The first portion comprises locking means for irreversibly locking the closure in the second position upon a first opening so that the gap cannot be closed. The inner part includes a line of weakness which breaks if the outer part is reverse rotated relative to the inner part. | 07-03-2014 |
20140209606 | DISPENSING PORT - A sealed dispensing port in a wall of a container or package, the wall including an outer sheet having a formed aperture there through, and an inner comprising a seal portion registered with the aperture, and a release cover that includes a seal portion over the aperture that irreleasably attaches through the aperture to the seal portion of the inner sheet to form a seal. When the release cover is pulled from over the aperture, the seal is removed to form a dispensing port. | 07-31-2014 |
20140263326 | CLOSURE FOR CONTAINER - A closure is provided for use in covering a discharge opening in a container and engaging a peripheral rim defining the opening. The closure lid includes a body for covering the container opening and a plurality of projecting portions that extend from a periphery of the body. The projecting portions are spaced from one another, with each formed to surround a portion of the container rim. A ring is connected to the projecting portions and surrounds the container rim. A plurality of retaining fingers are provided, with each finger spaced from one another and interleaved within the spacing between adjacent projecting portions. The fingers project inwardly from the ring and engage the bead on the container rim. The engagement of the fingers with the container rim is visible through the spacing between the projecting portions. | 09-18-2014 |
20140361013 | TEAR-OPEN BAG AND THREE-LAYER COEXTRUSION FILM FOR MAKING THE BAG - A tear-open packaging is formed by a pair of plastic film panels having inner faces joined together by a weld. One of the film panels is formed by a two- or three-layer coextrusion having a nonsticky foam core layer and a weldable inner layer that is secured by the weld directly to the inner face of the other film panel. The strength of the core layer and of the bond between the core layer and inner and outer layers are such that, when the two panels are pulled away from each other, the core layer or an interface between the core layer and the weldable inner layer will tear along the weld. If the weld does not extend directly to an edge of the film tear-open packaging, the weldable layer breaks on both sides of the weld. | 12-11-2014 |
20150014317 | CONTAINER HAVING A PEELABLE SEALING MEMBRANE, WHICH IS TO RECEIVE A POWDER MATERIAL AND HAVE EXCESS INTERNAL PRESSURE - A container for a powder material includes an inner portion in the form of a flange ( | 01-15-2015 |
20150108130 | Canister With Dispensing Aperture - A canister with a novel dispensing aperture is described. The aperture is located within a continuous surface opposite the seamed canister end. By thus locating the aperture, canister contents may be dispensed or sipped without the interference of debris-collecting grooves, seam edges, and sharp angles typical of canisters with dispensing apertures located on seamed ends. | 04-23-2015 |
20150129594 | Package - Food packages comprising a tray with a cover sealed about a surrounding flange of the tray are provided, where the flange is non-planar. The flange can have a planar leading edge and a planar trailing edge that lie in planes angled relative to each other. Side edges of the flange extending between the leading and trailing edges can include non-planar segments in addition to planar segments. A recloseable feature can also be provided with the cover. | 05-14-2015 |
20160096663 | NOVEL TAMPER EVIDENT CONTAINERS - The present invention is directed to containers and packaging that incorporate novel tamper evident features. In particular, the containers of the present invention comprise newly designed tamper evident linkages, i.e., wedged fracture tabs. In addition, the present invention provides novel methods of improving tamper security of packages or containers by incorporating distinguishing printed graphics on the tamper evident component (e.g., frangible hinge, frangible tear strip, or wedged fracture tabs) of the present invention. | 04-07-2016 |
