Cap (1) for closing a container comprising a neck delimiting an opening, said cap (1) extending along a central axis (A) and comprising:
a body part (2) molded from a thermoplastic material and including a top wall (5) and a skirt (15),a grip part (30) overmolded at least partly around the central axis (A), onto a part of the body part (2), from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which is softer than the thermoplastic material of the body part (2),wherein the grip part (30) is overmolded only onto a part of an outer surface (18) of the skirt (15), the grip portion being delimited along the central axis (A) by a top edge (32) arranged at a distance from the top wall (5), and a bottom edge (31) spaced apart from the top edge (32) towards a free end (16) of the skirt (15). |

1. Cap (1; 1′; 1″; 1′″, 1″″) for closing a container comprising a neck finish delimiting an opening, said cap (1; 1′; 1″; 1′″) extending along a central axis (A) and comprising:
a body part (2; 2′) molded from a thermoplastic material, such as a polyolefin, preferably a polyethylene (PE) or a polypropylene (PP), more preferably from high density polyethylene (HDPE), said body part (2; 2′) including a top wall (5) transverse to the central axis (A), and a skirt (15; 15′) extending around the central axis (A) from the top wall (5) towards a free end (16), said skirt (15; 15′) having an inner surface (17) defining a housing (10) for accommodating the neck finish of the container, and an outer surface (18) opposite to the inner surface (17), a grip part (30) overmolded at least partly around the central axis (A), onto a part of the body part (2; 2′), from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), said thermoplastic elastomer being softer than the thermoplastic material of the body part (2; 2′), said cap (1; 1′; 1″; 1′″, 1″″) being characterised in that the grip part (30) is overmolded only onto a part of the outer surface (18) of the skirt (15; 15′), the grip part (30) being delimited along the central axis (A) by a top edge (32) arranged at a distance from the top wall (5), and a bottom edge (31) spaced apart from the top edge (32) towards the free end (16) of the skirt (15; 15′). |
