Abstract: A closure having a stopping mechanism whereby a stop lug is positionable between a flexed and unflexed position relative to a spring gap. The stop lug may project from a skirt of the closure top wall. The spring gap is positioned adjacent the stop lug to provide an area for the stop lug to travel when outside forces are applied to the stop lug and subsequently return back to the unflexed position. The stop lug may have a substantially vertical support rib in combination with a plurality of annularly spaced ribs.

Abstract: A closure for a fitment is provided with an outer side wall extending downwardly therefrom and spaced from an inner sealing ring wherein the outer side wall adjacent the top wall is provided with a plurality of spaced inwardly extending ribs, adapted for embedding into a lip at the outlet of a fitment neck.

Abstract: A bottle closure having an outer shell with a frusto-conical configuration and a rib-supported threaded inner shell is described. The frusto-conical configuration of the outer shell allows the user to easily pickup the package and grip the closure and remove it from a bottle. The inner shell is threaded to allow the closure to engagingly mate with threads on a bottle or similar container. The inner shell is supported by ribs which face toward the outer shell. The ribs provide that the inner shell can be unscrewed from a threaded core of a manufacturing mold during production without causing noticeable distortion in the closure.

Abstract: A container finish comprising a helical load carrying member which transmits downward force from the top wall of a closure to the threads of a container to prevent seal failure under stacking load conditions. The helical load carrying member is preferably located on a container neck, parallel to a primary thread. In the alternative the helical load carrying member may be located on a closure finish.

Abstract: A safety closure providing a top wall, an annular outer wall depending downwardly from an outer periphery of the top wall, an annular inner wall depending downwardly from an underside surface of the top wall, and, at least one locking lug integrally molded with the outer wall, whereby downward displacement of the top wall causes outward displacement of the at least one locking lug.
