Debbie There are several different types of closures used on bottles. Some are general, while others are specific to a particular bottle type. Externally threaded caps are a very good bottle-dating feature.
Push/Pull Caps
There are several types of closures for bottles, and one of them is the push-pull cap, a common type of bottle closure. They feature two cap units that are linked by an elastic hinge connector. This design allows the upper cap unit to lift upward, dispense the product, and close easily. This is especially useful in liquid packaging products such as lotions, creams, and serums.
The conventional push-pull cap comprises an upper cap unit of 100 and a lower cap unit of 200. The upper cap unit 100 is shaped similarly to conventional caps and covers the lip contact part 230. A side wall of the lower cap unit 200 includes an inclined pressure lever guide rail 266-3. This rail moves in a direction corresponding to the direction of movement of the finger grip 110.
The push/pull cap of the present invention has a weakened area in its annular surface. Therefore, the pull tab is secured to this weak area. This allows the user to reposition the bottle cap on a water bottle. Moreover, the design makes it possible to form a push-pull resealable closure on the same bottle.
Orifice reducers
Orifice reducers for bottles are a great way to control the amount of liquid released from a bottle. These small pieces fit snugly in the neck of the bottle, limiting the amount of liquid that can be dispensed at a given time. These products are especially useful when you are selling thinner liquid products.
Many different types of orifice reducers are available for different types of bottles. Some have a small hole for air to flow into the bottle, and others do not have this hole at all. Because of the opening size, you can never be sure exactly how much oil is released at a time.
Fine mist sprayers
If you’re considering using a fine mist sprayer with a specific product, you’ll want to know which type of closure will work best with your bottle. Again, you’ll have several options, from glass droppers to plastic cap-tops.
Trigger sprayers come with a nozzle that emits a fine mist. Lotion pumps come with a large pump engine; their output is higher than a fine mist sprayer’s. This means they’re best for products requiring a higher volume than water-based or gel-based liquids.
Ratcheted closures
Ratcheted bottle closures are a type of safety bottle closure that includes a rotatable cover and cap. The cover has inclined surfaces that cooperate to transmit torque to the cap, which screws onto the bottle. This method of closing bottles is more secure than other bottle closures and has a longer shelf life.
Ratcheted closures are also known as lug or twist closures. They differ from screw thread closures in that they have two threads on the neck. These threads are often continuous in design. As a result, ratcheted closures are non-removable. When viewed from above, a desiring adult can see both marks and names through the diaphragm closure.
Child-resistant closures
Child-resistant bottle closures can prevent the accidental spilling of potentially harmful materials. However, removing the child-resistant closure can be challenging for the user, particularly for people with physical limitations. In addition, the closures require exertion and manual deformation, making them unusable for many users. As a result, many children have been known to dislodge these closures.
Child-resistant bottle closures generally comprise an inner and outer cap member with an interlocking member. The inner cap member is cylindrical, provides means for securing the bottle, and serves as a seal to prevent air from entering the bottle. Child-resistant closures are also available with locking surfaces at their outer ends.
