ABSTRACT:
An overcap for receipt on a jar in surrounding relation to a threaded closure cap of the jar and which when mounted prevents tampering with the closure cap and unauthorized entry into the jar interior. The overcap includes an upper surface overlying the closure cap and a skirt depending circumferentially therefrom. The skirt is radially spaced from the closure cap substantially along its length so that the overcap is free for rotational movement relative to the closure cap and cannot be frictionally coupled to the closure cap to effect removal of the latter. The overcap is provided with a pull tab defined by lines of weakness in the upper surface and skirt so that a pulling force on the tab will fracture the overcap from the closure cap and permit authorized access to the cap and opening of the jar.
