What is described herein is a closing cap for a container, comprising a lateral wall extending around an axis and a transversal wall positioned at one end of the lateral wall, a separating line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring, which comprises a retaining portion which extends as far as a free edge of the retaining ring and is configured to internally engage with a locking ring of a neck of the container, and a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container. The separating line extends between a first end and a second end and is circumferentially interrupted to leave the closing element and the retaining ring joined. An incision line is provided on the lateral wall between the separating line and the free edge. The cap additionally comprises a tab, configured to rest on the neck when the closing element is in an open condition, and a pair of movement bands, that is to say, a first movement band and a second movement band which are defined between the separating line and the incision line and a pair of hinge bands, that is to say, a first hinge band and a second hinge band, which extend from the first movement band and from the second movement band towards the transversal wall, the tab being circumferentially interposed between the first hinge band and the second hinge band.

Cap for container

Described is closing cap for a container comprising a lateral wall extending about an axis, a separation line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring, which comprises a retaining portion which extends up to a free edge of the retaining ring and is configured to engage internally with a ring for locking a neck of the container in such a way as to remain anchored to the neck, and a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container rotating the closing element about the axis. The separation line is circumferentially interrupted to define in the lateral wall a joining zone in which the retaining ring and the closing element are joined. The cap comprises in addition an incision line, which is also provided on the lateral wall to define, in association with the separation line at least a first connecting band and a second connecting band for connecting together the joining zone and the retaining portion. The incision line comprises a pair of lateral stretches wherein a first lateral stretch defines, with a first part of the separation line, the first connecting band and a second lateral stretch defines, with a second part of the separation line, the second connecting band. The lateral stretches differ in angular extension to define connecting bands of different lengths, the angular difference between the longest lateral stretch and the other lateral stretch being greater than or equal to 5&#xb0; and less than or equal to 45&#xb0;.
