Description
Tamper Evident Cap The present invention relates to a cap and in particular, although not exclusively, to a tamper evident cap for a container fox a pourable substance.
It is often necessary to provide an indication that a container has been opened. Such an indication rnay be provided by a device such as .a security seal, the removal of which may indicate fraudulent tampering of the container contents. Such a device may -also ensure that a container which has been used for the first time is clearly identifiable; this may be important : if the contents have a limited shelf life once opened to the atmosphere.
It is known to provide such an indication by using a frangible split. ring on a container cap. When complete, the ring inhibits removal of the cap. Once the ring has been manually removed the user, retailer of supplier has an indication that the container may have been opened:.The ring and cap arrangement may, therefore.provide a deterrent to tampering by third parties and may also act as a security seal.
Several problems are associated with known tamper evident security devices.
Firstly it is not always possible to immediately determine whether the ring has been removed from the cap. The consumer may for example not be aware that such a ring should be present. Even when the ring has been removed it may be later hidden, e.g. by a shrink v~nap sleeve. Secondly in the case of a removable split ring the cap can sometimes be prised off the container without complete removal of the ring. It may also be possible to reattach the ring, by for example welding or gluing, thereby removing the indication that the cap has been tampered with or removed.
A further problem associated with prior art caps is that it is not always possible to determine at a glance which container out of many has been opened and used.
This may have a significance in, for example, a doctor's surgery or in food preparation where certain products have limited shelf life once opened.
What is required is a tamper evident cap for a container for a pourable substance with an improved indication of possible tampering. It would also be desirable to provide a visible indication that the contents of a container have been dispensed.
According to the invention there is provided a tamper evident cap for a container for pourable substances, the cap comprising a pouring neck for attachment to the opening of a container, and a closure for the mouth of said neck, the neck comprising a substantially closed chamber surrounding a pouring aperture, the chamber having an opening for communication with said aperture and being adapted to define a well in the upright condition of the container wherein in use a pourable substance in the chamber is visible from the exterior thereof.
t~ device so arranged has the advantage that the pourable substance provides a visible indication that the: contents have been dispensed from the container. The pourable - . substance mayalso provide the indication that the' cap has teen tornpered with. It has been found that the.pourable substance in the well ciefined~ by the chamber is difficult.to remove. This has the advantage that oncev the indication vis made .it cannot be easily removed.
Typically the closure and the neck are provided with co-operating screw threads.
Preferably the closure has a female thread and the neck has a male thread.
Alternatively . the neck may be. provided with a snap fitting closure.
In a preferred embodiment the closure is adapted to prevent communication between the chamber and the aperture. A closure so adapted inhibits the pourable substance entering the chamber when the closure is located on the neck, thus obviating accidental entry of substance into the well by agitation, for example during transport and handling of the containers.
In a preferred embodiment this is achieved by providing the inner surface of the neck with a circular flange extending radially inwardly, and downwardly relative to the well.
It is often necessary to provide an indication that a container has been opened. Such an indication rnay be provided by a device such as .a security seal, the removal of which may indicate fraudulent tampering of the container contents.

This may have a significance in, for example, a doctor's surgery or in food preparation where certain products have limited shelf life once opened.
What is required is a tamper evident cap for a container for a pourable substance with an improved indication of possible tampering. It would also be desirable to provide a visible indication that the contents of a container have been dispensed.
According to the invention there is provided a tamper evident cap for a container for pourable substances, the cap comprising a pouring neck for attachment to the opening of a container, and a closure for the mouth of said neck, the neck comprising a substantially closed chamber surrounding a pouring aperture, the chamber having an opening for communication with said aperture and being adapted to define a well in the upright condition of the container wherein in use a pourable substance in the chamber is visible from the exterior thereof.
t~ device so arranged has the advantage that the pourable substance provides a visible indication that the: contents have been dispensed from the container. The pourable - . substance mayalso provide the indication that the' cap has teen tornpered with. It has been found that the.pourable substance in the well ciefined~ by the chamber is difficult.to remove. This has the advantage that oncev the indication vis made .it cannot be easily removed.
Typically the closure and the neck are provided with co-operating screw threads.
Preferably the closure has a female thread and the neck has a male thread.
Alternatively . the neck may be. provided with a snap fitting closure.
In a preferred embodiment the closure is adapted to prevent communication between the chamber and the aperture. A closure so adapted inhibits the pourable substance entering the chamber when the closure is located on the neck, thus obviating accidental entry of substance into the well by agitation, for example during transport and handling of the containers.
In a preferred embodiment this is achieved by providing the inner surface of the neck with a circular flange extending radially inwardly, and downwardly relative to the well.
The closure has a depending sleeve, the free end of the sleeve being adapted to abut against the flange to prevent said communication. In a preferred embodiment the free end of the sleeve has an annular surface corresponding to the angle of the downwardly projecting flange.
Preferably the free edge of the flange has a plurality of inwardly radially extending arms which meet at the middle, said arms defining holes which allow corilmunication through~the pouring aperture. Such arms tend to retain the shape and position of the flange.
Advantageously the well,: is circumferentially continuous and is. defined by a base, an external wall, an upper .wall and the wall ,of said .neck, said . outer. wall being transparent. In an alternative embodiment the outer wall is translucent.
to::hide the inner stTUCturevof the cap, providing always that the pourable substance is visible through the outer wall. The .degree : of translucence may for.:exarnple depend onv the colour of they pourable substance.
In a preferred embodiment a plurality of said openings,are provided, each being defmed~
between the upper wall and the wall of said neck. Preferably the upper wall is a continuously radial flange of said neck.
A neck so arranged has the advantage of being able to be moulded from two components of plastic.. The two components may thus. be welded or clipped-together to form the cap whilst defining the openings. The components may also be moulded from different types, colours and grades of plastic. This has the advantage of providing the necessary flexibility, rigidity or physical appearance of the given part as required for function or aesthetic design.
Advantageously the external wall has a skirt which extends below the base, said skirt having a snap fitting on the inside thereof, and adapted to provide a snap fit for . attachment to e.g. a neck of the opening of the container. Other means of secure attachment to a container are suitable, such as a one-way thread arrangement or a permanent fixing, such as by adhesive, welding or the like.

The snap fitting is adapted to provide the attachment to the opening of a container (not shown) and the recesses 27 provide a means of gripping the neck 10. Any suitable means of attaching the neck to. the container in a permanent manner is appropriate, for example a one-way screw attachment.
Figure 2 illustrates a collar according to the present invention, generally designated 30.
5 The collar 30 defines a mouth 32 and has a circumferential flange 34. The exterior surface of the collar 30 has a screw thread 36 and the interior surface of the collar 30 has a plurality of circumferentially spaced legs 38. The legs 38 also define the openings 24 illustrated in Figure 1 as will become apparent. The flange 34 is the upper wall of the well 12 illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 3 illustrates a closure according to , the present invention, generally designated 40. The closure 40 has an internal screw thread 42 which cooperates with the collar screw thread 36 illustrated in Figure 2b. The~closure 40 has a depending.sleeve 44 with a tapered free end 46. The exterior surface . of the closure has .a plurality.:of moulded°
:., recesses 48 to provide a gripping surface.
Figure 4 illustrates a tamper evident ,cap according to the present invention, generally designated 50. Figure 4aa:illustrates .the cap 50 which comprises fhe neck 1:0, the collar 30 and the cap 40. The free edge of the flange 34 and the exterior wall 16 of the neck 10 are welded 52 which substantially closes the well 12 to form a chamber 54 surrounding the neck 10. The openings 24 which communicate the chamber 54 with the aperture are defined between the flange 34 of the collar 30 and the inner wall 14 of the neck 10.
The closure 40 is adapted so that when it is screwed onto the collar 30 it prevents communication between the chamber and the aperture. This is achieved by the taper 46 which has an annular surface corresponding to the angle of the downwardly projecting flange 18. The taper 46 of the closure 40 is adapted to abut against the flange 18 of the neck 10 and pxovides a seal against the transfer of pourable substance to the chamber.
The cap 50 may be used with a container for a liquid or for pourable substance such as a granulated powder. During transit of the container the closure 40 prevents the pourable substance entering the chamber 54. When the closure 40 is removed from the mouth 32 of the neck 10 and the contents of the container are dispensed for the first time, by tipping the container, some of the pourable substance enters the chamber 54 and remains in the well 12 when the container is upright. The substance in the well 12 is visible through the transparent outer wall 16 and provides a clear indication that the contents have been dispensed from the container. The substance cannot easily be removed from the well 12 since any attempt at tipping the container results in the substance travelling around the circumference of the neck 10 within the well 12.
The diameter of the aperture may be between 6 - 15 times the width of the well 12. The height of the well 12 may be between 1 = 3 times the width of the well 12.
Whilst a preferred embodiment for the-device;has been described it will be~.appreciated that many other designs of. the neck exist that would have the desired,.effect of the ;
invention with the proviso hat. the pourable substance is visible through: the exterior .:
. wall of the well
Figure 3 illustrates a closure according to , the present invention, generally designated 40. The closure 40 has an internal screw thread 42 which cooperates with the collar screw thread 36 illustrated in Figure 2b. The~closure 40 has a depending.sleeve 44 with a tapered free end 46. The exterior surface . of the closure has .a plurality.:of moulded°
:., recesses 48 to provide a gripping surface.
Figure 4 illustrates a tamper evident ,cap according to the present invention, generally designated 50. Figure 4aa:illustrates .the cap 50 which comprises fhe neck 1:0, the collar 30 and the cap 40. The free edge of the flange 34 and the exterior wall 16 of the neck 10 are welded 52 which substantially closes the well 12 to form a chamber 54 surrounding the neck 10. The openings 24 which communicate the chamber 54 with the aperture are defined between the flange 34 of the collar 30 and the inner wall 14 of the neck 10.
The closure 40 is adapted so that when it is screwed onto the collar 30 it prevents communication between the chamber and the aperture. This is achieved by the taper 46 which has an annular surface corresponding to the angle of the downwardly projecting flange 18. The taper 46 of the closure 40 is adapted to abut against the flange 18 of the neck 10 and pxovides a seal against the transfer of pourable substance to the chamber.
The cap 50 may be used with a container for a liquid or for pourable substance such as a granulated powder. During transit of the container the closure 40 prevents the pourable substance entering the chamber 54. When the closure 40 is removed from the mouth 32 of the neck 10 and the contents of the container are dispensed for the first time, by tipping the container, some of the pourable substance enters the chamber 54 and remains in the well 12 when the container is upright. The substance in the well 12 is visible through the transparent outer wall 16 and provides a clear indication that the contents have been dispensed from the container. The substance cannot easily be removed from the well 12 since any attempt at tipping the container results in the substance travelling around the circumference of the neck 10 within the well 12.
