20080223813 | Tamper-indicating closure and container - A tamper-indicating package includes a container having a neck finish with at least one external thread segment, at least two angularly spaced sets of external ratchet teeth spaced from the thread segment and a circumferentially extending radial enlargement between the two sets of ratchet teeth. A closure includes a skirt with at least one internal thread segment engaging the external thread segment on the container neck finish, a tamper band frangibly connected to the skirt, and a circumferential array of internal engagement elements on the tamper band for engaging the ratchet teeth on the neck finish to prevent rotation of the tamper band with respect to the ratchet teeth and thereby sever the tamper band from the closure skirt upon first unthreading of the closure from the container neck finish. The circumferentially extending radial enlargement between the sets of ratchet teeth is slidably engaged by the engagement elements on the tamper band to prevent ovalization of the tamper band between the sets of ratchet teeth. | 09-18-2008 |
