Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020201227A1] The combination comprises a container (4) and a closure (1), the container comprising a neck (41) having an opening (40), at least one first retaining feature (47), and an outer thread (42) defining a z-axis. The closure (1) comprises - a lid member (2); - a ring member (3); - a first tether member (Tl) and a second tether member (T2), each providing an interconnection between the lid member (2) and the ring member (3). The ring member (3) is in a retained position in which it encompasses the neck (41). The at least one first retaining feature (47) limits movement of the ring member towards the +z-direction. The lid member has an inner thread (21) to cooperate with the outer thread (42) and defining a lid axis (A) which in an initial state is identical to the z-axis. The first and second tether members are designed to allow a user to move the lid member (2) from the initial state to a cleared position in which a projection of the lid member onto an x-y-plane perpendicular to the z-axis is free from overlap with a projection of the opening (40) onto the x-y-plane, while maintaining an angle a enclosed between the z-axis and the lid axis of less than 90°, in particular of less than 85°; maintaining the interconnections between the lid member and the ring member; the ring member (3) remains in the retained position.
