Dual anchor container closure

Abstract

An apparatus and methods are provided for a container closure for sealing contents within an interior of a container. The container closure comprises a closure portion that is coupled to a tamper evidence band by a first anchor and a second anchor. The first and second anchors keep the tamper evidence band coupled with the closure portion. The closure portion threadably engages with a finish portion of the container and seals contents in the interior of the container. Multiple thin connections between the tamper evidence band and the closure portion break apart when the closure portion is untightened from the finish portion. The thin connections may be arranged on opposite sides of the tamper evidence band and between the first and second anchors. The first and second anchors remain unbroken and cause the tamper evidence band to remain attached to the closure portion upon being removed from the finish portion.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
