Extended thread tamper band evidence
A tamper evidence closure assembly is provided for engaging with a finish of a container for sealing contents within an interior of a container. The assembly includes a finish and a tamper evidence closure configured to threadably engage with the finish. The finish comprises a cylindrical portion of the container that begins at an opening to the interior of the container and extends to and includes a support ledge. Threads are configured to engage with the finish. The tamper evidence closure includes a tamper evidence band that is attached to closure by way of a multiplicity of thin connections. The tamper evidence band includes a cam configured to engage with the finish during removal of the tamper evidence closure. The cam causes the thin connections to break such that the tamper evidence band remains disposed on the finish after removal of the tamper evidence closure.
1. A tamper evidence closure assembly for sealing contents within an interior of a container, the assembly comprising:
a finish including
a cylindrical body having an edge defining an opening to the interior of the container, and
one or more threads configured to rotatably engage the closure with the container, wherein the thread of the one or more threads furthest from the opening extends into a circumferentially parallel relationship with the edge; and
a tamper evidence closure configured to threadably engage with the finish, the tamper evidence closure including a tamper evidence band in the form of a cam configured to engage with the finish during removal of the tamper evidence closure,
wherein the cam includes a surface configured to engage with the thread of the one or more threads furthest from the opening to retain the tamper evidence band positioned below the thread during loosening of the closure.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the tamper evidence closure includes a plurality of connections coupled to the tamper evidence band and configured to break during loosening of the tamper evidence closure.
3. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein the cam comprises an angled surface configured to facilitate passing the tamper evidence band over the one or more threads during assembly of the tamper evidence closure onto the container.
4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the thread of the one or more threads furthest from the opening has a diameter greater than any other thread of the one or more threads.
