Abstract
A closure (V) for a vessel, such as a bottle ( ), having a closure cap and a closure lower part, tamper proofing ( ) being provided, having a securing part which, on first use, can be displaced into a position which clearly indicates that the vessel has been opened, and, to achieve a simple structure which is reliable in use, the securing part comprises a securing projection ( ) which passes freely through the closure cap and is secured to the closure lower part, and the securing projection, to destroy the tamper proofing can be pressed into the closure lower part, and latching elements, which interact in the manner of barbs with the pressed-in securing part, are formed in the closure lower part.
