Abstract: A closure having a top wall, an annular side wall depending downwardly from the top wall defining an open bottom, an optional internal thread projecting inwardly from the inner annular surface of the annular side wall, and at least two lugs or two slots in a thread wherein the at least two lugs extend inward from the inner annular surface and at least one lug has a different arc length and at least one of the at least two slots in a thread is of a different arc length.

Abstract: A closure having a top wall and a skirt depending from a peripheral edge of said top wall. The closure includes an inner skirt depending from the top wall having at least one thread for helically attaching to a container neck. A deflection wall extends from the top wall having an inner diameter greater than a container neck. Extending from the top wall is a cutting device, defined by an axial cutter and a radial cutter for piercing a liner and cutting the liner about a circumference less than 360 degrees such that the liner is partially attached when the cutting process is completed.
