Lid for containers

Lid for packaging

A spout includes a base frame fittable about a designated package pour opening surface area, an opening assembly moveably coupled to the base frame and adapted to at least partially cut/rupture/open/pierce the pour opening surface area, and a control device configured to control the opening assembly. The control device comprises at least one interaction element connected to the opening assembly, at least one control ring rotatably coupled to the base frame and at least one interaction member connected/coupled to the control ring and configured to interact with the interaction element. In use, upon rotating the control ring, the interaction member interacts with the interaction element to induce translation of a cutter of the opening assembly for controlling the opening assembly from a rest configuration to an operative configuration and an axial end portion of the interaction member is arranged within a rotation plane fixed relative to the base frame.

Spout for a package and package-spout assembly

An opening device configured to be applied to packaging for pourable products comprises: a pouring spout defining a pouring opening through which to pour, in use, the pourable product; a cap configured to engage and disengage the pouring spout to respectively close and open the pouring opening; a closing element closing and/or sealing the pouring opening, formed in one piece with the pouring spout and connected to the pouring spout by a breakable connecting portion configured to break during first opening of the opening device; the closing element comprising a protruding portion extending through the pouring opening and connected to the cap; and tamper-evidence device fitted to the pouring spout and initially connected to the cap by at least one breakable connecting bridge configured to break during first opening of the opening device; wherein the cap is hinged to the tamper-evidence device thereby being permanently tethered to the pouring spout.

Opening device for a packaging for pourable products

A molding apparatus that injection molds an opening device on a packaging material sheet includes first and second molding units to injection mold a wall portion of the opening device on the sheet; the first molding unit comprising first and second molding elements configured to cooperate in contact to delimit at least part of a mold cavity fillable with molten material for forming a pull-member of the opening device; the mold cavity being delimited at least by first and second surfaces defined by the first and second molding elements respectively; a third molding unit cooperable with the first and second molding elements to delimit the mold cavity, and defining a third surface, facing the first and second surfaces and delimiting, together with these latter, the mold cavity; the third surface is shaped to be equidistant from the first and second surfaces when the first and second molding elements cooperate.

Packaging sheet for foodstuff

An opening device for a container comprises a pouring spout defining a pouring opening to pour in use the content of the container, a closing element closing the pouring opening and connected to the pouring spout by a breakable connection, and a closure fitted to the pouring spout in a removable manner to close the pouring opening at a region thereof different from that closed by the closing element; the closing element is formed in one piece with a protruding portion extending through the pouring opening and welded to the closure far away from the closing element.

Opening device for a container and a method for producing such opening device

An opening system for a container comprising a packaging material having an outside and an inside. An injection molded opening element, wherein the injection molded opening element is attached to the inside of the packaging material at a first point, and extends from the inside of the packaging material and through to the outside of the packaging material. And, wherein the injection molded opening element is attached to the outside of the packaging material at a second point and extends a distance from the second point for opening the container.

Opening system for a container, a method of making the same and a container comprising the opening system

An opening device for a container includes a pouring spout defining a pouring opening to pour in use the content of the container, a closing element closing the pouring opening and connected to the pouring spout by breakable connector, and a closure fitted to the pouring spout in a removable manner to close the pouring opening at a region thereof different from that closed by the closing element; the closing element is formed in one piece with a protruding portion extending through the pouring opening and welded to the closure far away from the closing element.
