Closure

摘要

A pre-foiled closure (2) for engaging over an open end of the container has an openable section (18) that can be pivoted relative to the non-openable section (6) of the closure. The openable section carries a foil retainer (24) which is welded to the foil. The closure is intended to be induction heat sealed to the rim of a container and can be opened by pivoting the openable section (18). This lifting action tears the foil and removes a portion of the foil attached to the foil retainer. This eliminates the need for a separate ring pull to open the closure.
