  • Publication number: 20220379515
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for producing a locking ring on a closure cap for a container, which apparatus comprises a stationary cutting knife with a cutting blade extending along a cutting path, the cutting profile of which cutting blade corresponds to a slot geometry, to be created in a lateral surface of a closure cap blank, between a main part of the closure cap and the locking ring. Furthermore, the apparatus comprises a transport device for transporting the closure cap blank along the cutting path, wherein the transport device has a supporting mandrel for supporting the lateral surface of the closure cap blank such that the lateral surface is rolled over the cutting blade during a cutting operation, wherein the supporting mandrel has a rotatable mount, with which it is mounted so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation oriented perpendicularly to the cutting path.
