Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for closing a container (10) with a tamper evident closure (26) wherein the closure has a tamper evident ring (38) with driving features (52) that enable a given closure fitting tool (54) with driving features (60) complementary to those of the closure and the ring to be used to drive the closure and the ring onto the container neck (12) without exerting closing torque on the frangible links (40), the links may be made more readily frangible than heretofore; in an embodiment the ring driving features are one-way to prevent the tool from being used to open the container without breaking the links.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method of an apparatus for providing a vented closure (10) for a container having complementary non gas-tight features (52, 54) by which the closure may be removeably attached to close the container, by fitting a venting member (12) to form a liquid-tight, gas-venting seal between the closure and the container and provide a venting gas path from the container through the venting member to atmosphere via the complementary closure and container features; the venting member may replace or by-pass the existing sealing member in a closure.
