20150232237 | DISPENSER AND CLOSURE WITH HINGE ATTACHED TAMPER BAND - A closure and a dispenser assembly for a container are provided. The closure includes a tamper band that remains attached to the closure after the container is opened and the closure is removed. The tamper band includes a shaped internal surface and gaps to interact with the dispenser assembly. The dispenser assembly includes tabs to interact with the tamper band of the closure and an alignment rim to engage with the internal surface of the tamper band. | 08-20-2015 |
20150129533 | POUCH CLOSURE ASSEMBLY WITH TAMPER INDICATION - A container closure assembly includes a cap and a spout assembly. The cap includes an internal thread that is configured to engage with an external thread located on the spout assembly. The cap further includes an engagement prong assembly that is configured to engage with the cylindrical band located on the spout assembly. The cylindrical band is supported by a plurality of tabs such that the engagement prong assembly extends between the band and the external threads when the internal and external threads are engaged and the cap is rotated such that the interaction of the threads moves the cap toward the band, the engagement prong assembly engaging the band when the cap seals the open end of the hollow cylinder, and the engagement prong assembly breaks the tabs when the cap is rotated causing the cap to unseal the open end. | 05-14-2015 |
20150122769 | COMPOSITE CLOSURE - A composite closure which includes an end panel that is received in a circular plastic fitment having a central opening therein defined by an inwardly extending flange which overlies an outer periphery of the end panel and an integral skirt downwardly depending from the flange. The fitment includes a radially inwardly extending circumferential bead or bead segments which include a substantially non-deformable flat vertical surfaces that are substantially parallel to the axis of the closure and axially positioned to contact the radial outermost edge of the end panel when the closure is fully applied to a container. The bead or bead segments are configured to impart a predetermined radial force on the end panel which produces a perceptible resistance upon initial rotation of the fully applied closure and provides assurance to a person removing the closure from the container that it has been fully applied to the container. | 05-07-2015 |
20150121807 | FLUID INJECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCAVENGING OXYGEN IN A CONTAINER - A method and system for injecting fluid into a sealed container that contains a consumable product is provided. The container is filled with a consumable product and then sealed with a closure. A fluid is injected through the closure into the container cavity after filling and sealing. The fluid increases the internal pressure of the container and scavenges oxygen in the container. | 05-07-2015 |
20140263335 | INTERNAL, MULTI-SEAL PLASTIC CLOSURE - A closure that includes a top panel and a skirt extending downwardly from a peripheral edge of the top panel is provided. The closure includes a tamper band which extends downwardly from the skirt and a multi-seal, seal portion which is located inside of the closure above the threads where the top panel is joined to the skirt. The tamper band and seal portion are configured to improve the removability of the closure from a mold. | 09-18-2014 |
20140263155 | METAL CLOSURE AND SEAL COMBINATION FOR MAINTAINING THE SHAPE OF A PLASTIC CONTAINER NECK - A closure that includes a top panel and a skirt extending downwardly from a peripheral edge of the top panel is provided. The skirt terminates in a plurality of spaced thread engagement flanges for engaging the thread of the neck of a container. The closure includes a polymer-filled channel which connects the top panel to the skirt. When engaged with the threaded neck of a container, the neck is forced into the channel and engaged by the polymer so that the channel and polymer provide lateral rigidity to the neck. This rigidity prevents the neck from deflecting from the forces resulting between the threads and thread engagement lugs when the forces therebetween are increased to the level required to adequately seal the closure to the container. | 09-18-2014 |
20140260100 | FLUID INJECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING CONTAINER WALLS - A system and method for injecting pressurizing fluid into a filled and sealed container is provided. The container is filled with a product and is then sealed with a closure. A pressurizing fluid is injected through the closure into the container cavity after sealing and filling. | 09-18-2014 |
