Abstract:
1. A capping system in combination with a container having a mouth and a wall segment disposed proximate to the mouth, the capping system comprising: a cap including a bottom for selectively covering the mouth, a jacket extending from said bottom, and a guarantee ring disposed at a distal edge of said jacket, said guarantee ring connected to said jacket via a predetermined rupture line; and at least one cam extending from an outer surface of the wall segment, at least partially overlapped by said guarantee ring, and applying a force on said guarantee ring when said cap is rotated a predetermined distance relative to the container to at least partially sever said guarantee ring in a direction substantially perpendicular to said predetermined rupture line, said guarantee ring including an overlapping region extending over said cam; wherein said guarantee ring includes an edge bent toward the outer surface of the wall segment, said bent edge being disposed adjacent to at least one of a first end and a second end of said overlapping region and engaging said cam when said cap is rotated relative to the wall segment; wherein said bent edge extends around a perimeter of said guarantee ring between said first end of said overlapping region and said second end of said overlapping region; and wherein said guarantee ring includes a first wall thickness and a second wall thickness less than said first wall thickness, said first wall thickness extending around a perimeter of said guarantee ring between a first end of said overlapping region and a second end of said overlapping region, said second wall thickness extending across said overlapping region between said first end and said second end.
