A tamper indicating package comprising a container (11) having a finish with external threads (15) thereon and a plastic closure (10) comprising a base wall (17) and a peripheral skirt (18). The closure has a tamper indicating band (20) connected to the skirt along a weakened line (21) and has at least one flange (20a) extending upwardly and inwardly for engagement with a retaining bead (16) on the container. The flange is hinged to the band along a first hinge (22) at one end extending circumferentially of the band and along a second hinge at an angle to the first hinge. The other end of the flange circumferentially spaced with respect to the second hinge is free such that when the closure is applied to the container the flange (20a) flexes over the retaining bead (16) on the container (11) until the free edge of the flange extends beneath the retaining bead on the container and when the closure (10) is rotated to remove the closure, the flange prevents the band (20) from being removed and causes severing of the band along the weakened line (21). |
