Closure cap for a container

Abstract

In a closure cap ( 1 ) for a container having a disk-like lid ( 3 ) in which is provided a product dispensing channel ( 5 ) that leads to an opening ( 4 ), a hinge ( 6 ) is used to hinge the lid ( 3 ) to a casing member ( 7 ) of the closure cap ( 1 ). The hinge ( 6 ) is provided in order to be able to swivel the lid ( 3 ) selectively into a closed position, in which the opening ( 4 ) is sealed by an inner surface ( 8 ) of the casing member ( 7 ), and into an open position, in which the opening ( 4 ) is not covered by the casing member ( 7 ). A connection ( 9 ), especially a screw thread, is used for applying the closure cap ( 1 ) to the container and for supplying product from the container via a slot ( 10 ) in the closure cap ( 1 ) to the product dispensing channel ( 5 ). In order to reliably prevent product from discharging from the opening ( 4 ) when the lid ( 3 ) is not exactly closed or when pressure is inadvertently applied to the container, a seal ( 15 ) is provided on the opening ( 4 ).

1 . A closure cap comprising a disk-like lid in which a product dispensing channel leading to an opening is provided, a hinge for the hinged attachment of the lid to a casing member of the closure cap in order to be able to swivel the lid about the hinge and in so doing be able to swivel the lid selectively into a closed position, in which the opening is sealed by an inner surface of the casing member, or into an open position, in which the opening is not covered by the casing member, and a connection comprising a screw threading for mounting the closure cap on the container and for feeding product of the container via a slot of the closure cap to the product dispensing channel, wherein a seal is provided on the opening and is operable to seal the lid against the inner surface of the casing member.  
   
   
       2 . A closure cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the seal comprises a first sealing surface on the inner surface against which a second sealing that is provided on the opening and on the lid acts.  
   
   
       3 . A closure cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid comprises two sealing webs which run above and below the opening transverse to the swivel direction.
