Abstract: A filter element for a portion capsule is insertable into a base element that is designed in a beaker-like manner and that, together with a capsule cover, which is fastened to the base element after inserting the filter element, defines an outer capsule wall. The filter element is designed such that it divides the capsule interior between an extraction material region and a collecting region, which is formed between the filter element and the outer capsule wall. The filter element forms a filter plate and a two-dimensional frame of struts, which run along the filter plate and meet one another at an angle, wherein the struts have a cross section that reduces radially outwards.

Abstract: The invention relates to a welded part (1) made from plastic between the flexible walls of a container, in particular of a bag, with a stub (3) which is formed integrally on the welded part at the top and forms a pouring channel which connects the upper pouring opening of the stub to the lower pouring channel region (3a) of the lower welded region (2), wherein a barrier layer (6) is arranged in the pouring channel, which barrier layer (6) is opened by a projection (8) of a closure cap (7) which can be screwed onto the stub (3), wherein the projection (8) of the closure cap (7), which projection (8) reaches into the pouring channel (4), is fastened to the barrier layer (6), as a result of which the barrier layer (6) is removed completely or partially when the closure cap (7) is screwed open.

Abstract: A pack in which a food or beverage ingredient is stored and in which a beverage is produced when water is introduced inside is disclosed, along with methods of production and use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a closure cap for a container filled with medicinal fluid, which container has an aperture piece which is sealed off by a diaphragm which can be punctured. The closure cap has a cap-shaped closure body (1) and a drinking neck (4) with a drinking opening (4a) which is pivotable between a first position, in which the drinking neck bears against the closure cap, and a second position, in which the drinking neck projects from the closure cap. In addition, the closure cap has means (20, 22) for puncturing the diaphragm which seals off the aperture piece of the container, which means (20, 22) interact with the drinking neck in such a way that, as the drinking neck (4) is pivoted, the diaphragm is punctured such that a connection is produced between the opening (4a) of the drinking neck and the container interior.

Abstract: A closure used on a beverage container has an outlet neck centered on an axis. The closure has a mount secured to the neck and a valve body formed with an outwardly open passage extending along a passage axis generally coaxial with the outlet-neck axis. This body is pivotally displaceable in the mount about a valve-body axis generally coaxial with the passage axis and outlet-neck axis between an open position and a closed position and through an intermediate position. Structure on the valve body and mount block flow through the passage in the closed position, allow free flow through the passage in the open position, and limit flow through the passage in the intermediate position.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for applying for liquid agents, such as hair cosmetics and/or dyeing and/or bleaching liquids, to hair on the head by means of wicks which are arranged in parallel rows and, on account of their capillary action, obtain the liquid agent from a reservoir chamber, with the wicks forming the tines of a comb.

Abstract: A closeable dispensing device for dispensing a liquid, viscous or pasty medium contained in a container, has an outlet opening which serves for dispensing the medium. The device further has a channel that extends between the container and the outlet opening, and a closure device which is inserted into an opening of the dispensing device. The closure device is movable relative to the opening and is intended for closing the channel. The closure device and a surface bounding the opening come into contact only via elevations provided on the closure device or on the surface adjacent to the opening.

Abstract: A supply holding hair-treatment liquid has an elongated dispenser spout and is used with an applicator having a body fittable to the supply with the spout projecting a predetermined distance beyond the body. A plurality of hard support core pins are fixed on the body extend adjacent the spouts and respective soft cover sheaths fitted over the support pins form therewith teeth projecting from the body beyond an outer end of the spout when the body is fitted to the supply.

Abstract: A pouch adapted to contain a fluent material has a fitting having a base fitted hermetically to the pouch and having a surface exposed in the pouch. A tubular spout projects outward from the base and forms with the base a throughgoing passage opening into the pouch and having an inner surface. A liner of a barrier material covers both of the surfaces. A layer of plastic covers inner surfaces of the liner. This layer of plastic can be unitary with the base and spout so that the liner is imbedded in the base and spout, or a separate not unitary piece fitted over the liner to the fitting. Normally the liner is unitarily formed of one piece, and is in fact a generally T-shaped body like the combined spout and base.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing/pouring combination with security seal, comprising a sealing cap piece (1), for mounting on a pouring piece (2) with a through passage (3) and for sealing the through passage, whereby the sealing cap piece has a cap circumferential wall (6) and complementary engaging means provided on the sealing cap piece and the pouring piece which come into engagement with each other during the assembly of the sealing cap piece on the pouring piece. The above prevents a movement of the sealing cap piece in a direction against that of the assembly direction. The engaging means on the cap are provided on at least one circumferential wall region (11), recessed in the circumferential wall of the sealing cap piece, connected to the cap circumferential wall with at least a pair of webs (12, 13) in the region of the circumferential ends thereof, of which at least one is embodied as a tear-off web (12).
