Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2454511A] A container closure comprising: a plastics inner cap (2, fig 2) having a base portion (4, fig 2) and a skirt portion 5, a thread 10 on the inside of the skirt portion, a first snap fitting element (11, fig 2) on the outside of the skirt portion, and a tamper evident ring (6, fig 2) formed integrally with the skirt portion and joined to an open end of the skirt portion by severable connections; a plastics overcap 3 having a base and a skirt (26, fig 2) portion in mating engagement with the skin portion of the cap and extending beyond the open end of the skirt portion of the cap to at least partially cover the tamper-evident ring, and a second snap fitting element (31, fig 2) on the inside of the skirt that engages with the first snap fitting element on the inner cap skirt to resist separation of the overcap from the inner cap. Also provided, is a closure assembly comprising a threaded container neck and a container closure according to the invention. The overcap may be shaped to resemble the top of a champagne bottle and cork assembly. The neck and closure may be arranged to provide a vent for venting gas from the container neck upon unscrewing of the closure.
