Abstract
A container, in particular a plastic vial produced in the blow-molding method and filled and closed in the mold, has a neck part (5) joined to a container body (1). The neck part receives a one-part or multi-part cap (2). A fixing part (29) is connected to the cap (2) by a breaking point (31), which can be detached by a relative rotational motion between the cap (2) and the container body (1). Each breaking point (31) can be detached by rotational motions in both rotational directions with approximately the same angle of rotation and approximately the same torque.

A container, comprising:
- a container body having a hollow interior for contents;
- a neck part joined to said container body;
- a cap mounted axially on said neck part;
- a fixing part being connected to said cap by predetermined breaking points and being detachable by relative rotation between said cap and said container body, in both of opposite first and second rotational directions, said fixing part including a tamper-evident closure ring surrounding said neck part in an assembled state thereof;
- and
- ledges extending axially and radially on an inside surface of said ring and blocking elements extending radially on an outside surface of said neck part, said ledges and blocking elements blocking rotation of said ring relative to said neck part in both of the first and second rotational directions, said predetermined breaking points being web bridges directly connecting only said ledges to a lower end of said cap.
