Abstract

A cap assembly comprising: two caps (1) each pivotable about an axis of a respective pivot rod (2) between an open position and a closed position, the two pivot rods (2) arranged adjacent each other with parallel pivot axes (B) to define a hinge region (40), each cap having a pivot end (1a) extending into the hinge region between the two pivot rods (2); and a common pivot mechanism (50) arranged to push against the pivot ends (1a), in response to actuation of the pivot mechanism, to pivot the caps substantially simultaneously to the closed position, the common pivot mechanism comprising: a lever (4); a cam (8) in connection with the lever and located in the hinge region such that actuation of the lever (4) causes movement of the cam (8) in the hinge region along the direction of the pivot axes; a plunger (12) located in the hinge region between the cam (8) and the pivot ends (1a) of the caps (1) and in engagement with a cam profile surface of the cam, the cam profile having a first section (8a) that, when in engagement with the plunger causes the plunger (12) to push against the pivot ends (1a) of the caps (1) to pivot the caps to a closed position, and a second section (8c) that, when in engagement with the plunger (12) causes the plunger (12) to be out of engagement with the pivot ends (1a) of the caps such that a user can rotate the caps about the pivot rods (2) to an open position.
