Abstract: A cap includes a top wall, an outer peripheral edge, a first section, and a second section. A skirt depends from the outer peripheral edge. The skirt includes an attached end, a free end, a plurality of slots, and a plurality of apertures. Each aperture is spaced-apart from the free end of the skirt. The top wall has a first configuration and a second configuration. When the top wall is in the first configuration, the first section is generally planer and the second section is generally arcuate. When the top wall is in the first configuration, the skirt extends generally perpendicularly to the first section to generally engage at least a portion of a container. When the top wall is in the second configuration, the free end of the skirt extends radially outwardly from the attached end thereof to allow the cap to be removed from the container.

Abstract: A closure includes a cup shaped overcap having a depending sidewall. The sidewall is provided with a lug having a plurality of inwardly facing teeth. Each one of the inwardly facing teeth has a gently sloping face and steeply sloping face. The slopes of the gently sloping faces and the steeply sloping faces of at least two of the inwardly facing teeth differ respectively one from another. The closure also includes a cup shaped undercap having a depending sidewall. The sidewall is provided with a plurality of outwardly facing teeth around its periphery. Each one of the teeth has a steeply sloping face and a gently sloping face. The steeply sloping faces and the gently sloping faces of the outwardly facing teeth are adapted to abut respectively, at least two of the steeply sloping faces and the gently sloping faces of the inwardly facing teeth.

Abstract: A closure for a container having a top wall, a first tubular wall with a radial exterior surface and a radial interior surface, and a second tubular wall with a radial exterior surface and a radial interior surface. The first tubular wall extends generally transversely downwardly from a peripheral edge of the top wall and the second tubular wall extends generally transversely downwardly from an interior surface of the top wall radially inwardly from the first tubular wall to establish an unobstructed void between the interior surface of the first tubular wall and the exterior surface of the second tubular wall. The interior surface of the second tubular wall has first screw threads configured to removably engage second screw threads formed on the container.

Abstract: A blow molded container includes an identification device at least partially embedded in a wall of the container. The container has a bottom wall having a periphery and a concave shape that extends generally inwardly into the container and a sidewall surrounding the bottom wall and extending generally upwardly from the periphery. A capsule is at least partially embedded in one of the bottom wall and the sidewall and an identification device is completely enclosed within the capsule. An entire exterior surface of the capsule is surrounded by one of the bottom wall and the sidewall of the container.

Abstract: An enclosure for enclosing an automatic identification device includes an outer cap that has a base wall and a skirt depending therefrom and an inner cap that has a base wall and a skirt depending therefrom. The inner cap is removably secured within the outer cap. A gap is located between the base wall of the outer cap and the base wall of the inner cap when the inner cap is secured within the outer cap. An automatic identification device is located within the gap and preferably secured to an interior surface of one of the base wall of the outer cap and the base wall of the inner cap. The gap is sized and shaped to receive the automatic identification device.

Abstract: A container that has an automatic identification device for identifying the contents therein includes a bottom that has an outer periphery and a neck that defines an opening at a top portion thereof for receiving a product and a shoulder proximate a bottom portion thereof. The neck has a radially inwardly extending flange on an inner surface thereof. The flange is located at a predetermined distance away from the top portion of the neck. The container further includes a sidewall that extend generally upwardly from the periphery of the bottom to the shoulder of the neck. A cap is removably engageable to the neck and an automatic identification device is removably mountable on the flange of the neck.

Abstract: A safety closure for a threaded container includes a first cap having a first top wall with a peripheral edge and, a first skirt extending transversely from the peripheral edge with first and second flexible contact tabs. The interior surface of each of the tabs has a protrusion extending radially inwardly. A second cap has a second top wall with a peripheral edge and a second skirt extending transversely from the peripheral edge. A plurality of circumferentially extending recesses are disposed on the exterior surface of the second skirt. A corresponding plurality of lugs extend radially outwardly from the exterior surface of the second skirt adjacent each recess. Each lug includes an angled lug ramp intersecting with a generally flat face. The second cap is positioned within the first cap in nested coaxial relationship.

Abstract: A closure sealingly engages with a container having a generally annular neck having a top edge and inner and outer surfaces and defining a container opening. The closure comprises a generally circular top wall having opposed inner and outer surfaces. A generally annular skirt extends downwardly from the inner surface of the top wall. A plurality of annular seal members, extending downwardly from and integral with the inner surface of the top wall, includes at least a plug seal that engages with the inner surface of the neck to create a first seal therebetween, a V-ring seal that engages with the top edge of the neck to create a second seal therebetween, and a flexible seal that engages with the top edge of the neck to create a third seal therebetween.

Abstract: A closure for a container. The closure includes an annular skirt and a lid attached to the skirt by a living hinge, and a latch which releasably engages an outer surface of the skirt to hold the lid in a closed position. When the lid is in the closed position, an upper surface of the lid is substantially coplanar with the living hinge and an upper surface of the skirt. The closure has an opening having an area which is substantially equal to the area of an opening of the container. The closure may be adapted for use with various types of existing container neck designs. The closure, including the skirt, lid, hinge and latch, is formed as an integral, one piece assembly.
