2. Description of the Prior Art A prior art fitting and cap of the prior art is shown in FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings and described in the preferred embodiment of this specification. Generally, the pre-attachment component comprises a spout having external threads closed by a cap with internal threads.
Some attachments are used with plastic bags and the attachments are integrally welded to the plastic bag. Other prior art fittings are gable-topped and attach to polymeric paper containers such as half gallon containers. Prior art fittings for paper cartons typically have thin flanges welded to the surface of the container. The closure component has a sealing membrane that seals the spout mouth and a liner for the cap that serves the function of resealing. The spout flange is welded to the polymer coating and attached to the polymer coated cardboard.
When first removed, remove the prank seal film and discard.

Prior art fittings have many drawbacks compared to the present invention. First, prior art fittings employ a number of elements that are much more expensive to assemble than the unitary construction of the present invention. Second, the assembly has rotating parts that are cumbersome, difficult to control in operation, and expensive to install. Third, the prior art spouts are externally threaded and there is only limited space in the panel of the container in which the flange is located, so the diameter of the spout opening is limited, thereby providing mounting Reduce the diameter of the part and the corresponding spout diameter. Finally, the commercially available mounting-closure assembly does not have the external tamper evidence feature (as opposed to the inner foil seal of the spout opening).

[0004]

One embodiment of the present invention uses a female threaded fitting which is welded or glued to a mounting container panel such as a flange or other device. Have. The closing parts are
A male threaded plug closure that seals against the membrane of the fitting, which also protects the exposed edges of the holes formed in the container panel. The tamper evident band of the closure component may be connected to the closure component by a plurality of weak bridges, or the component may first be joined by another weak device. Assembling the mounting parts and the cap is done by directly extruding in the axial direction,
The screws slide on each other during axial movement. The lower edge of the tamper evidence band has an engagement device that fits into the complementary engagement device of the spout. As long as the bridge connecting the band and the cap is intact and intact, mutual engagement of these devices prevents rotation of the cap. Thus,
After axial assembly, the threaded plug cannot be removed prior to removing the tamper evident band.

As an additional feature, the plug and spout can be molded simultaneously in a single cavity on an injection molding machine. Further, when the component is removed from the cavity, the threaded plug may be moved axially so that the plug fits inside the spout and the threads of the spout and plug interengage. In another embodiment,
The parts can be fitted together by a friction fit between the outside of the plug and the inside of the spout.

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, materials such as polyolefins having a relatively high degree of flexibility and toughness are most suitable for practicing the present invention.
