Publication number: 20170334615Abstract: 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.

Patent number: 8646118Abstract: Cartridge (1) for coupling to a toilet flusher comprising at least one chamber (2) for receiving at least one free-flowing toilet cleaning preparation (6). The chamber (2) has an outlet (4) that lies in the direction of gravitation such that the toilet cleaning preparation can be released from the chamber (2) due to the force of gravity. The outlet (4) is, prior to a first coupling to the toilet flusher, secured prior to the release of the toilet cleaning preparation (6). The preparation is released from the cartridge (1) through the outlet due to the force of gravity when the cartridge (1) is first coupled to the toilet flusher. The chamber (2) has a communicating bar (8), wherein the bar and at least one other chamber (10) are designed so that they interact whereby the chamber (10) can be arranged on or next to the bar (8).Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2011Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.
