Abstract: A spout for a container filled with a pourable product. The spout comprises at least a collar having a pouring outlet configured to allow an out-pouring of the pourable product and a lid assembly having a coupling ring rotatably arranged around the collar and a lid hinged to the coupling ring and angularly movable around a respective hinge axis. The lid is controllable between at least a closing configuration, an open configuration and an intermediate configuration. The spout comprises an interaction device partially associated to the collar and partially associated to the lid.

Abstract: An opening device for a package having a designated pour opening covered with a separation membrane and filled with a pourable product. The opening device comprises at least a collar delimiting a flow channel extending between an inlet opening of the collar configured to allow for the inlet of the pourable product into the flow channel and a pouring outlet of the collar configured to allow for an outflow of the pourable product from the flow channel and a cutter configured to break the separation membrane and being at least partially arranged within the flow channel. The opening device comprises a retaining device having a retaining element protruding from an inner surface of the collar and an interaction element connected to the cutter. The retaining element and the interaction element are configured to interact with one another so as to block movement of the cutter out of the flow channel and through the pouring outlet.

Abstract: A closure assembly for a container filled or fillable with a pourable product, the closure assembly comprising: a collar including an outer threaded portion; a lid including inner threaded portion, wherein the inner threaded portion and the outer threaded portion are configured to allow for fastening the lid to the collar by rotating the lid relative to the collar in a first rotation direction and for loosening the lid from the collar by rotating the lid relative to the collar in a second rotation direction; a ring member; a cutting device; a control device configured to control the cutting device; one or more coupling elements, each having a first end connected to the lid and a second end connected to the ring member, wherein the first end is positioned downstream of the second end along the second rotation direction.

Abstract: A closure assembly for a container filled or fillable with a pourable product comprising at least a lid having a first rim, a ring member having a second rim facing the first rim and one or more coupling elements, each one being connected to the first rim and to the second rim. Each coupling element comprises at least one respective intermediate portion, one respective first curved portion connected to the first rim and the intermediate portion and one respective second curved portion connected to the second rim and the intermediate portion. The intermediate portion is inclined with respect to the first rim and/or the second rim.

The lid is controllable between at least a closing configuration, an open configuration and an intermediate configuration. The spout comprises an interaction device partially associated to the collar and partially associated to the lid.

Abstract: An apparatus for coupling a first and a second part after they have been produced by injection moulding which includes: a linear runner, a carriage that is mounted on the runner, where it can make translations in a movement direction, and a pivoting member that is mounted cantilevered on the carriage in order to revolve in a planetary movement about a rotation axis perpendicular to the direction of movement of the carriage, so that the pivoting member revolving causes one of the two parts to turn over and enables it to be coupled with the other one. The motive part comprises a first electric drive mounted on the runner in order to move the carriage along the runner; and a second electric drive mounted on the carriage in order to cause the pivoting member to revolve so as to couple the two parts.

Abstract: A digital/analog converter comprises a converter array comprised of a plurality of converter cells and a device for self-calibration of the converter cells. The device for self-calibration comprises at least one reference cell with a reference value and a control device for controlling a calibration process. The control device calibrates successively, within a respective calibration period, respective of the converter cells to values corresponding to the reference value and adjusts respective calibration periods for a calibration cycle, within which the converter cells are to be calibrated. At least two different of the respective calibration periods differ within at least two calibration cycles.
