- the "radial” orientation is directed orthogonal to the X axis and the axial orientation is directed parallel to the X axis.
- the terms “external” and “internal” are used to define the relative position of a element with respect to another, with reference to the X axis, an element close to the X axis is thus qualified as internal as opposed to an external element located radially on the periphery.
- upper and lower are used to define the relative position of one element with respect to another by reference to a position in which the orifice 3 of the neck 2 is directed upwards and the cap 1 is in the closed position on the neck 2 of the container, an element intended to be placed lower being designated by lower and an element intended to be placed higher being designated by upper.

- the lower ring 9 is, before the first opening of the container, connected to the cap 1 by frangible bridges 30, visible for example in Figures 7 to 9, intended to break when opening the cap 1. These frangible bridges 30 thus constitute tamper evidence.
- the lower ring 9 is held axially on the neck 2 of the container while being able to rotate relative to the latter around the axis X.
- the lower ring 9 comprises two parts which are hinged to each other, namely a first sector 16 and a second sector 17 by which the lower ring 9 is linked to the stopper 1 by means of the hinge device 10.
- the second sector 17 is capable of pivoting upwards relative to the first sector 16, between a lowered position in which at least the major part of the second sector 17 is intended to be arranged in- below the attachment flange 5 and a raised position, in which at least the major part of the second sector 17 is arranged above the attachment flange 5.
- This allows the stopper 1 to move upwards relative at the neck 2 of the container, until the helical thread 7 of the stopper 1 disengages from the helical thread 6 provided on the neck 2 of the container.
- the lower ring 9 when the cap 1 is unscrewed, the lower ring 9 is rotated around the X axis while the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 pivots relative to the first sector 16 to the position raised so as to allow an axial movement, upwards of the stopper 1, from the closed position, to the released position shown in Figure 3.
- the stopper 1 is pivoted from the released position to the open tilted position
- the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 pivots in the opposite direction with respect to the first sector 16 and then returns to the lowered position.
- the second sector 17 also pivots relative to the first sector 16 from the lowered position to the raised position when the cap 1 is pivoted from the open tilted position to the released position.
- the lower ring 9 is held axially on the neck 2 of the container by means of the attachment flange 5.
- the attachment flange 5 has a frustoconical outer surface tapering upwards, that is to say in the direction of the orifice 3 of the container.
- the attachment collar 5 delimits, downwards, that is to say in a direction opposite to the orifice 3, a shoulder.
- the first sector 16 of the lower ring 9 comprises attachment elements 18 which are intended to cooperate with the attachment collar 5 provided on the container in order to axially retain the lower ring 9 at neck 2 of the container.
- the hooking elements 18 are protuberances which protrude radially inwards from the first sector 16 of the lower ring 9.
- the hooking elements 18 have a radial dimension which increases, from bottom to top. , that is to say in the direction of the upper edge of the lower ring 9.
- the attachment elements 18 slide against the frustoconical surface of the collar d attachment 5 then lock by elastic return behind the attachment collar 5.
- the first sector 16 of the lower ring 9 comprises a front zone 19 which is diametrically opposed to the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 and two attachment zones 20, shown in Figure 6, which are arranged on either side on the other side of the front zone 19 and are each arranged between the front zone 19 and the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9.
- the attachment elements 18 are exclusively arranged in the two attachment zones 20, 21.
- the second sector 17 extends over an angular range between 90 and 150°, and for example of the order of 120°

- each of the two attachment zones 20, 21 extends over an angular range of between 30 and 90°, for example of the order of 60°.
- the front zone 19 of the first sector 16 has a recess 31 formed at the upper edge of the lower ring 9.
- the front zone 19 has a height, measured parallel to axis X, which is less than that of the lower ring 9, outside the front zone 19 and which is less than the spacing between the support collar 4 and the attachment flange 5.
- said recess 31 allows the front zone 19 of the first sector 16 to be positioned axially between the support collar 4 and the collar of attachment 5 whereas, in the absence of such a setback 31, the front zone would come into abutment against the attachment collar 5.
- Such an arrangement is also advantageous in that it makes it easier to see whether the frangible bridges 30 have already been broken by the first opening of the stopper 1 since, once the frangible bridges 30 have been broken and that, consequently, the lower ring 9 is no longer connected to the stopper 9 except via the hinge device 10, the lower ring 9 tilts forwards, thus facilitating the observation of the breached nature of the opening .
- the lower ring 9 can thus have, outside the front zone, a height greater than the spacing between the support collar 4 and the attachment flange 5, which makes it possible to limit the dimensions of the interstices provided between the cap 1 and the lower ring 9 and capable of allowing the passage of dust.
- the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 also has special features making it possible to facilitate the passage of a part of the second sector 17 from one side to the other. another of the attachment collar 5 during the movement of the second sector 17 between the lowered position and the raised position.
- the second sector 17 of the lower ring has two recesses 32 which are formed in the internal face of said second sector 17. The recesses 32 extend respectively from a central zone of the second sector 17 to at one and the other of the two ends of said second sector 17.
- the recesses 31 extend from the lower edge of the lower ring to an upper portion of the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 which is intended to face the attachment collar 5 when the second sector 17 is in the lowered position. These recesses 31 aim to locally reduce the thickness of the second sector 17 in order to facilitate its passage on either side of the attachment collar 5 while maintaining sufficient resistance to tearing.
- the central zone of the second sector 17 has no recess, which allows the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 to retain sufficient rigidity to allow reliable operation of the locking device described below.
- the hinge device 10 comprises two slats 11, 12, particularly visible in Figures 1 and 4, which connect the cap 1 and more particularly the outer peripheral skirt 14 of the cap 1 to the lower ring 9, and more particularly to the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9.
- the slats 11, 12 are symmetrical to each other with respect to a plane of symmetry P, represented in FIGS. 11 and 12, which is vertical and passes through the X axis.
- the slats 11, 12 join the outer peripheral skirt 14 in a notched portion.
- the slats 11, 12 advantageously join the second sector 17 of the lower ring 2 in a notched portion.
- the slats 11, 12 extend substantially above the lower limit of the outer peripheral skirt 9 and extend substantially below the upper limit of the lower ring 3.
- the locking device comprises a heel 22, particularly visible in Figure 1 which is formed in the outer peripheral skirt 14 of the plug 1.
- the heel 22 projects axially downwards, that is to say in the direction of the lower ring 9, from the outer peripheral skirt 14 of the cap 1.
- the heel 22 protrudes between the two slats 11, 12.
- the heel 22 comprises a cleat 23 which extends circumferentially between the two slats 11, 12 and which projects radially outward from the heel 22.
- the locking device also comprises a projecting portion 24 which projects axially upwards, that is to say towards the outer peripheral skirt 14 of the cap 1, from the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9.
- the projecting portion 24 also projects between the two slats 11, 12.
- the cleat 23 and the projecting portion 24 are arranged such that, when the cap 1 is in the open tilted position, the projecting portion 24 is sandwiched between the cleat 23 and the attachment flange 5. In other words, when the cap is in the open tilted position, the cleat 23 and the projecting portion 24 are in contact against each other in a zone located in the plane of the attachment flange 5 and the projecting portion 24 is also in contact against the attachment flange 5.
- the contact zone of the cleat 23 with the projecting portion 24 is placed at a radial distance e1 from the intersection between the line passing through the upper ends of the slats 11, 12 and the plane of symmetry P and the zone of contact of the projecting portion 24 with the cleat 23 is placed at a radial distance e2 from the intersection between the straight line passing through the lower ends of the strips 11, 12 and the plane of symmetry p.
- the dimension e1 is such that e1 > L - e2, with L: the length of the slats 11, 12, in the initial state, when the stopper is in the closed position. This ensures that the cleat 23 comes into contact against the projecting portion 24 and that the slats 11, 12 are stressed in tension when the plug 1 is in the open tilted position.
- e1 L - e2 + e3 + e4+ A with A between 0.05 and 2 mm, and determined so that the protruding portion 24 comes into contact against the attachment flange 5 when the cap 1 is in the open tilted position.
- the upper edge of the contact surface of the catch 23 extends axially below the upper end of the slats 11, 12 by a distance d1
- the upper edge of the projecting portion 24 extends axially above the lower end of the slats 11, 12 by a distance d2
- the upper edge of the attachment flange 5 s extends axially above the lower end of the slats 11, 12 by a distance d3.
- the distance d1 is less than d2 and d3.
- stopper 1 The kinematics of stopper 1 is as follows. During the first unscrewing, the cap 1 leaves the closed position and moves away from the lower ring 9 to the released position, illustrated in figure 3. The frangible bridges break during this movement. In addition, during this movement of unscrewing the cap 1, the lower ring 9 is rotated around the axis X and the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 pivots towards the raised position as the cap 1 moves away from the attachment collar 5.
- the cap 1 can then be pivoted rearward towards the open tilted position in which the outer peripheral skirt 14 extends upwards from the upper wall 13.
- the cleat 23 bears against the projecting portion 24 and thus causes the pivoting of the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 from the raised position to the lowered position.
- the stretching possibilities of the slats 11, 10 together with the aforementioned characteristics of the locking device make it possible to create a hard point when the stopper 1 is tilted between the released position, shown in FIG. 3, and the tilted open position. , shown in Figures 4 and 5.
- the slats 11, 12 and the locking device are configured such that, during a first part of the movement of the plug 4 from the released position to the tilted position open, the two elastic blades 28, 29 are, due to the support of the cleat 23 on the projecting portion 24, subjected to a tensile force which increases to an intermediate unstable position then which decreases from said intermediate unstable position to the open tilted position. This makes it possible to block the cap 1 in the open tilted position.
- the cap 1 remains in its open tilted position since, due to the aforementioned arrangement, the cap 1 cannot be pivoted towards the released position in which the cap 1 is facing the orifice 3 of distribution as long as the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 remains in the lowered position.
- the opening angle of the cap 1 is greater than 120° and advantageously , greater than or equal to 145° and for example of the order of 180°.
- the opening angle corresponds to the salient angular sector which is formed at the intersection between a plane parallel to the upper wall 13 of the cap 1 and a horizontal plane.
- the user tilts the cap 1 forwards to the released position. During this tilting, the contact between the cleat 23 and the projecting portion 24 disappears, which allows the movement of the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 towards the raised position.
- the entire closure device is molded in a single piece of synthetic material, such as polyethylene and advantageously high density polyethylene.
- the stopper device is molded in the configuration of FIG. 1, that is to say in a closed position, a position in which it can be mounted directly on the neck 2 of the container.
