Abstract: A cap (1) adapted for co-operation with a container (2) to provide a resealable enclosed space, said cap comprising an upper portion (3) including an elongate member (12) and a lower portion (4) having a barrier (5) or flap disposed on the lower portion to substantially prevent container contents contacting the elongate member when the cap is in a closed position, and to substantially reduce leakage of container contents when the cap is in an open or access position. An air space or cushion (6) may also be provided between the upper portion (3) and the barrier (5). A ring (8) may further be provided to seal between the upper and lower portions of the cap.
