A closure cap for a container, the closure cap comprising:
- a top part connectable to a container body via a hinge, the top part being pivotable about the hinge;
- the top part including a sealing skirt to sealingly engage with an opening of the container body and further comprising a top wall;
- the top part further comprising a desiccant chamber for accommodating a desiccant, and further comprising
- a spring element for pre-tensioning products received in the container body, wherein the spring element extends directly from and ends at the top wall of the top part to form a single loop, does not comprise more than a single winding, and neither branches off nor consists of more than a single band of material,
- wherein the loop of the spring element has a diameter larger than a diameter of the desiccant chamber,
- wherein the spring element has two base portions, which are situated between an inner diameter of the sealing skirt and an outer diameter of the desiccant chamber,
- wherein the loop has a stand-alone structure with respect to the closure cap, and
- wherein there is no other structure connecting the loop to the closure cap.
A container comprising a closure cap and a container body, wherein the closure cap comprises
- a top part and a ring part, wherein the ring part is connected to the container body and the top part is connected to the ring part via a hinge, the top part being pivotable about the hinge;
- the top part including a sealing skirt to sealingly engage with an opening of the container body and further comprising a top wall;
- the top part further comprising a desiccant chamber for accommodating a desiccant, and further comprising
- a spring element for pre-tensioning products received in the container body, wherein the spring element extends directly from and ends at the top wall of the top part to form a single loop, does not comprise more than a single winding, and neither branches off nor consists of more than a single band of material,
- wherein the loop of the spring element has a diameter larger than a diameter of the desiccant chamber,
- wherein the spring element has two base portions, which are situated between an inner diameter of the sealing skirt and an outer diameter of the desiccant chamber,
- wherein the loop has a stand-alone structure with respect to the closure cap, and
- wherein there is no other structure connecting the loop to the closure cap.
