ABSTRACT:
This relates to a closure for containers wherein the closure is provided with a tamper indicating member. However, in lieu of the tamper indicating member being in the form of a continuous band which remains on the container neck after the closure is removed, the closure indicating member is of a limited circumferential extent filling a notch in a band extending from the closure skirt in lieu of a conventional tamper indicating band. This band does not interlock with the container. Only the tamper indicating member interlocks with the container, which container is provided with the normal tamper bead. The tamper indicating member is attached to the lower edge of the closure skirt by axial bridges and two opposite ends of the band by circumferential bridges. The bridges may all rupture when the closure is removed from the container with the tamper indicating member dropping out and leaving a readily observable notch in the band. On the other hand, one of the circumferential extending bridges may be made of sufficient strength so that the tamper indicating member remains attached to the closure, but its rupture from the remainder of the closure is obvious. If desired, the band may be attached to the closure skirt by a thin web so as to facilitate the tearing off of the band after the closure has been removed, thereby facilitating reclosure.
