<p>A tamper-indicating child-resistant package includes a container (14) havinga finish (18) with an open mouth (20) and an external circumferential bead (26)spaced from the mouth. A closure (12) has a skirt (30) for externally encirclingthe container finish, a tamper band (36) frangibly connected to the skirt forpositioning beneath the external circumferential bead on the container finish,and a spring element (42) for engaging the finish and biasing the closure awayfrom the finish. The finish and the skirt have interlocking elements (22,24,32,34)that resist removal of the closure from the finish absent force against the springelement to disengage the interlocking elements. Engagement of the tamper bandwith the external circumferential bead ruptures the frangible connection ofthe band to the skirt upon first removal of the closure from the container finishto indicate potential tampering with the package.</p> |
