Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0052804A1] A plastic screw-on closure adapted for use with containers has provision to indicate when the sealed container closure has been tampered with. The closure is made integrally and has a cap. A band (6) for application over the shoulder of a container (4), means (8) for connecting the cap and band and drive means (10) for controlling relative rotation of the cap and band as the band is applied over a shoulder on a container. The drive means provides engagement between the cap and band during application of the closure, thereby ensuring the integrity of the connecting means during application of the closure. However, the drive means is ineffective during removal of the cap, such that the connecting means fractures due to axial separation of the cap and band.
