Cap () for closing a container comprising a neck delimiting an opening, said cap () extending along a central axis (A) and comprising:

Cap for closing a container comprising a neck delimiting an opening and method for manufacturing the same

The liquid filled bottle includes a plastic bottle () and a cover member (C) sealing an opening () of the bottle, the cover member (C) including: &#x2014;a closing portion () sealing the opening () of the bottle () in an annular area (), the closing portion having a circumference () defined by an outer edge of the annular area, the closing portion defining a first surface (S) that is substantially planar and delimited by the circumference; and &#x2014;a label portion () that defines a second surface (S), the label portion () and the closing portion () being parts of a single piece foil, for instance a flexible plastic foil. The second surface (S) is entirely offset relative to the annular area (), the ratio between the second surface (S) and the first surface (S) being at least 1:2, and preferably at least 1:1.

Liquid filled bottle having a cover member with a label forming extension

The plastic bottle () is filled with liquid and provided with a rigid neck () that defines a narrow opening () with an inner diameter (D) typically inferior to 40 mm. A flexible sheet-like cover member (C), having a lower closing element and an upper reinforcing element, is provided to seal the opening. A reinforcing portion () of the reinforcing element (C) is directly fastened to a central portion () of the closing element in contact with the annular upper face (F) of the neck and reinforces this central portion. A first surface (S) suitable for displaying label information is defined by the reinforcing portion. The outer rim () of the reinforcing element extends along or close to a rim () of the face (F). An optional pull tab () forming part of the closing element (C) and/or an extension portion forming part of the reinforcing element (C) may be provided.

Liquid filled bottle having a thin cover member provided with a flexible reinforcing element

A blow molded bottle (): a) which is self-collapsible during its emptying; b) which comprises at least two transversal grooves and/or ribs (), preferably located in the tubular body portion (), equipped with collapse starters (); c) wherein the mean wall thickness (Tmean) of the tubular body portion () is&#x2014;in an increasing order of preference&#x2014;less than or equal to 200; 180; 160; 150 &#x3bc;m; preferably comprised between 65 and 150; and more preferably comprised between 90 and 130 &#x3bc;m. The invention also discloses a method, a preform () and a mold for the manufacture of the aforementioned container by blow molding. The invention also discloses a method for bottling liquid into the bottles (), a method for dispensing the liquid, a dispenser for implementing the method and a method for packing the thin-walled bottles, in view of storage and transportation.

Self collapsible blow moulded plastic thin-walled containers and a dispensing method using same

The plastic bottle () is filled with liquid and provided with a neck () that defines a narrow opening () with an inner diameter typically inferior to 40 mm. A flexible sheet-like cover member (C), having a lower closing element (C) and an upper label element (C), is provided to seal the opening. A first portion () that defines a first surface of the label element is directly fastened to a central portion () of the closing element in contact with the upper face of the neck and reinforces this central portion. A second portion (L), which is entirely offset relative to the upper face of the neck, defines a second surface of the label element. The ratio between the second surface (S) and the first surface (S) is at least 1:2, and preferably at least 1:1. The second portion (L) extends above the shoulderof the bottle.
