ABSTRACT:
A closure for sealing a container having an opening covered by a seal. The closure includes a peripheral wall and a nub extending upwardly from the top of the cap. The nub is radiused and includes a rounded peripheral edge. The nub also includes a planar outer surface facing the peripheral wall. The size, location and geometric shape of the nub are selected so that when the closure is inverted, placed over the opening, and rotated 360 degrees or more, the nub will tear the seal only partially away from the container.
