According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method and an apparatus for applying a dose of sealing material to a closing cap of a container to form a gasket are disclosed in which an annular dose is separated from a flow of plasticized material and is deposited on a base of the cap; the plasticized material is fed through a channel until it arrives at a material outlet extending along a circumferential direction; the annular dose comprises at least one differentiated portion whereby a radial section in the differentiated portion of the annular dose is different from a radial section in another portion of the annular dose where "radial" is understood to refer to an axis about which the annular dose extends in a circumferential direction; the presence of a differentiated portion decreases the risk of forming an air pocket between the sealing material and the caps."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 20, 2023, under International application No.PCT/IB2023/061670.
