Tool for manufacturing a cap for a container

A cap-manufacturing tool, the tool comprising:

• a plurality of knives, the knives being configured to make incisions in a cap having a main body having a top plate and a circular sidewall, the top plate having a top surface, wherein two opposite sides of the circular sidewall circularly connect to each other, one periphery of the circular sidewall connects to one surface of the top plate forming a closed end, and the other periphery of the circular sidewall at the opposite side of the closed end forms an opened end and a ring member, which is located at the opened end of the main body, the plurality of knives including:
• a first set of knives configured to cut a first incision in the cap, the first incision being defined between first and second ends thereof that do not meet;
• and
• a second set of knives configured to cut a second incision in the cap such that the first incision and the second incision do not intersect, the second incision being defined between first and second ends thereof that do not meet;
• wherein a first knife in the first set of knives and a second knife in the second set of knives are configured, respectively, to make a first incision section and a second incision section in the cap, thereby forming a first connection portion that connects the main body to the ring member therebetween;
• wherein a third knife in the first set of knives and a fourth knife in the second set of knives are configured, respectively, to make a third incision section and a fourth incision section in the cap, thereby forming a second connection portion that connects the main body to the ring member therebetween;
• wherein the second set of knives are additionally configured to form a first tab on the ring member and a second tab on the sidewall so that a fifth knife of the second set of knives is configured to make a fifth incision section defining a first side of the first tab, a sixth knife of the second set of knives is configured to make a sixth incision section defining both a second side of the first tab and a first side of the second tab, and a seventh knife of the second set of knives is configured to make a seventh incision section defining a second side of the second tab;
• wherein an eighth knife of the second set of knives is configured to make an eighth incision section so that a first end of the eighth incision section is joined to the fifth incision section and a second end of the eighth incision section is joined to a first end of the sixth incision section;
• wherein a ninth knife of the second set of knives is configured to make a ninth incision section so that a first end of the ninth incision section is joined to a second end of the sixth incision section and a second end of the ninth incision section is joined to the seventh incision section;
• wherein the first connection portion, the second connection portion, the first tab and the second tab are all formed between the same two incision planes:
• a first incision plane being delimited by the first incision section, the fourth incision section, and the ninth incision section;
• and a second incision plane being delimited by the second incision section, the third incision section, and the eighth incision section;
• and
• wherein the knives are organized in rows so that a first row includes the first knife and the fourth knife and the ninth knife, a second row includes the fifth knife, the sixth knife and the seventh knife and a third row includes the second knife and the third knife and the eighth knife.
