  • Patent number: 4294368
    Abstract: The invention contemplates a formed-metal sealing cap especially adapted for removable closure of a bottle or the like container having contents under internal pressure. A circumferential pleat of the cap skirt forms the bottom rim of the upper reusable portion of the cap, and the lower portion of the cap is severably but integrally connected to the pleated region of the upper portion. In the forms described, the severable connection is via a tear-off strip of cap material which is circumferentially united to the upper reusable cap portion on a circumferentially extending locally weakened alignment, and the weakened alignment is enveloped by the pleated region. Thread-on and clinch-type cap-to-bottle embodiments are described.
