  • Patent number: 12179976
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cap including a cavity delimited by a cylindrical side wall and by a discoidal base at a first end of the cap. The latter further includes a circular opening for accessing the cavity, obtained at a second end of the cap opposite the first end. A discoidal dividing wall is housed in the cavity of the cap between the base and the opening. The dividing wall is connected to the side wall along its circular edge to delimit, with the base and a portion of the side wall, a section inside the cap. A tongue protruding outside the cap penetrates the latter through the side wall connects to the dividing wall at an end inside the cap.
