Inventors:

Eric W. Kost - Evansville IN

Assignee:

Rexam Plastics Inc. - Evansville IN

International Classification:

B65D 102

US Classification:

215 48

Abstract:

A tamper indicating bridged fitment is provided having an annular flange and an upwardly extending cylindrical side wall. Said fitment has a tamper indicating feature which is comprised of a bridge connected to the top edge of said upwardly extending cylindrical side wall by frangible webs. The tamper indicating bridge additionally has a slot formed longitudinally therethrough, said slot receiving a tab extending upward from a plug. The plug is a separate element which is comprised of a tab and a top wall and additionally has a downwardly extending cylindrical seal wall which acts to seal the fitment. Once the tab is inserted through the slot in the tamper indicating bridge, the fitment may only be opened by breaking the frangible tamper indicating webs connecting the bridge to the fitment side wall. Once the webs are broken, the plug may be removed by the tab and the bridge is thereby disconnected from the fitment. For reclosure of the fitment, the plug is inserted back into the fitment and is snugly fit therein preventing the contents of the container to which the fitment is attached from escaping.
