Abstract:
1. A cap comprising: (i) a cap body capable of being connected to a container, said cap body comprising an outlet opening therein; (ii) a lid for coupling with said cap body; (iii) a disposable sealing means sealing said outlet opening; and (iv) a locking means disposed on said cap body and said lid to lock said lid onto said cap body; wherein said locking means comprises: (i) a panel connected to said lid on at least a portion of a perimeter thereof, wherein at least one portion of said panel abuts at least a portion of a first surface of contact of said cap body when pressure is applied onto said panel and when said lid is in its closed position or when said lid is partly in contact with said cap body; (ii) at least one protrusion extending from a portion of said panel towards the inside of said lid for coupling with a slot provided in a portion of said perimeter of said cap body; and (iii) an elastically deformable material connecting said panel to said lid; wherein said panel rotates about an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis when pressure is applied thereto so that disengagement of said protrusion from said slot and abutting of said at least one portion of said panel onto said first surface of contact is achieved substantially simultaneously.
