A threaded closure for pressurized containers, typically for carbonated beverages is disclosed. The closure includes a deformable liner of non-vinyl polymer which is cold formed in the closure using known techniques in such manner that the liner physically bonds to the inner surface of the end wall of the closure to be retained thereby in the absence of a peripheral lip or projections on the inner surface of the end wall of the closure. The closure itself may be either injection molded or compression molded. The usual tamper indicating ring is formed to include frangible bridge members either by molding or a separate slitting operation. The pivotally mounted tabs for separating the tamper-indicating ring are sufficiently rigid to avoid flexing at points other than at an outer edge hinge axis where pivoting is possible only to a limited degree, thus assuring the severing of the frangible bridge members at an early stage of opening of the closure. |
