When either structure is tampered, it could be easily distinguished, which ensures the integrity, safety, and qualities of the food inside the container. With these features plus its sealing effect, the present invention has dual function of tamper-proofing and easy-opening. | 10-29-2015 |

20160000246 | INTERMEDIATE ELEMENT FOR RECLOSING CAN - An intermediate element for a metal beverage can, for carbonated drinks, where the intermediate element has a shut-off valve and is to be attached to the can end of the can shielding the can end from the interior of the can. | 01-07-2016 |
20160023815 | Tamper-Evident Containers - A tamper-evident container formed by thermoforming includes a tub having a bottom and a sidewall forming an interior volume. The container has a lid with an edge extending peripherally outward therefrom which is configured to mate with the tub edge to close the container. The lid edge has an inner portion and an outer portion with a perforated section therebetween. The perforated section extends continuously around the entire periphery of the lid, whereby the outer portion forms a tamper-evident seal removable from the inner portion for removing the lid from the tub. | 01-28-2016 |
20160052666 | METHOD AND APPARATUS THAT FACILITATES CREATING MULTIPLE OPENINGS ON A CAN TOP VIA A COMMON DEVICE - Aspects for creating multiple openings on a can top via a common device are disclosed. In an aspect, a can top is provided, which includes a device coupled to a surface and configured to create openings on the surface at multiple locations. In another aspect, a method includes forming a surface and attaching a device to the surface, which is configured to create a plurality of openings at different locations. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable instructions is also disclosed. The instructions include instructions for providing access to designs that implement a device configured to create openings in a can top at multiple locations. Instructions are also provided to facilitate receiving a selection corresponding to a desired design which identifies a desired opening mechanism, as well as instructions for outputting data corresponding to an implementation of the desired design having the desired opening mechanism. | 02-25-2016 |
20160068310 | Cap For Container Provided With Guarantee Seal - The object of the present invention is a cap provided with a guarantee seal. The guarantee seal consists of guarantee portions comprising an engagement portion and a connecting portion. The seal further comprises bridges for connecting adjacent guarantee portions to one another and a safety portion that makes the engagement portion integral with the handling portion. The safety portion is structurally suitable for keeping the engagement portion constrained in the broken seal configuration, for preventing the forming of dangerous spikes. | 03-10-2016 |
20160101892 | CONTAINER OR PLATTER ASSEMBLY HAVING LOCKING AND RELEASE FEATURES - A polygonal lid and container base provide secure and reliable engagement therebetween, while also facilitating removal of the lid without disturbing contents and without applying undue stress to the lid. The lid includes at least one graspable member near or at a designated “release” vertex that facilitates disengagement of the lid from the container base at the release vertex. The lid further includes regions of enhanced engagement that enhance the attachment of the lid to the container base at least along the two sides of the lid that adjoin the release vertex, causing the overall attachment to be less dependent on attachment at the release vertex. As a result, the strength of attachment at the release vertex can be made weaker than at the other vertices, for easy release of the release vertex, without undue weakening of the overall attachment of the lid to the container base. | 04-14-2016 |
20160137341 | DECORATED BEVERAGE CAN TABS - A decorated tab for a beverage container has a lift end, a nose end, and central webbing. An enclosed portion of the central webbing has a coating. A symbol is located on the enclosed region which is created by selective removal of the coating by a laser ablation. The symbol has a boundary profile defining a perimeter of the symbol generated by a continuous, uninterrupted vectorized laser dot pattern defining regions of ablated coating. The symbol has an interior portion generated by a plurality of pulsed rasterized laser dots defining further regions of ablated coating. | 05-19-2016 |
20160137376 | Container - The container comprises a chamber closed by a flexible cover, and it is characterized in that said flexible cover defines a weakened area forming a seal between the chamber and the flexible cover, and in that the container comprises bending means for bending this weakened area so that the flexible cover separates from the chamber at the weakened area, opening said chamber. | 05-19-2016 |
