  • Publication number: 20240150093
    Abstract: The invention relates to a container closure (10) comprising a base portion (16) which extends about a reference axis (100) of the container closure (10), a cap portion (18) which in a closed positioned covers a drinking hole (30) in the container closure (10) and in an open position leaves said drinking hole in the container closure (10) uncovered, and a tamper-evident ring (14) which is separate from the cap portion (18) and the base portion (16) and is interlockingly connected to the cap portion (18) and connected to the base portion (14) in a hooked manner. The tamper-evident ring (18) has an annular bead (56) that is not radially covered by the base portion (16) and extends in an annular groove (54) of an outer wall (34) of the cap portion (18), which wall faces radially outward.

  • Patent number: 11242177
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a screw cap for a neck of a bottle composed of an upper part removeable from the neck and a lower park non-removeable from the neck and which is a tamper evidence band (TEB) linked to the cap's skirt by frangible connection bridges designed to be broken at the first licit opening of the bottle. TEB also displays any breaking of the cap before the first container opening, thanks to additional lower markers which are composed of annularly regularly distributed frangible connection bridges. Upper frangible bridges and lower frangible bridges are below the top edge of the neck in the original closed position of the cap and define a top ring of the TEB which is intact after the first licit opening.

  • Publication number: 20190225389
    Abstract: The invention pertains to an improved container (e.g bottle) cap which is a single use leakproof closing, which shows obvious indications of an illicit opening and re-use, having a double level of tamperproof means. This cap is a screw cap (1) for a neck (2) of a bottle (3) comprising an upper part (4) removable from the neck (2) and a lower part (5) non-removable from the neck (2). Said lower non-removable part (5) is a tamper evidence band (TEB) linked to the bottom edge (12) of the cap's skirt (11) by annularly regularly distributed frangible connection bridges (13) which are designed to be broken at the first licit opening of the bottle by unscrewing and removal of the upper part (4) of the cap (1). Said TEB also displays any breaking in of the cap (1) before the first container (3) opening, thanks to additional lower markers (18) which are composed of annularly regularly distributed frangible connection bridges (18).

  • Publication number: 20100264144
    Abstract: The invention concerns a closure with pouring means comprising a first part including pouring means (4) and a base (3) having a skirt for being fixed to the body of the container and first rigid fixing means for a second part including a cap (6) having a top wall, a skirt (20) and sealing means (22) for the pouring means (4), means (7) for pivoting the cap (6) and second rigid fixing means complementary of the first rigid fixing means. The pivoting means (7), located transversely plumb over the skirt of the cap (6), comprise a globally hollow deformable part delimited by an upper arc-shaped segment of reduced thickness belonging to the skirt (20), by a lower arc-shaped segment of reduced thickness belonging to the second fixing means, and by two axially oriented free edges, such that when the stopper is opened, the pivoting angle of the cap may be of the order of 180°.

  • Patent number: 7611025
    Abstract: The invention concerns a closure comprising a base portion and a cap forming portion including a top articulated to a ring through a hinge. The strap enables the cap forming portion to be moulded in closing position of the top, tamperproof means being provided between the ring and the top. When the cover is closed, the sensitive zones of the cap are either located in a sealed closed space, or capable of being in contact with a liquid (in solution or spray) and capable of being treated so as to eliminate said liquid, so as to sanitize the closure. Furthermore, the tamperproof means are deformed and ruptured when the top is first opened such that the resulting free ends are sufficiently spaced apart from each other, thus easily revealing to a user whether it has been tampered with.

  • Patent number: 7077294
    Abstract: A device for stoppering a container and drawing off a fluid includes a fixed piece, fixed to the container, with a lateral fluid output opening and a passage that allows air to enter. Another, movable piece includes a tube with a lateral fluid output opening. This tube can move in rotation inside the fixed piece and also in axial translation between a maximum “pushed-in” position and an extracted position so that lateral openings can be brought into coincidence through rotating the movable piece. The movable piece has an internal skirt enabling the channeling of fluid toward the output opening to prevent leakage through the passage for the entry of air. The fixed piece includes a guide for displacing the movable piece with respect to the fixed piece from the maximum “pushed-in” position to the extracted position that displays a coincidence of the openings.

    Abstract: The device comprises: a piece fixed to the container, having a lateral fluid output opening and a passage allowing the entry of air; a movable piece comprising a tube having a lateral fluid output opening, the tube being movable rotationally in the fixed piece and in axial translation between a maximum pushing-in position and an extraction position where the lateral openings can be brought into coincidence by rotation of the movable piece. The movable piece comprises an internal skirt making it possible to channel the fluid towards the output opening in order to prevent leakages through the air entry passage. The fixed piece comprises means for guiding the displacement of the movable piece with respect to the fixed piece from the maximum pushing-in position to the extraction position with coincidence of the openings.

  • Publication number: 20040129667
    Abstract: The invention concerns a closure device for a carboy designed for a liquid dispenser of the water fountain type. The device comprises a cap (3) including a transverse wall (5) wherefrom projects an outer skirt (6). The transverse wall has, on its inner surface (29), an annular groove (30) coaxial with the cap, delimited by two ribs (31, 32) projecting from the transverse wall. The groove is designed to receive a cast or moulded joint (34), and to prevent the displacement thereof parallel to the transverse wall. The groove can also include on its inner surface means for catching said joint.
