  • Patent number: 11697534
    Abstract: A cap includes a lateral wall extending about an axis and a transversal wall positioned at one end of the lateral wall, a separation line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring; a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container; the separation line extends about an axis and being circumferentially interrupted to leave the retaining ring and the closing element joined; wherein the retaining ring comprises a joining portion, a first connecting band, and a second connecting band; a tab, interposed between the first connecting band and the second connecting band and being protruding, or aligned with respect to it, so that, when the closing element is in an open condition and the connecting bands keep the closing element connected to the retaining ring, the tab can rest on the neck.

  • Patent number: 11535436
    Abstract: A combination of a closing cap (1?) for a container (2) and a neck (201) of the container (2), wherein the cap (1?) comprises a lateral wall (3) extending about an axis (Z) and a transversal wall (4) positioned at an end of the lateral wall (3), a separation line (5?) of the lateral wall (3) defining a retaining ring (301?), configured to remain anchored to the neck (201) and a closing element (302) to open or close the container (2). The retaining ring (301?) comprises a retaining portion (303), configured to engage internally with a locking ring (202) of the neck (201). The retaining ring (301?) comprises a joining portion (305) which allows the retaining ring (301?) to be joined to the closing element (302), a first connecting band and a second connecting band, and a tab positioned between the first connecting band and the second connecting band.

  • Patent number: 11518592
    Abstract: Described is a closing cap (1) for a container (2), which comprises a lateral wall (3) extending about an axis (Z) and a transversal wall (4) positioned at an end of the lateral wall (3), a separation line (5) being provided on the lateral wall (3) to form a retaining ring (301), which is configured to remain anchored to a neck (201) of the container (2) and extends up to a free edge (304), and a closing element (302) removably engageable with the neck (201), so as to open or close the container (2). The separation line (5) extends about the axis (Z) and is circumferentially interrupted to form in the lateral wall (3) a joining zone (305), which extends for a first angle (a), in which the retaining ring (301) and the closing element (302) are joined.

  • Publication number: 20220340340
    Abstract: A closing cap for a container includes a separating line on a lateral wall forming a retaining ring, configured to remain anchored to a neck of the container and extending up to a free edge. A closing element is engageable with the neck, to open or close the container. The separating line is circumferentially interrupted to define in the lateral wall a joining zone, extending at a first angle, in which the retaining ring and the closing element are joined. An engagement element of the retaining ring is bent when the cap is closed. First and second incision lines allow deformability of a connecting portion and a region of the engagement element extending at a second angle, so that when first opening the closing element, the region goes beyond the locking ring and deforms to rest on the locking ring in an extended configuration.

  • Publication number: 20220258925
    Abstract: A cap for a container comprises a side wall extending about an axis and a transversal wall arranged at an end of the side wall. A separation line is provided on the side wall for defining: a retaining ring intended to remain anchored to a neck of the container, and a closure element which can removably engage the neck, so as to open or close the container. The separation line extends about the axis and is circumferentially interrupted so as to leave a joining portion between the retaining ring and the closing element. The cap further has an incision line which extends transversally to the axis between the separation line and a free edge of the retaining ring, so that between the separation line and the incision line two connecting bands are defined, the connecting bands joining the retaining ring to the joining portion. The connecting bands have a radial thickness measured in a radial direction and a height measured parallel to the axis.

  • Publication number: 20210300648
    Abstract: Described is a combination of a closing cap (1?) for a container (2) and a neck (201) of the container (2), wherein the cap (1?) comprises a lateral wall (3) extending about an axis (Z) and a transversal wall (4) positioned at an end of the lateral wall (3), a separation line (5?) of the lateral wall (3) defining a retaining ring (301?), configured to remain anchored to the neck (201) and a closing element (302) to open or close the container (2). The separation line (5?) extends about the axis (Z) and is circumferentially interrupted so as to leave the retaining ring (301) and the closing element (302) joined together. The retaining ring (301?) comprises a retaining portion (303), configured to engage internally with a locking ring (202) of the neck (201), the latter projecting from an outer surface of the neck (201) and extending in a direction parallel to the axis (Z) between an upper end (202c) and a lower end (202b).
