Abstract: Opposite sides of a closable passage body formed from a soft sheet are interposed between a support body bent at a predetermined curvature and an elastic material capable of closely contacting with the support body. The passage body is closed in a normal state but the elastic material deforms to open the passage body when a rod-shaped body is inserted into the passage body between the support body and the elastic material. The elastic material is caused by its restoring force to come into close contact with the support body to close the passage body when the rod-shaped body is pulled out. With a closing mechanism of the invention for an opening of a container, it is possible to subject the closing mechanism to waste disposal such as incineration together with the container after use, and to store the container for several separate eatings and drinkings, because the opening is automatically closed after use so that there is no possibility of spilling while grasping and carrying the container.

Abstract: Blow molding processes developed for producing plastic containers having an integral collapsible spout with self-latching bellow characteristics whereby, the centerline of integral collapsible spout (10) can be located either off centerline (34) or is centrally positioned (38) with containment body (32). In producing containers with integral collapsible spout (10) off centerline (34), the blow molding methodolgy requires parison flashing (12) to encapsulate integral collapsible spout (10) on both sides, along mold parting line (24), thereby, maintaining symmetry of the thickened cross-sectional wall portion, created by parison flashing (12). This technique improves the functionality of integral collapsible spout (10) and also allows it to maintain stability when collapsed to fully retracted position (14). Captive parison (36) is an alternate method that can be utilized when integral collapsible spout (10) is located in central position (38) of containment body (32).
