Abstract

Pilfer-proof closure for containers, having a closure cap (1) of plastic designed as a screw cap, the shell (2) of which is connected in the region of the inner circumference of the shell, via tear-off webs (7), to a pilfer-proof strip (8), the outside of which has a wall section running obliquely outwards and downwards adjoining the webs and which on its inside has a circumferential recess (11) which is open towards the lower end of the pilfer-proof strip, from the upper wall section (12) of which at least one retention member (14) extends which, when the closure cap has been screwed onto the container orifice, engages beneath an annular snap-on projection of the container arranged below the screw thread of the container, the radial depth of the circumferential recess being at least equal to the maximum width of the retention member in axial section.
