  • Patent number: 11866234
    Abstract: A container having a cylindrical pouring nozzle with an external thread and with a stop; a cap with an internal thread which can be screwed onto the external thread of the pouring nozzle as far as an end position in which the cap bears in the direction of rotation on the stop of the pouring nozzle; and a seal made of a material which is softer than a material of the cap and a material of the pouring nozzle. The seal is fixedly connected to the cap and has a first sealing element which, with the cap screwed on, is arranged in a radial direction between the cap and pouring nozzle and bears on a lateral surface portion of the pouring nozzle.

  • Patent number: 11492791
    Abstract: A dosing system and method for dispensing a chemical composition into a tank of a toilet. The system includes a sensor obtaining a parameter representative of an environment of the toilet. The dosing system further includes a non-transitory control unit receiving the parameter and generating an activation signal for triggering dispensing of an amount of the chemical composition into the tank based on the parameter. The system further includes a dosing device inserted inside the tank. The dosing device has a cavity containing the chemical composition and a dispensing mechanism coupled with the cavity. The dispensing mechanism receives the activation signal and dispenses the amount of chemical composition into the tank upon reception of the at least one activation signal.

  • Publication number: 20210024257
    Abstract: A closure cap for a detergent bottle, the closure cap including at least one cap wall having a plurality of surface elements spaced apart from one another. The surface elements each have a circumferential edge, starting from which the particular surface element extends from a datum plane of the cap wall, and which surrounds a base of the surface element located in the datum plane of the cap wall. In order to form a smooth transition from the datum plane that does not have a notch effect, a radius of curvature is provided at the circumferential edge that is larger than the largest longitudinal extent of the base of the surface element.

  • Publication number: 20190031404
    Abstract: An attachment for a washing or rinsing agent bottle. The attachment is made from a main component and at least one auxiliary component in a multicomponent injection casting method, wherein a seal element is molded using the auxiliary component. The main component or the auxiliary component has a marker which causes a contrast between the auxiliary component and the main component under UV light or IR light. The invention also relates to a method for producing such an attachment.

  • Publication number: 20170334615
    Abstract: Closure devices and containers including the closure devices are provided herein. An exemplary closure device includes a frame defining an opening, a lid covering the opening and coupled to the frame so as to pivot about a pivot axis, a first locking feature, and at least one second locking feature. The first locking feature and the at least one second locking feature each have a latching hook and an undercut and are used to hold the lid in a closed position. In the closed position, the latching hook and undercut of the first locking feature are arranged between a first outer edge of the closure device and the opening. An upper rim of the first outer edge is located above an upper end of the latching hook. The first outer edge is designed to protect the latching hook from being operated in an unintended manner.

  • Publication number: 20170203889
    Abstract: A closure having a frame, a lid and a first closing means as well as at least one second closing means, apart from the first closing means. The closing means each have a lid portion and a frame portion, the first closing means can be opened by the frame portion being manipulated and the second closing means can be opened by the lid portion being manipulated. The lid portion of the second closing means has a pressure-exerting surface and a counter-pressure surface, the lid portion can be fixed by the retaining forces such that a pivoting force acting transversely to the retaining forces can be introduced into the lid portion, via the pressure-exerting surface and counter-pressure surface, in order for the lid to be pivoted out of the closed position.
