ABSTRACT:
A container and a removable closure, the container having an outlet with an inner and outer surface terminating at one end in a rim. The closure includes an end wall with an inner and outer skirt extending therefrom, the inner and outer skirts defining between them a slot which when the closure is applied to the container receives the container rim. The inner skirt includes a sealing section, and a deflecting section in the region of the free end of the inner skirt. The cross-sectional areas of the region and the cross-sectional area of the inner surface of the outlet being such that when the closure is applied to the container the deflecting section of the inner skirt engages the inner surface of the outlet to force the inner surface of the outlet adjacent the rim into sealing engagement with the sealing zone to seal the closure to the container.
