A SCREW CAP AND A SPORT CLOSURE CAP WITH INTEGRAL SEAL OPENING MEANS

摘要

An integral seal opening means within a sport closure cap (35) for containers (30), in which a tamper evident seal (45) with a reinforced rim secures the mouth opening. The closure cap holds a minimum of three protrusions (36), extending towards the seal (45), each having cutting edges of which the lower one is at a smaller radius. These protrusions engage with the tamper evident seal (45), when the cap (35) is rotated clockwise, thereby cutting off part of the seal rim and at the same time cutting three banana shape slots in the seal. For single serve beverage bottles with tamper evident seal and a sport closure, there is no need to unscrew the cap for opening the seal and getting access to the beverage. Initially the reinforced rim is used to prevent protrusions from acidentily opening the bottle seal. The opened seal remains in place while the sport closure is held onto the bottle.
