ABSTRACT:
A container closure assembly comprises a container neck, a closure for the neck and a tamper evident ring frangibly coupled to the closure and retained on the neck when the closure is removed from the neck, wherein the tamper-evident ring has a generally non-circular shape. Preferably, the tamper-evident ring is substantially polygonal, e.g. substantially square, with outwardly curved sides and arcuate corners. The tamper-evident ring is retained on the neck by hooks that abut against a shoulder on the container neck.
