Abstract: A closure for a container is provided. The container has a side surface and a rim. The rim defines an opening and an opening axis perpendicular to the opening. The closure has a top portion for covering the opening; and a skirt portion, connected to the top portion, that surrounds a region of the side surface when the closure is connected to the container. The skirt portion has thread portions that cooperate with thread portions on the side surface to define movement of the closure relative the container in a direction parallel to the opening axis as the closure rotates about the opening axis relative to the container. The closure includes a liner extend across the top portion of the closure and at least partway across the skirt portion away from the top portion. The liner seals the opening of a container when the closure is connected to the container.

Abstract: A container and closure includes a closure secured to the container through projections comprising a series of horizontal, circumferentially spaced apart elements arranged so that the elements on the closure can pass though the spaces between the elements on the container and locate beneath them to secure the closure to the container. The elements of the projection on the container are separated from each other in the circumferential direction and do not overlap with each other in the vertical direction and the elements of the projection on the closure are separated from each other in the circumferential direction and do not overlap with each other in the vertical direction. The closure carries a sealing member for providing a seal with either an internal or external sealing surface of the container. The seal is driven down from a lead-in surface to engage the sealing surface as the closure is rotated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container system for liquids such as spray fragrances. The system includes a parent container (110) and a child container (120). The parent container provides a first cavity (113) for confining a liquid, and couples detachably to the child container for refilling the child container through a supply opening (111) in the parent container, so that the child container can be used for instance as a travel pack in a handbag or hand luggage. Here the child container is a compact dispenser, comprising a bowl-shaped rigid container (221) having a refill opening (222), which is kept closed by a valve unless the dispenser is connected to a supply container, and a dispense opening (224). These openings are located with a spacing from each other, and a pump (225) dispenses liquid from the dispense opening (224).
