Abstract
A capping capsule with a thin wall comprising a tearable guarantee strip connected to the skirt of said capsule by means of two rupture lines of reduced thickness. The tearable guarantee strip is provided with vertical ribs spaced from each other, the thickness of which rapidly decreases to reach zero at the edges of said strip defining the crimping lines.
Claims4
A capping capsule with a thin wall comprising a closed end and an axially extending skirt including a circumferential tear-off guarantee strip which is joined at its upper and lower edges to the skirt at two rupture lines defined by two circumferential grooves extending around the inside of the skirt and separated by the height of the guarantee strip, and the guarantee strip including on its inner face multiple circumferentially spaced axially extending ribs, the thickness of each rib decreasing abruptly near its ends and blending into the rupture lines.
