ABSTRACT:
A container closure molded from plastics material has a top, an annular skirt depending from the top and formed with a screw-threaded on its internal surface, and a tamper-evident ring connected to the bottom edge of the skirt by frangible bridges. The radially inner surface of the ring is formed with wedge-shaped inwardly projecting protrusions for engaging under a security band on the neck of a container. An annular groove is formed on the radially-outer surface of the ring at a location axially between the upper ends of the protrusions and the bridges, and serves to form a hinge in an advantageous method of molding the closure.
