Publication number: 20220411152Abstract: A packaging material for the formation of packaging containers comprising at least a base layer having a hole and at least one separation element covering the hole. The hole extends within a plane being defined by a longitudinal axis and a transversal axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. An imaginary longitudinal line parallel to the first longitudinal axis and an imaginary transversal line parallel to the transversal axis mutually intersect at a center point of the hole. A first maximum extension of the hole along the imaginary longitudinal line is larger than a second maximum extension of the hole along the imaginary transversal line. The hole is asymmetric with respect to the imaginary transversal line.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2020Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Giulio BERTANI, Francesca TAVONI

Publication number: 20220119174Abstract: A spout includes a base frame fittable about a designated package pour opening surface area, an opening assembly moveably coupled to the base frame and adapted to at least partially cut/rupture/open/pierce the pour opening surface area, and a control device configured to control the opening assembly. The control device comprises at least one interaction element connected to the opening assembly, at least one control ring rotatably coupled to the base frame and at least one interaction member connected/coupled to the control ring and configured to interact with the interaction element. In use, upon rotating the control ring, the interaction member interacts with the interaction element to induce translation of a cutter of the opening assembly for controlling the opening assembly from a rest configuration to an operative configuration and an axial end portion of the interaction member is arranged within a rotation plane fixed relative to the base frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2020Publication date: April 21, 2022Applicant: TETRA LAVAL HOLDINGS & FINANCE S.A.Inventors: Rocco DE PAOLA, Angelo SORBARA, Franco CANI, Joachim Kristofer BJURENHEIM, Sara BERTONCINI, James Maxwell EELBECK, Sarah Anne DICKINS, Alessandro MORSELLI, Mariastella ORIOLO, Tiziano VIANI, Pietro MARTINI, Livio VERONESI, Giulio BERTANI
