ABSTRACT:
A bottle cap of the tear-off type, particularly an easy-to-open cap for wide mouth bottles, in which a central top wall which covers the top portion of the mouth of the bottle is connected to a lateral band which surrounds the opening of the neck of the bottle and is bent under the edge of the neck to grip the cap, while a tear-off tab, bounded by one or more score lines, extends from the top wall through the lateral band and an angular sealing gasket is interposed between the mount of the bottle and the top wall and the lateral band, respectively. The score line or lines are carried out approximately at the boundary line between the top wall and the lateral band and the angular sealing gasket is bonded to the innermost surface of the lateral band at a bond area outside the score line or lines, whereby, when the cap is broken by lifting the central top wall by means of the tear tab, the residual lateral bond appears L shaped and the angular sealing gasket is broken only at the tear tab.
The sealing gasket can also be bonded to the top wall at an extension of the bond area, bounded by the score line or lines towards the lateral bond, to make the breaking of the sealing gasket itself along with the tear tab easier at the time the opening of the cap is started.
