Abstract (en)

There is described an opening device (3, 3') for a package (1). The opening device (3, 3') comprises a collar (15) having a central axis (B) and delimiting a flow channel (16) extending between an inlet opening (18) of the collar (15) configured to allow entry of the pourable product into the flow channel (16) and a pouring outlet (19) of the collar (15) configured to allow exit of the pourable product from the flow channel (16) and a cutter (17) configured to break the separation membrane and being at least partially arranged within the flow channel (16). The opening device (3, 3') further comprises a retaining device configured to block movement of the cutter (17) out of the flow channel (16) and through the pouring outlet (19) by inducing a rotation of the cutter (17) about a rotation axis (E) transversal to the central axis (B). The retaining device comprises a retaining element (31) and an interaction element (32) configured to interact with one another so as to induce the rotation of the cutter (17) about the rotation axis (E).
