  • Patent number: 9688448
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a cap (10) for receptacles (20) such as e.g. glass jars, comprising a cap base body (11) with a fixing means (13) for enabling the cap (10) to be removably attached on the receptacles (20), a backing layer (2) made from a deformable material, and a sealable, preferably heat-sealable membrane (3) not being glued to the backing layer (2), wherein both the backing layer (2) and the membrane (3) are retained inside the cap (10) via a retention portion (18) extending from an inner side wall (14) of the cap (10). The invention is further directed to a receptacle (20) having said cap (10) for closing it, and is also directed to a method for providing the cap (10) with a sealing element (1) and for providing said cap (10) onto the receptacle (20).

  • Publication number: 20150217919
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sachet (1) having a triangular shape and comprising an interior space (6) enclosed by one sheet of flexible blank material, the sheet being folded upon itself to form a front layer (2) and a rear layer (3) of the sachet (1). The front layer (2) and the rear layer (3) are joined by sealing (4) located along two edges (5) of the sachet (1) to define the interior space (6). The sachet (1) comprises a means (7) for starting opening of the sachet (1) as well as a tear strip (11) arranged between the front layer (2) and the rear layer (3) of the sachet (1) in proximity to and running at least partially along the sealing (4) at one of the two edges (5) joined by sealing (4). The shape of the sachet (1) and the arrangement of the tear strip (11) are so that the sachet (1) obtains a cone-like shape after opening so that it is easy both to hold by hand and to reach into to take out content from the sachet (1).
