OPENING OR CLOSING BOTTLES, JARS OR SIMILAR CONTAINERS; LIQUID HANDLING

Description

Class B67 encompasses apparatus and methods for opening and closing rigid or semi-rigid containers such as bottles, jars, cans, and similar vessels, along with devices for handling and dispensing liquids. It covers mechanisms including capping/uncapping machines, sealing equipment, and cork extraction devices used in industrial and commercial settings. This classification also includes liquid transfer, pumping, pouring, and measuring systems associated with container operations. Adjacent classes address packaging machinery (B65) and general container structures (B65D), distinguishing B67 by its focus on the operational mechanics of container access and liquid control rather than container design or primary packaging processes.
