Packaging closure adapter

Abstract

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a device that can be used to seal an opening of a package to mitigate loss of package contents, and to effectively transfer contents of the package to a target device or system. The device can comprise a base cap that engages with a package opening, such as a fitment, and a nozzle portion. Alternately, the fitment may comprise a fixedly engaged base. The nozzle portion can comprise a portion that selectably engages with two or more target systems, such as through a filling port, and may also selectably engage with a closing cap that can be used to close the opening, by sealing a spout portion of the nozzle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for coupling with an opening of a packaging to facilitate transfer of contents from the packaging to a target system, comprising:
 a base cap comprising:
 a body portion configured to selectably engage with a package opening; and 
 a nozzle portion comprising:
 a first engagement portion; and 
 a second engagement portion configured to selectably engage with a filling port of a target device; and 
 
   a closing cap configured to selectably engage with the first engagement portion of the nozzle portion to provide a seal for the package opening when the base cap is engaged with the package opening and the closing cap is engaged with the first engagement portion.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , the first engagement portion comprising a first threaded portion, and the second engagement portion comprising a second threaded portion. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , the closing cap comprising a cap internal threaded portion configured to selectably, threadedly engage with the first threaded portion. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 2 , the second threaded portion configured to selectably, threadedly engage with threads of the filling port of the target device. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 2 , the closing cap comprising an internal non-threaded portion configured to receive the second threaded portion. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , the base cap comprising a base indicator ring configured to engage with elements of the package opening when the base cap is engaged with the package opening, and provide an indication of tampering when the base cap is at least partially removed from the package opening. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , the closing cap comprising a cap indicator ring, configured to engage with cap locks disposed on a nozzle shoulder on the nozzle portion, and to provide an indication of tampering when the closing cap is at least partially removed from the base cap. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , the closing cap comprising an internal nozzle engaging closure configured to mitigate leakage of fluid from the nozzle portion when the closing cap is engaged with the base cap. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , the base cap comprising an internal package opening receiver configured to engage with the package opening to mitigate leakage of fluid between the package opening and the base cap when the base cap is engaged with the package opening. 
     
     
         10 . A fitment cap for fluidly coupling a pouch with a lower unit of a marine engine drive, comprising:
 a base disposed proximally on a base cap, and configured to selectably, threadedly couple with a fitment sealedly engaged with an outlet of the pouch;   a first threaded portion disposed medially on the base cap, and configured to selectably receive a sealing cap configured to fluidly seal an outlet spout; and   a second threaded portion disposed distally on the base cap, and configured to selectably, threadedly couple with a first target filling port of a machine to provide fluid coupling between the pouch and the first target filling port.   
     
     
         11 . The fitment cap of  claim 10 , the sealing cap comprising an internal threaded portion configured to selectably, threadedly couple with the first threaded portion. 
     
     
         12 . The fitment cap of  claim 10 , the first threaded portion configured to selectably threadedly couple with a second target filling port. 
     
     
         13 . The fitment cap of  claim 10 , the second threaded portion configured to selectably, threadedly couple with a filling port of a lower unit drive of a marine engine. 
     
     
         14 . The fitment cap of  claim 10 , the first threaded portion and second threaded portion comprising respectively comprising one of:
 a Universal Standard Thread (UST) thread pattern; and   an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Metric thread pattern.   
     
     
         15 . A fitment system for fluidly coupling fluid filled packaging with a filling port of a target device, comprising:
 a packaging engagement portion configured to be fixedly engaged in a sealed engagement with packaging;   a base portion engaged with and fluidly coupled with the packaging engagement portion, and comprising:   a first threaded portion disposed medially on the base portion;   second threaded portion disposed distally on the base portion, and configured to selectably, threadedly couple with a filling port of a first target device; and   a spout disposed internally in the base portion, fluidly coupling an opening in the proximal end of the packaging engagement portion and a spout opening at the distal end of the second threaded portion, and configured to provide fluid coupling between the packaging and the filling port; and   a cap configured to selectably, threadedly engage with the first threaded portion to fluidly seal the distal end of the spout.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , the base portion fixedly engaged with the packaging engagement portion. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , the packaging engagement portion comprising a fitment, the fitment comprising a fitment spout portion configured to selectably engage with the base portion. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , one or more of:
 the base portion comprising a base indicator ring configured to engage with elements of the packaging engagement portion when the base portion is engaged with the packaging engagement portion, and provide an indication of tampering when the base portion is at least partially removed from the packaging engagement portion; and   the cap comprising a cap indicator ring, configured to engage with cap locks disposed on a nozzle shoulder on the base portion, and to provide an indication of tampering when the cap is at least partially removed from the base portion.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 15 , the first threaded portion configured to selectably, threadedly couple with a filling port of a second target device. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 15 , the packaging comprising a pouch configured to hold sufficient fluid to transfer to the first target device.
