TAMPER EVIDENT CLOSURE AND CONTAINER FOR RECEIVING TAMPER EVIDENT CLOSURE AND COMBINATION THEREOF

摘要

A container assembly comprising a container finish and a tamper evident closure in sealing contact. The tamper evident closure (10) having a lower tamper evident band (18) frangibly connected to an upper body portion (16) and inwardly protruding projections (22) positioned on the tamper evident band (18). The projections are configured to engage with corresponding retaining projections (30) on the outer surface of the container finish (28). Such engagement occurs when an axially rotational force is applied to the closure in an opening direction, resulting in the tamper evident band (18) rupturing from the upper body portion (16) before the sealing contact is broken.
