  • Patent number: 5573130
    Abstract: The closure element (2) for a pot (1) equipped with a neck (3) in order to confine a product, particularly a cosmetic product, in this pot in a tamperproof manner, is produced by dual-injection of plastic and comprises a fastening ring (5) fixed onto the neck (3) of the pot in a practically non-removable manner, this fastening ring being produced from a first plastic, and a disc (8) forming a lid, produced from a second plastic and connected to the fastening ring.
