<p>A closure for a container incorporating an air valve to facilitate inflation of a bladder (20) within the container. The closure (10) includes a plug (22) for sealing an opening with the container lid. The plug has a central aperture (32) within which is seated a valve adapter (34). Extending through the aperture and engaging the valve adapter is a valve stem (52) fluidly connected to an inflatable bladder (20). The valve adapter (34) maintains the valve stem (52) above the closure for connection to an air supply for inflation of the bladder. A cap (60) snap-fits over the adapter and valve stem to protect the valve from contaminants and damage. The bladder (20) is inflated after the container has been filled. <IMAGE></p> |
