    Abstract: To prevent tampering with the contents of containers for pharmaceuticals and other products, a plastic cap which is an improvement upon U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,338,446 and 4,166,552. The neck of the container is sealed with a commercially available foil seal; the cap is dimensioned so that the foil seal is inserted inside the cap prior to its being applied to the container. The dimensions of the cap accommodate the foil seal yet the snap-on and the tamper-proof features of the cap are maintained.
