Definitions
- Figure 9 shows a one-piece closure in accordance with a ninth embodiment of the present invention in an intact configuration
- Figure 9a shows the one-piece closure of Figure 9a in breakage configuration, i.e. with a cap portion separated from a spout portion, wherein the cap portion is coupled and attached securely to the spout portion of the closure;
- FIG. 11 shows a one-piece closure in accordance with a tenth embodiment of the present invention in an intact configuration
- the cap portion 4 closes the dispensing opening 21 and is joined to the outer end 37 of the spout portion 2 by means of a membrane 40 of the closure 1.
- the membrane lies on a surface inclined with respect to the surface whereon the edge of the dispensing opening 41 lies and protruding from the side opposite the spout duct 30, so that, in addition to preventing the accumulation of dirt, sliding is also facilitated.
- the membrane 40 is breakable by manipulating the cap portion 4; in other words, it has structural features, such as axial height and radial thickness, so as to break due to manipulating the cap portion 4, particularly by the bending thereof.
- the membrane 40 has circumferentially a variable radial thickness Sr.
- the thickness Sr has a substantially constant first thickness Sri for a first segment of the circumferential extension and a second thickness Sr2 for a second segment of the circumferential extension.
- cap portion 4 has been removed, due to the fact that it is possible to store it directly on the spout portion 2 and/or on the closure body 3, leaving the dispensing opening open, it follows that it is possible to conveniently dispense the product contained in the container through the dispensing opening, without running the risk of losing the cap portion 4.
