Abstract:A closure cap and method of making the same wherein an annular or ring-shaped gasket is injection molded onto the inner surface of a cap shell formed of plastic or metal. The annular or ring-shaped gasket includes radially extending tabs integrally formed therewith, one of said tabs being formed at a location wherein the plastic melt is fed to an annular gasket-forming channel in a mold core and another of said tabs being formed at the location wherein plastic melt is discharged from said channel. Preferably, said other tab includes a cold well formation which communicates with the annular gasket through a connecting portion of reduced cross-sectional area with respect to the cross-sectional areas of both the gasket and the cold well formation.

Abstract:A closure cap and method of making the same wherein an annular or ring-shaped gasket is injection molded onto the inner surface of a cap shell formed of plastic or metal. The annular or ring-shaped gasket includes at least one radially extending tab integrally formed therewith. A channel in the working surface of a mold core cooperates with the inside surface of the cap to form a mold cavity having the shape of the gasket to be formed therein. The cavity includes a melt inlet and a melt outlet which is in flow communication with a cold well through a connecting portion of reduced cross-sectional area with respect to the cross-sectional areas of both the gasket-defining mold cavity and the cold well.
