Abstract:
A tamper-evident coupling system includes a first base portion, a second base portion, a first coupling portion supported by and extending from the first base portion, and a second coupling portion supported by the second base portion and configured for cooperating with the first coupling portion. The first and the second coupling portions are configured for defining an arming condition in which the first and second coupling portions are stably engaged with each other. At least one of the first and the second coupling portions includes a removable portion that is separable from the tamper-evident coupling system upon a first disengagement of the first and second coupling portions following the arming condition to prevent a subsequent coupling between the first and second coupling portions and to show a tampering with the tamper-evident coupling system.

Claim (Index 15):
A tamper-evident container, comprising:\n storage housing made of sheet material, defining an internal volume, and configured for housing products, the housing comprising a predetermined number of lateral walls defining a passage opening delimited by a free edge, the passage opening configured for communicating the internal volume of the housing with an external environment; and the tamper-evident coupling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first base portion is rotatably constrained to the free edge of the housing, the first coupling portion is supported by the first base portion such that the first base portion is interposed between the free edge of the housing and the first coupling portion, wherein the first base portion and the first coupling portion are rotatable with respect to the housing between:\n a closed condition of the tamper-evident container in which at least a part of the first base portion prevents communication between the internal volume of the housing and the external environment, and \n an open condition of the tamper-evident container in which the first base portion and the first coupling portion enable the communication between the internal volume and the external environment, \n wherein the second base portion and the second coupling portion of the coupling system together define at least part of a lateral wall of the housing, wherein the coupling system, in a first closed condition of the tamper-evident container, is configured to define the arming condition in which the first and the second coupling portions are engaged with each other, wherein the coupling system, in a first open condition of the tamper-evident container, following the first closed condition, is configured to define a first disengagement condition in which the removable portion is configured to be separated from the coupling system to show a tampering of the coupling system and of the tamper-evident container.
