TAMPER-RESISTANT CONTAINER WITH TAMPER-EVIDENT FEATURE

摘要

A tamper-resistant container with tamper evident feature which includes a cover portion (12) defining a outwardly extending peripheral flange (20), a base portion (14) defining an upper peripheral edge, and a hinge (16) joining the outwardly extending peripheral flange with the base portion. The upper peripheral edge includes an upwardly projecting bead (34) extending substantially about the perimeter of the base portion that is configured to render the outwardly extending flange of the cover portion relatively inaccessible when the container is closed. The hinge includes a frangible section (18), which upon severing, provides a projection (36, 38) that extends out beyond the upwardly projecting bead of the upper peripheral edge of the base portion, for facilitating removal of the cover portion from the base portion to open the container.
