Title:
LIQUID CONTAINER CLOSURE ASSEMBLY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004011347
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
There is disclosed an improved closure assembly (5) adapted to be applied to a mouth and neck portion of a container (e.g. for liquid) such as a neck of a bottle. Known container closure assemblies suffer from a number of problems, e.g. simplicity of manufacture and provision of tamper evidence. Accordingly, the closure assembly (5) (or tamper-evident device) of the present invention comprises: a first body part (10) ; a tamper-evidence member or lock means (15) ; and a container closure member (20), wherein prior to initial opening the tamper-evident member or lock means (15)is in a first position such that the first body 15 part (10) and the container closure member (20)are disposed in a first relation to one another, and initial opening of the closure assembly (5) causes the tamper-evident member or lock means (15) to move a second position. Upon reclosure the lock means (15) causes the first body part (10) and the container closure member (20) to be disposed in a second (spaced) relation to one another, thereby evidencing opening and reclosure.
