Abstract This disclosure relates to closures including means for halting corrosion, and more particularly to a closure which includes an end panel having a recessed radius which is disposed radially outboard of an inner surface of a container mouth with sealing compound between the radius and a lip of the container whereby the radius which is conventionally positioned radially inboard of the container mouth inner surface and is thus subjected to the corrosive effects of packaged products cannot now be so effected. In further accordance with this disclosure the container lip is at least in part defined by a radius opening generally concavely axially outwardly in opposed spaced relationship to the end panel radius, and the radii are complementary contoured.
A container and closure comprising a container body terminating in an axially facing lip defining a mouth of the container body, a closure, means securing said closure to said container body, said closure including an end panel and a peripheral skirt, said end panel including a recessed radius, said radius opens upwardly and in a direction toward the closure axis, an annular panel connecting said radius to said peripheral skirt, said radius being disposed radially outboard of an inner surface of said container mouth, sealing compound between said radius and said container lip, said lip includes a radius opening generally concavely axially outwardly in opposed spaced relationship to said end panel radius, said last mentioned radius is further disposed radially inboard of an outer surface of said container mouth, and said radii are complementary contoured.
