The invention relates to a closing cap for containers, particularly intended for containers that have an opening in a neck provided with an outer threaded portion, comprising a lower ring intended for being coupled to the neck of the container and an upper cap having an inner threaded region configured for being coupled to the outer threaded portion of a container neck, the upper cap and the lower ring being articulated to each other by means of a hinged portion, such that the lower ring is formed by an annular-shaped body. Said lower ring has a section with a diameter larger than the remaining section of the annular-shaped body, wherein the hinged portion is located in the section with the larger diameter.

A compact cap with an opening block, after opening, for a container having a mouthpiece, includes a base ring preventing separation from the mouthpiece, a protective cap or cover for opening and closing the mouthpiece, a hinge arrangement that makes the base ring and the cover integral, and frangible bridges, which connect a lower edge of the cover with an upper edge of the base ring when the cover is closing on the ring base and the mouthpiece. The hinge arrangement includes a plurality of spaced strips or bridges, which connect the cover and the base ring, and an extension enlarged outwardly, which forms an integral part of an annular collar and is obtained at the lower end of the cover, and which becomes engaged with the mouthpiece when the cover is rotated from a closed position to an open position to provide a stable open position of the cover.

A method of manufacturing a tamper-evident closure, comprising the steps of: forming a body having a base and a lid; and inserting a dispensing member and a tamper-evident member into the body.

A tamper-evident closure comprising a cap and a retaining ring, the retaining ring is connected to the sidewall by a plurality of bridges, at least one of the bridges is frangible and at least one of the bridges is non-frangible whereby to form a link between the ring and the sidewall.

The invention is an ergonomic bottle cap having a U-shaped support extending along opposite sides and across the top. The U-shaped support having a top fin across the top wall of the cap and two opposing side tabs extending from the top fin along the annular side wall of the cap. The side tabs integrally molded with the top fin and the cap.

A flip-top closure includes first and second polymeric closure portions. The first closure portion includes a top wall portion, a sealing mechanism and an annular skirt portion. The second closure portion includes a tamper-evident band. The closure portions are attached by a line of weakness. The closure portions are further attached via a hinge. The hinge includes a locking tab, a flexible tab and linking segments. The locking tab extends further outwardly from a center of the closure in a closed position than the flexible tab and the linking segments. During the opening of the flip-top closure, the locking tab moves and passes the flexible tab such that the flip-top closure locks in a fully open position.

A cap for a container is provided and a related method for making the cap. The cap comprises a side wall extending about an axis and a transversal wall arranged at an end of the side wall, a separation line being provided on the side wall for defining: a retaining ring, which is intended to remain anchored to a neck of the container and is configured to internally engage with an enlargement of the neck; 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 closure element, which extends circumferentially for a respective angle, the cap further having an incision line which extends transversally to the axis between the separation line and a free edge of the retaining ring, so that two connecting bands are defined between the separation line and the incision line, the two connecting bands joining the retaining ring to the joining portion. The connecting bands are deformable and the joining portion is externally provided with a projection which projects from the joining portion and is positioned between a separation plane in which the separation line lies and the incision line so that, when the closure element is in the open position and the connecting bands keep the closure element connected to the retaining ring, an edge of the joining portion which, in the closed position, faces the retaining ring, is facing, in the open position, towards a rim of the neck and the projection is resting on the neck in said open position.

The invention described herein relates broadly to closure assemblies, and methods of use and manufacture thereof. More particularly, certain embodiments relate to assemblies and methods for closing an opening defined by a spout provided on a flexible container utilising a capping member having a plugging portion and a substantially fracturable retaining skirt. Embodiments provide may an adequate seal for the contents contained within bags against the significant pressure placed upon the closure by the often weighty and voluminous contents of the packaging. Furthermore, the closure may be easily and comfortably removable by a user whilst managing the handling of the bag.

A closure includes a closure portion defining a closure top wall and a closure side wall extending from closure top wall. The closure portion is configured to be removed from a finish portion of the container by rotatably disengaging from threads of the finish portion. A tamper evidence band configured to remain engaged with the finish portion when the closure portion is removed from the finish portion. A multiplicity of thin connections attaching the tamper evidence band to the closure portion. The thin connections configured to break apart when the closure portion is removed from the container. An anchor extending from the closure portion to the tamper evidence band. The anchor configured to keep the closure portion attached to the tamper evidence band when the closure portion is removed from the container.

A container assembly including a pouch, spout and closure is provided. The closure includes a tamper-evident band comprising two or more wall sections. Adjacent wall sections of the tamper band may be connected to one another with frangible connectors configured to break upon twist-off of the closure from the spout. The closure also includes one or more support walls supported between an outer wall and central wall of the closure. The closure further includes one or more hinges attaching the ends of the wall sections of the tamper band to the lower ends of the support walls. The hinges are configured to increase the resistance required to break or otherwise distort the frangible connections of the tamper-evident band, so as to prevent or lower the risk of accidental or inadvertent breakage of the tamper-evident band prior to twist-off of the closure from the spout.
