ABSTRACT:
A closure is used with a container having an annular end portion defining a radially outwardly opening annular recess. The closure comprises a generally circular closure wall, a generally cylindrical continuous sidewall having an upper edge connected to the closure wall and a continuous annular lower edge. The sidewall has an inner diameter slightly greater than the outer diameter of the container annular end portion, and a radially inwardly extending ridge on an inside of the sidewall between the upper and lower ridges. The ridge has an inner diameter less than the container annular end portion outer diameter yet greater than an outer diameter of the annular recess so that when the closure is installed on the container at least one of the container end portion and the sidewall is temporarily deformed to permit reception of the ridge in the recess to lock the closure on the container.
