A tamper-proof ring for securing a closure over the open end of a container. The closure and container has a projection engageable by the ring which comprises an annular member which before application to a container-closure assembly has a generally cylindrical section of a diameter slightly greater than the greatest transverse dimension of the container. The closure projection and a radially inwardly directed flange at one end of the cylindrical section define a plurality of circumferentially spaced, generally axial score lines extending from the edge of the cylindrical section opposite the one end and terminates at the juncture of the flange and cylindrical section.

Tamper-evident container-closure assembly

A tamper-proof seal for a container having at least one circumferentially extending flange adjacent the discharge opening therein comprising an annular top and a circumferentially extending skirt depending from the top adapted to be crimped at its lower terminal edge to engage under the flange to hold it on the container. A pull ring connects to the annular portion by a throat portion and partial score lines extend across the annular top portion on either side of the pull ring and define a plurality of circumferentially spaced score lines extending from the lower edge of the skirt upwardly in an axial direction to a point closely adjacent the juncture of the skirt and annular top portion. The axial score lines are spaced closely about the skirt.
