Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with the provision of a tamper resistant (TR) cap or tamper indicating cap made of plastics material and specially adapted for application to a container of standard form provided with a neck ring, as shown for example under reference number G.F.304 in a pamphlet issued by the Glass Manufacturers Federation.
  • TR tamper resistant
  • ROPP roll on pilfer proof
  • a TR closure which includes a threaded cap and TR means having upwardly and inwardly folded spaced apart tabs which lock against the lower surface of an annular shoulder formed by the neck ring on the container.
  • TR means having upwardly and inwardly folded spaced apart tabs which lock against the lower surface of an annular shoulder formed by the neck ring on the container.
  • a disadvantage of the Kerr Glass proposal is that it may be possible to remove the cap from the container without breaking the TR means by inserting an implement into the gaps between adjacent tabs.
  • a plastics material tamper resistant closure which is for application to a container having a mouth, a neck and a projecting ring in the neck, and which closure comprises a top, an annular wall depending from the top, said top and annular wall forming a cap portion, and a tamper resistant band connected by frangible means to the lower edge of the wall, and an annular container skirt connected to the lower edge of the tamper resistant band, which skirt is adapted to be tucked from a downwardly relaxed position inwardly of the closure to a locking position to engage the projecting neck ring on the container to prevent removal of the cap portion until the frangible means is broken, and wherein the said skirt in its downwardly relaxed position extends from the lower edge of the band in an inwardly tapering manner so that it is of smaller diameter at its lower edge than at its upper edge where it is connected to said band to facilitate said inward tucking of the skirt when the closure is applied to the container, characterised in that the skirt
  • skirt can expand as the closure is being applied to the container and can then contract again so that it is properly seated in operative position.
  • a container 1 has a mouth at the top 2, a screw thread 3 around the mouth and a neck ring 4 below the thread 3 shaped to provide a shoulder 5.
  • a cap 6 has a top 7, a depending wall 8, a screw thread 9, and a TR band 10 connected to the bottom edge of the wall 8 by frangible tongues 11.
  • the cap 6 is of conventional construction, but in accordance with this invention the cap has an expandable or self-adjusting annular flip-over skirt 12 depending from the bottom of the band 10, in a tapered manner as shown, the skirt being internally corrugated at 13.
  • the cap 6 may be moulded in an injection moulding machine with the parts in the position shown in Figure 3, the cap may then be applied to the standard container 1.
  • the cap may be provided with a wad or liner 15 as shown in Figure 2 so arranged that the wad or liner 15 seats on the rim around the mouth of the container and so seals the contents of the container from coming into contact with the plastics material of which the cap is made.
  • the wad or liner 15 is compressed between the rim of the bottle and the inside of the cap so that a very effective seal is produced.
  • the inversion of the self-adjusting annular flip-over skirt can take place during the insertion of the wad or liner 15, but in any case as the skirt is of tapered, conical form as shown the said inversion is facilitated.
  • the cap is made of Polypropylene or High Density Polyethylene.
  • the corrugations illustrated give the skirt 12 a sufficient degree of adjustability to enable the annular flap easily to pass over the neck ring 4 on the container 1.
  • a standard form of container we mean a known form of container with a neck ring and substantially in accordance with Figure 1.
  • a tamper resistant cap we mean a cap that renders the assembly of cap and container resistant to tampering once the cap has been initially applied to the container because the cap cannot be removed without mutilating the cap which in turn gives evidence that the contents of the container may have been tampered with.
