck opening. The lightweight containers are disposed in the secondary packaging in rows forming one single, substantially plane layer, with all containers being oriented with their longitudinal axis (L) forming an angle (?) with the plane of the packaging assembly that is between 0 and 45°.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a one piece squeezable container for chilled or frozen products comprising a body formed by a wall and closing means, said body having in his greater section a dimension d1 and a neck with an internal diameter d2, a wall thickness comprised between 30 and 500 pm, being made from a semicrystalline PET and wherein the ratio volume of the body of the container per gram of PET of the body is comprised between 20 and 100.
