Patent number: 8196786Abstract: A dispensing closure for a container that includes closure walls, at least one dispensing aperture, at least one closing element that is movable between a position where the aperture is closed, and a position where the aperture is open. This closure includes at least one actionable member that surrounds the closure walls and the closing element, and at least one connection element located between the actionable member and the closing element. The connection element is made of a material that is sufficiently rigid below a predetermined safety temperature, to connect the actionable member and closing element, thus allowing opening of the dispensing aperture by moving the actionable member and fluid above temperature so that the actionable member and closing element are disconnected.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Christophe Jean-Marie Yves Charlier, Bruno Sadi Henri Delande, Jean-Francois Andre Aime Delaunay, Pierre Henri Lebrand

Patent number: 8042715Abstract: A dispensing closure for a container that includes closure walls, at least one dispensing aperture, at least one closing element that is movable between a position where the aperture is closed, and a position where the aperture is open. This closure includes at least one actionable member that surrounds the closure walls and the closing element, a spring element disposed between the closing element and the closure walls to force the closing element to close the aperture, a connection device that includes a flexible pouch containing a temperature dependent material, and a catch mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2007Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Christophe Jean-Marie Yves Charlier, Bruno Sadi Henri Delande, Jean-Francois Andre Aime Delaunay, Pierre Henri Lebrand

Patent number: 7926684Abstract: A pressurized container (1) for a viscous product, comprising a container body (2) with an opening (9), a piston (3), a dispensing closure (4) attached to the container body opening (9) which comprises closure walls, at least one dispensing aperture (13), at least one closing element (14) that is movable relative to the closure walls between a closed position and an open position, the container (1) further comprising a spring element (15) disposed between said closing element (14) and said closure walls, so as to naturally force the closing element (14) in a position where it closes said aperture (13), wherein the closure walls define a channel (16) with at least one lateral dispensing aperture (13) remote from the container body opening (9), said closing element (14) having the shape of a ring that seals around and is movable relative to the channel (16), by translation along, or by rotation around, an axis which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the channel (16).Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2006Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Christophe Jean-Marie Yves Charlier, Bruno Sadi Henri Delande, Jean-Francois Andre Alme Launay, Pierre Henri Lebrand
