  • Patent number: 9688448
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a cap (10) for receptacles (20) such as e.g. glass jars, comprising a cap base body (11) with a fixing means (13) for enabling the cap (10) to be removably attached on the receptacles (20), a backing layer (2) made from a deformable material, and a sealable, preferably heat-sealable membrane (3) not being glued to the backing layer (2), wherein both the backing layer (2) and the membrane (3) are retained inside the cap (10) via a retention portion (18) extending from an inner side wall (14) of the cap (10). The invention is further directed to a receptacle (20) having said cap (10) for closing it, and is also directed to a method for providing the cap (10) with a sealing element (1) and for providing said cap (10) onto the receptacle (20).

  • Publication number: 20040175455
    Abstract: A plastic injection molding station having a mold assembly with a plurality of first mold sections and a plurality of second mold sections. Each of the first mold portions adapted to cooperate with one of the second mold portions so as to define a plurality of mold cavities, the mold cavities being of equal distance across the length of the mold assembly and further defining a shape of an article to be injection molded therein. The first mold portions and second mold portions are adapted for relative movement between an engaged position where the first and second mold portions define the mold cavities and a disengaged position where the first and second mold portions are separated from one another. The station also includes a locking assembly adapted to lock the first and second mold portions together in the engaged position.
