Abstract
A tamper evident closure for an open container having an outwardly projecting container finish proximate to the container opening is disclosed. The closure comprises a hollow body which includes a tamper evidencing means. The tamper evidencing means is hinged within the body so that removal of the closure from the container requires engagement of the tamper evidencing means with the projecting finish. This engagement results in outward displacement of the tamper evidencing means and creates a visual impression.
