A container having an externally threaded pour spout on which an internally threaded cap is screwed. A tamper-proof, removable, membrane-like or diaphragm-like closure for the spout is secured to the circumferential lip of the spout with a peelable seal. The membrane-like closure has an elongated pull tab extending therefrom, by pulling on which the closure may be peeled off the end of the spout. The external threads on the spout are interrupted so as to provide a groove in which the pull tab resides out of engagement or interference with the external and internal threads on the spout and cap.
A closure for a container has two parts, namely an inner sealing member and an outer cap. The inner sealing member has a tab extending down between a bottle neck and a depending side wall of the cap. The tab is folded around the cap wall to form an upwardly extending portion. A patch of adhesive secures this tab portion to the cap. This prevents unauthorized removal of the cap and provides visible and external evidence of any tampering.
An oil container includes a container structure having a spout mounted to a top wall of the container, with the spout tangentially aligned to a forward wall, a groove directed into the spout, with a pull string directed through the groove, the string including a first end secured to a slot slidably mounted to a second end wall of the container, with a second end of the pull string mounted to a foil seal over the spout. In this manner, displacement of the slide along the second end wall of the container displaces the foil seal permitting fluid flow from the container when in an inverted orientation preventing spillage from the container.
An improved container for dispensing fluids wherein the container is provided with a conventional pouring spout along with a protective peel seal for retaining the contents of the container intact. An elongated pulling device is secured at one end to the seal and is adapted for applying force from a remote position to removably peel the seal from the container, therey disgorging the contents while the container is in an inverted position.
A pull-top closure for a container and a method of using the container incorporating the closure. The container is of the type commonly used for motor oil. It includes a main body having a top wall, a spout projecting upwardly from the top wall adjacent to one side of the body and terminating in a mouth. The top wall slopes from the spout to an upper corner on the opposite side of the body from the spout. The closure includes a seal releasably sealed to the mouth of the spout, a stem connected to the seal on the opposite side thereof from the upper corner and doubled back over the seal so as to extend toward the upper corner, and a ring connected to the stem so that the ring can be extended over the top wall between the spout and the upper corner. With the seal on the mouth of the spout, the container can be grasped around the upper corner between the thumb and middle finger of one hand so that the forefinger can extend over the top wall and be inserted into the ring thereby to hook the ring, and then the container inverted. The spout can then be inserted into the filler opening of an engine or other receptacle and the seal pulled off with the forefinger hooking the ring. This entire procedure can be accomplished with one hand of the user.
The present invention is for a method and cam for folding a tab for removing a seal that has been affixed to a collapsible tube in accordance with the method shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,938,818. A laminate removal tab is cut integral with the seal when the seal is cut, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,209,795 and then, in accordance with the present invention, bent back over the neck after the seal is welded to the tube mouth, by means of a cam. The tab is easily lifted and grasped by the fingers to pull the seal off the mouth.
