  • Patent number: 10492634
    Abstract: A closure device for containers suitable for holding liquids may include: a collar adapted to be applied to a neck of a liquid container, the collar having a lip; an elastically deformable membrane, configured to connect to the collar and to close the liquid container, wherein the membrane is configured to rest upon the lip and to define a seal along the lip, and wherein the seal is at least partially releasable by pressure exerted by a mouth of a user; and first and second flanges. The first flange is formed as a single piece with the membrane. The second flange is fixed to the collar to be locked between the first flange and the membrane. The first flange includes: a first portion projecting out of the membrane; and a second portion projecting out of the first portion. The second portion is oriented perpendicularly to the first portion.

  • Patent number: 9834343
    Abstract: A closure device for containers comprises a lid having a spout (4) with holes (4a), a valve body (9) attached to the lid (4) and operable on the spout (4). The valve body (9) comprises a cup-shaped element (10) having a blind bottom wall (10a) and a side wall (10b) that emerges from the bottom wall (10a) and delimits an upper opening, the side wall (10b) of the cup-shaped element (10) being made of a resilient material, and at least partially contacting a first sleeve (5) of the lid (2), which is in fluid communication with the spout (4). The side wall (10b) of the cup-shaped element (10) contacts the first sleeve (5) in a fluid-tight manner and moves away from the first sleeve (5) in response to a negative pressure introduced through the spout (4).
