A closure 1 for a container, the closure comprising an end panel 3, a sidewall 4 depending from the end panel for extending circumferentially around the container, and a brim 5, which is located radially outward of the sidewall and which is connected to the sidewall by a multiplicity of spokes 6. The spokes extend with a radial component between the sidewall and the brim such that movement of the brim relative to the sidewall creates a radially outward pulling force to loosen the grip of the closure on the container during opening. Weakening lines may extend from the spokes into the sidewall, and wherein at least part of the sidewall and optionally the spokes may be crimped to a neck of the container. The container may be one of a beverage can, a metal bottle, and a glass or plastic bottle. The brim may be terminated at its periphery with a curled edge. Rotation of the brim about the container may permanently distort or tear a part of the closure to provide evidence of such rotation. |
