  • Publication number: 20150060457
    Abstract: A pre-assembled container closure assembly (1) has a plastic spout body (2) with a tubular neck (4) delimiting a product passage (6) that extends to a mouth opening (8) of the neck. A rotational cap (30) is secured in closed position on the neck. The cap has a cap body including a top wall (31)and a skirt (32). The cap body further includes an annular inner sealing ring (40) depending from the top wall. The inside of the neck is provided with an inward tapering annular guide surface (15) that is contacted by the inner sealing ring when the cap is secured onto the spout body and then causes an elastic deformation of the inner sealing ring and/or the neck.

  • Patent number: 8939302
    Abstract: A closure assembly comprises an article (1) forming a tubular neck (2) around a product passage (3) in said article. The neck forms a mouth at a top end of said product passage. The assembly further comprises a rotational cap (20) that is injection molded of plastic material and that is secured on or to be secured on said neck of the article. The cap seals the product passage in closed position of the cap on said neck, and the cap—for removal of the cap from the neck of the article by a user to open the product passage—is adapted to be manually rotated from the closed position in an opening direction.

  • Patent number: 8893912
    Abstract: A closure device (1) for a product dispensing container. The closure device comprises a base (2) having a body with a connector portion (2a) adapted to mount the closure device on a product container. The base comprises a product channel (5) and a rupturable seal (4) occluding the product channel and forming a lower seal of the closure device. A rotary part (20) is rotatably journalled on the base. The rotary part has a product passage (21) in communication with the product channel in the base. An upper sealing arrangement (30) is arranged on the rotary part and forms an upper seal of the closure device that is remote from the lower seal and seals the product passage of the rotary part. A lower seal rupturing member (40) is movable in a rupturing motion relative to the base to rupture the rupturable lower seal. A motion transfer (27, 42, 3b, 41) means is provided and is adapted so as to effect the rupturing motion of the lower seal rupturing member upon suitable rotary actuation of the rotary part.

  • Patent number: 8794488
    Abstract: A container (1) with a portion dispensing device for dispensing portions of a product from the container. The container has a main reservoir (2) for storage of product. The portion dispensing device comprises a variable volume product chamber (30) and associated restoring means. The variable volume product chamber (30) has a product outlet and an outlet valve (45). The product chamber also has a product inlet in communication with the main reservoir (2) and an inlet valve. The variable volume product chamber (30) has a volume that is reduced upon increased pressurization of product in the main reservoir (2) of the container (1), and that is increased, at when the increased pressurization of product in the main reservoir (2) of the container (1) is removed. The inlet valve (60) closes the product inlet upon increase of pressurization of the product in the main reservoir (2) so that product passes from the chamber via the product outlet.

  • Publication number: 20110190628
    Abstract: A syringe comprises a syringe body (2) with a cylindrical part (3), a piston body (5) with a piston (7), and a piston seal that limits a movement of the piston body in proximal direction with regard to the cylindrical part. The piston seal has been provided in such a way that this discemibly damages if the piston body is moved in proximal direction with regard to the syringe body. At least one stop section has been provided that protrudes outwardly in the radial direction on the piston body that is limited in the axial direction by at least one limiting section (27) of the piston seal that extends inwardly in the radial direction. The stop section that protrudes outwardly in the radial direction is formed through a stop cam (10) that is compressable inwardly in the radial direction, in which the limiting section has radial internal dimensions that are greater than the radial external dimensions of the piston and the radial internal dimensions of the cylindrical part, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20060138168
    Abstract: A system for supplying a liquid or paste-like substance. The system comprises a compressible bag for receiving the substance to be supplied, a supply assembly which forms a supply channel with a corresponding supply mouth for supplying the substance from the bag, and a container. The container has a supporting body comprising at least a supporting plate and a movable presser plate, wherein the supporting body and the presser plate together form a chamber for the incorporation therein of the bag, so that the bag is positioned between the supporting plate and the presser plate. The presser plate can be moved in a pressure direction to the supporting plate to empty the substance from the bag. The supporting body in a region between the supporting plate and the presser plate is provided with a passage for the supply assembly.
