Abstract
A tamper-indicating screw-on closure cap for receptacles having threaded necks includes a tamper-indicating security band in the form of a ring including a stop strip turned inwardly of the ring and inclined in an inward and upward direction so that, upon first assembly of the cap to a receptacle neck the stop strip engages beneath a peripheral projection on the neck. The stop strip includes a continuous upper edge lying in an imaginary stop plane extending perpendicular to the axial direction of the cap and spaced zones of lesser thickness that define a plurality of sectors that also include an inwardly projecting chordwise rib terminating at an inner edge that subtends each respective sector, wherein the edges of the ribs together define a polygonal section of passage the inscribed circle of which presents a diameter smaller than that of the peripheral projection of the neck.
