CA 2289933

A closure (10) is provided for a container. The closure (10) has a body (12) and a lid (14). The closure (10) includes a tamper-indicating member (54) connected to the body (12) of the closure (10) by an anchor member (64) received in an anchor member-receiving aperture (68) defined in the closure body. The tamper-indicating member (54) is also connected along a frangible junction (60) to the lid of the closure. A plug member (62) extends from the tamper-indicating member (54) and is receivable in a plug member-receiving aperture (66) defined in the body. When the tamper-indicating member (54) is depressed to force the plug member (62) into the plug member-receiving aperture (66), the frangible junction (60) is broken, and the tamper- indicating member (54) is retained in its depressed position. This provides an indication that the closure may have been previously opened. Also, an overhanging portion (60a) of the lid (14) can be readily engaged by a finger to facilitate opening of the lid (14) relative to the body (12) of the closure (10).

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture (10) pour un récipient. Ce dispositif (10) est pourvu d'un corps (12) et d'un couvercle (14) et comprend un élément de sécurité (54) relié à son corps (12) au moyen d'un élément de fixation (64) disposé dans une ouverture de réception d'un élément de fixation (54) ménagée dans ledit corps (12). L'élément de sécurité (54) est également relié au couvercle dudit dispositif le long d'une jonction destructible (60). Un bouchon (62) s'étend depuis l'élément précité (54) et peut être reçu dans une ouverture de réception d'un élément (66) ménagée dans le corps. Lorsque l'élément (54) est enfoncé pour forcer le bouchon (62) dans l'ouverture concernée (66), la jonction destructible (60) se rompt, et ledit élément (54) est maintenu en position d'enfoncement, indiquant que le dispositif de fermeture a peut être déjà été ouvert. Par ailleurs, une partie saillante (60a) du couvercle (14) peut être facilement actionnée par un doigt de manière à faciliter l'ouverture du couvercle (14) relatif au corps (12) du dispositif de fermeture (10).
