Abstract: A closure for a container is provided. The closure comprises a cap and a retaining ring arranged under the cap for retaining the closure on the container in use. The cap and ring are joined by a pair of connecting arms. A first arm is non-frangibly connected to the cap at a cap tether end and circumferentially anticlockwise therefrom is non-frangibly connected to the ring at a ring root end. A second arm is non-frangibly connected to the cap at a cap tether end and circumferentially clockwise therefrom is non-frangibly connected to the ring at a ring root end. The cap can be tilted away from the ring with the arms providing a hinge-like function, and each of the arms twists between its cap tether end and its ring root end, whereby tension is generated in the arms.

Abstract: A container closure is provided and comprises a shell with a skirt for securement to a container neck finish, a tamper-evident means for indicating if the closure has been removed from a container in use and electrically conductive multi-touch contact points co-axially located around the skirt.

Abstract: A closure for a container comprises a circular base, a skirt extending from the periphery of the base, an outer seal, a plug seal in the form of an annulus, and at least one rib lying on the surface of the base in a substantially radial direction and in contact with the radially inner surface of the plug seal at one end for transferring any movement of the base, relative to the skirt, to the plug seal such that the plug seal is pulled radially inward to allow venting of excess pressure within the container. The outer seal of the closure comprises at least one deformation portion which partially interrupts the sealing effect of the outer seal in case overpressure occurs.

Abstract: A closure assembly comprising a closure spout adapted to be fitted to the neck of a container and a closure cap. The closure spout comprises a dispensing opening. The closure cap comprises an upper wall and a skirt depending therefrom, adapted to be fitted to the closure spout to close the container, especially for use on pressurized containers such as carbonated beverage containers. At least one substantially continuous second retaining arrangement on said closure spout has one ore more elongate second retaining segments. The lower second retaining surface has no pitch or at least a relatively lower pitch in a first region, a relatively higher pitch in a second region displaced from the first region in an unscrewing direction, and no pitch or at least a relatively lower pitch in a third region displaced from said second region in an unscrewing direction.
