Abstract: The present invention relates to tethered plastic stopper having a tamper band having an offset wall, a closure shell having a peripheral wall, and a hinge connected to the closure shell and a bottom edge attached to the tamper band. The closure shell is also separably connected to the tamper band through a weakness line. The peripheral wall extends around a portion perimeter of the stopper forming a first end at one edge of the peripheral wall and a second end edge at the other edge of the peripheral wall. The offset wall extends between the first and second ends of the peripheral wall at the opposite of the hinge.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tethered screw plastic stopper, comprising a tamper shell positioned around the stopper. The tamper shell includes a retaining feature operable to cooperate with a top ring extending outwardly around a bottle neck. The stopper also includes a roof connected to the tamper shell through a hinge and separably connected to the tamper shell through a weakness line, wherein the tamper shell may be moved downwardly in rotation into an opened position.

Abstract: The present invention includes a tethered plastic stopper having a tamper band, a closure shell having a plurality of tongues, and a hinge attached at a bottom portion to the tamper band and attached at a top portion to the closure shell. The closure shell is separably connected to the tamper band through a weakness line. The plurality of tongues each extend outwardly relative to the periphery of the stopper and being positioned around a periphery of the stopper.

Abstract: This invention is an improved stopper for a bottle with a tethered plastic stopper where its closure shell remains attached to its tamper band after bottle opening. The tethered plastic stopper includes a closure shell that remains attached to its tamper band after the bottle is opened through a linking feature. The invention also includes a method for making a stopper.

Abstract: This invention relates to a tethered plastic stopper, having a tamper band positioned around the stopper, a closure shell positioned on top of the stopper above the tamper band, and a linking feature. The linking feature is configured to connect the tamper band to the closure shell, the linking feature including a first end configured to attach to the closure shell, a second end configured to attach to the tamper band, and a central portion. The central portion positioned between the first end and the second end, the central portion being situated furthest from the stopper when compared to the first end and the second end. The linking feature is positioned outside the periphery of the stopper and is configured to allow the central portion to flex during removal of the closure shell from a top of a bottle neck.
