ABSTRACT:
A closure (10) is provided and includes a tamper-evident band (40). The band (40) has a plurality of retaining flaps (60) which engage under a container neck annular retaining bead (23) when the closure is first applied. The flaps have a ratchet surface (86a, 190) for engaging a complimentary surface on the container neck (20). The flaps also have spacer means (85a, 85b, 186) for pushing them into a more vertical inclination under the bead (23). The ratchet arrangement and spacer means ensure reliable separation of the tamper-evident band (40).
