Abstract: A tamper-evidencing lid assembly comprises a cap (10) adapted to be threadingly engaged upon the neck of a bottle (15). The cap has rotatably mounted thereon a shell (11) being sized and shaped to cover the cap to a sufficient extent to prevent a user from turning the cap with respect to the receptacle whilst the shell (11) is in place. The shell (11) further includes a hub (12) frangible therefrom by means of bridges (13).In order to gain access to the cap (10) so as to rotate it, the shell is lifted and removed by breaking the bridges (13). Once the shell is removed, it is clearly evident that the assembly has been tampered with.
