Abstract (en)

A closure for a container, e.g. a paint or varnish tin, has an annular base (10) defining an aperture (14) and a lid (22) which is releasably securable on the base to close the aperture. Either the lid (22) or the base (10) has an annular projection (24) which is sealingly received in an annular recess (18') in the other of the lid and base. The profiles of the annular projection (24) and the annular recess (18') differ from one another such that when the lid (22) is secured on the base (10) there is noncontinuous contact between the projection (24) and the recess (18'). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
