A closure (10) is provided for a water bottle of the type used in conjunction with a water fountain. The closure (10) comprises a body (20) having an open feed cylinder (50) and a sealing cap (30) which is movable between a sealing position and an open position and is adapted to seal the feed cylinder when in a sealing position. The sealing cap is biased towards a sealing position by biasing means which preferably comprise a plastics spring (70) that anchors the sealing cap (30) to the body (20)...

A closure comprises a body with teeth on its internal surface, a pouring sleeve with a skirt and a liquid stream splitter with longitudinal ribs on its internal side surface, a male thread and fixing teeth that interact with the teeth of the body, windows in the walls of the skirt with transverse protrusions directed inside the pouring sleeve, a lock in the form of hollow cylinder with annular sealing lips on its external surface, said cylinder connected to a larger diameter hollow cylinder by m...

The combination of a closure (110) and an in-bore fitment (201) is provided for a container. The closure (110) comprises a generally plain crown (120) with a tubular skirt (130) depending from its periphery. The tubular skirt (130) has a first weakened zone (140) defining a first tamperevident portion (150); the first weakened zone (140) is adapted to break on first opening of the container. The tubular skirt (150) has a second weakened zone (190) defining a second tamperevident portion (150). T...

A closure (1) for a container is disclosed. The closure has a cap (11) which includes a top wall (13), a side wall (15), and a closure member (25) that can be moved into a closed position in which the closure member engages a reaction surface of the container. In this closed position the closure member resists release of the cap from the container and generates a downwardly-acting force which results in a seal being formed between the cap and a rim (71) of the container. The closure member is co...

This invention relates to a closure which serves hermetically to close - though being easily reopened - a bottle or similar container, which possesses a neck having a dispensing orifice, a neck frontal face surrounding said orifice and an orifice bead located below the latter and having a constriction on its underside, and which closure comprises a cap serving as the head of the closure, with an upper cap wall (or roof wall of the cap) and a cap side wall circumferential about the latter and pos...

A closure for a container having an opening, said closure comprising at least one resilient mass of fibers selected from synthetic fibers, natural fibers and mixtures thereof, said at least one resilient mass of fibers having a density in the range of 0.15 to 2.00 g/cm.sup.3 and having one of an interlocked structure, an associated structure and a combination thereof, and wherein the closure is sized and has a density to enable the closure to be sealingly inserted into the opening of said contai...

A stop valve assembly comprises two closure members one for stopping substantive gas or liquid flow and the other to prevent leakage along a spindle section 33. Each member possesses a closure element in the form of a rigid disc-like member (9 or 34) of accurately predetermined thickness lying in a recess (1 or 3) formed round the end opening of a duct or around the spindle section and having exactly the same depth as the thickness of the disc. Over the disc outer surface 11, and the end face ar...

An injection molded threaded cap for use with containers of varying dimensions. The cap of the present invention includes a cover from which depends an integral plug. An auxiliary sealing ring is disposed at the outside base of the plug to compensate for differences between the diameter of the plug and the diameter of the opening to be sealed by the cap. To prevent doming of the cover of the cap, the underside of the cover has shrinkage resistance formations which provide the cap with structural...

A closure for a container having an opening, comprising a resilient mass of interlocked and/or otherwise associated synthetic and/or natural fibres having a density of 0.18 to 2.00 g/cm.sup.3, wherein the closure is of suitable shape and density to enable the closure to be sealingly inserted into the opening of said container.
