ABSTRACT:
A tamper-indicating closure is used with an associated container having a finish including an external thread formation thereon, and an annular locking ring located axially under the thread formation. The closure includes a closure cap having a circular top wall portion and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. An internal thread is formed in the skirt and defines a skirt wall plane. The closure includes an annular tamper-indicating band depending from the cap that is detachably connected to the cap by a plurality of circumferentially spaced, tapered, frangible connectors extending between the band and the cap. The connectors taper to define a region adjacent to a juncture of the connector and the band having a cross-section that is smaller than a cross-section at a region of the connector adjacent to a juncture of the connector and the closure cap.
