AI Technical Summary
Existing tamper-evident closures for containers with threaded openings lack a secure mechanism to prevent fraudulent opening without breaking the tamper-evident system.
A tamper-evident closure with a specific structure that includes an outer cap with a tamper-evident member connected by a frangible structure, an inner cap with a cap thread, and a third engagement mechanism that breaks the frangible structure upon relative rotational movement of the outer and inner caps, ensuring the tamper-evident member is detached even during fraudulent attempts to open the closure.
The closure effectively guarantees that the tamper-evident member is detached both during normal opening and fraudulent attempts, providing enhanced security against unauthorized access.
