A product packaging comprises a cap on a transparent bottle to seal in a protected product. The cap includes an RFID chip and antenna that can report a serial number and product identification code to a nearby scanner. Reports from several such scanners in the distribution chain from manufacturer to retailers are logged and used to validate legitimate products by their movements. The caps are designed such that when opened the RFID antenna will break away from its associated RFID chip. The cap is molded of cross-linked polymers with a memory that makes it impossible to reseat it properly to the bottle once removed. A hologram target is placed backwards under a label on the side of the bottle so a laser beam can be directed through the backside of the bottle, through the contents, and to the hologram. The reflected laser light will have a signature that is very sensitive to the exact chemistry of the contents. Adulterations and fake products substituted for the genuine articles inside the bottle are detectable using non-invasive hologram reflected laser light and analysis.

A tire-sealing apparatus for injecting a sealing composition into a vehicle tire either as a prophylactic or for sealing an existing leak is in the form of a pressurizeable container for a flowable sealant compound. An inlet is provided for introducing compressed gas into the container to pressurize its contents. An outlet line is also provided to deliver the sealant into a tire, the pressurized gas acting on contents of the container and providing the motive force for the delivery. A dip tube extends into the compound and is coupled to a one-way valve to provide a controlled flow of the compound from the container into the tire while preventing back pressure of the tire from either delivering air or compound back into the container. A passageway between the outlet tube and an interior of the container is provided to allow a flow of compressed gas within the container into the outlet tube along with the sealant.

A fuel cap is set on a tank opening and includes a casing main body, a cover, and a torque mechanism. The torque mechanism includes a cover engagement projection disposed on the cover, a torque plate having a plate engagement element, and a spring. When the cover is rotated in a closing direction of the tank opening, the cover engagement projection is released from the plate engagement element under a certain rotational torque to provide the user with the feeling of a click. When the cover is rotated in an opening direction of the tank opening, on the other hand, the cover engagement projection is released from the plate engagement element under a smaller rotational torque. This arrangement enables the spring to accumulate the pressing force and release the accumulated pressing force. The release of the accumulated pressing force causes the positional relationship between the cover and the casing main body to an initial state.

The cap (1) comprises a head and skirt and is characterised in that it comprises two assembled parts:

• • a) an inner part (3) comprising a so-called inner head (30) and a so-called inner skirt (31), typically with a rotation axis (12), carrying out the so-called technical functions of said cap,
  • b) an outer part (4) carrying out all or part of the decorative function of said cap (1), so as to be able to modify the appearance of said cap (1) at will without having to modify said technical functions.

The present invention relates to a closure system including a thermochromic tamper-control means of color that is irreversibly modified in the event of the temperature of the closure system being raised above a threshold temperature, said closure system comprising a polymer matrix having incorporated therein at least one thermochromic pigment of color that is irreversibly modified after said closure system has been exposed to a temperature close to or above a threshold temperature. The invention also relates to a method of preparing a thermochromic closure system, and to receptacles provided with said system.

The present invention provides for method and system in which a heat-shrinkable plastic cover is placed over an individual conventional medicine container. The cover is heat shrunk around the container to form a tight-fitting seal which covers the majority of the original medication container. The seal must be opened in order to gain entry into an individual medication container just prior to the use or the administration of the product in the container. The seal includes an easy-open mechanism, such as a pull-tab or perforated tear strip. The purpose of the seal is to distinguish high-alert medications and requires an additional safety step in the medication administration process by requiring the removal of an additional cover which entirely encloses the container. The non-adhesive nature of the seal is significant in that the removal of the seal does not damage the original product labeling or leave unwanted residue on the medication container. The seal includes an integrated warning statement directed to point-of-use, high-alert medication preparations for the person preparing the medication for use. The level of repackaging would distinguish categories of high-alert medications, alerting users as to the classification of the medication. Application of the seal offers the user visual cues and “tactile awareness” different from the look and feel of the original container to distinguish high-alert medications from other medications.
