20110089134METHOD OF COMPRESSION MOLDING A PLASTIC CLOSURE FROM FOAMED POLYMERIC MATERIAL - A method of compression molding a plastic article, such as a closure, includes providing a molten polymeric material, comprising a mixture of at least one molten polymer and a gas blended therein. The polymeric material is molded between cooperating male and female molds, with relative movement of the molds controlled to form a mold cavity with a predetermined volume. Formation in this manner acts to produce a molded closure with substantially reduced density, thus achieving desired material savings, while still providing a closure or like article exhibiting desired performance characteristics.04-21-2011

20110024423TAMPER-EVIDENT PACKAGE WITH IMPROVED OPENING PERFORMANCE - A tamper-evident package having pressurized contents includes a closure and associated container which cooperate to provide desired tamper-evidence upon initial removal of the closure from the container, while promoting convenient and comfortable removal and use by consumers. In particular, the package is configured such that from a fully applied position of the closure on the container, the closure is movable through a predetermined angle prior to actuation of the tamper-evident feature on the package. In this fashion, the torque which must be applied to the closure for overcoming the static friction at the sealing interface between the closure and the container can be overcome prior to the application of torque required for operating the tamper-evident feature of the package. The present invention contemplates enhancing the opening performance of the package by configuring the package to include certain structure features to facilitate convenient, consistent, and comfortable use by consumers.02-03-2011
