Abstract (en)

A reservoir cap (1) configured to be coupled to a neck (4A) of a container (4) at its opening (5), comprising a body (3) having a cup-shaped portion (9) closed at its bottom by a breakable wall (31), the first body (3) comprising at least one sealing element (32) with said neck (4A), the cap also comprising a cutter (2) provided with a head (20) from which extends a cylindrical surface (21) which is internally hollow that, when coupled to the cup-shaped portion, forms together with at least a part of the cup-shaped portion (9) a reservoir (S) for said product (10), the cutter sliding in a sealed manner inside the cup-shaped portion (9) and comprising a cutting surface (24) of the breakable wall (31) formed at a free end (22) of the cylindrical surface, the cup-shaped portion (9) being configured so that, when the cap is placed on the container (4) and the product is in the reservoir (S), the cutter (2), pushed with force against the breakable wall (31) thereof, at least partially separates the breakable wall from the cup-shaped portion (9) which causes the introduction of said product by fall into the container (4), characterised in that from the head (20) of the cutter (2), internally to the cylindrical surface (21), protrudes an elongated element (50) made of a thermoplastic material that absorbs moisture, the elongated element being configured so as to form a hollow space between its surface and that part of the cylindrical surface (21) facing the elongated element (50).
