Tamper-resistant closure.

摘要

The invention provides a container closure with a top, a skirt depending from the top, a tear-away tamper resistant band connected to the skirt by frangible means and a tear tab on the band arranged so that it is inclined upwardly and outwardly in order to ensure that when a container with a closure in position is being packed into a carton bottom end first the tear tab on the closure does not catch on the rim of the carton. Preferably the teartab is connected by a frangible tongue to a thumb push on the skirt and disposed immediately above the tear tab.
