Abstract

A fluid container closure system is proposed, comprising a fluid container which comprises a fluid outlet, a neck finish adjacent to the fluid outlet, wherein the neck finish includes a retaining rim arranged a distance apart from the fluid outlet, protruding in a radial outward direction encircling the neck finish in a circumferential direction. The fluid container closure system further comprises a screw cap (300) for sealing the fluid outlet, the screw cap comprising a base (301) including a top deck (302) and a skirt (303) extending downward therefrom. Further, the screw cap comprises a tamper evident band (320) comprising a base with a lateral inner surface (321). The screw cap further comprises a predetermined breaking structure (309) along which the skirt and the tamper evident band are interconnected. The tamper evident band comprises a lip (322) extending at least in part circumferentially along the inner lateral surface of the tamper evident band's base and projects inwardly therefrom, wherein the lip comprises a hinge section (324) and a retaining surface (325), and wherein the lip is configured in such a way that, when the screw cap is initially applied to the fluid container, the lip is folded upward about the hinge section such that the retaining surface in an applied position of the screw cap is positioned underneath the retaining rim.

Abstract

A closure for sealing a container for fluids, such as edible oil. The closure comprises a container section (1) for locating on a container, a substantially circular top portion (11) having an orifice sealed by a frangible panel (12), and a cylindrical skirt portion (13) that depends from the peripheral edge of the top portion (11) for engaging the container, e.g., the neck of a bottle. The closure also comprises a spout surrounding the orifice. The spout has a spout wall (14) extending upwardly from the top portion (11) to a distal end. At the distal end of the spout wall (14), a lip (141) is provided. The closure further comprises a substantially cylindrical channel wall (15) extending upwardly from the top portion (11) and positioned radially outwards of the spout wall (14) and radially inwards from the peripheral edge of the top portion (11). A fluid collection channel (16) is defined by an outer surface (142) of the spout wall (14), the top surface (111) of the top portion (11), and an inner surface (151) of the channel wall (15). The fluid collection channel (16) is arranged to collect any fluid that runs down the outer surface of the spout wall (14) of the spout, which is liable to occur during or after dispensing of fluid from the container, for example. The fluid collection channel (16) forms part of a drainage system, channelling fluid back to the container via a fluid flow path to the rear of the closure and then via the orifice in the top portion (11). The fluid flow path can be provided by an opening or 'gate' (17) in the spout wall (14).
