ABSTRACT:
A container for use with tamper-evident closures, or tamper-evident child-resistant closures, having tamper-evident bands is provided. The container has threads for engaging corresponding threads on the tamper-evident closure. The container further has ramps for engaging tamper-evident elements on the tamper-evident band of the tamper-evident closure. The ramps hold the tamper-evident elements down while the closure is being rotated off of the container. Furthermore, the slant of the ramps actually serves to force the tamper-evident elements downward while the closure is rotated off. This greatly enhances the ease of removal of the tamper-evident closure, thus making the closure far easier to use, without sacrificing the important tamper-evident quality. Furthermore, the accelerated separation of the band from the closure enhances the tamper evidency features of the package by causing band separation upon distortion, before the closure/bottle seal is broken.
