A closure is provided for a container. The closure has a body and a lid. The closure includes a tamper-indicating member connected to the body of the closure by an anchor member received in an anchor member-receiving aperture defined in the closure body. The tamper-indicating member is also connected along a frangible junction to the lid of the closure. A plug member extends from the tamper-indicating member and is receivable in a plug member-receiving aperture defined in the body. When the tamper-indicating member is depressed to force the plug member into the plug member-receiving aperture, the frangible junction is broken, and the tamper-indicating member is retained in its depressed position. This provides an indication that the closure may have been previously opened. Also, an overhanging portion of the lid can be readily engaged by a finger to facilitate opening of the lid relative to the body of the closure.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A tamper-indicating arrangement for a container, comprising:a first portion and a second portion relatively movable to permit dispensing of material out of said second portion; anda tamper-indicating member which is adapted to be laterally pushed with a finger to a laterally displaced position, which is connected at a frangible joint to said first portion, at least a part of said tamper-indicating member being spaced from a part of said second portion to define a clearance for accommodating laterally displacement of said part of said tamper-indicating member, and which is connected to said second portion to allow said part of said tamper-indicating member to be pushed toward said second portion and relative to said first portion through a distance sufficient to break said frangible joint.
