  • Publication number: 20190168924
    Abstract: A closure (8) with tamper-evident band (40) includes a fixed band (42, 142) and a movable body (50). The fixed band (42, 142), with tamper-evident band inviolate, is joined to the movable body (50) by a weakened portion (52, 152) The tamper-evident band (40) also includes a tamper-evident ring (70, 170) housed, with the tamper-evident band inviolate, in an inner compartment of the closure (8) to be hidden from view. The weakened portion (52, 152) tears due to the unscrewing of the closure (8) and the tamper-evident ring (70,170) pops out of the inner compartment and is arranged, with the seal violated, so as to separate a fixed edge (49, 149) of the fixed band (42, 142) from a movable edge (51, 151) of the movable body (50).

  • Publication number: 20170008207
    Abstract: A spout (1) for a flexible pouch (100) for liquid food, such as fruit juices, yogurt, fruit or vegetable purees and the like, includes a tubular barrier (30) embedded in the tube (18), made of a material impermeable to atmospheric oxygen. The spout is made by molding equipment that includes a counter-mold (300) with fixed insert (302) and a movable skirt (304), slidably fitted on the fixed insert (302). The spout may be made by a production method in which, during the injection of a first oxygen permeable plastic material, the skirt (304) is moved, coming out of the barrier (30), which remains in a fixed initial position.
