  • the internal thread 33 formed on the cap portion 21 has a number of starts (i.e. threads 35) greater, for example double, than the external thread 8 formed on the bottle 2.
  • the internal lateral wall 26 is a flexible wall, which is so shaped and/or has a thickness such as to be deformable, precisely to bend radially and preferably in an elastic way, as a result of stresses exerted on the inner surface 34 and specifically on the threads 35.
  • the lateral wall 26 is joined to the end wall 29 by an annular root edge 36, which defines a flexible hinge 37, preferably an elastic hinge, which allows the lateral wall 26 to bend radially.
  • the lateral wall 26 is tapered (i.e. tapers, having decreasing thickness) from the root edge 36 towards the free end edge 31.
  • the external lateral wall 27 constitutes a wall portion of the lateral wall 16 of the piece 13 and has an outer surface 38 which forms a covering surface, exposed in use, of the cap portion 21 and is possibly shaped and/or knurled to facilitate gripping by a user.

  • the sleeve portion 22 extends in turn along and about the axis X and has a lateral wall 42, substantially cylindrical and that constitutes a further wall portion of the lateral wall 16 of the piece 13 and is for example substantially aligned with the external lateral wall 27 of the cap portion 21; the sleeve portion 22 is provided with a radial tooth 43 which projects radially from an internal lateral surface 44 of the sleeve portion 22 to engage, in use, the shoulder 10 of the bottle 2.
  • the tooth 43 is defined by an annular, for example circumferentially continuous, projection.
  • the internal lateral surface 44 of the sleeve portion 22 is substantially smooth, except for the tooth 43 and possibly other annular projections (circumferential) ; in particular, the surface 44 lacks axial projections acting as members of angular locking and/or of angular orientation between the sleeve portion 22 and the bottle 2.
  • the sleeve portion 22 is joined to the cap portion 21 by the breaking portion 23;
  • the breaking portion 23 has a substantially cylindrical lateral wall 45 about the axis X, which is another wall portion of the lateral wall 16 of the piece 13 and is substantially aligned with the lateral wall 42 of the sleeve portion 22 and the external lateral wall 27 of the cap portion 21;
  • the breaking portion 23 comprises an - - annular strap 46 arranged about the axis X and bounded by a pair of circumferential breaking lines 47, each of which is formed by a succession of aligned cuts 48 angularly spaced apart from one another, formed through the lateral wall 45 and separated by ties 49 that join the strap 46 with the cap portion 21 and the sleeve portion 22;

  • the internal thread 33 engages or is arranged to engage, depending on the position (orientation) which the piece 13 assumes with respect to the bottle 2 during assembly, the external thread 8 of the bottle 2.
  • the breaking portion 23 is ruptured and the strap 46 is removed, separating the cap portion 21 from the sleeve portion 22.
  • the sleeve portion 22 remains axially fixed to the bottle 2 by way of the coupling 52; the sleeve portion 22 is instead angularly free with respect to the bottle 2, and therefore is freely rotatable about the axis X with respect to the bottle 2.
  • the cap portion 21 is coupled to the bottle 2 by way of the threaded coupling 53 and can then be unscrewed/screwed to open/close the bottle 2.
  • the rupture of the breaking portion 23 shows, however, that the device 1 has been certainly opened a first time.
  • the monolithic piece 13 is mounted on the bottle 2, through the open end 14, without requiring a pre-orientation of the piece 13 with respect to the bottle 2, but simply by fitting axially (along the axis X) the piece 13 on the neck 3 of the bottle 2, until the tooth 43 snap engages the shoulder 10.
