Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0899204A1] The container has a large-diameter neck (5), typically between 4 and 20 cm, and a lid with a skirt having an internal thread matching that (9a,9b,9c) on the container neck. The neck has a zone (21) with a series of notches (22) separated by projections (24), and the lid has a tamperproof ring which is connected to its skirt by bridges that are broken when the ring is first removed to allow the lid to be opened. The projections and notches on the container neck engage with teeth on the inside of the tamperproof ring and fix it in position so that the bridges break when the lid is unscrewed. In addition, the rim of the container has an inclined lip to receive a seal which has to be opened on first use.
