<p>This invention relates to an improved design for the tear handle of a tamper evident closure. Specifically, the invention relates to a design for a closure tear handle (28) which prevents damage to the closure tear skirt (24) under large application forces when the closure is applied to the bottle; this invention also provides a tear skirt which is easier for consumers to remove. A weak region (46) is placed at the base (38) of the intersection of the tear handle (28) and the wall of the tear skirt. This weak region (46) of the closure is designed such that upon contact with the neck finish of a bottle, which puts the tear skirt into tension, it attracts the tensile forces and relieves stress from the adjacent weak point (42) of the closure tear skirt to prevent damage to this area that would be offensive to consumers and result in wasted product.</p> |
