Container and Membrane Therefor

Abstract

The invention relates to a container, having a container opening edge, and a membrane having a membrane tab, which membrane closes the opening and is adhered to the opening edge, wherein the tab is at least adhered to the membrane via temper proof means.

1 . A container, comprising a container opening edge, and a membrane comprising at least one membrane tab, which membrane closes the opening and is adhered to the opening edge, wherein the tab is at least adhered to the membrane via tamper proof means. 
     
     
         2 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least a temper proof element formed by a weakened part of the tab and/or of the membrane. 
     
     
         3 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least one temper proof element formed by a score in the tab. 
     
     
         4 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least one temper proof element formed by a score in the membrane. 
     
     
         5 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least one temper proof element formed by a score in the tab and in the membrane. 
     
     
         6 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the temper proof element is formed by at least one open score line, such as having the form of a triangle or partial moon shape. 
     
     
         7 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the temper proof element is formed by at least one closed score line, such as having the form of a circle, oval, square or rectangle. 
     
     
         8 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the temper proof element is connected via a weakened tab part or tab zone to a tab body. 
     
     
         9 . The container according to  claim 8 , wherein the weakened tab part or tab zone has a reduced thickness and/or reduced width. 
     
     
         10 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the tab is adhered to the membrane by seaming, gluing and the like. 
     
     
         11 . A membrane provided with temper proof means as defined in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         12 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least one temper proof element formed by a score in the tab. 
     
     
         13 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least one temper proof element formed by a score in the membrane. 
     
     
         14 . The container according to  claim 3 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least one temper proof element formed by a score in the membrane. 
     
     
         15 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least one temper proof element formed by a score in the tab and in the membrane. 
     
     
         16 . The container according to  claim 3 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least one temper proof element formed by a score in the tab and in the membrane. 
     
     
         17 . The container according to  claim 4 , wherein the temper proof means comprise at least one temper proof element formed by a score in the tab and in the membrane. 
     
     
         18 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the temper proof element is formed by at least one open score line, such as having the form of a triangle or partial moon shape. 
     
     
         19 . The container according to  claim 3 , wherein the temper proof element is formed by at least one open score line, such as having the form of a triangle or partial moon shape. 
     
     
         20 . The container according to  claim 4 , wherein the temper proof element is formed by at least one open score line, such as having the form of a triangle or partial moon shape.
