Abstract
A tamper-proof closure for a bottle and the like, which comprises a cap adapted for screwing on/off the bottle, a sealing band connected to the cap by bridge portions, and abutments formed on the band to engage respective teeth formed on the bottle, has the advantage of an improved indication of the closure having been unsealed, by virtue of the band being split in at least two arched sections which are provided, at the leading and trailing ends in the screw-off direction of the cap, with respective bridge portions of connection to the cap and respective abutments, the bridge portion located at leading end being ruptured upon engagement of the respective abutment with the respective tooth, and the bridge portion located at the trailing end constituting a hinge for shifting the arched section angularly following engagement of the respective abutment with the respective tooth.
