ABSTRACT:
A bottle cap has a tab formed with internal gripping features which engage mating features on the bottle neck to retain the cap in place until a portion of the skirt is torn. A tab extends from below the bottom edge of the cap. At least one vertical score lines extends up from the bottom edge of the skirt. In one form of the invention, there are two vertical score lines, one on each side of the tab and one preferably extending higher than the other. A rib is formed on either external side edge of the tab and extending partially upward on the exterior of the skirt. The tab angles outward relative to a downward projection of the skirt.
