In the embodiment of Fig. 6 the cap skirt 41 has a single slot 27 bridged by a member 46. Splaying of the slot is counteracted by cooperation between the ramps 42, 43 on either side of the slot 27 and the side surfaces 47a and bottom surface 47b of a recess 47 in the member 46. The closure of Fig. 13 has two slots 82, 83 in its skirt 81, each slot being bridged by members 84, 85 respectively. A detailed description of constructions of the sealing element is given with reference to Figs. 18 and 19 (not shown). Tamper-indicating means may be positioned to bridge a slot and be ruptured by the first use of the lifting element.
