Tamper indicating device

A tamper indicating band in combination with a closure having a lower radially, outwardly extending lip and a container having a radial flange beneath and adjacent said closure lip, said band comprising an annular molded plastic band of a height greater than the vertical spacing between the closure lip and the container flange, a first inwardly, extending locking means integrally formed as a continuous annular ring joined to the inner surface of said band at an acute angle with respect to the inner surface of said band by a thin hinge section adjacent one edge thereof and engaging the top of said closure lip, a second inwardly extending locking means integrally formed with the inner surface of said band, adjacent the other edge thereof and adapted to engage beneath said container flange and said band spanning the space between the closure lip and container flange.
