The closure cap for sealing a container has an inner skirt shaped and sized to fit externally and to be secured onto the neck of the container. The cap also has an outer skirt projecting from the inner skirt. This outer skirt extends over the inner skirt at a given distance from same, thereby defining a gap there between. The outer skirt is made of a material that is resiliently flexible and can be deformed when an external pressure is applied onto its external surface. The cap further has a foldable cover shaped and sized to close the neck of the container. This cover has a peripheral edge attached to the outer skirt by a hinge. A snap having one part integral to the upper portion of the other skirt and another part integral to the cover is provided for releasably locking the cover in a closed position when it is folded down over the neck of the container. The one part of the snap that is integral to the upper portion of the outer skirt is positioned and devised to move and disengage the other part of the snap means and thus release the cover, when external pressure is applied at a suitable location onto the external surface of the outer skirt.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A closure cap for sealing a container having an opening surrounded by a neck, said cap comprising:a) an inner skirt shaped and sized to fit externally onto the neck, said inner skirt having an upper portion and a lower portion;b) attachment means integral to the inner skirt, said attachment means cooperating with corresponding attachment means provided onto the neck for securing the inner skirt onto said neck;c) an outer skirt having an upper portion, a lower portion and an external surface, said outer skirt extending over the inner skirt at a given distance from the same, thereby defining a gap therebetween, said outer skirt being of a given thickness and having its upper portion connected to the upper portion of the inner skirt by a peripheral transversal wall;d) a cover shaped and sized to close the opening of the container, said cover having a peripheral edge attached to the outer skirt by a hinge and being foldable up and down about said hinge above the peripheral wall; ande) snap means having one part integral to the upper portion of the outer skirt and another part integral to the cover, respectively, for releasably locking the cover in a closed position when it is folded down over the neck of the container,wherein said outer skirt and said peripheral wall are made of a material that is resiliently flexible and can be deformed when external pressure is applied onto the external surface of said outer skirt,wherein said snap means is located on the cap in an opposite position with respect to the hinge of the cover; andwherein the one part of the snap means that is integral to the upper portion of the outer skirt extends above the peripheral wall and projects towards the hinge in such a manner as to engage the other part of the snap means when the cover is in the closed position,where by when the external pressure is applied onto the external surface of the outer skirt underneath said snap means, said outer skirt is deformed both laterally and vertically and causes the one part of the snap means to swivel outwardly, to disengage from the other part of the snap means and thus to release the cover while simultaneously pushing said cover up to open and pivot about the hinge.
