Container cap with hinge and closing element
The patent US12071277B2 describes a novel cap designed for application on the neck of a container. The cap features a retaining ring that secures it to the container neck, a closing element with a lateral wall and a transversal wall that forms a closed end, and a hinge band structure. The design includes specific geometric features, such as a radial dimension that varies, being maximum at a point opposite the hinge band and minimum at the hinge itself. Notably, the hinge structure can have a radial dimension that is null at certain points, indicating a unique design approach to the hinge mechanism.
Further claims detail the cap's structural elements, including a projection from the lateral wall, which is closer to the retaining ring than the transversal wall. The cap incorporates stiffening ribs that extend parallel to the hinge structure, enhancing its durability. Additionally, the lateral wall is equipped with gripping ribs, which are strategically absent in the front region opposite the hinge to facilitate user handling. A locking protuberance is also included, positioned to engage with the container neck, ensuring the closing element remains securely in place. This innovative design aims to improve the functionality and usability of container caps, addressing common challenges in securing and sealing containers.
