Patent ID: 7789254

Claim:
A tamper-evident, re-closable container, comprising: a. a container body, having a neck portion with a cammed projection, and a mouth rimmed by a lip; b. a closure having a snap-open top portion provided with a groove to rotatably engage and seal against the lip of the container, with the groove and lip forming the only interengagement between the top portion of the closure and the neck portion of the container, and a bottom portion having a contour formed therein to rest under the cammed projection; c. a breakable tamper-evident section circumferentially connecting the top portion of the closure to the bottom portion of the closure; and d. connecting means additional to said tamper-evident section connecting the top portion to the bottom portion; whereby rotation of the closure around the mouth of the container causes the cammed projection to move the bottom portion downwardly to break the tamper-evident section while the top portion remains at a constant level on the mouth of the container.
