Abstract

A plastic closure cap for containers wherein the closure cap is threadedly engaged on the container neck finish and has a tamper indicating band which is locked beneath a transfer bead on the container neck finish. The tamper indicating band is simply in the form of a plurality of segments which extend between circumferentially spaced bridges and which normally are curved radially inwardly. The tamper indicating band segments, however, will deflect radially outwardly and change shape so as to freely pass over the transfer bead as the closure cap is being applied to the container neck finish. After the tamper indicating band segments pass beyond the transfer bead, the segments snap back to their original positions due to tension and are locked beneath the transfer bead.
