Claims
- 1. A tamper evident bottle cap for a bottle, the bottle having a neck with a spiral thread and an opening, the bottle cap comprising:
- a. a lower top portion having a central opening and a first annular flange extending from said lower top portion, the inside of said first annular flange having a spiral thread;
- b. a first tamper evident ring being attached to the first annular flange;
- c. a spout being integrally connected to said lower top portion and being in communication with the hole in said lower top portion, said spout having an aperture therethrough;
- d. a top cap being slideably movable on said spout, said top cap having an upper top portion and the upper top portion having an opening, the aperture in the spout being registerable with the opening in said upper top portion;
- e. a plug extending from said spout and being registerable with the opening in the upper top portion thereby defining a closure when the top cap is in a down position; and
- f. a plurality of frangible elements connecting a second tamper evident ring, a locking shoulder on said lower top portion being in spaced relation to said pour spout, the locking shoulder holding said second tamper evident ring to the lower top portion.
- 2. The bottle cap of claim 1, wherein the lower top portion further comprises an annular sealing flange and wherein said locking shoulder includes an inwardly extending locking flange.
- 3. The bottle cap of claim 1, wherein said locking shoulder is segmented into oppositely disposed pairs of annularly spaced arcuate sections.
- 4. The bottle cap of claim 1, wherein said top cap has a closure body flange being in spaced relation with said spout, the closure body flange attaching to said frangible elements.
- 5. The bottle cap of claim 1, wherein said top cap has an engagable annular flange to stop the vertical movement of said spout.
- 6. The bottle cap of claim 5, wherein said spout has a tubular body of a known outer diameter and said engageable annular flange of said top cap has an inner diameter which is greater than said outer diameter of said tubular body.
- 7. A tamper evident bottle cap for a bottle having a neck surrounding an opening, the neck having at least two vertically spaced annular securing flanges extending therefrom, the bottle cap comprising:
- a. a lower top portion having a hole and a first annular flange extending from said lower top portion, the inside of said first annular flange having an annular retaining bead extending inwardly from said first annular flange;
- b. a tear band going around said first annular flange, said tear band being connected integrally to a tear tab;
- c. a spout being integrally connected to said lower top portion and being in communication with the hole in said lower top portion, said spout having an aperture therethrough;
- d. a top cap being slideably movable on said spout, said top cap having an upper top portion and the upper top portion having an opening, the aperture in the spout being registerable with the opening in said upper top portion;
- e. a plug extending from said spout and being registerable with the opening in the upper top portion thereby defining a closure when the top cap is in a down position; and
- f. a plurality of frangible elements connecting a tamper evident ring, a locking shoulder on said lower top portion being in spaced relation to said pour spout, the locking shoulder holding said tamper evident ring to the lower top portion.
- 8. The bottle cap of claim 7, wherein the lower top portion further comprises an annular sealing flange and wherein said locking shoulder includes an inwardly extending locking flange.
- 9. The bottle cap of claim 7, wherein said locking shoulder is segmented into oppositely disposed pairs of annularly spaced arcuate sections.
- 10. The bottle cap of claim 7, wherein said top cap has a closure body flange being in spaced relation with said spout, the closure body flange attaching to said frangible elements.
- 11. The bottle cap of claim 7, wherein said top cap has an engagable annular flange to stop the vertical movement of said spout.
- 12. The bottle cap of claim 11, wherein said spout has a tubular body of a known outer diameter and said engageable annular flange of said top cap has an inner diameter which is greater than said outer diameter of said tubular body.
