Tamper evident flip cap
11827425 · 2023-11-28 · ·

A closure includes a flip-top structure and a tamper-evident band. The flip-top structure is restricted from being opened because it interfaces against an underlying protrusion, such as a thread of a container's neck. To open the flip-top structure the closure is rotated with respect to the container neck. When the closure is rotated with respect to the container neck, the closure is configured such that the tamper-evident band breaks before the flip-top structure is permitted to rotate to an open position. Thus, the closure prevents accessing the container's contents until after the tamper-evident band is broken even with the addition of a flip-top structure.

Cap for a container

What is described here is a closing cap (1) for a container (2), in particular for a container (2) intended to contain pressurised beverages. The cap comprising a lateral wall (3) extending around an axis (Z) and a transversal wall (4) positioned at one end of the lateral wall (3), a separating line (5) being provided on the lateral wall (3) to define a retaining ring (301), which extends as far as a free edge (304) and is configured to internally engage with a locking ring (206) of a neck (201) of the container (2), and a closing element (302) removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container. The cap comprises an inner thread structure, positioned on the inside of the lateral wall (3) of the closing element (302) to engage with an outer thread structure of the neck (201) and to removably couple the closing element (302) to the neck (201) of the container (2). The inner thread structure (305) extends in a spiral around the axis (Z) and comprises at least two vent grooves (306) which extend axially and interrupt the inner thread structure (305) thereby defining first segments (307), near the transversal wall (4) and second segments (308), over which the first segments (307) are axially superposed; wherein each of the first segments (307) extends angularly in a continuous way and at least one segment of the second segments (308) is interrupted by a vent passage (309), to facilitate the discharge of the pressure.

Closing cap for a container and its production method

A cap for a container comprises: a retaining ring intended to remain associated with a neck of the container; a closing element movable between a closed position and an open position; at least one connecting band for keeping the closing element connected to the retaining ring even in the open position.

The retaining ring comprises engaging members suitable for engaging with the neck in order to prevent the retaining ring from being pulled off the neck. The engaging members comprise first engaging elements and second engaging elements which extend towards the inside of the retaining ring. The first engaging elements have a shape different from the second engaging elements, so as to be in contact with the neck in the open position, in order to obstruct rotation of the retaining ring around the neck.

The present invention relates to a closure for a container with a base element (100), a flip-top lid (200) attached to said base element (100) by a hinge (150) such that the flip-top lid (200) can be moved between an opened and a closed position, and with a tamper evident unit (400) for indicating whether the flip-top lid (200) had been opened at least once by a user or not. Said tamper evident unit (400) comprising a first tamper evident element (420) and a second tamper evident element (440), which are, when said closure is in its as-manufactured status or when said flip-top lid (200) has not been opened yet by the user, connected to each other by at least one frangible bridge (430). Said first tamper evident element (420) is attached to the base element (100) such that it is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein said first tamper evident element (420) is in its first position, when said closure is in its as-manufactured status or when said flip-top lid (200) had not been opened yet by the user, and said first tamper evident element (420) is in its second position, when said flip-top lid (200) had been opened at least once by the user.

The connecting bands have a radial thickness measured in a radial direction and a height measured parallel to the axis. The ratio between the height and the radial thickness of the connecting bands is greater than, or equal to, 1.4 and is less than, or equal to, 6.5.
