Abstract:

A tamper-evident closure for a wide mouth container. The closure member has a central panel and a downwardly opening rim cavity encircling the central panel and adapted to receive therein a top rim of the food container. The rim cavity is defined by a pair of upstanding, radially spaced skirt segments connected at their respectrive upper edges by a top rim segment. A radially outer one of the skirt segments has adjacent a lower edge thereof a radially inwardly projecting and circumferentially extending first flange adapted to snugly fit under and frictionally engage the lip on the food container. In addition, the radially outer skirt also has a radially outwardly projecting second flange contiguous with and oriented below the first flange. A plurality of generally inverted V-shaped radially outwardly projecting rim segments are integrally connected between each set of mutually adjacent circumferential ends of at least the second flange. The inverted V-shaped rim segments each have a pair of wall segments each projecting radially outwardly from a respective one of the mutually adjacent circumferential ends of at least the second flange.
