The invention relates to a screw cap for a container neck, comprising an internally threaded cap portion and a security ring joined by means of inclined bridge portions to the cap portion. The sealing ring is resiliently deformable and is designed to be forced over and past a collar around the neck of the container, when the cap is being screwed on for the first time. Recesses are provided in the lower part of the cap portion and/or the upper part of the sealing ring, in which recesses the bridge portions are secured. The bridge portions are so inclined that the upper edge of the security ring can engage the lower edge of the cap skirt when, during screwing on of the cap for the first time, the security ring engages the collar, without undue bending of the bridge portions, so that the cap portion can support the security ring while the latter is forced over the collar. However, when the cap is unscrewed, and the security ring is stopped by the collar, the bridge portions are first bent substantially, and thereby weakened and are tensioned, to rupture, during continued unscrewing of the cap portion.

A screw cap for a screw threaded container neck, the cap comprising an internally threaded cap portion having a head and a skirt extending from said head to a skirt edge, and further comprising a security ring adjoining said skirt edge and having an edge opposing said skirt edge, the security ring effectively constituting a continuation of said skirt, away from said head, beyond said skirt edge, at least one of said opposing edges of the skirt and the security ring having a plurality of recesses open towards the other said edge, said recesses being distributed around the circumference of the cap, the cap further including a plurality of bridge portions connecting the cap with the security ring, each said bridge portion being disposed in a said recess and extending from a respective first point on the security ring to a respective second point on the cap skirt which is located in advance of the respective first point in the rotational sense in which, according to the internal threading of the cap, the cap must be turned to screw it onto a container neck, whereby when the cap is screwed onto a container neck having a collar for engagement with said security ring, after the security ring engages said collar, further screwing on of the cap will cause the skirt edge of the cap skirt to press against the opposing edge of the security ring after, at most, relatively slight bending of the bridge portions at said first and second points, to allow the cap portion to force the security ring past said collar, whilst after the cap has been fully screwed onto a container and neck and is subsequently unscrewed therefrom, after the security ring engages said collar to be retained thereby, the bridge portions will be subjected to relatively great bending at said first and second points whilst being tensioned and thereby fractured.
