Sealing/pouring combination with security seal

Abstract

The invention relates to a sealing/pouring combination with security seal, comprising a sealing cap piece ( 1 ), for mounting on a pouring piece ( 2 ) with a through passage ( 3 ) and for sealing the through passage, whereby the sealing cap piece has a cap circumferential wall ( 6 ) and complementary engaging means provided on the sealing cap piece and the pouring piece which come into engagement with each other during the assembly of the sealing cap piece on the pouring piece. The above prevents a movement of the sealing cap piece in a direction against that of the assembly direction. The engaging means on the cap are provided on at least one circumferential wall region ( 11 ), recessed in the circumferential wall of the sealing cap piece, connected to the cap circumferential wall with at least a pair of webs ( 12, 13 ) in the region of the circumferential ends thereof, of which at least one is embodied as a tear-off web ( 12 ). The engaging means further comprise a planar projection ( 10 ), provided on the recessed circumferential wall region ( 11 ), which may be brought to engage under an engaging connection ( 7 ) on the pouring piece.

1 - 8 . (canceled)  
   
   
       9 . A tamper-indicating pour-cap assembly comprising: 
 a container neck centered on an axis and forming an axially upwardly open passage;    a radially outwardly projecting rim formed on the neck and having an annular lower rim face;    a cap having an annular wall fitted over the neck in an installed position and formed with a radially through going cutout generally level with the rim in the installed position;    a wall part in the cutout formed with a projection extending radially inward and bearing upward in the installed position on the lower rim face; and    a leading web and a trailing web flanking the wall part, extending angularly between the wall part and the wall, unitary with the wall part and wall, and supporting the wall part in the cutout, one of the webs being frangible.    
   
   
       10 . The tamper-indicating pour-cap assembly defined in  claim 9  wherein the projection is of generally the same angular length as the wall part.  
   
   
       11 . The tamper-indicating pour-cap assembly defined in  claim 9  wherein both webs are frangible.  
   
   
       12 . The tamper-indicating pour-cap assembly defined in  claim 9  wherein the other of the webs is not frangible.  
   
   
       13 . The tamper-indicating pour-cap assembly defined in  claim 9  wherein the cutout is axially downwardly open and the wall and the wall part have lower edges that are generally level with each other.  
   
   
       14 . The tamper-indicating pour-cap assembly defined in  claim 9 , further comprising 
 a flexible web connecting the projection to the wall part.    
   
   
       15 . The tamper-indicating pour-cap assembly defined in  claim 9  wherein the projection has an upper face generally perpendicular to the axis and bearing in surface contact with the rim face in the installed position and a lower face extending inward and upward at an acute angle to the axis.  
   
   
       16 . The tamper-indicating pour-cap assembly defined in  claim 9  wherein the wall part is formed with a stabilizing formation adapted to fit with an installing tool for fitting the cap to the neck in the installed position.
