  • Publication number: 20220106081
    Abstract: A combination comprises a cap for a container and a neck of a container. The neck is delimited by an outer surface from which a circular enlargement projects, the outer surface extending up to a rim of the neck. The cap comprises a side wall extending about an axis. A separation line is provided on the side wall for defining a retaining ring intended to engage with the circular enlargement to remain anchored to the neck of the container and a closure element removably engageable with the neck so as to be movable between a closed position and an open position. The separation line extends about the axis and is circumferentially interrupted so as to leave a joining portion between the retaining ring and the closure element.
