Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9625342A1] The invention relates to a container (10) with a screw cap (12) and an attached security ring (14) as a guarantee of original filling, in which several thin connecting webs (16) between the screw cap (12) and the security ring (14) are torn off at breaking points when the screw cap (12) is released and unscrewed for the first time. In the design of the invention, there are on the container and screw cap sides coresponding engagement components (cam projections (36), flexible tongues (34) which, when the screw cap (12) is gently screwed on, after about one revolution before it reaches its final sealing position and before the engagement components of the security ring (flexible tongues (34) are irremovably engaged behind the base projections (32), enter into mutual operative contact or a prelocking position such that the spontaneous unscrewing or release of the screw cap (12) is safely prevented, the screw cap (12) can be slightly further tightened by overcoming a certain holding force (corresponding to the spring force of the flexible tongues (34)).
