A tamper-indicating closure (14 or 70 or 72 or 84) includes a one-piece integrally molded plastic closure shell having a base wall (26) with a peripheral skirt (28) and at least one internal thread (30) for securing the closure to a container. A seal ring (32 or 76 or 88) includes a cylindrical first portion (34 or 80 or 92) coupled to the base wall radially inwardly of the skirt and a frustoconical second portion (36 or 82 or 90) extending radially inwardly from a free edge of the first portion. The second portion of the seal ring is adapted to fold upwardly and outwardly toward the first portion upon engagement with a container finish. A tamper-indicating band (50) is frangibly connected to an end of the skirt spaced from the base wall. A stop flange (56) extends axially and radially inwardly from a free end of the band for abutment with a stop bead (24) on the container finish (18). The stop flange is circumferentially continuous adjacent to the band, and has a free edge spaced from the band with slots (58) separating the free edge into separately flexible portions. <IMAGE> |
