Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tamper evident container-lid combination. More specifically, the present invention is directed to provide a system for locking and sealing of a lid onto a container and forming a cooperative combination thereof preventing any unauthorized opening of the lid bypassing usual first-time post-sealing lid opening indicating arrangement present on the lid.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Moulded plastic container and lid combinations are widely used for shipping, storing, and marketing a range of products, including lubricants, paints, and food items, in both individual consumer and bulk quantities. These containers are often equipped with tamper-evident features, such as locking structures and tear strips or tear bands, to enhance security. The tear band-based lids typically include at least one locking mechanism and a tear line that allows the outer peripheral skirt of the lid to be manually torn away, either fully or partially, to disable the locking structure. The removal of the tear band provides clear visual evidence that the lid has been opened post-capping and sealing, signalling potential tampering or use.
Indian Patent No. 401417 describes a tear band-based lid-container combination, where the lid is divided into two parts: a primary part and a secondary part, connected by one or more horizontal tear bands. During the initial capping and sealing of the container, the secondary lid part is securely locked to the container using interlocking arrangements. After capping, the primary lid part can be separated from the secondary part by peeling off the tear bands. The primary part remains reusable for multiple capping cycles, as it includes detachable locking features that allow it to be reattached to the container. Meanwhile, the separated secondary part remains attached to the container, indicating that the lid has been opened post-sealing.
However, the existing mutual interlocking arrangements between the secondary lid part and the container—typically using flexible angular pushers, slots, and lugs—can be disengaged, allowing unauthorized removal of the entire lid without tampering or peeling the tear bands. This flaw permits the entire lid to be easily separated from the container with minimal effort, creating an opportunity for spurious activity without any visible indication of tampering. Furthermore, there are no features to identify attempts to disengage the secondary lid part from the container.
Therefore, there is a need for an improved locking mechanism for container-lids that prevents such unauthorized opening of the lid without compromising integrity of the tear bands, ensuring that tampering attempts are detectable by the end user.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
It is thus the basic object of the present invention is to provide a tamper-evident lid-container combination that effectively prevents unauthorized opening of the lid ensuring secure product packaging.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for sealing of a lid onto a container and forming a cooperative combination thereof preventing any unauthorized opening of the lid bypassing usual first-time post-sealing lid opening indicating arrangement present on the lid.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an improved system for container-lid locking that provide visual indication of attempting disengagement of the tear band-based lid from the container without breaking the tear bands, ensuring that the tampering attempts are detectable by the end user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS:
As outlined above, the present invention discloses a system for locking and sealing a lid onto a container, forming a cooperative combination that prevents unauthorized opening of the lid, bypassing the usual post-sealing lid-opening indicator. The system is designed with an improved locking mechanism for the container and lid, which includes tear strips or tear bands for post-sealing lid opening indication. Furthermore, the system introduces means to visually indicate any attempt to disengage the tear band-based lid from the container without breaking the tear bands, ensuring that tampering is detectable by the end user.
Reference in this context invited from the accompanying Fig 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d. The Fig 1a shows existing lid system for locking with the container and with usual first-time post-sealing lid opening indicating tear band arrangement on the lid [Ref: embodiment disclosed under Indian Patent No. 401417]. The Fig 1b, 1c and 1d show the similar lid [Ref: embodiment disclosed under Indian Patent No. 401417] with zoomed-in representation and specific markings to clearly demonstrate opening of such lid from the container bypassing the usual breaking of the first-time post-sealing lid-opening tear band.
The lid, as shown in the above referred figures, features a curved profile A that matches the shape and size of the open top B of the container. This curved profile is preferably inverted U-shaped to accommodate the container’s open top. The downward skirt portion of the lid includes a tear band C, which divides the skirt into a primary section D and a secondary section E. The secondary section E is equipped with multiple downward protruding segments F, each featuring a retainer lock G with an inward protrusion on the inner side of segment F, and a lug H with an outward protrusion on the outer side of segment F.
To close and seal the container with the lid, as shown in Figs, the downward protruding segments F penetrates through corresponding slits I of the container. To attain a locked position, once the segments F penetrates through slits I, the retainer locks G rides over outwardly biased resilient angular pushers J angular provided on the container under the slits I and gets locked thereto. At the same time, the lugs H are also locked under the slits I. As the segment F gets interlocked with the container, to open the lid, the tear band C should be separated peeled off. After peeling off and removing the tear band, the secondary section E of the lid, remains as a lock to the container which acts as evidence of opening of the lid after capping.
As shown in the Figs, with above locking, opening of the entire lid is still possible without peeling of the tear band C by using a pressure applying tool. Specifically, as shown in the Fig 1b, with the application of inward pressure on the segments F by using the pressure applying tool, the resilient pushers J can be further pressed down which releases the locking pressure that is applied on the segments F. In this condition, lugs H will be separated from locking position under the slits I and also the retainer locks G will be disengaged from its locking position under the pushers J. Now, simultaneous application of lifting force on the entire lid, will ultimately result opening of the entire lid without any having tempering indication. Further, as shown in the fig 1c, once the lid is removed from the container, the flexible pusher under its normal resilient bias will again come back to its original position. Hence, after tampering of the content within the container the same lid can be capped and sealed onto the container.
To address this limitation of the present lid-container combination, the present system includes a novel container-lid locking that provide visual indication of attempting disengagement of the tear band-based lid from the container without breaking the tear bands, ensuring that the tampering attempts are detectable by the end user.
Reference in this context invited from the accompanying figs 2a -2f which show the present system for break evident tamper proof sealing of the lid on a container and forming a cooperative lid-container combination that visually indicate attempt of any unauthorized opening of the lid without breaking the first-time post-sealing lid opening indicating tear band of the lid.
As shown in the Fig, lid of the present system is also provided with peripheral skirt portion defining a lid primary section 11 and a lid secondary section 12 with an inverted U curved profile 8 in the primary section 11 that matches the shape and size of the open top 9 of the container to accommodate the container’s open top ensuring leak proof fitting of the lid on the container.
The external wall of the U-shaped curved profile 8 defines a downward skirt portion of the lid involving the lid primary section 11, the lid secondary section 12 and one or more tear bands 10, which actually divides the skirt into the primary section 11 and the secondary section 12. The secondary section 12 is equipped with multiple downward protruding segments 13. The secondary section 12 is further provided with a rim 3 horizontally protruded outwards from the skirt portion of the lid and disposed just above the downward protruding segments 13. The horizontal rim 3 is integrally attached with the lid secondary section 12 and covers the entire periphery of lid.
Each of the segments 13 is integrally connected to its neighbouring segment via weak link breakable fragile sections 2. Thus, all the segments 13 are effectively connected to each other forming a continuous tab section with intermittent vertical breakable portions below the skirt portion covering the entire periphery of the lid.
Each of the segments 13 includes a profiled part. The profiled part is formed onto the flat surface of the segment 13 such as that the segment surface is inclined and protruded towards inner side of the lid to form a profiled lock 1, while on opposite outer side of the lid a recess 1A is formed against this profiled lock 1. The Fig 2c and 2d clearly show this configuration.
In the present system, the container is provided with a connector part 14 outwardly projected from the container’s collar position, as shown in the Fig 2b. This connector part 14 covers the entire periphery and includes a U-shaped channel that receives the skirt portion of the lid including the continuous tab section of the segments 13 during capping of the lid onto the container. Top part of inner side-wall of the U-shaped channel is integrally attached to outer surface of the container. This integral attachment is further supported with multiple ribs 6. These ribs 6 prevent any unauthorized attempt to deform the connector part 14 while it received the skirt portion of the lid.
The inner side-wall of the U-shaped channel includes perforations 4 corresponding to the profiled locks 1 of the segments 13. Outer side-wall of the U-shaped channel includes rigid ribs cum pushers 5 corresponding to the recesses 1A of the segments 13. The outer side-wall of the U-shaped channel further includes intermittent vertically disposed tamper evident weak linking slots 7.
While the lid is being capped onto the container, the skirt portion of the lid including the continuous tab section of the segments 13 is received in the U-shaped channel of the connector part 14 of the container, as shown in the Figs 2b and 2c. In this condition, to attain a locked position, while the continuous tab section of the segments 13 is being received in the U channel, the profiled locks 1 slide over the inner side-wall of the U-shaped channel and enter into the perforations 4 provided therein to get locked. In this lid-container locking configuration, the rigid ribs cum pushers 5 on the outer side-wall of the U-shaped channel are lodged within the recesses 1A of the segments 13 to clench the profiled locks 1 in it locking position. The profiled locks 1 cannot be de-locked after this fitment. Also, in this lid-container locking configuration, the horizontal rim 3 fully covers the top opening of the U-shaped channel (as shown in the fig 2c, 2e), thus protecting the locking of the profiled locks 1 in the perforations 4 from an unauthorized/intentional access or approach by any means of mechanical force.
Now, to open the lid, the tear band 10 which is now positioned above the horizontal rim 3 should be separated by peeled off. After peeling off and removing the tear band, the secondary section 12 of the lid, remains attached to the container which acts as evidence of opening of the lid after capping, while the detached lid primary section 11 can be reused for leak-proof capping onto the container, as shown in the Fig 2f. In this configuration, the inverted U curved profile 8 which is in the primary section detachably accommodate the container’s open top. The container’s open top is further provided with a hump 15 which fits in space within the inverted U curved profile 8 for leak proof fitting of the lid on the container. The entire procedure of capping of the lid onto the container, peeling of the tear band to open the primary lid section and access content and finally reusing the primary lid section is shown in the Fig 4.
Reference in this context invited from the accompanying Fig 3a-3d. The fig 3a shows side view of the of the entire lid, where the both primary and the secondary sections are attached through the first-time post-sealing lid opening indicating peelable tear band/peel off stip. The Fig 3b shows side view of the same lid configuration when tear band is peeled off. In this condition, the primary section gets separated from the secondary section. The primary section itself then can be used as reusable lid for the container. The fig 3c shows separated secondary portion of the lid, while the Fig 3d shows this separated secondary portion of the lid attached to the container.
The present system particularly ensures visual indication of any attempt of dislodging this secondary section irrespective of whether the primary section is attached to the secondary section or not. The Fig 5 shows operation of the present system to visually indicate attempt of unauthorized opening of the lid bypassing first-time post-sealing lid opening indicating arrangement present on the lid or dislodging the secondary section of the lid from the container.
As in the present system when the lid is capped onto the container for sealing, the horizontal rim 3 fully covers the top opening of the U-shaped channel (as shown in the fig 2c, 2e), any mechanical force applying tool such as screw driver or lever cannot get easy access to the locking position of the profiled locks 1 and the perforations 4. Further any attempt to dislodge the profiled locks 1 from the perforations 4 by using mechanical force applying tool (as shown in the Fig 5) will lead to breaking of the outer side-wall of the U-shaped channel from the intermittent vertically disposed tamper evident weak linking slots 7. This broken outer side-wall of the U-shaped channel clearly mark the attempt of dislodging the profiled locks 1 from the perforations 4. Further, since the pushers 5 for secured locking of the profiled locks 1 in the perforations 4 are provided in the outer side-wall of the U-shaped channel, breaking of the same will constraint re-sealing of the container with another new lid.
Added to that, attempt of separating the secondary lid part 12 from the container by using any mechanical force applying tool will lead to breaking of the fragile sections 2, as shown in the Fig 5. This will also clearly indicate the attempt of dislodging the profiled locks 1 from the perforations 4.
The introduction of the tamper evident weak linking slots 7 and the fragile sections 2 this works as a tamper evident feature of the lid to ensure 100% tamper proof and preclude counterfeiting by breaking if any attempt of counterfeiting or unauthorized opening. Because of the tamper evident feature, the lid is protected from opening and eliminated the possible safety hazards. An unauthorized opening lead to permanent damage of the lid and container. Hence it ensures the integrity of the package and ultimately it discourages the unauthorized/intentional opening or tampering.
