Abstract

A cap ( 1 ) for containers, which comprises a cylindrical body formed by the articulated joint between two superimposed parts, a lower part ( 2 ) having gripping means for retention thereof on the neck ( 20 ) of the container, and an upper part ( 3 ) having an upper base ( 5 ) joined to a perimeter wall ( 7 ), wherein said perimeter wall ( 7 ) comprises a visor ( 9 ) for enabling the opening of the cap ( 1 ), wherein said visor ( 9 ) comprises a flap ( 10 ) disposed transversely thereto and in correspondence to a complementary cut-out ( 4 ) provided on the upper edge of the lower part ( 2 ), wherein said flap ( 10 ) comprises, on an inner surface, a cord ( 11 ) disposed transversely to the axial axis of the cap ( 1 ) for executing the grip of the upper part ( 3 ) to the neck ( 20 ) of the container.

Claims (19)

1. A cap for containers, which comprises a cylindrical body formed by the articulated joint between two superimposed parts, a lower part having a perimeter relief disposed on a plane below a cut-out and extends, at least, between the ends of said cut-out, and an upper part having an upper base joined to a perimeter wall, wherein said perimeter wall comprises a visor, wherein said visor comprises a flap disposed transversely thereto, in correspondence with the complementary cutout provided on the upper edge of the lower part, wherein said flap comprises a cord on an inner surface disposed transversely to the axial axis of the cap for executing the grip of the upper part to the neck of the container, wherein the perimeter wall of the upper part further comprises two pairs of vertical slots made parallel to the axial axis of the cap, defining the formation of two joining strips between the lower part and the upper part.

2. The cap for containers, according to claim 1 , wherein the lower part comprises a ridge disposed between the strips.

3. The cap for containers, according to claim 1 , wherein the strips comprise a first perimeter relief on their inner face that reduces the inner diameter of the cap.

4. The cap for containers, according to claim 2 , wherein the ridge disposed between the strips comprises a second perimeter relief on its inner face that reduces the inner diameter of the cap.

5. The cap for containers, according to claim 1 , wherein the upper part comprises two recesses provided on the outer edge of its upper base, whereon corresponding perimeter slots are provided, made around the perimeter in said recesses and defining a joining tab with each of the strips, and wherein said tabs are dimensioned to provide a continuous perimeter edge on the upper base.

6. The cap for containers, according to claim 5 , wherein the upper part comprises a protrusion provided between the two recesses which enables the cap to be opened more than 180°.

7. The cap for containers, according to claim 2 , wherein the ridge disposed between the strips comprises at least one rib joined in a frangible manner to the upper part before opening the cap.

8. The cap for containers, according to claim 1 , wherein the upper base has a diameter greater than the perimeter wall of the upper part.

9. The cap for containers, according to claim 1 , wherein the lower part comprises a third perimeter relief on its inner face disposed on a plane below the cut-out and extending at least between the ends of said cut-out.

10. A cap for containers, which comprises a cylindrical body formed by the articulated joint between two superimposed parts, a lower part having gripping means for retention thereof on the neck of the container, and an upper part having an upper base joined to a perimeter wall, wherein said perimeter wall comprises a visor, wherein said visor comprises a flap disposed transversely thereto, in correspondence with a complementary cut-out provided on the upper edge of the lower part, wherein said flap comprises a cord on an inner surface disposed transversely to the axial axis of the cap for executing the grip of the upper part to the neck of the container, wherein the upper part comprises a burr on the lower edge of the inner surface of its perimeter wall for coming into contact with the neck of the container.

11. The cap for containers, according to claim 1 , wherein the upper base comprises a cylindrical skirt that emerges from its inner face and is dimensioned so as to be inserted in the interior of the neck of the container.

12. A cap for containers, which comprises a cylindrical body formed by the articulated joint between two superimposed parts, a lower part having gripping means for retention thereof on the neck of the container, and an upper part having an upper base joined to a perimeter wall, wherein said perimeter wall comprises a visor, wherein said visor comprises a flap disposed transversely thereto, in correspondence with a complementary cut-out provided on the upper edge of the lower part, wherein said flap comprises a cord on an inner surface disposed transversely to the axial axis of the cap for executing the grip of the upper part to the neck of the container, wherein the upper part further comprises at least one pair of ribs on the inner surface of its perimeter wall, wherein each rib is disposed on both sides of the flap.

13. The cap for containers according to claim 1 , wherein the cord is releasably engageable with the neck such that the cord is reusable for repeated engagement and disengagement with the neck.

14. The cap for containers, according to claim 10 , wherein the upper base has a diameter greater than the perimeter wall of the upper part.

15. The cap for containers, according to claim 10 , wherein the lower part comprises a third perimeter relief on its inner face disposed on a plane below the cut-out and extending at least between the ends of said cut-out.

16. The cap for containers, according to claim 10 , wherein the upper base comprises a cylindrical skirt that emerges from its inner face and is dimensioned so as to be inserted in the interior of the neck of the container.

17. The cap for containers, according to claim 12 , wherein the upper base has a diameter greater than the perimeter wall of the upper part.

18. The cap for containers, according to claim 12 , wherein the lower part comprises a third perimeter relief on its inner face disposed on a plane below the cut-out and extending at least between the ends of said cut-out.

19. The cap for containers, according to claim 12 , wherein the upper base comprises a cylindrical skirt that emerges from its inner face and is dimensioned so as to be inserted in the interior of the neck of the container.
