ABSTRACT:
A cap for a wide-mouth container has a short inner skirt and a longer outer skirt. The outer skirt has upper and lower internal locking beads which are preferably interrupted with gaps between bead sections. Above the lower locking bead is a circumferential score line. A portion of the outer skirt below the score line is cut away in a horizontal and then an arcuate slit to form a pull tab extending parallel to the score line. The pull tab is joined to the outer skirt by a frangible link. Various locations of said link are disclosed. The container neck is thin walled, having an internal top flange terminating in a first sealing surface which bears against the top of the inner skirt, a groove below the last-mentioned surface and a second sealing surface below the groove which also bears against the inner skirt. The neck also has upper and lower external beads each having shoulders on their lower edges under which the upper and lower internal locking beads of the cap seat. The neck curves outward in a lower shoulder immediately below the bottom edge of the skirt. The cap cannot be pried off with the fingers until the user grips the tab and tears off the portion of the outer skirt below the score line.
