Abstract
Abstract A crown closure having a polyolefin liner that can be readily removed, said crown closure comprising a crown shell having a primer layer on its inner surface and a polyolefin liner applied to the inside of said crown shell, characterized in that said primer layer is a two-component priming consisting of an undercoat layer containing .[.a polyethylene oxide.]. .Iadd.an oxidized polyethylene .Iaddend.and a topcoat layer containing .[.a polyethylene oxide.]. .Iadd.an oxidized polyethylene .Iaddend.and at least one other compatible resin, with the provision of a printing layer of indicia at the interface between said undercoat and topcoat layers or atop said topcoat layer. Aforesaid crown closure can be prepared by providing at one face of a metal stock sheet a primer undercoat layer containing .[.a polyethylene oxide.]. .Iadd.an oxidized polyethylene.Iaddend., printing indicia thereon, providing atop said undercoat layer a primer topcoat layer containing .[.a polyethylene oxide.]. .Iadd.an oxidized polyethylene .Iaddend.and at least one other compatible resin, and thereafter forming said metal stock sheet into crown shells in such a manner that said coating layers come to the inside of the shells followed by depositing a polyolefin mass in said shells and molding same into the form of liners.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A crown closure having a removable polyolefin liner, said crown closure comprising a crown shell having a primer layer on its inner surface and the polyolefin liner applied to the inside of said crown shell, characterized in that said primer layer is a two-component priming consisting of an under coat layer containing .[.a polyethylene oxide.]. .Iadd.an oxidized polyethylene .Iaddend.and a top coat layer containing .[.a polyethylene oxide.]. .Iadd.an oxidized polyethylene .Iaddend.and at least one compatible resin, with the provision of a printing layer of indicia at the interface between said under coat and top coat layers or atop said top coat layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A crown closure having a removable polyolefin liner, said crown closure comprising a crown shell having a primer layer on its inner surface and the polyolefin liner applied to the inside of said crown shell, characterized in that said primer layer is a two-component priming consisting of an under coat layer containing .[.a polyethylene oxide.]. .Iadd.an oxidized polyethylene .Iaddend.and a top coat layer containing .[.a polyethylene oxide.]. .Iadd.an oxidized polyethylene .Iaddend.and at least one compatible resin, with the provision of a printing layer of indicia at the interface between said under coat and top coat layers or atop said top coat layer.
