ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a closure and container assembly for a large-volume container, having an upper rim portion encircled by upper and lower spaced-apart outwardly-extending flanges. The closure includes a one-piece plastic body having a top panel and an encircling skirt downwardly depending from the top panel and integrally attached thereto. A removable tear strip is formed on the lower portion of the skirt and when the closure is fully installed, has a lower free end adjacent the lower flange of the container. A locking bead extends radially inwardly from the tear strip so as to engage an upper flange of the container, retaining the closure thereto. The tear strip includes a first pull tab and a line of weakness to provide a breakable connection between the lower tear strip and the upper portion of the skirt. A second pull tab is located between the first pull tab and the trailing end of the tear strip and remains attached to the closure after removal of the tear strip.
