Method of molding an overmolded beverage closure

1. A method of molding a container closure providing selective fluid communication between an interior of a fluid container and an exterior environment, the method comprising:

configuring and closing a mold having a first cavity negatively defining a base of a container closure that includes a spout and a container mount, where said spout and container mount cooperate to define a conduit therethrough in fluid communication with an outlet orifice of said spout;

injecting a first material into said first cavity to mold said base;

cooling said first material in said mold to impart at least minimal rigidity to said base;

reconfiguring at least a portion of said mold to define a second cavity adjacent to said first material, said second cavity negatively defining a cap covering said outlet orifice of said spout;

injecting a second material into said second cavity to mold said cap in a closed position over said outlet orifice;

providing a sealed fluidic interface between said second material of said cap and said first material of said spout outlet orifice when said cap is in said closed position, when said cap is in said closed position said sealed fluidic interface exhibits an untamper evident indicia visually apparent to the user;

cooling said second material in said mold to impart at least minimal rigidity to said cap;

removing said base and integrally formed cap from said mold;

wherein breaking said sealed fluidic interface and opening said spout outlet orifice by repositioning said cap from said closed position to an open position; and

wherein repositioning said cap from said open position to said closed position, when said cap is returned to said closed position after being previously opened said sealed fluidic interface exhibits a tamper evident indicia visually apparent to the user indicating that said sealed fluidic interface has been previously broken.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said base is retained by said mold during the reconfiguring act.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of injecting said second material into said second cavity includes injecting said second material at least partially into said outlet orifice of said spout to plug said spout.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

said first material exhibits a first color;

said second material exhibits a second color, different than said first color; and

said untamper evident indicia of said sealed fluidic interface exhibits a third color, which is a combination of said first and second colors.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein:

said tamper evident indicia of said sealed fluidic interface is a substantial absence of said third color illustrating said sealed fluidic interface has been previously broken.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said second material is at least one of substantially transparent and substantially translucent.

7. A method of overmolding a repositionable cap onto a container closure, the method comprising the steps of:

configuring and closing a mold having a container closure base to at least partially define a mold cavity approximate a spout of said container closure base;

injecting a first material into said mold cavity to overmold a cap over said spout that closes an outlet orifice of said spout;

cooling said first material to impart at least minimal rigidity to said cap; and

removing said base and overmolded cap from said mold;

revealing a first color indicia of a sealed spout outlet orifice when said cap is in its original injected molded position with said container closure base; and

revealing a second color indicia of a tampered spout outlet orifice when said cap that has been previously repositioned from said base returns to said original injected molded position with said base, said second color indicia is different from said first color indicia.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

said spout exhibits a first color;

said first material of said cap exhibits a second color, different than said first color; and

overmolded portions of said first material exhibit a third color, which is a combination of said first and second colors.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein

said overmolded portions of said first material form a bond to said spout having said first color indicia; and

displacement of said cap with respect to said spout to break said bond between said first material and said spout results in revealing said second color indicia in areas where said bond is broken.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

said first material is at least one of transparent yellow colored and translucent yellow colored; and

said container closure base is a blue color.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

said first material is at least one of transparent yellow colored and translucent yellow colored; and

said container closure base is a red color.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

said first material is at least one of transparent red colored and translucent red colored; and

said container closure base is a blue color.

13. A method of imparting a tamper evident indicia to an injection molded product, the method comprising:

molding a first component of a product; and

molding a second component of said product over said first component to create a bond between overmolded portions of said first component and said second component, where said second component includes at least one of a transparent property and a translucent property so that said bond of said overmolded portions of said first and second components exhibits a first color that is a combination of colors of said overmolded portions of said first and second components;

wherein breaking of a portion of said bond between said overmolded portions and reconnecting said overmolded portions that were previously broke apart exhibits a second color in said portion of said bond that has been previously broken to exhibit tamper evidence to the user, said second color is different from said first color.
