Benefits of technology

The cap effectively provides tamper evidence and resealing capabilities, ensuring the quality of perishable products by securely opening and resealing the packaging without compromising the contents, while being easy to manufacture and use.

Problems solved by technology

A regular screw-cap closure may be opened and reclosed without causing any visible leakage, yet breaking the hermetic seal may hamper the quality of the product in a dramatic way.

Abstract

A cap arranged to interact with a spout has a top portion, a sidewall portion depending from the top portion and formed in one piece therewith. The sidewall portion has an interior threading arranged to interact with exterior threading of the neck during an opening operation and during a closing operation. The cap further has a tamper evidence, which is removably attached to the sidewall portion having cutting elements with a first end hingedly attached to the sidewall portion and a free end portion arranged to interact with a membrane portion of the spout. The hinged attachment allows for the cutting element to pivot in an axial direction. Further, the free end portion has a blunt tip and a comparatively sharper cutting edge on a lateral side of the free end portion.
