Problems solved by technology

It is more often than not that the screw caps are relatively small, and the danger exists that such screw caps get lost or fall on the ground and become contaminated.
Since in many cases, these screw caps are then reattached to receptacles in which foodstuffs are accommodated, accordingly the danger exists that the contents are contaminated.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIG. 7 illustrates a first preferred embodiment of the present invention configured to a receptacle 1 having a pour spout 2 and a screw cap 3 that may be screwed thereon and is captively connected to the pour spout 5 via a safety tether 4 which here also serves as a securing strip, by way of a retaining ring 5.

[0020]The invention may be realized independently of the type and design of the receptacle 1. Thus the receptacle 1, as shown here, consists of a soft packaging of plastic film or of a combined plastic-cardboard laminate, or may also be realized as a glass bottle or plastic bottle. In any case however, the receptacle 1 is provided with a pour spout 2. This pour spout 2 may be also realized as part of the bottle neck with glass or plastic bottles.

[0021]With soft packages such as represented here in FIGS. 6 and 7, the pour spout is a separate component, consisting of a cylindrical tube section on which a peripheral flange 22 is integrally formed at the lower end. Here, the...

Abstract

A beverage spout and threaded cap are joined by a safety tether that further acts as a guarantee strip to establish the integrity of the contents prior to opening. The safety tether as it is wrapped around the pour spout is connected by a series of break-away tabs the cooperate to form the guarantee strip, whereupon when the cap is unscrewed off the tabs are ruptured to unfurl the safety tether. The break-away tabs can be selected to promote ordered extension of the safety tether as the cap is removed from the spout.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a receptacle with a pour spout and a screw cap of plastic, with a guarantee strip which is arranged at the lower edge of the peripheral lateral wall of the screw cap, which is held secured at least in the axial direction on the pour spout of a receptacle in a direct or indirect manner.[0002]Receptacles with a pour spout and a screw cap of plastic, which may be placed thereon, are known in many design forms. Thereby, the receptacles may be glass or plastic bottles, or soft packages of laminates or of plastic films. If the receptacles are glass or plastic bottles, then the bottle neck typically forms the pour spout. If the receptacle is a tube, then the tube opening of the tube head often forms the pour spout. In any case however, the pour spout comprises an outer thread, on which correspondingly a screw cap with an inner thread integrally formed on its lateral wall may be screwed.[0003]Nowadays, screw caps are usually ...
