Multiple asymmetric 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 coupled to a tamper evidence band by a plurality of anchors. The closure portion threadably engages a finish portion of the container and seals contents in the interior of the container. The anchors keep the tamper evidence band coupled with the closure portion. Multiple thin connections are arranged at various intervals around the circumference of the tamper evidence band and between adjacent anchors. The thin connections break apart when the closure portion is untightened from the finish portion, providing an observational indication that the container closure has been unsealed from the finish portion after having been installed by a manufacturer. The 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.
