Closing Cap for Containers

Abstract

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.

1 . 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;   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,   wherein the lower ring has a section with a diameter larger than the remaining section of the annular-shaped body, and wherein the hinged portion is located in the section with the larger diameter, and 
 a tamperproof seal between the upper cap and the lower ring, wherein the tamperproof seal is made up of a plurality of breaking points located on a rim of the lower ring that protrudes outwards and attached to a lower edge of the upper cap. 
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . The closing cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the rim that protrudes outwards is located in the smaller diameter section. 
     
     
         5 . The closing cap  claim 1 , wherein the hinged portion is formed by an extension of a substantially rectangular shape that at the upper end thereof is attached to the upper cap and at the lower end thereof is attached to the lower ring, such extension being devoid of fold lines. 
     
     
         6 . The closing cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the upper cap includes an abutment means configured for being in contact with a region of the neck of a container in the open position of the upper cap with respect to the lower ring. 
     
     
         7 . The closing cap according to  claim 6 , wherein the abutment means is comprised of a flange that extends outwardly from the inside of the body that makes up the upper cap and parallel to the hinged portion. 
     
     
         8 . The closing cap according  claim 1 , being made of a single piece of injection moulding plastic material.
