  • Publication number: 20050230342
    Abstract: A closing element of plastic for beverage containers (1) comprises a main body (2) with a circular-cylindrical shape defined by an upper surface (3) and a lower annular liner (4) made in a single piece to enclose an end portion of the container (1). The closing element further comprises a lateral portion having a pair of weakened and/or tear lines (9a, 9b) extending from the free edge (4a) of the annular liner (4) for a length equal to a third dimension ©. The two lines (9a, 9b) are separated, at their end sections, by a first dimension (A) and, at the free edge (4a), by a second dimension (B). The lateral portion (10) defined by the pair of lines (9a, 9b) is acted upon by a tab (11) associated with the annular liner (4) and designed to separate the closing element from the neck (6) so as to open the container.

  • Publication number: 20040026354
    Abstract: A closing element (100) made of a plastic material for containers (1) for liquids comprising a mouth (2) for dispensing the beverage and defined by the neck (3) of the container (1) with an annular bead (4). The element (100) comprises a first, outer body (5) with a circular-cylindrical shape, defined by an upper surface (6) and a lower annular liner (7) made as a single piece, plus a plurality of projecting pins (8), arranged evenly on the inner part of the annular liner (7); and a second, inner body (9) with a circular-cylindrical shape, which can be inserted in the first body (5) and has cams (10) on its own outer annular surface (11), being designed, in conjunction with the pins (8), to allow a stable minimum radial dimension configuration, or tightening, of the second body (9), by the radial thrust of the pins (8), and a maximum radial dimension configuration, by unique rotation of the first body (5) about the second body (9), with radial opening of the second body (9) relative to the first body (5).

  • Patent number: 6183827
    Abstract: A lid for foodstuff containers includes a shell shaped so that it can be fitted over an opening in a container, and a PVC-free seal, bearing an inscription, attached to the bottom of the shell and able to seal the lid to the container; the seal is applied to the bottom of the lid by applying adhesive paint between the bottom and the seal; this paint which can be used to control the adherence of the seal to the bottom, consists of a mixture of synthetic resins and hydrocarbons with added metallic pigment; a film bearing the inscription is applied over the paint, said inscription made using an ink which has a given chemical-physical affinity with the material used for the seal; it is, therefore, easy to detach the seal from the bottom of the lid upon which the inscription is clearly reproduced.
