TAMPER EVIDENT CLOSURE CAP AND COMBINATION COMPRISING THE SAID CLOSURE AND A CONTAINER

摘要

This invention relates generally to the field of tamper evident closure caps (1; 101) comprising a top panel (2) and a cylindrical skirt (3) depending from the periphery of the top panel (2) and to combinations of a closure cap (1; 101) and a container (20). According to the invention the closure cap (1; 101) comprises a tamper indicating band (4), frangibly connected to the open end (5) of the skirt (3), wherein the tamper evident band (4) at its lower edge (6) comprises at least one hingedly connected retaining element (7), which extends with its distal edge (8) radially inwardly and towards the top panel (2) when the cap (1; 101) is in the screwed on position. The retaining element (7) has at least one recess (9), forming a window or a hollow. The recess (9) is located in a distance (10) from the hinged connection (11) between the lower edge (6) of the tamper indicating band (4) and the retaining element (7) and is located in a distance (12) from the distal edge (8) of the annular retaining ring (7).
