Abstract: Described is one or more embodiments of closures that include a pressure-relieving feature in a third plug. In one embodiment, the pressure-relieving feature is a gap within the third plug. In another embodiment, the pressure-relieving feature includes one or more recesses within inner surface of the third plug, thereby providing fluid communication between an outer surface of the second plug and the ambient air outside the closure.

Abstract: A closure includes a cap having a top wall and a skirt perpendicular to the top wall and extending downwardly from the top wall to a lower edge. The skirt includes an inner surface having a sealing formation. A band is concentric with and attached to the lower edge of the skirt by a plurality of frangible members. The band remains coupled to the body of the closure even after being removed from a container.

Abstract: A closure including a top panel and a transition section extending from a peripheral edge of the top panel is provided. The closure includes a skirt extending from a peripheral edge of the transition section such that the skirt extends away from the top panel. The skirt includes a plurality of projections extending outwardly and away from an outer surface of the transition section.

Abstract: A closure that includes a top panel and a transition section extending downwardly from a peripheral edge of the top panel is provided. The closure includes a skirt extending from a peripheral edge of the transition section such that the skirt extends away from the top panel and a plurality of raised ribs. Each of the plurality of raised ribs includes a first portion extending outwardly from an outer surface of the skirt and extending axially along at least a portion of the skirt and a second portion positioned above the first portion and extending outwardly from an outer surface of the transition section.

The skirt includes a plurality of projections extending outwardly and away from an outer surface of the transition section.

Abstract: Closure caps having a tamper evident band are disclosed. The tamper-evident band includes an angled top surface and an outer surface with notch therein. The closure cap allows for a reduction in the energy required for application to the container and reduced likelihood of premature bridge breakage.
