Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A container closure comprising pouring means on a container, said pouring means including a pouring nozzle, a cap engaging edge, and a lifting surface, said lifting surface extending obliquely inwardly and upwardly, and a closure cap for cooperation with said pouring means, said closure cap including an outer elastically deformable cap jacket having a lower edge comprising a support rim for cooperation with said lifting surface, said closure cap further including a snap-in device for copperation with said cap engaging edge on said pouring means, said closure cap having a portion thereof engaging portions of said pouring means in sealing engagement therewith, said deformable cap jacket upon deformation causing said support rim to engage said lifting surface thereby causing said closure cap to move upwardly as the deformable cap jacket is moved inwardly so as to disengage said snap-in device from said cap engaging edge on said pouring means to release said closure cap.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A container closure comprising pouring means on a container, said pouring means including a pouring nozzle, a cap engaging edge, and a lifting surface, said lifting surface extending obliquely inwardly and upwardly, and a closure cap for cooperation with said pouring means, said closure cap including an outer elastically deformable cap jacket having a lower edge comprising a support rim for cooperation with said lifting surface, said closure cap further including a snap-in device for copperation with said cap engaging edge on said pouring means, said closure cap having a portion thereof engaging portions of said pouring means in sealing engagement therewith, said deformable cap jacket upon deformation causing said support rim to engage said lifting surface thereby causing said closure cap to move upwardly as the deformable cap jacket is moved inwardly so as to disengage said snap-in device from said cap engaging edge on said pouring means to release said closure cap.
