  • Patent number: 11059633
    Abstract: A flip-top closure includes a spout, a lid, and a hinge member. The spout is configured for coupling with a fitment of a container. The spout includes a base portion, a tip portion, and a main body. The base portion defines a retention receptacle and an inlet. The inlet includes a first diameter. The tip portion extends from the base portion and defines a dispensation outlet. The base portion and the tip portion cooperate to define a passageway that extends between the inlet and the dispensation outlet. The lid includes a main body that includes an upper wall and a sidewall that cooperate to define an interior. The hinge member is coupled with each of the spout and the sidewall of the main body. The hinge member is configured to facilitate pivoting of the lid between a closed position and an opened position.

  • Patent number: 9120608
    Abstract: The present disclosure, in one embodiment, relates to a packaging assembly for holding liquids, viscous material, or particulate material. The packaging assembly includes a carton having side and bottom walls. The packaging assembly also includes a self-supporting plastic liner that fits inside of the carton for containing liquids, viscous material, or particulate material. The liner has either a substantially circular or substantially oval cylindrical side wall, a closed bottom end characterized by a bottom wall formed integral with said side wall, and an open top end having an outwardly-projecting rim. The rim has a radially-extending flange portion, and a dependent skirt portion, wherein when the self-supporting plastic liner is inside of the carton, the radially extending flange portion supports the liner on at least a portion of the carton. A lidding material is provided to seal the plastic liner.
