Definitions

  • This invention relates to a tamper evident closure for containers.
  • the invention relates to a tamper evident closure for specimen containers.
  • Tamper evident closures are used to indicate that a container has been opened. High levels of tamper evidence are often required for medicinal or therapeutic goods as well as providing uncontaminated specimens for medical testing.
  • the present invention is intended to provide a closure for a container that will meet these requirements .
  • a tamper evident closure for a container comprising: an inner cap having a first tamper evident band joined to the innercap by a frangible portion for tamper evidencing engagement with the container; an overcap having a second tamper evident band joined to the over cap by a frangible portion for tamper evidencing engagement with the container;
  • the overcap being engageable with the inner cap, and selectively movable from a first position in which the second tamper evident band is not engaged to a second position, in which the second tamper evident band engages.
  • the second tamper evident band may engage the container via the first tamper evident band.
  • the second tamper evident band engages the first tamper evident band while the first tamper evident band engages the container.
  • a frangible member may be provided between the inner cap and the overcap for controlling movement of the overcap from the first position to the second position.
  • the frangible member can be used to provide a visual indication of the movement of the overcap to the second position and thus engagement of the second tamper evident band.
  • the frangible member may be part of either the overcap or inner cap.
  • the frangible member is preferably on the overcap.
  • the frangible member is a removable portion that is joined to the overcap by a frangible portion.
  • the removable portion may be displaced by a raised top portion in the inner cap. In this arrangement, the raised top portion pushes against the removable portion to separate the removable portion at its frangible portion from the overcap as the overcap moves to the second position.
  • the tamper evident closure of this invention can be used to provide tamper evidence as sequential stages of use of the container. Once the closure is fitted to a container and the first tamper evident band of the inner cap is engaged with the container, removal of the closure will be evident. Thus if the container is sterile when the closure is initially fitted, the breaking of the first tamper evident band indicates that the container is no longer sterile. When the closure is refitted the second tamper evident band is engaged by moving the overcap to the second position. Consequently tamper evidence is provided to indicate whether the container has been reopened. In the preferred embodiment the movement of the overcap from the first to the second position results in the breaking of the frangible member that provides a visual indication that the overcap has been engaged.
  • the closure is particularly suitable for the requirements of safe and accurate testing of medical specimens.
  • the first tamper evident band provides an indication of whether the container is sterile and suitable for the receipt of a sample. Once the sample is placed in the container and the overcap moved to the second position the second tamper evident band provides indication of whether the container has been opened since the introduction of the sample.
  • the raised top portion may have a step portion for restraining movement of the overcap relative to the inner cap so that the overcap and inner cap move as a unit.
  • the diameter of the step portion is preferably larger than the diameter of the aperture formed by separation of the removable portion from the overcap.
  • the diameter of the raised top portion other than the step portion is less than the diameter of the aperture.
  • the step portion allows the overcap to be positively retained by the top raised portion.
  • frangible portions joining the inner cap and the overcap with their respective tamper evident bands may have differing strengths.
  • the frangible portion joining the overcap and the second tamper evident band is stronger than the frangible portion joining the inner cap and the first tamper evident band. This ensures that when excessive force is applied to the closure, the first tamper evident band breaks from the inner cap before the second tamper evident band breaks from the overcap .
  • the differing strengths of the frangible portions of the inner cap and overcap may be determined by varying the structure of the frangible portions of the overcap and inner cap.
  • the frangible portions are in the form of weakened bridges
  • the frangible portion of the overcap may comprise a larger number of bridges than the frangible portion of the inner cap.
  • the bridges of the frangible portion of the overcap may have a greater thickness than the bridges of the frangible portion of the inner cap. It is preferred that the overcap has more bridges than the inner cap.
  • the frangible portion of the inner cap is about 20% weaker in resisting torque than the frangible portion of the overcap.
  • the first tamper evident band may have a lug portion for engaging the second tamper evident band.
  • the first tamper evident band has an outwardly extending lug portion.
  • the outwardly extending lug portion may have a ramp surface for engaging the second tamper evident band.
  • the ramp surface may end in a tooth.
  • the outwardly extending lug portion is annular.
  • the first tamper evident band may have a lug portion for engaging the container.
  • the first tamper evident band has an inwardly extending lug portion.
  • the inwardly extending lug portion may have a ramp surface. The ramp surface may end in a tooth.
  • the inwardly extending lug portion may be annular. In a preferred embodiment, the inwardly extending lug portion engages an annular rim or tamper evident band retaining ring on the container.
  • the second tamper evident band may have a lug portion for engaging the first tamper evident band.
  • the second tamper evident band may have an inwardly extending lug portion.
  • the inwardly extending lug portion may have a ramp surface for engaging the first tamper evident band. The ramp surface may end in a tooth.
  • the inwardly extending lug portion is annular.
  • the inwardly extending lug portion of the second tamper evident band engages the outwardly extending portion of the first tamper evident band along their respective ramp surfaces and teeth so as to place the second and first tamper evident bands into engagement with each other.
  • the overcap may have an engaging portion for engaging the inner cap.
  • the overcap has an inward land portion.
  • the inward land portion may be spaced from the top of the overcap.
  • the inward land portion is annular.
  • the inner cap may have an engaging portion to engage the overcap.

  • the removable disc 9 is shown in Figure 2C. Both the overcap top 7 and the disc 9 may have written instructions moulded into their respective exterior surfaces to instruct a user.
  • the overcap 3 has a second tamper evident band 13 extending from its lower end opposite to top 7 and joined to the overcap 3 by a series of frangible bridges 15 located along the circumference of the second tamper evident band 13.
  • Second tamper evident band 13 has an inwardly extending lug portion 17 comprising a ramp surface 19 ending in a tooth 21.
  • the inner cap 4 has an outwardly extending annular clip portion 6 at its top edge for engaging the inward land portion 5 of the overcap 3.
  • the inner cap 4 has a wedge seal 8 for engaging the lip of container 2.
  • the inner cap 4 has a raised top portion 10, which may also have written instructions or a written warning (as illustrated in Figure 4C) moulded into its exterior surface.
  • the top raised portion 10 is roughly cylindrical in shape to correspond to the circular profile of disc 9 in the overcap 3.
  • the raised top portion 10 has a step portion 30 which has a diameter larger than the diameter of the aperture formed when the disc 9 is removed from top 7 of the overcap 3.
  • the top raised portion 10 has a diameter that is slightly smaller than the aperture formed by removal of disc 9.
  • the step portion 30 restrains movement of the overcap 3 upwards along the inner cap 4, allowing the overcap 3 to be positively retained by top raised portion 10 so that the overcap 3 and inner cap 4 move as a single unit.
  • the inner cap 4 has a first tamper evident band

  • the outwardly extending lug portion 16 has ramp surface 18 ending in a tooth 20.
  • inwardly extending lug portion 22 has ramp surface 24 ending in a tooth 26.
  • the number of frangible bridges 15 between the overcap 3 and its tamper evident band 13 is greater than the number of frangible bridges 14 between the inner cap 4 and its tamper evident band 12. Consequently, the connection between the overcap 3 and tamper evident band
  • the bridges 15 of the overcap 3 are designed to break under an applied torque of about 10 inch pounds whereas the bridges 14 are designed to break under an applied torque of about 8 inch pounds .
  • the land portion 5 of the overcap 3 lies adjacent to the clip portion 6 of the inner cap 4.
  • the inwardly extending lug portion 17 of the second tamper evident band 13 is initially adjacent to the outwardly extending lug portion 16 of the first tamper evident band 12 via their respective ramp surfaces 19 and 18.
  • downwardly extending wedge seal 8 of the inner cap 4 engages the lip of the container 2 to form a tight seal to keep the inside of the container 2 sterile.
  • the tamper evident closure 1 is assembled by fitting overcap 3 onto inner cap 4.
  • the closure 1 is then fitted onto the container 2 by internal screw thread 26 on the inner cap 4 engaging corresponding external screw thread 23 on the container 2, as shown in Figure 2B.
  • the inwardly extending lug potion 22 of the first tamper evident band 12 lies below annular rim 23 on the container 2.
  • the closure 1 is removed from the container 2 with the first tamper evident band 12 left resting on land portion 25 of the container 2, as shown in Figure 3B.
  • the first tamper evident band 12 indicates that the wedge seal 8 on the closure 1 and the container 2 has been removed and so the container 2 is no longer sterile.
  • the user screws the closure 1 back onto the container 2. As shown in Figures 4B and 4C, this forces the overcap top 7 onto the raised top portion 10, causing frangible bridges 11 to break and dislodging removable disc 9 from the closure 1.
  • the step portion 30 has a larger diameter than the diameter of the aperture formed by removal of disc 9, the edges of the overcap 3 which define the aperture flex, allowing the step portion 30 to extend through the aperture. After step portion 30 passes through the aperture, the edges flex back and the raised top portion 10 extends through the aperture so that the exterior surface of the raised top portion 10 is revealed. Consequently, as the diameter of the raised top portion 10 (other than step portion 30) is less than the diameter of the aperture, the overcap 3 (and second tamper evident band 13) moves further downward along the container neck than its initial position shown at Figure 2B. In addition, the step portion 30 restrains movement of the overcap 3 upwards along the inner cap 4, ensuring that the overcap 8 is positively retained by top raised portion 10. Accordingly, the overcap 3 and inner cap 4 move as a single unit.
  • overcap 3 and inner cap 4 are made from different coloured plastic, this notifies that a sample has been placed within the container 2.
  • a suitable written or graphic warning on the exterior surface of raised portion 10 of the inner cap 4 also indicates that a sample is held within the container 2.
  • the second tamper evident band 13 has not been broken this indicates that the container 2 has not been tampered or interfered with after provision of the sample.
  • the closure 1 When the sample is to be accessed for testing, the closure 1 is again unscrewed from container 2. This action moves the second tamper evident band 13 upward and the inwardly extending lug portion 13 engages the outwardly extending lug portion 16 at their respective teeth 21 and 20. As the flat surfaces of the teeth 21 and 20 prevent further relative movement between the lug portions 13 and 16, the upward force breaks the frangible bridges 15 between the second tamper evident band 13 and the overcap 3. The closure 1 is then removed from the container 2 and the second tamper evident band 13 pulls free from the overcap 3 and rests on the land portion 25 of the container. The removal of the second tamper evident band 13 indicates that the container 2 has been opened and the sample has either been contaminated or tested.
  • the overcap and inner cap are preferably made separately and later assembled form the closure.
  • the overcap and inner cap are made of plastic as this allows the overcap and inner cap to be easily moulded.
  • separate production of the overcap and the inner cap allows for different coloured plastics to be used for the overcap and inner cap, thereby assisting indication that the container 2 has a sample.
  • the word "comprises”, “comprising” and any variants thereof are intended to be used in its inclusive sense and in no way is intended to limit the features of the invention.
