Abstract: A mold can form a one-piece container closure by injection molding. The closure may have a base portion that inwardly defines an opening centered about a base portion longitudinal axis and a hinged cap that is linked to the base portion by an outside hinge member. The hinge member may have two opposite ends that are respectively connected to the base portion and the cap, thus defining an elongated hinge member therebetween. A mold may include two parts which respectively define two internal cavities facing each other along a longitudinal axis of alignment that coincides with the base portion longitudinal axis. The two mold parts my be movable along the longitudinal axis of alignment between a closed position where they define together a mold jointing plane and an open position where they are spaced apart from each other for demolding the closure.

Abstract: A one-piece closure can mount on a container having an aperture. The one-piece closure includes a base portion that inwardly defines an opening centered about a base portion longitudinal axis and that is intended to be mounted on the container neck. The one-piece closure includes a hinged cap that is linked to the base portion by an outside hinge member. The hinge member has two opposite ends that are respectively connected to the base portion and the cap, the cap being movable between a closed position in which it closes the aperture of the base portion and an open position in which the aperture is left clear.
