The cap is mounted on the neck by a capsule carrying the applicator element and capable of directly ensuring closure of the container by the cooperation of a first screw thread provided on an inner surface of the capsule with a corresponding second screw thread provided externally on the neck of the container. The capsule also carries a seal adapted to cooperate with an edge of the neck when the capsule is placed on the container in the closed position. The cap is mounted on the capsule and connected to the capsule by a screw-type connection in the same direction as that of the first and second threads. The connection between the cap and the capsule offers less resistance than that between the capsule and the neck of the container. | |
