Patent attributes
A tamper-evident dispensing closure includes a body adapted to be attached to a container. The container has a shoulder portion surrounding a dispensing opening. The closure body has a peripheral wall and a top wall which extends over one end of the peripheral wall, such that the corresponding end of the body is closed off by the top wall and an opposite end of the body is open. The open end is in use placed over the shoulder portion of the container. The top wall is provided with a dispensing passage which in use is in line with the dispensing opening of the container. The peripheral wall is provided with tamper-evident means, which cause the peripheral wall to rupture when the closure is removed from the container, thereby indicating tampering.
