The bottle neck also includes at least one outer thread located around the peripheral wall, the outer thread having a top end, and an offset located under the top edge and lateraly extending from the peripheral wall to a border of the top edge. The bottle neck comprises at least one slope located along the offset and over the outer thread, and the at least one slop extends from the peripheral wall to the border of the top edge in an outward inclined way.

Abstract: The invention is a screw type plastic stopper, comprising a closure shell and a tamper band to be secured on a bottle neck. The stopper further includes a weakness line having bridges, that separably link a bottom edge of the closure shell to a top edge of the tamper band, and at least one inner thread that is located and extends along an inner wall of the stopper. The inner thread is interrupted along the weakness line and comprises a top part located at the closure shell over the weakness line and a bottom part located at the tamper band under the weakness line.

Abstract: The present invention includes a plastic stopper, comprising a closure shell with a top roof and a tamper band to be secured on a bottle neck. The plastic stopper also includes a weakness line with bridges separably linked a bottom edge of the closure shell and a top edge of the tamper band and at least two hinges, the two hinges pivotably link the bottom edge of the closure shell and the top edge of the tamper band. At least one gap is located between the two hinges, the gap having a shape with a middle area. At least one tongue extends outwardly and laterally from the roof, the tongue being located over the middle area of the gap. The stopper includes knurls distributed around a peripheral wall of the closure shell and has the at least one tongue shaped alike one of the knurls.

Abstract: The invention includes a plastic stopper comprising a closure shell and a tamper band. The tamper band is separably connected to the closure shell through at least a weakness line and includes a hoop positioned at a bottom edge of the tamper band. The hoop is configured to invert into and secured under a ring of the bottle neck, and the hoop comprising a least one protrusion. The hoop is configured to inverted into the stopper and extend in front of an inner wall of the tamper band. The inner wall comprises a recess extending into a thickness of the inner wall, and the is recess configured to receive the at least one protrusion of the hoop.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tethered plastic screw stopper for closing a bottle. The stopper comprises a tamper band, a closure shell, and an annular strip positioned between and connected to the tamper band and the closure shell. The tamper band comprises a first bottom hinge connected to the annular strip, and the closure shell comprises a second top hinge connected to the annular strip and diametrically opposite the first bottom hinge. A bottom weakness line is positioned between the tamper band and the annular strip proximate to the bottom hinge, and a top weakness line is positioned between the annular strip and the closure shell proximate to the top hinge. Also disclosed is a method for making the tethered plastic screw stopper.

Abstract: The present invention relates to tethered plastic stopper having a closure shell, a tamper band, and an annular ring. The annular ring is formed between a bottom weakness line separably linked through bottom bridges to the top edge of the tamper band and to the bottom edge of the annular ring and a top weakness line separably linked through top bridges to the top edge of the annular ring and to the bottom edge of the closure shell. At least one of the bottom bridges is configured to prevent disconnection of the annular ring from the tamper band and at least one of the top bridges is configured to prevent disconnection of the annular ring from the closure shell. The remaining bottom bridge and the remaining top bridge having a section exceeding at least 30% relative to the section of the bottom bridges and top bridges, respectively.

Abstract: A closure for a container includes a closure shell having a first interior surface, a tamper evident band having a second interior surface, and a flexible hinge. The flexible hinge includes a first end, a second end, and a gathered portion located between the first and second ends. The first end is coupled to the closure shell and the second end is coupled to the tamper evident band. At least a portion of the gathered portion extends radially inward with respect to the interior surface of the closure shell. The flexible hinge permits the closure shell to be opened and remain tethered to the tamper evident band. The closure may further include a retaining bead or ratchets to keep the tamper evident band attached to the container.

Abstract: Hinged closures for containers are provided. The hinged closures allow for a closure that can be held in the open position with a large opening angle. The hinged closures include a lid portion and a skirt portion interconnected by a hinge portion. The hinge portion can be formed from two connecting columns and a central tongue, or two tongues and a central connecting column.

Abstract: The present invention relates to tethered plastic stopper having a tamper band having an offset wall, a closure shell having a peripheral wall, and a hinge connected to the closure shell and a bottom edge attached to the tamper band. The closure shell is also separably connected to the tamper band through a weakness line. The peripheral wall extends around a portion perimeter of the stopper forming a first end at one edge of the peripheral wall and a second end edge at the other edge of the peripheral wall. The offset wall extends between the first and second ends of the peripheral wall at the opposite of the hinge.

Abstract: The present invention includes a tethered plastic stopper having a tamper band, a closure shell having a plurality of tongues, and a hinge attached at a bottom portion to the tamper band and attached at a top portion to the closure shell.
