The invention relates to a container closure comprising a base portion which extends about a reference axis of the container closure, a cap portion which in a closed positioned covers a drinking hole in the container closure and in an open position leaves said drinking hole in the container closure uncovered, and a tamper-evident ring which is separate from the cap portion and the base portion and is interlockingly connected to the cap portion and connected to the base portion in a hooked manner. The tamper-evident ring has an annular bead that is not radially covered by the base portion and extends in an annular groove of an outer wall of the cap portion, which wall faces radially outward.

Container closure with tamper-evident ring, and method for assembling a container closure of this kind

The invention pertains to a screw cap for a neck of a bottle composed of an upper part removeable from the neck and a lower park non-removeable from the neck and which is a tamper evidence band (TEB) linked to the cap's skirt by frangible connection bridges designed to be broken at the first licit opening of the bottle. TEB also displays any breaking of the cap before the first container opening, thanks to additional lower markers which are composed of annularly regularly distributed frangible connection bridges. Upper frangible bridges and lower frangible bridges are below the top edge of the neck in the original closed position of the cap and define a top ring of the TEB which is intact after the first licit opening.
