ABSTRACT:
A safety closure is provided for threadingly engaging a neck portion of a container. The safety closure includes a cap portion and a tamper-indicating band connected to a lower end of a peripheral side wall of the cap portion by a plurality of frangible bridge segments. A cap lug projects downwardly from an outer surface of the cap portion and is sized to engage a band lug projecting upwardly from an outer surface of the tamper-indicating band. At least one bead segment projects inwardly from an inner surface of the tamper-indicating band and is sized to engage a continuous bead projecting outwardly from an outer surface of the container neck portion to prevent removal of the tamper-indicating band therefrom upon a first application thereto. Removal of the cap portion from the container neck portion a first time breaks the plurality of frangible bridge segments, thereby detaching the cap portion from the tamper-indicating band and permitting removal of the cap portion from the container neck portion, while retaining the tamper-indicating band on the container neck portion for subsequent use.
