A tamper indicating package comprising a container having a neck with a threaded finish, an annular bead on the neck, a plastic closure which includes a base wall and a depending peripheral skirt having threads interengaging the threads of the container, and a tamper indicating band attached to the skirt by a plurality of weakened portions defining a line of severing. An annular flange extends axially upwardly and inwardly from the tamper indicating band toward the base wall of the closure and comprises a first continuous annular flange portion connected to the band by a hinge portion and a second portion which has free ends of the segment portions engaging beneath the bead on the container when the closure is threaded onto the container. In one form the second portion comprises a plurality of segment portions extending upwardly and inwardly from the first continuous portion. In another form, the second portion comprises a second continuous flange portion. The flange is bent intermediate its ends so that the second portion extends inwardly at a greater angle than the first continuous flange portion.

A tamper indicating package comprising a container having a neck with a threaded finish, an annular bead on said neck, a plastic closure which includes a base wall and a depending peripheral skirt having threads interengaging the threads of said container, and a tamper indicating band attached to said skirt by one or more weakened portions defining a line of severing, and an annular flange extending axially upwardly and inwardly from said tamper indicating band toward said base wall of said closure, said flange comprising a first continuous annular flange portion connected to an inner surface of said tamper indicating band by a hinge spaced radially inwardly from said inner surface of the band, and said flange being bent intermediate its ends such that a second portion extends inwardly at a greater angle to the axis of the closure than said first continuous flange portion, the free end of said second portion engaging beneath said bead on said container when said closure is threaded onto said container, said second portion comprising a plurality of circumferentially spaced segment portions separated by narrow slots extending axially upwardly and inwardly from the continuous annular flange portion, said band having an inner surface engaged by said first continuous flange portion when the closure is being removed to cause the flange to bend along the bend therein, said segment portions comprising the major portion of the second flange portion.
