Definitions

  • This invention relates to a pour spout fitment, a package including a pour spout, and a method of inspecting the package for evidence of tampering.
  • the commonest tamper- evident devices incorporated in pour spout fitments are such that, after opening of the fitment and re-closing it, the fact that the bridges have been broken is difficult for a consumer to detect.
  • a pour spout fitment for attachment to an outside surface of a wall of a container and comprising a pour spout bounding a pouring mouth, a cover closing said pouring mouth, and a device in said pour spout whereby a hole can be formed through a zone of said wall to permit pouring of a flowable content of said container from said pour spout, a portion of said cover or of said spout being sufficiently transparent and so situated that a consumer can conclude without opening of said cover, but by inspection through said portion from outside said container, whether or not said hole has been formed.
  • a package comprising: -
  • a pour spout attached to a wall of said container and bounding a pouring mouth, a cover closing said pouring mouth, and a device in said pour spout whereby a hole can be formed through a zone of said wall to permit pouring of a flowable content of said container from said pour spout, a portion of said cover or of said spout being sufficiently transparent and so situated that a consumer can conclude, without opening said cover, but by inspection through said portion from outside said container, whether or not said hole has been formed.
  • a method comprising concluding whether a hole has been formed through a wall of a sealed package at a zone beneath a closure including a pour spout, by visual inspection through material of a portion of said closure .
  • the invention is applicable to, in particular, a pour spout with a screw cap in which turning of the screw cap causes piercing of the container wall to form the through
  • the whole of the screw cap is advantageously made of one-and-the same material which is itself is sufficiently transparent.
  • the invention is also applicable to a pour spout with a hatch-type cover, particularly with a hingedly mounted hatch cover, in which case the whole of the hatch cover is advantageously made of the sufficiently transparent material.
  • the sufficiently transparent material may be high density polyethylene, although polypropylene is preferable because it can be more transparent than high density polyethylene following injection-moulding.
  • Figure 1 is an exploded view, partly in .axial section, of a screw-capped pour spout fitment
  • Figure 2 is a fragmentary view, partly in axial section, of the fitment welded or otherwise adhered to an external surface of a fragmentarily shown wall of a carton.
  • the pour spout fitment 2 consists of a flanged pour spout 4, a screw cap 6 and an annular, hole-piercing device 8.
  • the spout 4 has a pouring mouth 10 and has a flange 12 whereby it is attached to the outside surface of a wall 14 of a plastics-coated paperboard carton.
  • the spout 4 is formed externally with screw-threading 16 for co-operating in a conventional manner with internal screw-threading 18 of the cap 6.
  • the spout 4 is formed internally with screw- threading 20 for co-operating in a conventional manner with external screw-threading 22 of the piercing device 8 which is in the form of a turnable cutter with knives 24 for cutting through the wall 14 at a zone 26 covered by the fitment 2.
  • the cap 6 internally has pushers 28 which cooperate in a conventional manner with dogs (not shown) on the internal surface of the piercing device 8, such that, when the cap 6 is unscrewed, the co-operation between the screw-threading 20 and 22 causes the piercing device 8 to turn about the axis of the fitment 2 while its knives 24 penetrate through the wall 14.
  • the wall 14 may be of any desired structure pierceable by the device 8, for example, may, as shown, consist of an outermost, moisture barrier, plastics layer 30 on a paperboard layer 32 itself attached by an adhesive layer 34 to an oxygen barrier, plastics layer 36 covered by an innermost, moisture barrier, plastics layer 38.
  • the cap 6 is of relatively transparent plastics material, in particular polypropylene.
  • Another possibility is to have the zone to be cut and swung down of a striking colour and/or displaying a special symbol, so that, when the colour or symbol is no longer readily visible, the consumer can conclude that the carton has already been opened.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un emballage comprenant un carton et une cloison à bec verseur (2) constituée d'un bec verseur (4) fixé à une paroi (14) du carton et délimitant un goulot verseur (10), un bouchon à vis (6) fermant le goulot verseur (10), et un dispositif de découpe rotatif (8) dans le bec (4) servant à former un orifice à travers une zone (26) de la paroi (14) permettant de verser un contenu du carton à partir du bec verseur (4), le bouchon (6) étant suffisamment transparent pour permettre à un consommateur de voir, sans nécessité d'ouverture du bouchon (6) et par simple inspection à travers ledit bouchon (6) depuis l'extérieur, si l'orifice à été ou non formé.
