Abstract (en)

A closure (10) for fitment to the threaded neck (8) of a container is disclosed. The closure is especially adapted for use in packaging products such as carbonated beverages. The closure (10) has a circular top wall (12) and an annular skirt (14) downwardly depending therefrom. The skirt (14) carries about its inside surface a closure thread (16) for cooperation with the neck thread (26) of the container. A circular, flexible, resilient liner (18) is positioned against but rotatable with respect to the inside surface of the top wall (12) and has a diameter greater than the outside diameter of the container lip (15) which defines the container mouth. There is provided an annular projection (20) which is located adjacent the inside intersection of the top wall (12) and the skirt (14). This projection (20) has a configuration whereby it presses the liner (18) on the outside edge (28) of the container lip (15) to form a gas-tight seal when the closure (10) is fitted onto the container.
