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 TR closure of plastics material for application to a standard form of container with a projecting neck ring
  • the closure has a top, an annular skirt depending from the top, a TR band connected to the skirt by frangible means and an annular expandable or adjustable flap adapted when in operative position to engage with the underside of the neck ring of the container.
  • the flap is corrugated or pleated so that it can, if necessary, 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 skirt 8, a screw thread 9, and a TR band 10 connected to the bottom edge of the skirt 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 ring or flap 12 depending from the bottom of the band 10, the flap being internally corrugated at 13 and having a smooth external surface 14.
  • the cap 6 may be moulded in an injection moulding machine with the parts in the position shown in Figure 2, the cap may then be applied to the standard container 1 and then the flap 12 may be turned up into the position shown in Figure 4 so that the end of the flap 12 is disposed below the shoulder 5 of the neck ring 4.
  • the cap may be provided with a wad or liner 15 as shown in Figure 4 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 wad or liner 15 is fitted as a means for providing a seal between bottle and cap, then the inversion of the self-adjusting annular flip-over ring or flap can take place during the insertion of the wad or liner 15. By this means, no further secondary operations are required to prepare the cap 6 for screwing onto the mouth of the container 1.
  • the cap is made of Polypropylene or High Density Polyethylene.
  • the embodiment illustrated in Figures 5 to 7 differ from the embodiment illustrated in Figures 2 to 4 only in that the self-­adjusting annular flip over ring or flap 12 is corrugated not only internally at 13 but also externally at 16.
  • the corrugations illustrated in the two embodiments described give the flap 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.
  • TR closure in accordance with this invention may if desired be corrugated only on the outside with a smooth internal surface.
