Abstract (en)
There is described an opening device (4) for a package (1) being filled with a pourable product and having a main body (2) provided with a designated pour opening (3). The opening device (4) comprises at least a base frame (10) for coupling the opening device (4) to the main body (2) and about the designated pour opening (3) and a covering membrane (11) rupturably connected to the base frame (10) along a weakening line (12) and configured to cover the designated pour opening (3). The weakening line (12) comprises a first end (13) and a second end (14) distinct and separated from one another. The covering membrane (11) is further connected to the base frame (10) along a tethering portion (15) extending between the first end (13) and the second end (14). The weakening line (12) and the tethering portion (15) are configured such that, in use, upon exertion of an opening force on the covering membrane (11), the covering membrane (11) separates from the base frame (10) along the weakening line (12) and remains attached to the base frame along the tethering portion (15).
