Abstract
A container closure includes a closure member defining container closing expanse, a tamper-indicating element in the closure interiorly of the closure member and tines movable with the closure member for both retaining the tamper-indicating element with the closure and for selectively tearing the tamper-indicating element. The movable tines are inaccessible through the closing expanse of the closure member and the closure affords visibility therethrough of the condition of the tamper-indicating element. The tamper indicating element includes a compressible foam layer and the movable tines reside essentially in the foam layer.
