Abstract

A toy cap for a pouch is provided which comprises a closing body and a rotation structure projecting axially and terminating with a support to stand the toy cap up and impart manually to the toy cap a rotation around the main axis, so as to use the toy cap for a spinning top.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A toy cap for a container for beverages for children, such as juices, fruit purees, yogurts, and soft drinks, the toy cap comprising:
 a closure body comprising a tubular closure wall and a base, wherein said closure wall extends along a main axis between a lower end, where a mouth opening is provided for engagement with a spout of the container, and an upper end, closed by said base;   a rotation structure projecting axially with respect to the base, ending with a support to stand the toy cap up and impart manually to the toy cap a rotation around the main axis   wherein, once position of the barycenter of the toy cap is defined, and the rotation structure is placed on a ground plane in such a way that the main axis is orthogonal to the ground plane, a vertical distance is defined between the barycenter and the ground plane;   wherein, once an imaginary plane passing through the barycenter and orthogonal to the central axis is defined, a radial distance is defined on the imaginary plane between the barycenter and a peripheral end portion of the toy cap; and   wherein the radial distance is equal to or greater than the vertical distance.   
     
     
         2 . The toy cap of  claim 1 , wherein the rotation structure is tapered, suitable to stand the toy cap up in an unstable manner. 
     
     
         3 . The toy cap of  claim 1 , wherein said rotation structure is symmetrically formed around the main axis. 
     
     
         4 . The toy cap of  claim 1 , wherein said rotation structure is pointed. 
     
     
         5 . The toy cap of  claim 1 , wherein said rotation structure comprises a plurality of circumferentially arranged segments having a shape converging towards the main axis. 
     
     
         6 . The toy cap of  claim 1 , further comprising an annular outer wall extending around the main axis, said annular outer wall being continuous or composed of separate sections, and spaced radially externally from the closure wall so as to form a compartment inside the toy cap, open at the top and bottom, integral with said closure wall. 
     
     
         7 . The toy cap of  claim 6 , further comprising secondary graphic symbols arranged on an outer face of the outer wall circumferentially spaced to determine points of a game. 
     
     
         8 . The toy cap  claim 6 , further comprising
 at least one tab protruding radially externally from the outer wall, contained on an imaginary plane orthogonal to the central axis, and   primary graphic symbols for identifying points of a game, a primary graphic symbol being arranged on the lower face of each tab.   
     
     
         9 . The toy cap of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of lugs, each lug protruding radially from the wall closure and being substantially contained on an imaginary plane that contains the central axis. 
     
     
         10 . The toy cap of  claim 1 , further comprising a guarantee seal suitable to be torn off at least in one portion by unscrewing the toy cap from the container. 
     
     
         11 . A toy cap for a container for beverages for children, such as juices, fruit purees, yogurts, and soft drinks, the toy cap comprising:
 a closure body comprising a tubular closure wall and a base, wherein said closure wall extends along a main axis, between a lower end, where a mouth opening is provided for engagement with a spout of the container, and an upper end, closed by said base;   a rotation structure projecting axially with respect to the base, ending with a support to stand the toy cap up and impart manually to the toy cap a rotation around the main axis;   an annular outer wall extending around the main axis, said annular outer wall being continuous or constituted of separate sections, and spaced radially externally from the closure wall so as to form a compartment inside the toy cap, open at the top and bottom, integral with said closure wall.   
     
     
         12 . An assembly comprising:
 a flexible pouch with a spout; and   the toy cap of  claim 1  applied to said spout.
