Diaphragm

A reinforcing support for use with a diaphragm, for a closure for sealing an access opening of a container body, the diaphragm being semi-rigid and formed with an annular region surrounding a shaped cavity the reinforcing support comprising an annulus profiled such that it corresponds with and is locatable against all or a substantial part of the annular region of the diaphragm, characterised in that the annulus is hollow in cross-section about all or part of the annulus, the hollow annulus thereby defining an open recess, and a tamper evident band is provided to cover the opening of the recess to thereby define a generally planar surface.

A spoon for use with a container for storing non-liquid material, the spoon comprising a scoop portion for dispensing non-liquid material from the container, wherein the periphery of the scoop portion describes a non-planar surface which is profiled such that when the scoop portion, when overfilled with non-liquid matter, is drawn against the internal periphery of the container, excess non-liquid matter is thereby removed from the scoop portion such that the profile of the non-liquid matter remaining within the scoop portion perpendicular to both the direction of drawing and the longitudinal axis of the scoop portion defines a generally linear ridge.

A container comprising:

• a container body having a sidewall and a base,
• a diaphragm closure for sealing an access opening of the container body, the diaphragm being semi-rigid and formed with an annular region surrounding a shaped cavity, and
• a reinforcing support comprising an annulus profiled such that it corresponds with and is locatable against all or a substantial part of the annular region of the diaphragm, the annulus being hollow in cross-section about all or part of the annulus, the hollow annulus thereby defining an open recess.
