Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble fermeture en plastique destiné à être placée sur un récipient. Cet ensemble fermeture en plastique comprend une cloison en plastique (36 ou 70 ou 76) comprenant une jupe (42) conçue pour être encliquetée sur un jonc extérieur (30) de la bague (24) du récipient, une pluralité de tenons intérieurs espacés de manière angulaire (48) sur la jupe de façon à être reçus dans des creux (32) sur le jonc de la bague afin d'empêcher la rotation de la cloison sur la bague et au moins un segment de filetage extérieur (52). Une fermeture en plastique (38 ou 77) comprend une jupe (58) pourvue d'au moins un segment de filetage intérieur (60) destinée à être vissée sur le segment de filetage extérieur de la cloison. Dans des modes de réalisation, le segment de filetage extérieur peut être disposé sur une surface extérieure de la jupe de la cloison ou sur la surface extérieure d'un bec tubulaire (50 ou 78) de la cloison. De préférence, la jupe de la cloison comprend un élément de rétention intérieur (46) encliquetée sur le jonc extérieur de la bague du récipient.
