Abstract
A screw closure () has a screw cap () and a tamperproof band (). The screw cap () has a head plate () with a cylindrical lateral cap surface (,provided with an internal thread () and wherein the tamperproof band () has a flexible band () and is connected to the lower periphery of the lateral cap surface () via one or more easy-tear elements (). In order to create a screw closure which has a flexible band and, even with relatively large tolerance deviations between the closure and container neck, still ensures that the tamperproof band can be reliably torn off is thus providing enhanced functional reliability. The flexible band () is a continuously encircling flexible band which, distributed over its circumference, has portions () which can be extended easily and, therebetween, portions () which are less easy to extend.
