A dual tamper evident closure for sealing the neck portion of a container. The closure which is preferably made of one single piece of plastic material, has a body with a skirt sized and shaped to fit onto and be screwed or otherwise detachably fixed to the neck portion. The body also has a top surface with an opening in registry with the outlet of the neck portion. The closure also has a cap that is connected to the closure body by a hinge and is sized and shaped to cover the opening of the body and thus to close the outlet of the neck portion when folded down in a closed position. A tamper evident band in the form of a ring is connected by frangible bridges to the lower edge of the skirt of the body. This band is provided with hooks designed to cooperate with an annular bead projecting from the neck portion in order to rigidly retain the body onto the neck portion. A tear tab integrally projects from the peripheral edge of the closure cap in a position that is opposite to the hinge. This tear tab has an upper end that is connected by a frangible bridge to the peripheral edge of the closure cap, and a lower end that is rigidly connected to the tamper evident band. In use, the tear tab as long as it remains connected to the closure cap, warrants that the closure cap has not been lifted up and thus the container has not been opened.
Cette fermeture à sceau inviolable double permet de sceller le goulot d'un récipient. La fermeture, qui est de préférence faite d'une seule pièce de plastique, comprend un corps muni d'une jupe dont la taille et la forme sont conçues pour visser, ou fixer de manière amovible, la jupe au goulot. Le corps comprend également une surface supérieure munie d'une ouverture alignée sur l'orifice du goulot. La fermeture possède également un bouchon relié à son corps par une charnière et sa taille et sa forme lui permettent de couvrir l'ouverture du corps et donc de fermer l'orifice du goulot lorsqu'il est fermé. Une bande inviolable de la forme d'un anneau est fixée par des ponts frangibles au bord inférieur de la jupe du corps. Cette bande comprend des crochets conçus pour fonctionner avec un bourrelet annulaire ressortant du goulot afin de maintenir solidement le corps au goulot. Une languette à arracher ressort du bord périphérique du bouchon, à l'opposé de la charnière. Cette languette a une extrémité supérieure reliée par un pont frangible au bord périphérique du bouchon et une extrémité inférieure reliée solidement à la bande inviolable. En pratique, si la languette reste fixée au bouchon, cela signifie que le bouchon n'a pas été soulevé et donc que le récipient n'a pas été ouvert.
