Abstract: This invention provides a closure which is both tamper-resistant and child-resistant. The closure has a cap part including a top and a skirt, a tear band and a captive band, the tear band being connected to the skirt and to the captive band by lines of weakness and tell tale bridge members are provided so that the tear band cannot be removed without breaking the bridge members to provide the tamper-resistant feature. To provide the child-resistant feature the skirt of the cap part has an internal projection which can pass through an opening in an arcuate bead on an associated container only when the cap part is turned into a predetermined position.

Abstract: A space filler designed to be disposed within a space in a filled container between the contents of the container and a closure cap for the container to minimize unwanted movement of the contents of the container, wherein the space filler comprises a base member to rest on the top of the contents of the container and a plurality of resilient spacer arms projecting upwardly from the base member, at least some of the resilient spacer arms being so shaped and dimensioned so that when in use they are compressed and deformed and make contact both with the inner surface of the top of the closure cap and with the inside side surface of the container.

Abstract: A container closure which has a cap part with an internal screw thread to engage with an external screw thread on the container, a tear away band connected to the skirt of the cap part to show whether the closure has been tampered with and a captive band connected to the tear away band.

Abstract: A closure cap for closing the mouth of a container. The cap has a plug forming an inner member, and an outer member with a depending skirt. When the closure cap is in operative position on a container the inner member is arranged coaxially within the upper part of the outer member with the plug in position to close the mouth of the container. When in this position the upper part of the outer member is positioned above the mouth of the container and the skirt of the outer member embraces and engages with the outer surface of the container around the mouth.

Abstract: A hinged closure has a cap part and an integral band adapted to be separated circumferentially from one another except for a narrow interconnecting hinge by removing a partial arcuate tear band between the cap part and the anchor band and then applying upward pressure upon the cap part so as to tear two remaining arcuate membranes which connect the tear band with the hinge.

Abstract: This invention provides a container and closure assembly. The closure consists of a plug which fits into the mouth of the container in such a position that removal of the closure is prevented until the closure is turned to bring a recessed thumb grip on the side of the closure into registration with a gap in the container wall. When the closure is in this position the closure can be pushed out of the container by passing the thumb of the user through the gap.

Abstract: A plastics container and closure assembly in which the closure has a cap part, a tear away band, an anchor band, a hinge connecting the cap part to the anchor band and a bung to seat within the mouth of the container. The bung is deeper on one side than on the other whereby when viewed from one side the bottom of the bung is formed by an oblique line extending upwardly from the deepest part of the bung to the shallowest part and wherein the shallowest part of the bung is adjacent to a thumb tab by which the cap may be manipulated and the deepest part of the bung is adjacent to the hinge. The anchor band has an auxiliary band retaining projection positioned when in use below the auxiliary bead on the container and a main band-retaining projection when in use below the main band-retaining bead the arrangement being such that when the tear-off strip is removed the cap part remains connected to the anchor band by a hinge and the anchor band is firmly held in position.
