Abstract: A mechanical closure for includes a cap hinged in an oscillating manner about an axis, a pair of tie-rods respectively articulated at their first end on opposite sides of the cap with respect to the axis and hinged at their opposite second end on a corresponding first end of a respective arm. Each arm is provided at its second opposite end with a respective pin the pins being coaxial and intended to hinge the arms on a neck of a bottle. An arc connects the arms to one another so that the arms may be jointly actuated to rotate about the respective pin. The mechanical closure includes a tamper indicator provided to indicate the first opening of the mechanical closure includes a band which interconnects the arms and/or the tie-rods on the side opposite the arc so as to prevent the arms from oscillating about the respective pins.

Abstract: There is disclosed a child resistant cap and container assemblage comprising a container and a cap member that is secured to the container so that it can not be removed without either breaking the cap member or damaging the seal that joins the cap member to the container. The cap member is provided with a nozzle having an internal locking means so that the contents of the container can not be accessed when the container is in its normal upright position. To access the contents in the container, the assemblage is titled to disengage the locking means enabling the nozzle to be opened and permitting a user to access the contents of the container using only one hand.

Abstract: There is disclosed a child resistant bottle closure assemblage comprising an outer cap member, an inner cap member and an interlocking member disposed between the inner and outer cap members. When secured to a bottle in its normal, upright position, the outer cap member can be rotated without engaging the interlocking member so that the assemblage can not be removed from the bottle. When the bottle is inverted so that the interlocking member engages the outer cap member, rotation of the outer cap member results in removal of the entire assemblage from the bottle.

Abstract: A child-proof screw-cap closure is described which can be screwed onto a bottle or the like container and comprises an inner cap, an outer cap, a coupling member and a sealing member, which inner cap possesses an inner chamber and a cavity, connected with one another by a passage and a channel with a window between the cavity and the chamber, and which outer cap possesses a projecting zone with at least one niche, which zone projects so far into the interior of the outer cap that, in the non-actuating position, it at least partially covers the window of the channel and prevents passage of the coupling member through the channel, whilst when the outer cap is rotated so that the niche faces the window, the coupling member can pass from the cavity into the window and project into the niche, as a result of which a positive engagement is made between the inner and outer cap and both caps can be unscrewed from the mouth of the container.

Abstract: A lever-actuated closure for bottles or the like containers is described which closure comprises a closing member sealingly mountable on an outlet orifice of the container, an actuating member having a manually operated gripper part and being hingedly mounted below the outlet orifice, and a connecting member hingedly attached to the actuating member and to the closing member at the outside thereof, which closure can be transferred, by means of the actuating member, from an open position, in which the closing member frees the outlet orifice, through elastic deformation of at least one of the parts of the closure via a dead-center position, in which the hinge axis of the actuating member and the two hinge axes of the connecting member are in a common plane, into a closed position, in which the closing member seals the outlet orifice, or vice versa from this closed position into the open position, the gripper part of the actuating member being, in the closed position, above the elastically deformed closing membe
