TAMPER-PROTECTED CONTAINER EQUIPPED WITH TAMPER INDICATOR ELEMENT Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B65D43/02 

FIELD: household goods and personal effects; packaging materials.

SUBSTANCE: tamper-protected container with a tamper indicator element has a lid part with a peripheral flange extending outwards and an upper projection designed as the lid part extension. In addition to that the tamper-protected container has a base part with its top periphery edge forming (at least partly) an upwards projecting collar stretching basically along the whole base part perimeter. The upwards projecting collar is designed to prevent access to the outwards extending lid part peripheral flange while the container is closed. The container is additionally equipped with a pivot joint connecting the outwards extending lid part peripheral flange to the base part. The pivot joint has a brittle section; as a result of the pivot joint disconnection it becomes broken into an upper and a lower projections extending from the base part outwards, outside the collar of the base part top periphery edge thus facilitating the lid part removal.

EFFECT: innovative tamper protected container characterised by tightness of closure and fitness for repeated utilisation, easily opened and equipped with elements that either prevent tampering or serve to indicate tampering having happened.
