    摘要: Described is a cap for a container, a combination of a closing cap for a container and a neck of the container and a relative method for making the cap for the container.
    The cap comprises a lateral wall extending about an axis and a transversal wall positioned at one end of the lateral wall, a separation line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring, which is configured to remain anchored to a neck of the container and which extends up to a free edge; a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container; the separation line extends about an axis and being circumferentially interrupted to leave the retaining ring and the closing element joined; wherein the retaining ring comprises a joining portion at which the retaining ring is joined to the closing element; a first connecting band, which extends from a first end zone of the joining portion to the retaining portion, and a second connecting band, which extends from a second end zone of the joining portion, the second end zone being positioned circumferentially on the opposite side to the first end zone; a tab, interposed between the first connecting band and the second connecting band and being protruding, or aligned with respect to it, so that, when the closing element is in an open condition and the connecting bands keep the closing element connected to the retaining ring, the tab can rest on the neck. A method is also provided for making the cap in a cutting unit.

    摘要: A method for inspecting an object made of plastic material and including at least one layer to be inspected, comprises the following steps: positioning the object in an inspection zone (Z); irradiating the inspection zone (Z) with electromagnetic radiation emitted by an emitter (2); detecting, with a 5 sensor (3), an absorption of the electromagnetic radiation by the layer to be inspected and accordingly generating an absorption signal (301) representing the absorption of the electromagnetic radiation by the layer to be inspected; processing the absorption signal (301) in a control unit (6) and generating inspection data accordingly. The electromagnetic radiation 10 includes X-rays.

    摘要: A cap for a container is provided and a related method for making the cap. The cap comprises a side wall extending about an axis and a transversal wall arranged at an end of the side wall, a separation line being provided on the side wall for defining: a retaining ring, which is intended to remain anchored to a neck of the container and is configured to internally engage with an enlargement of the neck; and a closure element which can removably engage the neck, so as to open or close the container. The separation line extends about the axis and is circumferentially interrupted so as to leave a joining portion, between the retaining ring and the closure element, which extends circumferentially for a respective angle, the cap further having an incision line which extends transversally to the axis between the separation line and a free edge of the retaining ring, so that two connecting bands are defined between the separation line and the incision line, the two connecting bands joining the retaining ring to the joining portion. The connecting bands are deformable and the joining portion is externally provided with a projection which projects from the joining portion and is positioned between a separation plane in which the separation line lies and the incision line so that, when the closure element is in the open position and the connecting bands keep the closure element connected to the retaining ring, an edge of the joining portion which, in the closed position, faces the retaining ring, is facing, in the open position, towards a rim of the neck and the projection is resting on the neck in said open position.

    摘要: A cutting method and apparatus for closures of the “tethered” type are disclosed, in which a spindle that carries a closure is moved to a cutting device with one or more horizontal blades and at least one vertical or oblique blade. During cutting, the spindle rotates and the closure rolls on the cutting device. The spindle, which is fed several times to the cutting device carrying each time a different closure, comprises a portion made of a softer material than the blades so that during cutting the blades penetrate the material of the closure and then sink into the softer portion of the spindle. Feeding the spindle that carries the closure to the cutting device is coordinated with rotation of the spindle so that the vertical or oblique blade, each time that the spindle is fed to the cutting device, always meets the same zone of the softer portion of the spindle.

    摘要: A cap for a container comprises a lateral wall extending around an axis and a transversal wall arranged transversally to the axis, a separating line being provided on the lateral wall to define: a retaining ring intended to remain anchored to a neck of the container, and a closing element removably engageable with the neck to open or close the container. The separating line extends around the axis and is circumferentially interrupted for defining a joining portion which joins the retaining ring and the closing element.
    The cap further has an incision line which extends in the lateral wall, transversally to the axis, so that the separating line is axially interposed between the retaining ring and the incision line.
    Two connecting bands are defined between the separating line and the incision line to keep the closing element connected to the retaining ring.
