A tamper-evident closure () for a container neck comprises a first portion (), a second portion () comprising a window () through which a view of the first portion is visible, a locking mechanism, and an RFID device () associated with the first portion (). The second portion () is rotatable relative to the first portion () upon first opening of the tamper-evident closure () from a first position in which the first and second portions () are in a first relative relation and the RFID device () is aligned with the window () and is readable, to a second position in which the first and second portions () are in a second relative relation and the RFID device () is masked by the second portion () and is not readable.

Tamper-evident closure comprising a RFID tag

A closure for a container neck comprises a shell and a fitment. The fitment comprises a body and engagement means that extend radially outwardly from the body and releasably retain the fitment within the shell. During application of the closure to the container neck, the engagement means is forced from an extended condition into a retracted condition to release the fitment from the shell, and the fitment is inserted into the container neck into an operative position.

Fitment for a container neck

A closure () for a container neck (), the closure () comprising a body () comprising a retention member () for retaining the body () on a container neck (). The body () defines a retention member disconnection line () that is severable to release the retention member ().

Closure for a container neck

A tamper-evident closure () for a container, the closure comprising: a shell comprising a first shell part (A) and a second shell part (B); and a tamper-evident overcap, the overcap comprising a cap (A) which is fixed to the exterior of the first shell part and a tamper-evident member (B) which is releasably connected to the cap (A) and releasably located around the exterior of at least part of the second shell part (B), such that the first and second shell parts (A,B) cannot be separated unless the member (B) is released, and thereafter the cap (A) is removable together with the first shell part (A).

Tamper-evident closure

A closure () is provided. The closure () comprises a body portion () having engagement means () for engagement with a container(), and a shell for engagement with the body portion (), wherein the shell comprises securing means () arranged in use to secure the engagement means () onto the container(). The container () may be a bottle. The body portion () may be a pourer fitment. The engagement means () may comprise at least one clip. The securing means () may comprise a bead.

Tamper evident closure

A security closurefor a container neckcomprises a bodyformed from a plastics material and a metal retention memberformed integrally with the body. The metal retention memberremains on the container neckfor retaining the bodyon the container neck. The metal retention membermakes it impossible or very difficult to remove the security closurefrom the container neckwithout breaking/damaging/destroying the container. The security closureand a container having a container neck, and a method of forming the security closureare also disclosed.

Security closure

A tamper-evident closure for a container. The closure comprises a first portion including inner and outer parts, and a second portion. The outer part is rotatable relative to the inner part from a first position in which at least part of the first and second portions are adjacent each other to a second position in which there is a gap therebetween. The first portion comprises a locking mechanism for irreversibly locking the closure in the second position upon first opening so that the gap cannot be closed, in which the first portion comprises a compressible stopper for sealing the second portion and/or the container. A tamper-evident closure in combination with a container.

A tamper-evident closure for a container comprises a shell having a break line along which it is separated during a first opening of the closure. The shell further comprises a first shell portion on one side of the break line, a second shell portion on the other side of the break line, and a distortable portion, which is distorted during the first opening of the closure. The distortable portion is spaced from and separate to the break line.

A tamper-evident closure for a container is provided. The closure comprises a first portion including inner and outer parts, and a second portion. The outer part is movable relative to the inner part from a first position in which at least part of the first and second portions are adjacent each other, to a second position in which there is a gap therebetween. The first portion comprises locking means for irreversibly locking the closure in the second position upon first opening so that the gap cannot be closed. The outer part includes a top plate and at least part of the locking means is carried on or by the plate.

A tamper-evident closure for a container comprises two or more parts and is movable from a first position to a second position in an opening event, the movement to the second position generating two or more gaps between and/or within the parts, the closure further comprising means for preventing closing of the gaps whereby to confirm the opening event has occurred.

A tamper-evident closure for a container comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being connected or connectable to the second portion and removable therefrom. The closure is movable upon a first opening from a first position in which the portions are in a first relative relation to a second position in which they are in a second relative relation. The closure comprises means for preventing the portions from returning to the first position. The closure comprises a removable retention member which attaches the first and second portions together such that the member must be removed before the portions can be separated from each other.

A tamper-evident closure for a container is provided. The closure comprises a first portion including inner and outer parts, and a second portion. The outer part is rotatable relative to the inner part from a first position in which at least part of the first and second portions are adjacent each other to a second position in which there is a gap therebetween. The first portion comprises locking means for irreversibly locking the closure in the second position upon a first opening so that the gap cannot be closed. The inner part includes a line of weakness which breaks if the outer part is reverse rotated relative to the inner part.

A tamper evident closure for a container is provided. The closure comprises a first portion including inner and outer parts, and a second portion. The outer part is movable relative to the inner part from a first position in which at least part of the first and second portions are adjacent each other to a second position in which there is a gap therebetween. The closure comprises locking means for locking it in the second position upon first opening so that the gap cannot easily be closed. The closure further comprises indicator means for providing a visual indication if the locking means is overridden to close the gap.
