International Classification:

B65D 41/04

US Classification:

215329000, 215336000, 215044000

Abstract:

There is a dispensing container. The dispensing container has a head, a body, and a closure. The head has a neck and a shoulder. The neck also has a bore extending longitudinally therethrough. The neck defines one or more external threads. The head has an indentation extending therein and circumferentially therearound proximal to the junction of the neck and the shoulder. The indentation is bounded by a tapered surface tapering outward with respect to the neck towards a top surface of the shoulder. The body is connected to the shoulder. The body has a chamber therein adapted to retain a product. The bore is in communication with the chamber. The closure defines one or more internal threads therein. The one or more internal threads are intermated with the one or more external threads. The closure has a skirt having a leading edge. The indentation in the head receives the leading edge. The leading edge contacts the tapered surface. The closure is openable and reclosable with respect to the head. The head and the closure are adapted such that the leading edge returns to contact with the tapered surface upon reclosure by the closure.

US Classification:

222548000, 222565000, 222575000

Abstract:

There is a one-piece closure for a dispensing container. The closure has a base and a lid. The base is adapted to be attached to the dispensing container. The base has two or more orifices therein. The two or more orifices of the base each define a different shape. The base has one or more raised portions thereon. The lid is connected to the base via a detachable hinge. The lid has an orifice therein. The lid is rotatably attachable to the base when detached from the base. The orifice of the lid is coextensive and alignable with each of the two or more orifices of the base and the one or more raised portions of the base. The lid is in lockable position with the base when the orifice of the lid is in alignment with one of the raised portions of the base. The closure is in the form of a unitary, integral piece. There is another embodiment for a one-piece closure for a dispensing container.

B67D 5/56

US Classification:

222 94, 222129

Abstract:

There is a dual-dispensing tube container. The container has an inner tube, an outer tube and a reclosable sealing member. The inner tube has an inner sleeve and an inner head. The inner sleeve defines an inner chamber therein adapted to retain a first component composition. The inner head defines an inner neck. The inner neck is in communication with the inner chamber. The outer tube has an outer sleeve and an outer head. The outer sleeve defines an outer chamber therein adapted to retain a second component composition. The outer head defines an outer neck. The outer neck is in communication with the outer chamber. The inner tube is situated and locked within the outer tube. The inner neck is situated at least partially within the outer neck. The tube container is adapted to simultaneously dispense the first and second component compositions upon squeezing of the tube container. The reclosable sealing member simultaneous plugs the flow of the first and second component compositions from the inner and outer tubes. The sealing member has a first plug and a second plug. The second plug has an inner periphery. The first plug is situated within the inner periphery of the second plug. The tube container defines a first orifice therein and a first bore therethrough communicating between the first orifice and the inner chamber. The tube container defines a second orifice therein and a second bore therein communicating between the second orifice and the outer chamber. The first plug is adapted for insertion into and substantial plugging of the first orifice and/or the first bore, and the second plug is adapted for insertion into and plugging of the second orifice and/or the second bore.

Assignee:

Pechiney Plastic Packaging, Inc. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B65D 3522
B67B 500
B67D 560

US Classification:

222 94

Abstract:

A dual dispense container is comprised of an inner container and an outer container, the outer container neck base having a groove, a latch and an undersurface, and the inner container neck having a bead engaged in the groove, and ribs below the bead which abut the undersurface and cause the latch of the outer container to lock the bead in the groove and thereby lock the inner container within the outer container. A method of locking an inner container within an outer container of a dual dispense container comprises abutting ribs of the inner container against the undersurface of a latch at the base of the neck of the outer container, to latch and lock a bead of the inner container neck in a groove in the base of the outer container neck.
