Abstract (en)
This invention relates to containers for use with closures of the type having a plastics sealing compound on its inner surface which is deformable at temperatures above 100 DEG C. A container according to the invention consists of a container (60) having a circular opening (61) for use with a closure of the type including a plastics sealing compound therein, and has an annular sealing surface (62), a cylindrical portion (63) extending from the annular sealing surface, external screw thread means (64) standing proud of the cylindrical portion adjacent the opening and characterised by reclosure inhibiting means (65, 66) having at least one reclosure inhibiting surface facing generally towards the sealing surface, but out of alignment with the screw thread means. The reclosure inhibiting means may be a combination of circumferential ribs (65) and/or lands (66) on the screw thread means and may include a number of axial beads (69; 69 min ). Advantages of this arrangement are that reclosure of an opened container is rendered difficult without heating the sealing compound to its plastic transition temperature. <IMAGE>
