Cap for container provided with guarantee seal

A closing device for use with a container, the closing device comprising:

• a coupling portion configured to be coupled to the container;
• and
• a cap removably attached to the coupling portion and configured to be disconnected upon rotation relative to the coupling portion, the cap including,
• an inner annular wall extending from a lower edge to an upper edge,
• a closing bottom at the upper edge to close the inner annular wall,
• a handling portion suitable to be grasped by a user to disconnect the cap from the coupling portion, the handling portion extending from a bottom edge to a top edge, the handling portion extending annularly about and radially spaced from the inner annular wall, the bottom edge of the handling portion being coplanar with the lower edge of the inner annular wall, and
• a guarantee seal extending from an upper guarantee seal edge to a lower guarantee seal edge having,
• at least one engagement element having a vertically extending engagement face extending substantially from the upper guarantee seal edge toward the lower guarantee seal edge and configured to rotationally engage a resistant element of the coupling portion,
• at least one bridge connecting adjacent portions of the guarantee seal and configured to break upon the vertically extending engagement face of the at least one engagement element rotationally engaging the resistant element of the coupling portion, and
• a safety portion connecting the inner annular wall to the guarantee seal to retain the guarantee seal such that the guarantee seal remains attached to the cap upon breaking of the bridge.

A container assembly, comprising:

• a deformable container;
• a coupling portion extending from the container and having at least one resistant element;
• and
• a cap removably attached to the coupling portion and configured to be disconnected upon rotation relative to the coupling portion, the cap including,
• an inner annular wall extending from a lower edge to an upper edge,
• a closing bottom at the upper edge to close the inner annular wall,
• a handling portion suitable to be grasped by a user to disconnect the cap from the coupling portion, the handling portion extending from a bottom edge to a top edge, the handling portion extending annularly about and radially spaced from the inner annular wall,
• at least one tongue connecting the handling portion to the inner annular wall, and
• a guarantee seal extending from an upper guarantee seal edge to a lower guarantee seal edge having,
• at least one engagement element having a vertically extending engagement face extending substantially from the upper guarantee seal edge toward the lower guarantee seal edge and configured to rotationally engage the at least one resistant element of the coupling portion to prevent the rotation of the guarantee seal upon the vertically extending engagement face of the at least one engagement element rotationally engaging the at least one resistant element at least upon a first opening of the cap,
• at least one bridge connecting adjacent portions of the guarantee seal and configured to break upon the vertically extending engagement face of the at least one engagement element rotationally engaging the resistant element of the coupling portion, and
• a safety portion connecting the inner annular wall to the guarantee seal to retain the guarantee seal such that the guarantee seal remains attached to the cap upon breaking of the bridge.

A closing device for use with a container, the closing device comprising:

• a coupling portion configured to be coupled to the container, the coupling portion including at least one rotational resistant element;
• and
• a cap removably attached to the coupling portion, the cap including,
• an inner annular wall extending from a lower edge to an upper edge, the inner annular wall being open at the lower edge and closed off at the upper edge by a closing bottom, and the inner annular wall being internally threaded to allow for screwing and unscrewing of the cap on and off the coupling portion,
• a handling portion extending from a bottom edge to a top edge, the handling portion extending annularly about the inner annular wall such that the handling portion is spaced radially outward of the inner annular wall,
• a plurality of tongues extending outwardly from the inner annular wall to the handling portion to connect the inner annular wall to the handling portion,
• a plurality of safety passages circumferentially positioned between the tongues that extend radially between the inner annular wall and the handling portion, and
• a guarantee seal extending from an upper guarantee seal edge to a lower guarantee seal edge having,
• at least one engagement element having a vertically extending engagement face extending substantially from the upper guarantee seal edge toward the lower guarantee seal edge and configured to rotationally engage the at least one rotational resistant element of the coupling portion to resist the rotation of the guarantee seal upon the vertically extending engagement face of the at least one rotational engagement element rotationally engaging the at least one rotational resistant element at least upon a first opening of the cap,
• at least one bridge connecting adjacent portions of the guarantee seal and configured to break upon the vertically extending engagement face of the at least one engagement element rotationally engaging the at least one resistant element of the coupling portion, and
• at least one safety portion extending between the inner annular wall and the guarantee seal to retain the guarantee seal such that the guarantee seal remains attached to the cap upon breaking of the bridge.
