Cap For The Neck Of A Container And Method For Producing One Such Cap

(57) Abstract

The invention relates to a cap for the neck of a container and to a method for producing one such cap. According to the invention, the skirt ( 12 ) of the cap ( 1 ) is provided with frangible bridge elements ( 44 A, 44 B) which break when the cap is first opened. In addition, on either side of the aforementioned frangible bridge elements, the skirt includes a non-removable part and a removable part provided with an outer biasing tab ( 24 ) that only extends along a peripheral portion ( 12 A) of the skirt. In order to limit the biasing force of the tab, so as to release the removable skirt part, the radial dimension (e 44A ) of the bridges ( 44 A) located in the skirt portion ( 12 ) associated with the tab is smaller than the radial dimension (e 44B ) of the bridges ( 44 B) located outside said portion.
