TAMPER-INDICATING CLOSURE AND PACKAGE

摘要

A tamper-indicating closure includes a one-piece integrally molded plastic closure shell having a base wall with a peripheral skirt and at least one internal thread for securing the closure to a container. A seal ring includes a cylindrical first portion coupled to the base wall radially inwardly of the skirt and a frustoconical second portion 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 is frangibly connected to an end of the skirt spaced from the base wall. A stop flange extends axially and radially inwardly from a free end of the band for abutment with a stop bead an the container finish. The stop flange is circumferentially continuous adjacent to the band, and has a free edge spaced from the band with slots separating the free edge into separately flexible portions.
