1) CONSTRUCTING ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCED IN A
LID, characterized by comprising a cylindrical body (1), provided
with an articulated over-lid(2), said body being inserted under
pressure, in the inner part of the flask neck (G), where it will be
retained by the action of an annular spigot (3), provided in the lower
part of said body, which provides an area of interference with the
surface of the inner edge of said neck, being also helped by the
action of the element which constitutes the bottom of said lid, which
is presented in a form of a plan disk, in which surface trapezoidal
slits (5) will be made, which will be arranged in a circumferential
way, having sides slightly inclined with each other, said lid is
provided, immediately above the spigot, with a circumferential flap
(6), which acts as a stop for the higher edge of the neck, being also
provided a skit (7), which will cover externally the superior portion of
the neck, having aggregated to it, in a removable way, a breakable
strip (8) which constitutes the seal of the lid, the removal of which is
effected by means of a lug element (9), which when pulled,
promotes first the rupture of the points (10) and (11) and after that,
its rupture in relation to said skirt, which will happen along the low
resistance line (12), which joins the seal to the skirt, such skirt will
remain, even after the removal of said seal, in order to retain the lid
over the neck, being aided by its inner interference points (13), (14)
and (15), which will interact with the higher and lower surfaces of the
circumferential flap of lid and with a outer radial protuberance (P) of
the neck, respectively the closure of said lid being carried out

over-lid, which, besides guiding the insertion of the circumferential
ring in the interior in the higher edge (19) of the lid, to obtain the
waterproofing of the set, also promotes the flexibility of said plane
hinge, which will happen in two stages, on the first stage the hinge is
displaced in relation to the its joining line (20) with the
circumferential flap of said lid, and on the second stage it is
displaced in relation to its joining line (21) with the lower surface of
said over-lid, the retention of the over-lid, when of its closure, being
reached by the action of the ferrule (22) provided in the higher edge
of lid, which will interact with the circumferential bead (23) provided
on the lower surface of the over-lid, which will be arranged between
the inner circumferential ring of its lower surface and its outer
circumferential flap (24), which, when of the closure will bear on the
circumferential bead (25) provided on the higher surface of said
circumferential flap of lid, being that for the opening of the lid, it is
provided a plurality of triangular shoulders (26), provided in line, at
the higher portion of a frontal peripheral segment of the over-lid,

Fiask closure with hinged lid and tamper indicating element
This specification refers to a CONSTRUCTING
ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCED IN A LID, which will be used in
flasks in general, and more specifically in flasks containing edible oil,
and which is provided with means for detecting tampering of its
opening, thus assuring total integrity of its contents.
BACKGROUND OF THE ART
Various types of lids incorporating means capable of
identifying its tampering are already known in the prior art, and this
is usually obtained by the use of low resistance lines or small
frangible rods, which will break when opening the lid; however, all of
them present as the main inconvenience the fact that the breaking
elements can be, in some cases regenerated, most of the times
even in a quite simple way, thus allowing fraud practice against the
user.
On the other hand, the currently known lids in the prior art
which incorporate more effective means through seals formed from
removable strips; however such lids present as a disadvantage the
fact that, after removing the seal, when opening the lid, it is found
there are no means left which can help the retention of the lower
outer portion of the lid against the outer edge of the neck, since that,
in most of the times, this removable strip which constitutes the seal
is applied exactly on the lower part of the lid.
FUNDAMENTS OF THE MODEL
With the aim of overcoming all the inconvenience due to the
current techniques a CONSTRUCTING ARRANGEMENT
INTRODUCED IN A LID has been idealized, which comprises of a

inserted under pressure, in the inner part of the flask neck, where it
will be retained by the action of a annular spigot, provided in the
lower part of said body, which provides an area of interference with
the surface of the inner edge of said neck, being also aided by the
action of the element which constitutes the bottom of said lid, which
is presented in the form of a plane disk, on the surface of which
trapezoidal slits will be made, which will be arranged in a
circumferential way, having sides slightly inclined with each other,
said lid is provided, immediately above the spigot, with a
circumferential flap, which acts as a stop for the higher edge of the
neck, being also provided a skit, which will cover externally the
superior portion of the neck, having aggregated to it, in a removable
way, the breakable strip which comprises the seal of the lid, said
skirt will remain, even after the removal of the seal, helping to retain
the lid over the neck, due to its inner interference points, which will
interact with the higher and lower surfaces of the circumferential flap
of said lid and with an outer radial protuberance of the neck, the
closure of said lid will be carried out through an over-lid, by means
of a plane hinge, articulated with the aid of the appendix which is
formed on the back portion of the inner circumferential ring of the
lower surface of said over-lid, which, besides guiding the insertion of
the circumferential ring into the interior in the higher edge of the lid,
to promote the waterproofing of the assembly, will also promote the
flexibility of said plane hinge, which will happen in two stages, on the
first stage the hinge will be displaced in relation to the its joining line

the over-lid, the retention of the over-lid, when of its closure, is
reached by the action of the ferrule provided on the higher edge of
said lid, which will interact with the circumferential bead provided on
the lower surface of the over-lid, which will be arranged between the
inner circumferential ring of its lower surface and its outer
circumferential flap, which, when of the closure of the assembly, will
circumscribe a circumferential bead provided on the higher surface
of the circumferential flap of said lid, being that for the opening of
said lid, it is provided a plurality of triangular shoulders, provided in
line, at the higher portion of a frontal peripheral segment of the over-
lid, which is orthogonally projected, in relation with the periphery
thereof.
The CONSTRUCTING ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCED IN A
LID, currently proposed, can still provide, in a constructing variant,
the adoption of the element which constitutes the bottom of said lid
in the form of a conical disk, on the surface of which there will be
made inclined slits, arranged in a circumferential way.
