A flex hinge closure with a drain-back channel includes a base portion having a dispensing aperture, a raised pour lip formed along a perimeter of the dispensing aperture, a raised rib forming a closed shape surrounding the raised pour lip, and a drain-back channel defined by a space between the raised pour lip and the raised rib. The drain-back channel collects excess material dispensed via the dispensing aperture and drains the excess material back to a receptacle. The closure further includes a cap portion hingedly connected to the base portion. The cap portion rotates relative to the base portion about the hinged connection between a closed position in which the cap portion covers the dispensing aperture and an open position in which the cap portion uncovers the dispensing aperture.

A container provides sealed storage for contents. The container includes a composite top member formed of a panel and a frame. The panel includes an opening for providing access to the contents of the package. The frame includes a closure member that is molded in an open position, and which can be moved to a closed position for closing the opening in the panel. The container is formed of a container body in the form of a tubular member formed to a desired shape. The container body is closed using the top member that closes a top opening of the container body, and a bottom member that closes a bottom opening of the container body.

A storage means provides sealed storage for contents. A closure means is fused to a container by application of an electro-magnetic field providing a permanent and hermetic seal between the closure and the container. The closure further includes a removable panel to provide access to the contents of the container.

The invention features a method of selling dosage forms without a prescription. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the dosage forms are sold in a container displayed on a retail shelf without outer secondary packaging. The container preferably is made of a material through which the dosage forms are visible. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the container has at least one substantially flat side wall and is laid on a retail display shelf on its substantially flat side wall. The container may be formed to have only one plane of symmetry. At least one of the side walls of the container may be formed to facilitate gripping of the container.

The invention features a child resistant, moveable closure member and container device and an overcap and container device. The overcap has opposed end walls and opposed sidewalls, with at least one leading locking pin and at least one trailing locking pin in at least one of said sidewalls. The inner closure may have at least one guiding bar, which extends downwardly from its lower surface, that is compatible in shape with an opening slot that may be in at least one of the sidewalls along the upper body of the container. The container further has a fixed cover portion facing the inner closure with a dispensing opening therethrough. At least one of the container sidewalls may have a closing notch, a stopping notch distal to the closing notch, and an opening notch therebetween. When the moveable closure is in the operative closure position, at least one of the leading locking pins is removably engaged in one of the closing notches and at least one of the trailing locking pins is removably engaged in at least one of the open notches, and the at least one guiding bar lies in the opening slot of the container. As the moveable closure is moved to its operative open position, the guiding bar engages and slidably travels along the opening slot. When the moveable closure is in its operative open position, at least one of the leading locking pins is removably engaged in one of the open notches and at least one of the trailing locking pins is removably engaged in one of the stopping notches.

Container with cap

A method of forming a two-piece assembly, such as a container closure assembly, in which a spout member is movable on a chimney section defined by a chimney member, which is adapted to be engaged with the neck of a container for dispensing the container contents. The spout member is formed in a first mold cavity, and includes a side wall and an end wall with an opening. The first cavity is defined by first and second mold sections, and the second mold section is removed after the spout member is formed. The second mold section is then replaced by a third mold section, which cooperates with the first mold section and the spout member to form a second cavity having a shape corresponding to the chimney member. The second mold section and the side wall and end wall of the spout member cooperate to form the chimney member with a side wall and end wall which overlie the spout member side wall and end wall, respectively. The chimney member is formed with an opening, and the spout member is movable relative to the chimney member between open and closed positions. The spout member and the opening and the chimney member opening communicate when the spout member is in its open position, to enable dispensing of the container contents. The spout member and the chimney member are formed with a stop arrangement, which functions to limit movement of the spout member relative to the chimney member.
