Benefits of technology

The present invention is a closing device for a container which has an opening for the passage of a product. The device comprises a main body and a cover that can be opened and closed to intercept the opening. In the closed position, the cover faces the head surface of the container. The device can be coupled with the container using connection means. The main body and cover can be made from plastic material. The cover can be easily moved with respect to the main body, and the device can be used to prevent leakage or egress of the product. The technical effects of the invention include improved safety and convenience in the use of containers and the prevention of product waste.

Problems solved by technology

The solution provided according to the state of the art, however, poses some drawbacks.
A drawback of the known technique is represented by the quantity of material used to make the two parts that make up the cap.
This negatively affects the cost of the raw material used for making the cap.
Another drawback of the known technique lies in that for containers having different shapes it is necessary to make specific caps in which the two parts have a shape that matches the shape of the terminal portion of the container with which they are associated.

Abstract

The present invention is a closing device (1; 71; 91; 101) for a container (50; 51), comprising: a main body (2; 72; 92) suited to be connected to the container (50; 51) and comprising an opening (4) for the passage of a product flowing out of the container (50; 51); a cover (12; 82) comprising closing means (23) of the opening (4) and suited to be arranged in a closed position with respect to the main body (2; 72; 92), in which the closing means (23) intercept the opening (4), and suited to be arranged in an open position, in which the closing means (23) do not intercept the opening (4). In said closed position, at least one portion of the cover (12; 82) does not face said main body (2; 72; 92).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention concerns the field of container production. In particular, the present invention concerns the manufacturing of caps suited to be used to close containers such as bottles or tubes.DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE OF THE ART[0002]Various types of caps are known, which are applied to bottles or tubes such as containers for shampoos, bath foams, toothpastes and similar products.[0003]According to the known technique, the caps for said containers are made of plastic and consist of two parts: a main body suited to be connected to the container and a second moving part in the shape of a cover. The two parts are advantageously connected by means of an articulated joint. Typically, the two parts define a single body obtained by moulding.[0004]The main body of the cap is associated with the terminal portion of the container and is provided with a dispensing hole that is closed and / or opened by operating the cover.[0005]The main body of the c...
