A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11993436B2) discloses a closure cap designed for sealing the pouring opening of a container. The closure cap comprises a cylindrical threaded part with an open rim, a security ring, and multiple security webs connecting the ring to the open rim. Additionally, the cap features two retaining strips with breaking webs, allowing the threaded part to be folded from a closed to an open position. The design includes a second projection on the security ring, ensuring contact with the open rim when in the open position. The closure cap is intended for use with standardized container necks and is constructed as a single piece from plastic material, such as PP or HDPE.

Furthermore, the patent describes a container closure system incorporating the innovative closure cap. The system includes a container body, a container neck with an outer thread, and the closure cap for sealing the pouring opening within the container neck. The cap features a unique design with a semicircular-arc-shaped web section on the security ring, allowing the threaded part to be easily folded open or closed. Additionally, a support ring at the transition from the container neck to the body ensures stability when the cap is in the open position. The closure cap is designed to provide a secure and efficient sealing solution for containers, offering ease of use and compatibility with standardized container necks.
