The inner cap (14) further includes a tamper-indicating ring (35) depending from the lower edge of its skirt, the ring including a breakable connection (38) for detachably securing the lower portion thereof to the inner cap skirt (15). A plurality of tabs (44) extending upwardly and radially inwardly from the ring (35) to engage an annular shoulder (39) on the container during the removal of the closure to break the ring away from the inner cap skirt. </p> |
