Abstract
Abstract A plastic closure adapted for application to an open head container body comprises a perimetral inverted U-shaped channel provided at the periphery thereof, with the channel being formed by an inner flange, outer flange, and an integral interconnecting top section. Interlocking means, provided on the interior of the outer flange, are adapted to engage the sidewall structure of the container body. Means are provided for separating the lower portion of the outer flange into separate sections in order to facilitate disengagement of the closure, with such means preferably taking the form of at least one vertical tear line severable with a screwdriver or the like.
