Abstract

A tamper evident closure member 10 for storage containers, such as salt container, comprising a lid portion 12 and a wall portion 14, wherein the wall portion 14 is attached around the circumference of the lid portion 12, extending generally perpendicular away from the lid portion 12. At least one opening 16 is provided through the lid portion 12, and the, or each, opening 16 is closeable by a tab member 18 that is pivotably moveable between respective open and closed positions.
A lock member 24 associated with the, or each, tab member 18, is detachably attached to the closure member 10 so that it engages the respective tab member 18, locking the tab member 18 in its closed position, until the lock member 24 is permanently detached from the closure member 10.
