Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0589254A1] A tamper-proof closure for containers or the like comprises a cap part (1) which can be fixed on the container neck and has a tamper-proof ring (2) attached via a multiplicity of webs (3) distributed over the circumference. The webs (3) are tearable in the case of a relative movement between the cap part (1) and the tamper-proof ring (2), said tamper-proof ring (2) having first projection means (13) which, during the initial fixing of the closure on the container neck (6), move into a position engaging below a radial annular collar (14) on the container neck in order to prevent movement of the tamper-proof ring (2) away from the container. Second projection means (15) provided on the tamper-proof ring (2) can be brought into contact with a surface (16) of the annular collar (14) facing away from an engaging surface when the first projection means (13) have moved into the position engaging below the annular collar (14) in order to limit the movement of the tamper-proof ring (2) in the direction away from the cap part (1). The axial spacing between the first and second projection means (13, 15) is such that the annular collar (14) can be received with basically free axial movement between the first and second projection means (13, 15). <IMAGE>
