Composite cap including tamper indicating band

Details

Inventors: Marshall, F. Paul; Lecinski, Frank H.; Begley, Douglas G.;
Assignee: Continental White Cap, Inc. (Norwalk, CT)

This relates to an improved tamper band construction for use in conjunction with closure caps for locking beneath a retaining bead on a container neck finish when the closure cap is removed to indicate rotation of the closure cap. The tamper indicating band is provided with a plurality of flaps which are initially molded in a radially inwardly, axial downwardly directed position and then are folded upwardly to radially inwardly and axially upwardly directed positions where they are engagable beneath a container retaining bead. Most particularly, the plurality of flaps are joined in groups by connecting bridges so that each group of flaps pivot as a unit with the connecting bridges stretching and providing an over center snapping action to retain the flaps in their operative positions after they are folded to such positions. By providing a plurality of individual flaps which are joined together only by the relatively narrow connecting bridges, washing of the container beneath the closure cap to remove excess product is facilitated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A tamper indicating band for a closure, said band being provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced adjacent fingers extending radially inwardly and axially upwardly for engagement below a retaining bead of a container, said band being improved by said fingers being joined in groups by connecting bridges.
2.
A tamper indicating band according to claim 1 wherein there are at least three of said fingers in each of said groups.
3.
A tamper indicating band according to claim 1 wherein said connecting bridges are stretchable to permit individual flexing of fingers in each group.
4.
A tamper indicating band according to claim 1 wherein said fingers have free tips for engaging a retaining bead, and said connecting bridges are located adjacent said tips.
5.
A tamper indicating band according to claim 1 wherein said groups of fingers have spaces therebetween, and said tamper indicating band has radially inwardly directed nibs radially aligned with said spaces for engaging radially directed ribs on a container to restrict rotation of said temper indicating band relative to a container.
6.
A tamper indicating band according to claim 1 wherein said band is of a molded construction and as molded said fingers extend radially inwardly and axially downwardly, and said connecting bridges form over center resilient snapping means for retaining said fingers in said radially inwardly and axially upwardly directed position once said fingers are moved to said radially inwardly and axially upwardly directed position.
7.
A tamper indicating band according to claim 1 wherein said fingers have hinged connections with said band, and said fingers are spaced apart adjacent said hinged connections for facilitating washing of a filled container to remove excess product.
8.
A tamper indicating band according to claim 1 wherein an upper edge of said band has rupturable bridges for connection to a closure cap member.
9.
A tamper indicating band according to claim 1 wherein an upper edge of said band has rupturable bridges for connection to an overcap
