20100018974 | PACKAGE INTEGRITY INDICATING CLOSURE - A resealable closure for a container in which package integrity is indicated by a structure which connects the closure to a remaining portion of the container which must be broken in order to gain access to the contents of the container for a first time. The package integrity feature, in one form, includes a structure associated with the closure, wherein upon opening the closure for a first time, the structure stretches, increasing a length of the structure until the structure eventually breaks, leaving one or both residual ends of the broken structure rippled or curved upward from the remainder of the container. In one alternative form, the structure is associated with a pull tab of the sealing panel, which comprises the closure, whereby either the structure must be broken first, prior to pulling back the sealing panel, or while pulling back the sealing panel for a first time, the structure breaks, prior to gaining access to the contents therein. Advantageously, the package integrity feature is integrally formed with the closure and a remaining portion of the container. Integrity of the package is indicated by visually observing an intact breakable structure. | 01-28-2010 |
20100170898 | TAMPER-EVIDENT CLOSURE - A tamper evident closure for a container is provided. The closure comprises a first portion including inner and outer parts, and a second portion. The outer part is movable relative to the inner part from a first position in which at least part of the first and second portions are adjacent each other to a second position in which there is a gap therebetween. The closure comprises locking means for locking it in the second position upon first opening so that the gap cannot easily be closed. The closure further comprises indicator means for providing a visual indication if the locking means is overridden to close the gap. | 07-08-2010 |
20100193515 | CONTAINER AND A SEAL FOR A CONTAINER - A single serving container for consumable substances comprising a tubular element wherein opposing internal wall portions at an end of the tubular element are adhered together in order to maintain the tube in a closed configuration, and are adapted to be separated in order to operate the tube into an open configuration. | 08-05-2010 |
20110031246 | Tamper-Resistant Storage Container - The present invention is directed to a tamper-resistant storage container. The storage container includes a container and lid portion having formed channels and surfaces along their perimeters configured to interlock securely to each other to attach the lid to the container. The lid includes at least one open area spanned by a breakaway stringer defining an area of weakness along a perimeter of the lid such that removing or attempting to remove the lid from the container breaks the stringer to provide a visible indication that the container has been opened or tampered with. | 02-10-2011 |
20120091134 | TAMPER-EVIDENT CLOSURE AND PACKAGE - A tamper-indicating plastic closure, and tamper-evident package are disclosed, wherein the closure includes a pilfer band having a substantially continuous tamper-ring. The tamper-ring extends generally angularly upwardly and inwardly of the closure in a tamper-indicating orientation of the tamper-ring for engagement with a relatively enlarged annular locking ring of the associated container. Notably, the tamper-ring includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced, projections, which preferably comprise relatively thick regions or shoulders, which desirably act to limit lateral movement of the pilfer band with respect to the container by engagement of at least one shoulder with the associated container generally beneath the container locking ring. | 04-19-2012 |
20120187122 | REPOSITIONABLE LIDDING FILM- SEAL ACTIVATED - The present document describes a package for distributing and storing produce comprising: a container for holding produce, the container comprising a peripheral edge defining an opening into the container; a film for being positioned onto the peripheral edge of the container to close the opening; and an adhesive material for providing an airtight seal between the film and the peripheral edge upon being activated once the film has been positioned to cover the opening; and wherein upon being activated, the adhesive material populates both the peripheral edge and the film, the film thereby being repositionable onto the peripheral edge to reclose the opening of the container once the airtight seal has been broken upon initial opening of the package. | 07-26-2012 |
20130206762 | CONTAINER WITH TOP AND BOTTOM CHIMES - A container such as a beer keg includes a container body | 08-15-2013 |
20130256308 | CONTAINER - A container ( | 10-03-2013 |
20130341327 | CONTAINER WITH IMPROVED TAMPER EVIDENT STRUCTURE - A container comprises a basket having a basket lip and a lid with lid lip connected to a tear strip, the tear strip being bonded to the basket lip to form a seal. An applied force to the seal separates the tear strip from the lid so that the tear strip remains bonded to the basket lip and so that a lid tear surface is exposed. The basket lip includes a basket snap feature and the lid lip includes a lid snap feature. The basket snap feature and the lid snap feature are mateable to resist separation of the lid from the basket. | 12-26-2013 |
20140138380 | Closure - A closure for a container comprises tamper-evident means for indicating if the closure has been removed from the container. The tamper-evident means is provided within the interior of the closure. | 05-22-2014 |
20140312038 | CLOSURE WITH TAMPER-EVIDENT STRIP - A tamper-evident dispensing closure includes a body adapted to be attached to a container and a pivotable lid which is hingedly attached to the body. A tamper-evident strip is located within the contour of the body and attached to the body by means of predetermined frangible connecting points. The tamper-evident strip is engaged or engageable by at least one locking member provided on a skirt portion of the lid, such that the lid is only pivotable to the open position when the tamper-evident strip is permanently removed. The body and the pivotable lid in the closed position define a recess in which the tamper-evident strip is received in a countersunk manner. The recess has a height which essentially corresponds to the height of the tamper evident strip such that the edges of the tamper-evident strip are essentially unreachable. | 10-23-2014 |
20150034641 | LIFE JACKET CASE AND AIRCRAFT - The present invention provides a life jacket case which can achieve weight reduction as well as seal the inside. Provided is a life jacket case for housing a life jacket, wherein a cover of an opening, through which the life jacket is taken in and out, is made of a first material which is hard enough to keep the shape of the cover, and a region other than or larger than the region made of the first material is made of a second material which is more lightweight than the first material. It is preferable that the life jacket case is fitted with a security tag which indicates whether or not the cover has been opened. | 02-05-2015 |
