A fitment and cap therefor are integrally molded with lugs interconnecting the part. The fitment has a flange to be attached to a container and an internally threaded spout. The cap has an externally threaded skirt. The lugs are diametrically spaced and interconnect the bottom edge of the skirt and upper edge of the spout. After molding, force is applied to break the lugs and snap the skirt inside the spout, the threads slipping past each other and inter-engaging. A temper-evident band extends around the skirt and is connected thereto by frangible bridges. At diametrically spaced locations vertically projecting fingers extend down from the tamper evident band and are received in sockets on the fitment flange shaped so that the band fingers prevent unscrewing the cap without removing the tamper-evident band. A pull tab and thumb tab assist the consumer in removing the tamper evident band so that the cap may be unscrewed from the fitment.

An intermediate product comprising in combination, a fitment and a cap therefor, said fitment comprising an annular flange having a hole, a spout upstanding from said flange surrounding said hole, first helical attachment means on said spout, said cap having a top, a skirt depending from said top, second helical attachment means on said skirt co-operable with said first helical attachment means to tighten said cap on said fitment when said cap is turned in a first direction and loosen said cap when said cap is turned in a second direction opposite said first direction, characterized by a tamper-evident ring surrounding said skirt, frangible means detachably connecting said ring to said skirt, first locking means attached to said ring, complementary second locking means fixed to said fitment shaped and positioned to receive said first locking means to restrain loosening said cap so long as said frangible means is intact, said frangible means when broken permitting unscrewing of said cap from said fitment, said first helical attachment means comprising internal threads on said spout and said second helical attachment means comprising external threads on said skirt mating with said internal threads, at least one of said skirt and said spout being flexible and said first and second helical attachment means being shaped so that when said cap is moved directly axially downward relative to said spout, said first and second helical attachment means slip past each other and then interengage, and said first locking means is received in said second locking means.
