Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006026836A1] A moulded closure for a blow moulded bottle of the type in which drinks, sauces and shampoos are sold has two parts. The screw cap (14) has an integral nozzle and a tamper proof band (24) connecting it to the bottle neck. The nozzle is covered by a cover (36) hinged to a ring (38) which is captive to the screw cap. The ring is free to rotate beneath a projecting bead (32) on the screw cap and the hinge (46, 48) flexes to allow arcuate displacement of the cover to one side of the nozzle and an integral tongue (46 )allows the user to park the cover at 120° to the nozzle. Tongue (46) arrests the cover at 160° to the nozzle when the user tilts the cover further open and tongue (46) snaps over the bead (32). The cover (36) is attached to the ring (38) initially by frangible bridges (42) so that the ring acts as a second tamper proof band.
