This invention relates to closures for containers, and more particularly to tamper-evident closures for containers. One aspect of the invention provides a container and a closure for connection to said container, said closure including: an upper wall ( 102 ); a skirt ( 104 ) formed integrally with and extending downwardly from said upper wall, said skirt adapted to engage with a neck portion of the container to secure the closure to the container; a tamper-evident band ( 110 ) frangibly connected to said skirt; the neck of a container including a tamper bead adapted to engage with tabs ( 122 ) on said tamper-evident band to facilitate separation of the band ( 110 ) from the skirt of the closure and an inwardly and downwardly sloping container neck surface beneath said tamper bead, said inwardly and downwardly sloping surface urging said separated tamper-evident band downwards away from said skirt. |
