Abstract
A flip top closure has a tamper evident flap and is used on a container with a neck and an opening therein. Te neck has an outer surface with retaining means for the closure thereon. The closure has two sections that are hinged to one another and with each section having a lip extending along an edge thereof. When the closures are in a closed position, the two lips form a continuous line of contact with one another and a flap extends across the line of contact. The flap is connected to one section by ultrasonic spot welding. The flap is severable from either or both sections. When the closure is opened the flap separates from one of the sections. Previously, flip top closures have had tamper evident means inside the closure where it is not noticeable at the time of purchase.

FLIP TOP CAP WITH TAMPER EVIDENT FLAP
This invention relates to a flip top closure with a tamper evident flap thereon, said flap being severed when said closure has been opened.
Flip top closures are known and it is known to have tamper evident s flip top closures where a diaphragm is located inside the closures, the diaphragm being connected to a finger loop so that the diaphragm can be removed. One of the difficulties with the prior art closure is that the diaphragm is located within the closure itself. When consumers are purchasing products cont~ining the flip top closure, they often do not lift 0 the flip top before completing the purchase. Upon arriving at their residence, consumers will likely not open the flip top until such time as they wish to begin to use the product within the container. At that stage, the consumer observes for the first time the diaphragm within the flip top closure. If there is evidence that the diaphragm has been tampered with, it 5 is extremely inconvenient for the consumer to return the product at that time and it is also much more troublesome for the retailer to accept the return due to the large lapse in time. Often the consumer will no longer have a receipt for the product and while the retailer may not have any legal obligation to accept the return of the product, they may be forced to do so 20 so as not to suffer from damaged goodwill.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a tamper evident flip top closure where the tamper evident component is highly visible extern~lly of the closure. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a tamper evident flip top closure where evidence of tampering is 25 highly visible externally of the closure.
A tamper evident flip top pouring closure is used with a container having a neck with an opening therein, said neck having an outer surface with a screw thread and retention means for said closure thereon. The closure has a base section and an upper section connected to one another 30 by a hinge. Each of said sections have a periphery with a lip extending .. , . ~ .. . . ..... . . . .. . _ _ .

thereon. When the sections are in a closed position, the lips form a continuous line of contact with one another. When the closure is in an open position, the lips are apart from one another. When the closure is in a closed position, a flap extends across said line of contact and is affixed to said upper section and to said lower section.

Figure 11 is a sectional side view of a flip top closure in a closed position on a container.
In Figures 1 to 4, there is shown a tamper evident flip top pouring closure 2 having an upper section 4 and a base section 6. The sections 4, 6 s each have a periphery with lips 8, 10 respectively as best shown in Figure 2. The base section contains a vertical wall 12 located immediately inside of said lip 10 and seal 14 to receive a corresponding seal (not shown) within the upper section 4. The sections 4, 6 are affixed to one another by a hinge 16. An interior of the closure is conventional. The sealing o diaphragm can be included in the interior of the closure, but is preferably omitted as it is not required as a tamper evident feature.
The lip 8 of the upper section 4 has an extension 18 thereon as best shown in Figure 3 to provide gripping means for a finger of a user when it is desired to open or close the closure. When the closure is in a closed position as shown in Figure 1, a flap 20 extends across a line of contact 22 and is affixed to the upper section 4 by hinges 24 and to the base section 6 by ultrasonic spot welding 26. Preferably, the flap 20 has a circle 28 located therein to make the flap easy to remove from the lower section 6.
As shown in Figure 2, the closure 2 is in an open position with the flap 20 affixed to the upper section 4. A stub 30 of the flap 20 remains on the base section 6 and is the residue from the spot welding.
In Figure 3, the closure 2 is in an open position and the flap 20 remains affixed to the base section 6. Residual pieces of hinge 24 remain on the upper section 4 but are severed from the rest of the flap 20.
In Figure 4, the closure 2 is shown in an open position and the flap 20 has been completely removed therefrom with only the stub 30 and residual hinges 24 rem~inin~ on the base section 6 and upper section 4 respectively.

In Figures 1 to 4, the same reference numerals are used throughout for the same components and each component is not necessarily separately described for each Figure.
In Figures 5 to 8, there is shown a further embodiment of the s invention. Those components that are identical to the components of Figures 1 to 4 are described using the same reference numerals as those used for Figures 1 to 4. A closure 32 is shown in a closed position in Figure 5 with a flap 34 extçn-ling across a line of contact 22 between the two sections 4, 6. It is affixed to the upper section 4 by hinges 36 and o affixed to the base section 6 by spot welding at point 38. The flap 34 has a different shape than the flap 28 and is located on a side of the closure 32 between the extension 18 and the hinge 16.
In Figure 6, the closure 32 is shown in an open position with the flap 34 rem~ining affixed to the upper section 4 with only the stub 30 from the spot welding rem~ining on the lower section 6.
In Figure 7, the closure 32 is shown in an open position and the flap 34 is shown to be completely removed therefrom except for the stub 30 from the spot welding on the base section 6 and the residue from the hinges 36 on the upper section 4.
In Figure 8, the closure 32 is shown in an open position with the flap 34 affixed to the base section 6 and residue of the hinges 36 on the upper section 4.
In Figure 9, there is shown a further embodiment of a closure 38 in a closed position. The flap 34 is a first flap and is located on one side of 2s the extension 18 and a second flap 40 is located on an opposite side of the extension 18. The same reference numerals are used in Figure 9 as those used in Figures 5 to 8 for those components that are identical to those of Figures S to 8. Of course, when the closure 38 is moved from the closed position shown in Figure 9 to an open position (not shown) the second flap 40 can either remain affixed to the upper section 4, the base section 6 or be CA 02247813 1998-09-2~
completely removed from the closure just like the first flap 34 (see Figures 6 to 8).
In Figures 10 and 11, there is shown a sectional side view of the closure 2 mounted on a neck 42 of a container 44. The neck has screw s threads 46 thereon corresponding to screw threads 48 on the closure.
Interlocking means 50, 52 on the container 42 and closure 2 respectively prevent the screw threads from being opened once the closure is turned tightly onto the container 42. The screw threads 46 and the interlocking means 52 of the container 42 provide retention means for the container.
o The screw threads 48 and interlocking means 50 of the closure 2 provide corresponding retention means for the closure 2. When the closure has been tightened on to the container, the interlocking means 50, 52 prevent the closure from being removed without destroying or at least ~l~m~ging the closure. All of the closures shown in Figures 1 to 9 would preferably 5 have the same retention means as those shown in Figures 10 and 11. The same reference numerals are used in Figures 10 and 11 as those used for Figures 1 to 4 for those components that are identical to those of Figures 1 to 4. A seal 54 in the upper section 4 fits within the seal 14 of the base section 6 when the closure 2 is in a closed position as shown in Figure 11.
20 The seal 54 has a ridge 55 thereon to create a better seal. The closure shown in Figures 10 and 11 contains a diaphragm 56 with a finger loop 58 that is conventional and is designed to be removed when a consumer wishes to have access to a product 60 within the container 42. The flap of the present invention can be used with closures that do not have a 2s diaphragm as the flap can replace the diaphragm on the tamper evident component.
Numerous variations within the scope of the attached claims will be readily al)parelll to those skilled in the art.
