Patent number: 7665637Abstract: A closure (5) suitable for mounting onto a container (80). A closure comprises a main closure (10) having a top portion (11) that has an aperture (32) therethrough and a skirt (12) depending downwardly from the top portion (11) that is attachable to the container. A sealing rib (16) extends inwardly from the inner surface of the main closure (10) and is adapted to form a seal with the end portion of the container (80). A spout (33) extends upwardly from the top portion (11) and defines a bore that is in fluid communication with the aperture (32) in the top portion (11). A plug (36) having radially outer surface is mounted to the spout (33). The closure further comprises a top cap (50) that is mountable to the spout and is relatively movable between a first position where the plug (36) seals an opening in the top cap (5) and at least a second position where the plug (36) is withdrawn from the opening.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2003Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Rexam Closures and Packaging Services (UK) LimitedInventor: David Edward Foster

Patent number: 7648051Abstract: The dispensing closure is provided having a stopping mechanism that limits the rotation of the closure and generally prevents removal of the closure from the container. The dispensing closure includes a cap body, fitment, and container finish. The cap body has a double shell design, which includes at least one drop lug reverse tapered from the inner shell. When the cap body is rotated about the container finish, the reverse tapered drop lug engages at least one lug stop located on the container finish so as to limit the rotation, thereby preventing removal of the cap body from the container finish. The reverse taper of the drop lug maximizes the abutment surface and stability of the drop lug when engaging the corresponding lug stop.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2006Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Rexam Closures and Containers Inc.Inventors: Gary V. Montgomery, Christopher B. Clodfelter, William D. Sprick

Patent number: 7641065Abstract: A canteen is composed of a main body, a cover, a control unit, a valve and an annular blocker. The cover is engaged with the main body, having a jointing tube protruding into the main body and two notches cut in the jointing tube. The control unit is fixed on the cover, having a jointing portion, two grooves formed in the jointing portion and reversely shaped to correspond to the notches of the cover, and a sucker bored with an outlet. The valve is installed in the control unit, having a bar to correspond to the outlet, and a guiding rod transversely extended out from its bottom to extend through the grooves and the notches of the cover. When rotating the control unit, the valve is moved up and down to be separated from or to clog the outlet, convenient for using and preventing the suction portion from contaminated.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2008Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Inventor: Ching Yueh Wang Wu

Publication number: 20090194567Abstract: A press-out device for plastic substances comprises a cartridge (10) including a cylindrical container (11) in which a piston (35) can be displaced for pressing a substance, e.g. a sealing substance or adhesive substance, out of a discharge connector (14). The cartridge (10) is provided with an application nozzle (25) for use in extension of the discharge connector (14). The application nozzle (25) belongs to a reclosable closure assembly. The application nozzle (25) further comprises a hood (27) being movable relative to a nozzle body (26) and having a closure orifice. The closure orifice is followed by a discharge channel (51) delimited by straight side walls. The invention makes it possible to open the cartridge (10) without the need for a tool and to adjust and close the application nozzle (25) without the need for a tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2009Publication date: August 6, 2009Applicant: Fischbach KG Kunststoff-TechnikInventor: Achim Helmenstein

Patent number: 7516874Abstract: A one-way valve device comprises a valve seat arranged in the neck of a container that extends transversely across the interior of the neck and defines a plurality of passage openings. A pin-like projection is formed on the valve seat and extends axially to the exit opening. An elastic seal is held on the valve seat and comprises a sleeve-like section which surrounds the projection of the valve seat with the exception of its end section which rests on the end section of the projection. Applying pressure to the contents of the container axially displaces the sleeve-like part of the seal relative to the pin-like projection, so that the contents of the container can exit. In the closed position, an annular projection of an outer cap firmly presses the sleeve-like section of the seal against the projection of the valve seat, so that no container contents can exit.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2004Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: Gaplast GmbHInventor: Roland Kneer

Patent number: 7490742Abstract: A perfume spray head structure generally comprises a main body, a spray nozzle, a gas guide device, and a gas supply tube, wherein the spray nozzle, the gas guide device, and the gas supply tube are pre-assembled together and then coupled with the main body. By the use of the pre-assembled structure, the assembly process can be performed conveniently and the occurrence of displacement can be avoided. In addition, the spray head has gaps formed thereon for passage of gas and perfume liquid. The perfume liquid is sprayed out via the gaps so as to form uniform perfume mists. The perfume spray head structure of the present invention can avoid the occurrence of non-uniform spray mists, which is caused by the displacement of the spray channel.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2006Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Ing Wen Precision Ent. Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yuan-Wen Yu
