Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0537920A2] An attachment for a mouthed container, particularly one moulded from fibrous pulp material, comprises, in a preferred embodiment, an outer element (5) for placement externally of the mouth (60) of the container, a deformable member (6), e.g. a rubber seal, for placement internally of the mouth (60) of the container, and a cam-lever device (10, 12, 30) for deforming the deformable member (6) into sealing and/or gripping relationship with the outer element (5), wherein the mouth (60) of the container is sealed and/or gripped between the deformed member (6) and the outer element (5). In other embodiments the cam lever device which acts as the clamping mechanism is replaced by various clip arrangements or cooperating screw threads, which perform a similar clamping action. The attachment preferably includes a pouring spout (20) for dispensing a product contained in the container and a cap (50) to act as a closure for the attachment/container combination. <IMAGE>
