A method for making a cap (1) for a container comprises a step of forming in a mould, in which the following are made: a body (2) configured to be coupled and uncoupled relative to the neck of the container and including an internally threaded side wall (21), which extends around a longitudinal axis (A), and a transverse wall (22); a tamper evident ring (3), including a retaining element (31), configured to engage a locking member on the neck of the container, and a joining portion (32), where the tamper evident ring is joined to the cap body, the joining portion (32) being configured to be torn along a perimeter surrounding the longitudinal axis (A) in response to a movement of the body (2) away from the tamper evident ring (3); a connecting window (4) including a connecting band (40) and a film (400) which is thinner than the connecting band (40), the film (400) being adjacent to a first flank (43) and a second flank (44) of the connecting band (40), each of the first flank (43) and second flank (44) extending from a first end (41) of the connecting band (40) connected to the retaining portion (31) to a second end (42) of the connecting band (40) connected to the side wall (21) of the body (2), along the whole length of the first (43) and of the second flank (44).

A closure system for a container. The system includes a closure configured to couple with a finish of the container to close an opening of the container defined by the finish. A tamper ring is removably attached to the closure. Upon removing the closure from cooperation with the finish of the container, the tamper ring detaches from the closure and remains on a neck of the container.

A closure (10) is provided. The closure (10) comprises a body portion (20) having engagement means (45) for engagement with a container(15), and a shell for engagement with the body portion (20), wherein the shell comprises securing means (80) arranged in use to secure the engagement means (45) onto the container(15). The container (15) may be a bottle. The body portion (20) may be a pourer fitment. The engagement means (45) may comprise at least one clip. The securing means (80) may comprise a bead.

A closure includes a top wall portion, an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion and a tamper-evident band. The skirt portion includes an internal thread formation. The tamper-evident band depends from and is at least partially detachably connected to the skirt portion by a frangible connection. The closure further includes a 2-stage tag imbedded therein. The 2-stage tag includes an antenna, a switch with a plurality of leads, and a chip or integrated circuit. The current path of the switch is interrupted after the tamper-evident band has been at least partially broken from the skirt portion. The chip stores first and second readable codes that correspond to unopened and opened positions. The frangible connection extends through the 2-stage tag and includes at least two bridges.

The present disclosure relates to a manufacturing method for a plug for a container neck. In one implementation, a skirt of the plug is molded and provided with an attachment device adapted to removably attach to the container neck and with a permanent retention strip around the container neck. The retention strip is adapted to pass, by folding, from a molding configuration to an operating configuration. A peripheral break line is then cut out in the skirt, adapted so as to be broken during the first opening of the plug. In some implementations, the retention strip may be prefolded and thereby pass from a molding configuration to an intermediate prefolded configuration. The retention strip is then folded until it passes into an operating configuration. In some implementations, the folding of the retention strip may pass the retention strip from an intermediate prefolded configuration to an operating configuration.

Aspects of the present invention are directed to a child-proof cap that is easier to open for adults than traditional child-resistant closures, yet remains resistant to opening by children. The child-proof cap may be opened in a pull-and-flip motion with a single hand.

The hybrid plug is a single component replacement for three components, the paint plug, conventional plug and capseal in a drum closure. It is formed from a single sheet of metal and has a plug portion and a capseal portion which vary in thickness. The plug portion has a collar and an externally threaded wall with a plug gasket disposed on a plug gasket seat. The capseal portion is provided with ears and scoring to enable separation from the plug portion and with a lining on the inner wall of the capseal portion to safeguard against plug gasket failure. The capseal portion may be recessed at intervals to form dimples which hold the hybrid plug in place in an automated insertion process. The hybrid plug provides a passage for air and gases during paint curing and leak testing without necessitating removal.

Cap (1) for closing a container comprising a neck delimiting an opening, said cap (1) extending along a central axis (A) and comprising: a body part (2) molded from a thermoplastic material and including a top wall (5) and a skirt (15), a grip part (30) overmolded at least partly around the central axis (A), onto a part of the body part (2), from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which is softer than the thermoplastic material of the body part (2), wherein the grip part (30) is overmolded only onto a part of an outer surface (18) of the skirt (15), the grip portion being delimited along the central axis (A) by a top edge (32) arranged at a distance from the top wall (5), and a bottom edge (31) spaced apart from the top edge (32) towards a free end (16) of the skirt (15).

A cap arranged to interact with a spout. The cap includes a top section, a side wall section attached to the top section and a tamper element attached to the side wall section in a tearing interface. The tearing interface may be provided with a weakening line that is arranged to break when the cap is unscrewed such that the tamper element is separated from the side wall section. The cap further includes at least one resilient cutting element arranged to the side wall. The at least one resilient cutting element is arranged to cut off a membrane of the spout when the cap is unscrewed. The cap is arranged such that the weakening line is arranged to break before the membrane of the spout is cut off when the cap is being unscrewed from the spout.

The invention is directed to a closure (1) having a base (3) with a top deck (4) and a therewith adjacent skirt (5) extending in an axial direction (z) comprising an internal thread (6). The closure (1) is comprising a sealing arrangement (16) with an inner seal (18) extending in the axial direction (z) from the top deck (4). The inner seal (18) is having an inner annular sealing surface (29) arranged radially inward with respect to an outer seal (17) and pointing in an outward direction. The sealing arrangement further comprises an outer seal (17), which in its cross-section comprises a base section (20) extending in the axial direction (z) from the top deck (4) and an end section (21), which is bend inwardly with respect to the course of the base section (20) in the direction of the inner seal (18) and which terminates in a sealing surface (22) pointing in an inward direction.
