Abstract
Abstract A container and plastics closure therefor having a security band integrally formed with the skirt of the closure, in which a plug on the closure seals inside the month of the container and in which the positioning of the closure on the container is by relative axial movement but removing the closure is by unscrewing to break the attachment of the security band to the skirt of the closure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A container and closure therefor, at least the latter being-of plastics, the neck portion of the container having external screw-threads for engagement with internal screw-threads on the skirt of the closure, in which the closure is capable of being applied to the container by an axial relative movement of the closure and container to override the interference of the threads, wherein the closure is provided with a plug extending from the inside surface of the base of the closure and capable of entering and forming a seal with the mouth portion of the container over the required range of axial position and wherein the closure-is provided with an integral annular security band joined by tearable webs to the free end of the closure skirt, in the assembled condition of the container and closure the band being capable of lying with variable axial clearance from annularly disposed nibs and a security band separating bead on the container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
A container and closure therefor, at least the latter being-of plastics, the neck portion of the container having external screw-threads for engagement with internal screw-threads on the skirt of the closure, in which the closure is capable of being applied to the container by an axial relative movement of the closure and container to override the interference of the threads, wherein the closure is provided with a plug extending from the inside surface of the base of the closure and capable of entering and forming a seal with the mouth portion of the container over the required range of axial position and wherein the closure-is provided with an integral annular security band joined by tearable webs to the free end of the closure skirt, in the assembled condition of the container and closure the band being capable of lying with variable axial clearance from annularly disposed nibs and a security band separating bead on the container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A container and closure therefor as claimed in Claim 1, in which the plug makes sealing contact with an inwardly projecting annular bead inside with mouth of the container over an adequate axial range.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A container and closure therefor as claimed in Claim 1, in which the plug is provided with an external annular bead which makes sealing contact with a straight sided mouth of the container over an adequate axial range.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A container and closure therefor as claimed jn any one of the preceding claims, in which the container and closure both have multi-start threads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
A container and closure therefor as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which the nibs on the container engage with castellations on the security band when the closure is unscrewed to tear the webs and release the closure from the security band.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
A container and closure therefor as claimed in Claim 5, in which the nibs and/or castellations are provided with edges which are presented to the co-operating nibs or castellations on unscrewing the closure to assist in engagement.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
A container and closure therefor as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which all the nib engagement surfaces are disposed radial to the bottle neck.
Claim 9
