DISPENSING CONTAINER HAVING IMPROVED TORQUE RESPONSE AND CLOSURE SEALING

摘要

There is a dispensing container. The dispensing container has a head, a body, and a closure. The head has a neck and a shoulder. The neck also has a bore extending longitudinally therethrough. The neck defines one or more external threads. The head has an indentation extending therein and circumf erentially therearound proximal to the junction of the neck and the shoulder. The indentation is bounded by a tapered surface tapering outward with respect to the neck towards a top surface of the shoulder. The body is connected to the shoulder. The body has a chamber therein adapted to retain a product . The bore is in communication with the chamber. The closure defines one or more internal threads therein. The one or more internal threads are intermated with the one or more external threads . The closure has a skirt having a leading edge. The indentation in the head receives the leading edge. The leading edge contacts the tapered surface. The closur is openable and reclosable with respect to the head. The head and the closure are adapted such that the leading edge returns to contact with the tapered surface upon reclosure by the closure.
