A flip-top dispensing closure is provided. The closure includes a base and a lid. The base is attachable to a container neck and includes an integral spout. The lid includes a fixing ring and a cap. The fixing ring is attachable to the base and the cap is hingedly attached to the ring. The closure is provided with tamper-evident parts including first and second parts which are initially frangibly connected to each other within the lid, and upon first opening of the cap, the first and second parts are separated, one of the parts being retained by the cap and the other of the parts dropping onto the base.

Closure

A tamper-evident container closure () is provided and comprises a base () and a lid (). The base and lid are connected together by a hinge () so that the lid can be moved between a closed position and an open position. The base is attachable to a container neck. Generally opposite the hinge the lid includes a retention member (), the retention member includes or defines a window () and includes a retention portion for engagement with a cooperating portion on the closure and/or on a container neck for holding the lid in a closed position. The closure includes a tamper-evident member () at least part of which moves into or out of view with respect to the window to indicate opening of the closure.

Tamper evident container closure

A tamper-evident closure comprising a cap and a retaining ring, the retaining ring is connected to the sidewall by a plurality of bridges, at least one of the bridges is frangible and at least one of the bridges is non-frangible whereby to form a link between the ring and the sidewall.

A method of manufacturing a tamper-evident closure, comprising the steps of: forming a body having a base and a lid; and inserting a dispensing member and a tamper-evident member into the body.

Method of manufacturing a tamper-evident closure

A tamper-evident closure for a container is provided. The closure comprises a base attachable to a container neck. The base comprises a sidewall having a tamper-evident drop band, the band including an abutment for engaging the container neck to cause the band to break away from the sidewall if an attempt is made to remove the closure from the neck once fitted. The band further comprises an extension against which the sidewall pushes if the closure is reapplied to push the band away from the base. The extension extends only part of the way around the band.

Tamper-evident closures

A tamper-evident closure is provided and comprises a body and a separate plug member. The body has a sidewall including screw thread formations for screwing the closure onto a screw threaded container neck and the plug member is locatable on the neck to seal it. The closure comprises a tamper-evident member at least part of which is movable from a first position to a second position when the closure is unscrewed from the neck for the first time and, in use, when the body is unscrewed the body moves axially with respect to the plug member to cause the tamper-evident member to move from the first to the second position.

Tamper-evident closure

A closure () comprising a base () and a lid (), the base and lid being joined by a hinge arrangement () so that the lid is movable between a closed position and an open position, the hinge arrangement comprising a main hinge () and a separate auxiliary hinge (), in which the lateral extent of the main hinge is greater than the lateral extent of the auxiliary hinge.

Or relating to closures

A flip-top dispensing closure is provided and comprises a base connectable to a container neck and a lid connected to the base by a hinge so as to be movable between a closed position and an open position. The closure comprises a tamper-evident drop band irreversibly moved from a first position to a second position to indicate if the lid has been opened. The lid comprises retention means for non-frangibly holding the band in the first position in an initial closed position, and as the lid is moved towards the open position the band is released from the retention means and moves to the second position.

A flip-top dispensing closure () is provided. The closure comprises: a base () connectable to a container neck (); a lid () hingedly connected to the base so as to be movable between a closed position and an open position; and a dispensing member (). The closure further comprises a tamper-indicating member (). The tamper-indicating member () activates either: upon first opening of the lid (); or if the base () is removed from the neck ().
